[July 2, 1910. 
Crescent A. C. 
The regatta of the Crescent Athletic Club 
sailed on the Lower Bay was the best of the 
season so far on those waters. The wind was 
moderate from south by east and it held true 
all the afternoon. Twenty-nine yachts started 
and finished. The course selected sent the larger 
classes to Bensonhurst, Fort Hamilton, Buoy ir, 
and back to Sea Gate, making the leg to Buoy 
11 windward work. The smaller classes sailed 
from Fort Hamilton to Sea Gate. The sloops 
of Class Q started at 3105 reaching with booms 
to port. It was close work to the second mark, 
Grayjacket maintaining the slight lead she had 
at the start. Then, when on the wind, Gray¬ 
jacket out-footed the others. 
She did not seem to point as high as Soya, 
but she footed so fast that she more than made 
up what little she lost. The times at the finish 
of the first round were: Grayjacket, 3.56.09; 
Soya, 3.57.47; Spider II., 3.58.58. On the second 
round Grayjacket increased her lead and won 
the race easily. The finishing times were: Gray¬ 
jacket, 4.46.52; Soya, 4.51.07; Spider II., 4.51.46. 
There were six starters in the handicap class, 
three in each division. In the first division Joy 
led all the way around the course. The times 
at the home mark were: Joy, 4.05.23; La 
Cubana, 4.07.16; Miana, 4.11.41. On the second 
round Joy still led, but she could not get far 
enough ahead to save the allowances, and La 
Cubana won the race. In the second division the 
times at the first round were: Breeze, 3.55.48; 
Careless, 3.56.46; Mischief, 3.57.53. Breeze fin¬ 
ished first and she won the race. 
There were four starters in the S class. The 
times on the first round were: Blue Bell, 
3.57.45; M. and F., 3.58.51; Alice, 4.00.22; Ben¬ 
sonhurst, 4.00.26. On the second round M. and 
F. made a gain of eight seconds. Blue Bell won 
the race with M. and F. second. 
There were twelve starters in the knockabout 
class and the race was won by Platt and Tie- 
mann’s Suffragette, which led all the way from 
the start. Slow Poke was second and Chico 
third. 
F. C. Moore’s Aries won the race for sailing 
dinghies. Skeets was second, but after the finish 
R. de F. BayLy disqualified himself by announc¬ 
ing that he had forced another yacht about when 
he did not have the right of way. The elapsed

Corinthian Y. C. 
Nineteen yachts were started last Saturday 
from Marblehead in a race to Cape Elizabeth 
Lightship and return, 145 miles. They had a 
nice sailing breeze from the south. 
The schooners were started at 2125 o’clock. 
Ex-Commodore H. A. Morss’ Vision was first 
away. She was followed by Alfred Douglass’ 
Shiyessa IV., E. J. Bliss’ Venona and E. A. 
Filene’s Nokomis. 
In Class A were Wetmore & Savage’s aux¬ 
iliary Acushla II., C. B. Mosher’s Mildred III., 
Percy Chase’s Flight and Evans Dick’s Kuwana. 
Two yachts started in the race for Class P, J. 
B. Fallon’s Timandra and John Greenough’s 
Onda II. In Class N were George L. Batchel- 
der’s Dorello and C. K. Cumming’s Alice, a 
new boat making her first start. In Class B 
were A. C. Jones’ Nutmeg, PI. O. Currell’s 
Marie L., J. N. Proctor, Jr.’s, Tabasco IIP, A. 
L. Moody’s Kyris and D. N. Henwood’s Flirt. 
They nearly all carried balloons, and soon 
after the start the fleet separated into three 
divisions. Dorello was the first yacht home. 
She made the course in 23I1. 18m. 6s., averaging 
about six nautical miles an hour. The schooner 
Venona was the next yacht to finish. She was 
an hour after Dorello. 
After the ocean racers had been sent away, 
seven of the Sonder yachts were started over a 
course ten miles long. The first leg was wind¬ 
ward work, then the yachts had a run, and on 
the third reached home. On the first leg C. H. 
W. Foster's Beaver was leading, followed by 
Sally XI., Skeezix, Demon, Wolf, Harpoon and 
Lady. A long tow of barges spoiled the race 
on the second leg, seriously interfering with the 
yachts. At the second mark Demon was in the 
lead, closely followed by Sally XI., Harpoon 
and Skeezix. On the reach Skeezix and Sally 
XI. both passed Demon and when off the light¬ 
house, Plarpoon joined the leaders and she man¬ 
aged to get home a winner by 25s. Beaver was 
seriously interfered with by the barges, but she 
made up lots of lost time afterward. She did 
not finish. The elapsed times were: Harpoon, 
C. F. Adams, 2d, 1.56.05; Skeezix, F. M. Hoyt, 
1.56.30; Sally XI., L. F. Percival, 1.56.38; Demon, 
F. B. Crowninshield, 1.56.54; Wolf, Caleb Lor- 
ing, 1.57.50; Lady, Boardman & Foss, 1.59.10; 
Beaver, C. H. W. Foster, withdrew. 
South Boston Y. C. Cruise. 
The yachts of the Boston Y. C. had a three 
days’ cruise on June 17, 18 and 19, which was a 
very successful outing. Eighteen yachts took 
part. Commodore Soule, of the flagship Thialfi, 
got under way at 10 o’clock, and then waited in 
Dorchester Bay until the rest of the fleet fol¬ 
lowed. By 11 o’clock these yachts were off for 
Marblehead. The fleet remained a day then sailed 
to Gloucester and then home. There were races 
on each day’s run, and first, second and third 
prizes for sailing craft and first, second and 
third prizes for motor boats. 
The winners of the motor boat race were 
Snapshot, Harry Greene, first, winning the com¬ 
modore’s cup; Heatherbell, Captain Clark, win¬ 
ning the vice commodore’s cup, and Alvasse, 
William Cogan, winning the rear commodore’s 
cup. 
There was a misunderstanding about the finish 
of the first day’s run, and so points have been 
credited to the racers for the other runs, and a 
third race was sailed on July 25. 
Annie C., owned by George Carroll, won first 
prize, scoring twenty points. Winona, owned by 
Peter Crow, took third prize with seventeen 
points. 
The yachts that took part in the cruise were: 
Vice-Commodore Tobin’s Gertrude; sloops, Wi¬ 
nona, owned by Murphy brothers; Varuna, 
Charles Nodwell; Sunrise, Charles Reinhardt; 
Sho-Sho-Nee, Ed. Gibb; yawl Primrose II., W. 
H. Huggan; raceabouts Primrose, McDonald 
and Ramseyre; power boats, Mary A., E. D. 
Locke; Lillian S., F. W. Strickler, and Heinie, 
Schreiner and Chance; jib and mainsail, Lorna 
Doone, Peter Gray; steamer Lillie G., ex-Com- 
modore Goldsmith; sloop Frolic, L. S. Andrews, 
and the yawl Emma C., Perkins brothers. 
Wollaston Y. C. 
A club championship race was sailed by mem¬ 
bers of the Wollaston Y. C. on June 25 in a 
light east wind. The course was triangular, 7 
miles in all. The times: 
Class A—Eleanor, 1.13.11; Thordis, 1.15.17. 
Class B—Aspinquid, 1.29.17; Louise not meas¬ 
ured. 
Class C—Kitten, 1.51.49; Peacock, 2.40.40; Dol¬ 
phin, not measured. 
ClassD—Terror, 1.26.40; Oxaca, 1.38.34; Lot¬ 
tie, 1.42.29; Eagle, 1.47.47. 
Sonders on Buzzard’s Bay. 
The Eastern Y. C. recently announced that the 
trial races to be sailed for the purpose of select¬ 
ing three yachts to go to Germany next year 
would be sailed on Buzzard’s Bay beginning on 
Sept. 3. The reason for the change from Mar¬ 
blehead is that in the opinion of some yachts¬ 
men the conditions on Buzzard’s Bay more 
nearly resemble those at Kiel than at any other 
point. Experience has shown the Sonder class 
men that they have been beaten at Kiel because 
their yachts are better suited to smooth water 
and their boats are not good in the choppy water 
and strong winds of Kiel. 
Buzzard’s Bay is noted for its brisk winds and 
short, smart, choppy sea, and for that reason 
has been selected as the place for the trials. 
Some yachtsmen, however, find fault with this 
selection because they say in September soft 
variable airs and smooth seas are likely t,o pre¬ 
vail. They admit that Buzzard’s Bay would be 
a good place earlier in the season, but maintain 
that the southwesters usually blow themselves 
out by the end of August. Marblehead, accord¬ 
ing to these yachtsmen, is as likely to furnish 
strong winds and choppy seas. 
The Sonders raced off Marion last Saturday 
under the auspices of the Sippican Y. C. Ten 
yachts started over a course of eleven miles, and 
they were favored by a strong east wind. To¬ 
boggan, owned by R. W. Emmons, 2d, won the 
race. She was closely followed by Dwight S. 
Davis’ Helen, J. L. Stackpole’s Sea Coon, Galen 
L. Stone’s Peg, C. E. Hellier’s Sally H„ G. C. 
Thomas’, Jr., Bessie II., H. C. Converse’s 
Wachester and PI. Stockton’s Scevix. Maila, 
Tycoon and Juanita also started. 
St. Lawrence a Fast Yacht. 
The Seawanhaka cup challenger St. Lawrence, 
which will represent the Royal St. Lawrence 
Y. C. in races against the Manchester Y. C. de¬ 
fender Massachusetts this month off Marble¬ 
head, has shown that she is a very fast yacht. 
She has sailed trials against Thorella in light 
airs and has easily beaten the trial boat. The 
Canadians are confident that they will recapture 
the cup in the races to be sailed during the week 
beginning July 25. G. H. Duggan is handling 
St. Lawrence and C. H. Routh is sailing Tho¬ 
rella. A second suit of sails has been made for 
St. Lawrence by Ratsey. The yacht is owned 
by Mackay Edgar, who has had a motor -boat 
built which is to race for the British Interna¬ 
tional trophy in these waters next August. 
Beverly Y. C. 
The club race of the Beverly Y. C., on Buz¬ 
zard’s Bay, last Saturday, was over the course 
off Wings Neck. Fifteen yachts started. All 
the Sonder boats were racing at Marion. The 
wind at the start was strong from the north¬ 
east, but it died away toward the end of the 
races. The times: 
Twenty-one-foot Class—Lepag, 2.34.05 ; Ter¬ 
rapin, 2.34.551 Macabaro, 2.38.05; Gypsey, 
2.38.30; Scallop, 2.41.45; Phantom, 2.45.20; 
Barnacle, 2.54.35.

Columbia Y. C. 
The second of three races for the officers’ cups 
of the Columbia Y. C. was sailed in Dorchester 
Bay on June 25. There were two classes and 
the motor boats. The third race will be sailed 
on July 23. The first race was sailed June n. 
Annie C. got first prize and Sintram second in 
the first class. Rival and Tag II. were winners 
in the second class and Beachcomber won the 
race for motor boats. In the second race Sin- 
tram won in the first class, with Annie C. sec¬ 
ond. Rival won in the second class with Grandee
