Brooklyn Challenge Cup. 
The sloop Waialua owned by H. L. Stone, of 
the New Rochelle Y. C., won the Brooklyn 
challenge cup. This race was started on July 2 
of? Huckleberry Island at this end of the Sound 
and the yachts raced to the Vineyard Sound 
Lightship and then to Gravesend Bay, 280 
miles. The trophy was held by the New York 
Athletic Club, and both the New Rochelle and 
the Harlem yacht clubs were the challengers. 
The defending club was represented by Victory, 
the property of H. A. Jackson, Jr., winner of 
the trophy in 1909. F. G. Bragdon’s Amorita 
flew the flag of the Harlem Y. C., and in ad¬ 
dition to the defender and the two challengers, 
the American Y. C. was represented by H. S. 
Duell’s Rowdy and the Mariner’s Harbor Y. C. 
by the yawl Helena, the property of J. Milnes. 
The start was made at 10:45 a. m. A strong 
ebb tide was flowing when the starting signal 
was set. The wind was light. Waialua was the 
first to cross the line, closely followed by 
Rowdy, Victory, Amorita and Helena. Waia¬ 
lua was never caught throughout the entire 
contest. 
The wind was free, and all carried spinnakers. 
It kept growing stronger as the afternoon ad¬ 
vanced, but always from a quarter that allowed 
the yachts to carry their light sails. Spinnakers 
were carried until off Norton’s Point, when the 
wind died away and the boats were becalmed 
throughout the greater part of Saturday night. 
Sunday morning brought but little wind. It 
grew stronger as the day advanced, and in a 
light easterly breeze, Waialua led the racers 
through the race at 11:00 o’clock on Sunday 
morning. The wind kept coming from the east, 
and the yachts had a hard time it trying to 
beat to Point Judith. Waialua, Rowdy and 
Amorita was the order of the craft at Point 
Judith. The leader was timed at 5:30 o’clock on 
Sunday night. 
As the sun sank, a heavy fog blew in. At 
12:12 o’clock on Monday morning Waialua 
passed the Vineyard Sound lightship. Rowdy 
turned at 4:10 A- m., and Amorita was a good 
20m. astern. From Vineyard Sound to Mon- 
tauk Point the boats faced a light head wind 
from the S. W. Once Montauk was astern, the 
wind hauled to the N. E. and grew steadily 
stronger. The yachts were able to lay their 
course and footed splendidly on the run along 
the south' shore of Long Island. Waialua 
logged at an average of seven knots an hour 
from Montauk to Coney Island Light. She 
finished at 3.10.12 o’clock Tuesday morning. 
Rowdy was timed at 5.35.00, and Amorita passed 
the committee boat at 6.04.00. The summaries

Gardenia Wins Cap May Race. 
Gardenia, owned by L. S. Herzig, of the 
Brooklyn Y. C., won the race over the Cape 
May course, which was started from Gravesend 
Bay on July 2. Three yachts were sent away at 
ii A. m. to sail to Fire Island, the Northeast 
End Lightship and back, finishing off Scotland 
Lightship. 
They were started in a very light wind and 
just drifted down the bay with the tide, being 
helped slightly by the light N. W. wind. Adyta 
was the first of the trio to pass out to sea. It 
was still very light weather and the three were 
in close company as they turned the lightship. 
All day Sunday it was little more than a drift, 
and the three yachts kept well together going 
down to the Northeast End Lightship. Adyta 
was the first to turn that mark, at 4:52 o’clock, 
on Monday morning. They had been in a thick 
fog nearly all day, but when near the lightship 
a sharp squall caused some trouble and in this 
Tammany broke her main gaff. Gardenia and 
Tammany were only about 15m. astern of Adyta 
when they started for home. 
The leg back to Fire Island was windward 
work in more light weather, and on this leg 
Adyta lost. Gardenia turned the Fire Island 
Lightship at 12:20 o’clock Monday morning, 
and Adyta was then nearly two hours astern 
and Tammany was- out of sight. There was a 
pleasant sailing wind in to the Scotland Light¬ 
ship, and Gardenia retained her lead, crossing 
the finishing line at about 4:30 o’clock Monday 
morning. Adyta finished at 6:02 o’clock and 
Tammany at 10:01. These times were taken 
by those on the yachts, and will have to 
be confirmed by the men on the lightship, who 
were requested to watch for the racers. 
Approximately Gardenia took 6sh. 30m., 
Adyta 67h. 2m., and Tammany 7ih. im. Tam¬ 
many, being the largest yacht, allows Gardenia 
42m. 21s., and Adyta 48m. 27s. Even with her 
allowance, Adyta cannot beat Gardenia. 
Last year Tammany won the race. She sailed 
the course in a good fresh wind in 43I1. 
On board Gardenia were Leo S. Herzig and 
W. B. Young. On Adyta were R. von Foreg- 
ger, her owner; H. von Foregger and Ellison 
and Clinton Zeitrich. On Tammany were Com¬ 
modore W. C. Towen, Daniel Hawkins, H. Bar¬ 
rett, Joseph N. Harmon, H. W. Somerville 
and Peter Bentley. 
Bensonhurst Y. C. 
The racing of the yachts in the Bensonhurst 
Y. C. on July 4 was of the best. There was a 
good breeze from E. by N., and the water was 
rather rough for some of the smaller craft. The 
racers were sent to buoy II. and then had 
windward work to Fort Hamilton, while in the 
•smaller classes the windward leg was from Sea 
Gate to Fort Hamilton. There were a few mis¬ 
haps during the day. Merry Widow capsized 
just as she started on the second round of the 
course and the members of the crew were res¬ 
cued by the launch of the schooner Lasca. 
Careless parted a stay and had to retire, and 
Mischief lost her mast. 
Gray Jacket won again in the Q Class, and 
Florence was second. La Cubana won in the 
first handicap class, and Breeze was the winner 
in the second division. M. and F. won in Class 
S, and the other winners were Skylark and 
Aries. The elapsed times:

More Joy Wins Long Race. 
More Joy, owned by W. H. Childs, won the 
race of the New Rochelle Y. C. from Echo 
Bay to Cornfield Lightship and return, 140 
miles. Nine yachts started at 11:30 o’clock on 
Saturday morning, July 9, in a light easterly 
wind. Soon the yachts were becalmed, and 
then the wind came south, and it was light and 
fluky all day and through the night. Cara Mia 
did well under the conditions and had a lead of 
about two hours at the lightship, but coming 
back she stood in to the Connecticut shore and 
was becalmed for some time, so that several 
others that had kept out in the Sound passed 
her. Windward did poorly going out, but in a 
fresher wind on the home run, sailed very fast 
and succeeded in beating More Joy across the 
line at the finish by 5m. 30s. Notos did well, 
too, at the last of the race and finished on even 
terms with Windward. Notos has not been 
measured and Crescent and some others have 
not this year’s certificates. It is possible that 
when their ratings are known some change will 
be made in the order, but it is certain More 
Joy wins first prize and Kenosha II. takes the 
second.

Marine and Field Club. 
The regatta of the Marine and Field Club, 
sailed on Gravesend Bay on July 9, was a good 
one. The wind was steady from south, and fast 
time was made over the courses. The larger 
classes sailed to Fort Hamilton, and Buoy No. 
11, Bensonhurst having windward work on the 
second leg. Thirty yachts started and all 
finished. Grayjacket won in the Q class, with 
Florence second. La Cubana won in the first 
handicap class and Kestral in the second. 
Breeze was disqualified for starting too soon.

Eastern Y. C. 
The annual regatta of the Eastern Y. C. was 
sailed on Thursday, July 7, off Marblehead. 
The start was off Half-way Rock, and the 
yachts sailed a triangular course of 22% miles. 
Eleven yachts started, and in addition to the 
class events, they sailed for the Puritan cup. 
This was won by Adventuress. In her class 
race, Adventuress beat Humma on corrected 
time. Dorello won easily from Alice and 
Odysseus II. and Amoret won the race for 31- 
raters. The times: 
Schooners, Class F—Vision, 4.04.51; Venona,

to Portland, was spoiled. All the yachts were 
towed to that port.
