Mosquito Fleet Races. 
Quite a large fleet of yachts took part in the 
Mosquito Fleet Y. C. races off City Point, Bos¬ 
ton, last Saturday, and in each class the contest 
was good. The strong southwest wind caused 
trouble to some boats, and others found the 
wind too much for them and withdrew. Vir¬ 
ginia broke her gaff and Wawenock had her 
mainsail carried away. Until the accident, Vir¬ 
ginia was leading in her class. Off the wind 
Flirt was the faster, but on the wind Virginia 
worked through Flirt’s lee and gained half a 
minute lead. Flirt won the race easily. In class

South Boston Y. C. 
Massachusetts Bay yacht racing was started 
for this season on Decoration Day with the re¬ 
gatta of the South Boston Y. C. Seventy-two 
yachts took part in the many class events, and 
of these sixty-nine finished. In the power boat 
races there were fourteen starters. Amoret met 
the new Italia and won, crossing the finish line 
with a lead of 46s. The wind was light and fit¬ 
ful. What there was came northwest, but the 
day as a whole was a disappointing one from a

Sovereign is a Fast Boat. 
The steam yacht Sovereign has had two trials 
and shown great speed. First she was sent over 
the measured mile course and averaged 35.9 miles 
an hour. Her guaranteed speed was 35 miles. A 
few days later she was given a trial on the Hud¬ 
son River over a course 17 miles long. She 
was sent against a strong tide and covered the 
course in 26 minutes 55 seconds, which is at 
the rate of 37.7 miles an hour. Sovereign was 
built by the Gas Engine & Power Company at 
Morris Heights for M. C. D. Borden. The 
trials were in charge of her designer, Charles 
L. Seabury, who is confident that later this 
vessel will make 40 miles an hour.
