King Philip Y. C.

Harold S. Vanderbilt’s schooner Vagrant left 
Bristol last Saturday for New York where she 
will fit out for the race to Bermuda. She had 
a very successful trial on Narragansett Bay. 
Pacific Coast Yachting. 
San Francisco, Cal., June 17.—The race for 
the San Francisco perpetual challenge cup, held 
on the bay May 21, promised to be one of the 
most exciting in a number of years, and would 
’have been exceedingly close but for an accident 
to Merry Widow m the beginning of the race, 
causing her to receive such a set back that she 
could not make up the lost time, and Ruby, of 
the Corinthian Y. C., won the cup for her club 
for another twelve months. As it was the vic¬ 
tory was not easily gained and the general opin¬ 
ion is that the accident cost Merry Widow the 
race. The weather was ideal, the wind being 
strong and steady, insuring plenty of speed. 
Both yachts got away well, Ruby having a lead 
of three seconds. Before the yachts had sailed 
a quarter of a mile, Merry Widow’s mainsail 
dropped, the band on the mast which holds up 
the throat halyards having broken. The dam¬ 
age was repaired in three minutes. The beat to 
the Presidio buoy was very exciting and Merry 
Widow was 41 seconds behind her rival when 
the buoy was rounded. In the run before the 
wind that followed Merry Widow passed the 
Corinthian boat, and when the Goat Island buoy 
was reached, she was im. and 20s. ahead. This 
lead was increased to 2m. and 29s. at the South¬ 
ampton buoy. On the second beat to windward 
the Alameda boat continued to gain. However, 
Ruby showed a lot of speed on the home run 
and crossed the finishing line a winner. 
A race that promises to be of more than ordi¬ 
nary interest has been planned by the Corinthian 
Y. C. to be held on July 9, this to be open to 
any yacht on the bay belonging to any recog¬ 
nized yacht club. The boats will be divided into 
two classes, schooners and sloops, and valuable 
prizes will be offered for the winners in the two 
contests. The trophy will become the property 
of the winner and the race will be for the fastest 
time over the course selected. Actual sailing 
time counts, there being no time allowance, no 
allowance for light sails or any of the usual re¬ 
strictions. In the various yacht clubs there are 
many speedy craft that have never been in com¬ 
petition with each other, and this opportunity is 
afforded to allow owners to settle disputes as to 
the speed of their craft. 
The annual regatta of the Corinthian Y. C. is 
usually held on May 30, but this year Mondfiy 
being a holiday, many of the yachtsmen desired 
to get away for a longer cruise, and the date 
was changed to June 11. This club held a three 
days’ cruise commencing May 29, and that after¬ 
noon sailed to Vallejo with the San Francisco 
Y. C. During Sunday they cruised in Suisun 
Bay and returned to Tiburon Monday. The Cali¬ 
fornia Y. C. also held a three days’ cruise and 
went to Army Point, making the trip to Vallejo 
on Sunday. There its fleet joined that of the 
Corinthian Y. C. and the San Francisco Y. C., 
and the trip homeward was made together. The 
South Bay Y. C. took advantage of the holiday 
to cruise to Redwood City. 
The old cutter Folly, formerly well known on 
the bay, but for several years discarded, has 
been rebuilt at Woodward’s and made her re¬ 
appearance a short time ago. She brings back 
memories of the times when it was considered 
that a cutter-built yacht was the fastest craft 
afloat. 
The sloop Aileen, belonging to Harry Brindle, 
will sopn be placed in commission and is ex¬ 
pected to be a very speedy craft, being built 
after the style of the Eastern sloop Sally VII. 
The new boat will probably measure into the 
30-foot class. 
William Watson, a member of the Hiolian Y. 
C., was recently married to Miss Jean Flemming, 
of Alameda, and is now away on a honeymoon 
trip in the yacht Hoot Mon. He had informed 
his friends that he planned to take a train for 
the South, but his intention to use the yacht 
leaked out, and when he boarded it with his 
bride, he was rather surprised to find the sides 
painted with large inscriptions: “We have just 
been married,” and “We are off on our honey¬ 
moon,” and the decks covered with rice. The 
honeymoon will be spent cruising up the Sacra¬ 
mento River. 
Toledo Y. C. Schedule. 
The Toledo Y. C. has issued an attractive 
programme for its races for July 2 and 4. It 
is made to represent a big firecracker, the cover 
being red and having a string for a fuse. Pic¬ 
tures are printed of President Taft, Commodore 
S. O. Richardson, Jr., Commodore Merrill B. 
Mills, Governor Harmon and of the trophies to 
be raced for with the conditions governing each

catboats. This was won last year by ’Possum. 
The name of the winning yacht is engraved on 
the cup and the captain and crew of the win¬ 
ning boat receive medals. The Mill trophy, a 
punch bowl and cups, is for long distance rac¬ 
ing. This was won in 1907 by Shark, in 1908 by 
Agawa and again by Agawa last year. The 
Governor’s cup is for Class B, long distance, 
and it was won last year by Wedge. The Blade

Winchester Reaches Port. 
The steam yacht Winchester, built at Glasgow 
for Peter W. Rouss, arrived on Thursday, June 
23. Previous to this she had made two unsuc¬ 
cessful attempts to cross the ocean and was al¬ 
most lost when off the Irish coast last Novem¬ 
ber. This time she was towed to Ponta Delgado 
and then came under her own power. She is a 
turbine steam yacht built by Yarrow & Co., from 
designs by Cox & Stevens. Her dimensions are 
170 feet over all, 165 feet waterline, 15 feet 
beam and 9 feet draft. She is driven by three 
Parsons turbine engines and steam is generated 
m two. watertube Yarrow boilers. She uses 
crude oil for fuel and carries a crew of ten men 
Winchester is a thirty knot vessel. 
The third race won by Westward w'as sailed 
Sunday last. It was for the Jubilee prize and 
the course was thirty-four miles. The race was 
a close one, and it was interesting because the 
wind was strong. Westward won, beating Ger¬ 
mania im. 42s. and Meteor 2m. 54s. Westward’s 
time was 3h. urn. 18s. 
On Monday Westward won again. The course 
was thirty miles and the race was a close jyne. 
Germania was second and Meteor third. Ham¬ 
burg withdrew, as she had a slight accident. 
Westward’s Successes. 
The schooner yacht Westward started her 
campaign very successfully by winning the first 
race in which she sailed in the regatta of the 
North German Yacht Squadron, sailed off Cux- 
haven on Tuesday, June 21. The wind was fresh 
and the times made by the yachts were: West¬ 
ward. 3.50.52: Hamburg, 4.23.28; Meteor, 
4.24.43; Germania, 4.34.36. 
She next took part in the race for the Krupp 
Memorial prize on . Friday, June 24. This race 
was sailed in very light weather, the yachts being 
absolutely becalmed at times, and it took more 
than nine hours to cover the course. Westward 
finished thirty minutes ahead of Meteor on which 
the German Emperor sailed. Hamburg was 
third and Germania fourth. Westward received 
a tremendous ovation from the British steam 
yachts in the harbor as she crossed the finish¬ 
ing line.
