New York C. C. 
The first championship regatta of Gravesend 
Bay for this season was sailed last Saturday 
under the auspices of the New York C. C.. As 
Grayjacket and Suelew, two of the class Q 
boats, had been badly damaged in the storm of 
June io, the association, at the request of the 
owners of other yachts in this class, decided 
that the race for this class should not count for 
the championships. Grayjacket had not been 
repaired and Suelew was launched only in time 
to start. That yacht had some more hard luck 
then. She was run into by a motor boat and 
had a hole knocked in her side. The hole was 
plugged and she took part in the race. 
The wind was very light from S. W., and the 
yachts could get around the course only once. 
The first leg was to Sea Gate and this was wind¬ 
ward. W. A. Barstow’s last year’s boat. Soya, 
won in class Q, defeating Suelew im. ios. in a 
course of 6 miles. In the other classes the new 
boats were also beaten. The class S race was 
won by Gunda with M. and F. second, while 
the craft built this year finished third and fourth 
respectively. On both corrected and actual time 
Joy won the percentage class and Mouse was 
the winner among the X boats. Once more 
Aries led home the dinghies of the New York 
Canoe Club. 
The race was managed by John R. Brophy, 
chairman of the regatta committee. His as¬ 
sistants were Commodore L. M. Pultz, Fred 
Speidel, Louis S. Tiemann and former Commo¬ 
dore D. D. Allerton. The committee boat was 
Carrie M. Potter. The times:

Rhode Island Y. C. 
Light paltry winds coming from all direc¬ 
tions spoiled the regatta of the Rhode Island 
Y. C. last Saturday. Those who kept down the 
middle of the bay came back winners and those 
who went toward the west shore looking for 
a breeze from that direction were- either be¬ 
calmed or had to do some lively work to get 
around the Nayatt stake in time to keep in sight 
of their more fortunate rivals on the way back. 
Isuelo carried oft her fourth consecutive 
win in the Q class. E. L. Arnold and his friends 
tried to convince themselves that they were 
dubious as to the outcome when she went off 
in the light breeze, but every puff seemed to 
increase her lead. She was nearly 8m ahead of 
Gazelle at the finish mark, with Idler, Molly 
and Paloma trailing along behind. 
The big class D cats crossed the finish line 
with hardly a minute between each boat, Mar¬ 
guerite winning on the corrected time by less 
than a minute. 
The class E cats crossed the line a minute 
apart in the following order: Gilt Edge, 
Trinket, Bother and Netor. 
In the 18-foot class Wanderer VI. went down 
toward the cove behind Conimicut Point look¬ 
ing for a westerly breeze and found a dead calm, 
where she flapped around until the others had 
got a nice lead in the middle of the bay by float¬ 
ing along with the tide and using what little 
breeze there was. After they turned the Nayatt 
Point buoy the westerly breeze made things 
interesting, and Arrow came up to the finish a 
winner among a big fleet, with Dorothy, Wan¬ 
derer VI., Answer, Mouse and Bat all within 
close range. 
In the second division of the 18-footers 
Bonito had a mile lead after passing Greene’s 
Island, until Grayling and Mystery struck a 
breeze that sent them along at a great rate 
unaer full sail, while Bonito was tacking. 
Grayling took the lead by setting her spinnaker, 
and kept it throughout the race, but was dis¬ 
qualified on a protest from Bonito afterward for 
passing inside the Greene’s Island buoy. Bonito 
rounded the Nayatt Point buoy the last of the 
trio, but passed Mystery on the way back. She 
could not catch Grayling, however, although 
she got the first honors through the latter’s dis¬ 
qualification. 
In a hotly contested race in the Z class, Little 
Mother walked away from Rube and Bud. The 
six boats in class X were well strung out, Alma 
coming in with a 2m. lead. 
Boston Y. C. 
Racing off the Hull station of the Boston Y. 
C. opened last Saturday. There were forty-four 
yachts in the regatta and all but the Cape cat- 
boats finished. Much of the interest in the race 
was centered around the match between the 46- 
footers Altair and Acushla II., which was sailed 
over an outside course. In the light to drifting 
breeze Acushla gave Altair a decisive beating. 
These boats were started off the club house, 
sent out through Hull gut and then over a tri¬ 
angular course back to a finish inside. Out¬ 
side the gut the two sloops found even less air 
than in Hingham Bay. 
The other racers had a course inside. The 
31-raters and Flirt of the first special rating 
class had the southeasterly breeze they started 
with. The other racers finished in a rather 
smart northerly air. 
Every boat in class P, except Amoret, led at 
some time during the race. The start went to 
Italia, then came Timandra, Amoret and 
Wianno in order. At the first turn the Italia 
was leading, but before she got by Bumpkin 
Island on the run to Quincy Great Hill mark, 
both Timandra and Wianno passed her. At 
the finish Timandra led Italia by nearly 5m., 
which goes to show that the Fallon 31-rater is 
a wonder in light airs. The times:

Seawanhaka Corinthian Y. C. 
T. B. Bleecker’s 15-footer won the weekly 
race for boats owned in the club sailed off the 
Seawanhaka-Corinthian Y. C. house at Oyster 
Bay. The wind was light from the southwest. 
The times, start 3:15: Sabrina, 1.28.50; Iris, 
1.29.02; Thelma, 1.30.02. 
American Sonders Win. 
The first race of the series between the Ger¬ 
man and American Sonders at Kiel was sailed 
last Monday. The American boats finished first, 
second and third in the race. The times were: 
Beaver, 2.49.15; Cima, 2.49.18; Bibelot, 2.49.30; 
Tilly XIV., 2.52,58; Seehund III., 2.56.16; Wann- 
see, 2.56.31. The wind was brisk at the start, 
but later moderated, and a smooth sea favored 
the Americans. 
The victory which inaugurated Kiel Week was 
a brilliant one. After the first leg the race be¬ 
came a double contest, the Americans fighting 
nip and tuck for first honors, and the German 
racers see-sawing by themselves in a second 
group. The race was over a triangular course, 
twice around, and with the first leg a thrash 
to windward, the second a reach followed by a 
spinnaker run. 
This is the first time that American Sonders 
have won in German waters. In their visits to 
this country the German yachtsmen won a 
race each time. The series is continued until 
one yacht has won three races, but after the 
third race only those having scored a victory 
can compete. The prize is the German Em¬ 
peror’s cup, and the second prize the Prince 
Henry of Prussia cup. 
New York Y. C. Yearbook. 
The New York Y. C. year book for 1911 has 
just been issued. It is much smaller in size 
than those heretofore issued and is thus much 
more convenient because more easily handled. 
It contains all the necessary information for the 
use of its members and others. The size of the 
book is 5x7 and it weighs 16 ounces.

Inspectors Hold Up Races. 
United States government inspectors are re¬ 
sponsible for bringing to a close the opening 
races of the Jubilee Y. C. at Beverly, Mass., 
last Saturday, in the power boat events. The 
inspectors stopped boat after boat as thfev were 
speeding toward the mark in the opening event 
of the season to make an inspection to see if 
the boats were properly equipped according to 
law. 
Each racing boat displayed a club flag and a 
number. So many boats were held up and the 
holdups coming at a time when seconds were 
valuable, the judges, after a conference with the 
various entrants, decided to call the race off. 
The action of the inspectors aroused a wave of 
indignation among the members of the club and 
protest is to be sent to Washington. Members 
think that boats could have been inspected be¬ 
fore the race. President William H. Taft is a 
member of the club and also Secretary of Navy 
George Von L. Meyer and Congressman A. P. 
Gardner, and personal letters are to be sent to 
them in regard to the action of the inspectors. 
National Y. C. 
Through the disqualification of Edgar F. 
Luckenback’s Empire in the power boat race of 
the National Y. C. the other day, the first prize 
in the contest was won by Kitsix, the recently 
built Marblehead racer of F. D. Gheen. The 
Empire was disqualified for not passing the 
Southwest Spit buoys. The summaries:
