New York Y. C. Race, June 18. 
Another fluky day’s racing fell to the lot of 
the New York Y. C.’s boats in their annual re¬ 
gatta, held off Glen Cove, on Long Island 
Sound. Thursday, June 18. Fifteen yachts par¬ 
ticipated, but practically only one class, the 57- 
footers, finished the race. Dahinda, a New 
York thirty, did manage to make a race by 
finishing before a half hour after sunset. 
The start was postponed over an hour, wait¬ 
ing for a breeze, and when the yachts were 
started in a moderate south by east breeze, the 
yachtsmen were hopeful of a good race, but 
were soon disappointed, for it flattened out 
calm. Then in soft patches the breeze came in 
first from one point of the compass then an¬ 
other; until the light sail shifting had tired 
every one. 
With their light lofty rigs, the Aurora, Ista- 
lena and Avenger managed to sneak around 
the course fairly well, but the low rigs of the 
thirties failed to furnish the horse power neces¬ 
sary. The course for all classes was from the 
usual club mark off Glen Cove, N. l / 2 W. to 
and around the gas buoy off Scotch Caps; 
about 3 }/ 2 miles; thence N. E. by E. Y E. to a 
mark off Woolsey’s Reef, just below Shippan 
Point, 7 3-8 miles, and thence S. W. */& S. 9% 
miles to the finish, 20^5 miles.

Lloyds’ Register for 1908. 
Loyds’ Register of Yachts for 1908 has been 
received at this office, and it maintains its 
former standard of excellence, in both compila¬ 
tion of yachting data often so valuable to 
yachtsmen and in its binding and printing. 
It contains names of 7,884 yachts with their 
dimensions, owners’ and builders’ names, port 
and tonnage, etc.; 1,770 private flags all printed 
in colors; yacht club flags and a lot of other 
information on British yachting very valuable 
to the yachtsman. 
Also a copy bound, to match the foregoing, 
of the rules for the construction and classifica¬ 
tion of yachts. 
The H awaii Race. 
The America’s Cup races never created so 
much interest in proportion to the total inhabi¬ 
tants of the countries involved as the coming 
race to Hawaii between three California yachts 
HAWAII. 
and the one Hawaiian entry, the schooner yacht 
Hawaii. This handsome vessel was built by 
popular subscription among the inhabitants of 
the island whose name it bears. Seven hundred 
and fourteen subscriptions were received, many 
of which counted only as one, represented dona¬ 
tion from dozens of employees, so that it is 
safe to estimate the number of persons directly 
interested in the success of the schooner yacht 
Hawaii in the coming race at one thousand 
people. Think of the enthusiasm there will be 
on that island in the Pacific from July 4—the 
day the race starts—until the winner arrives off 
Diamond Head! And if the home-built craft 
be the first one, imagination is the only photo¬ 
graph capable of doing justice to the scene. 
The Hawaiian Y. C. is sponsor to the scheme, 
and it is due to the perseverance and energy of 
its most capable committee, Henry E. Cooper, 
Charles T. Wilder and W. H. Mclnerny, who 
bore the burden of raising the money and 
superintending the construction, that Hawaii 
was built. Associated with this committee were 
Sanford B. Dole, Col. Samuel Parker, R. W. 
Shingle and Alex. Lyle. 
James Lyle, senior member of the firm of 
Lorenson & Lyle, who built the Hawaii, was 
born at Dartmouth, on Halifax Harbor, N. S., 
seventy-four years ago. He started shipbuild¬ 
ing when he left school in the yard of his father, 
who built clipper ships for Cunard, founder of 
the Cunard Steamship Line. When a- young 
nian, Lyle moved to the United States, going 
into the yard of Donald McKay at East Boston, 
where he helped build the famous clipper 
Sovereign of the Seas. Later Mr. Lyle worked 
for H. I. Crandall building railways. On the 
completion of one of these at Honolulu, Mr. 
Lyle became superintendent of the railway and 
remained in Hawaii. 
When the ’Frisco boats were in Hawaii, the 
yachtsmen were given a banquet in Pearl 
Harbor, and at this banquet W. H. Mclnerny 
promised that in the next race the islands 
would send a boat that would sail circles 
around the schooner Lurline and triangles 
around the yawl Anemone. 
“Then you’ll have to build your boat in 
heaven,” retorted the owner of the Lurline. 
“We’ll build her in Hawaii, which will be 
about the same,” answered Mclnerny amid 
great applause. 
And so Hawaii was built and by now almost 
arrived at San Pedro, from which the race is to 
start for Hawaii on July 4.
