Edgewood Y. C. 
The regatta of the Edgewood Y. C. last 
Saturday was sailed in a stiff breeze, which in¬ 
creased toward the finish of the race, so that 
some yachts had to reef. Hugi beat out 
Question and Bat in the 18-foot knockabout 
class, over a minute ahead of Question and al¬ 
most two minutes ahead of Flint’s boat. Medric 
II. was pitted against May Queen and sailed a 
fine race. Mystery beat Alice W., while Molem 
finished ahead of Trinket and Glide. Glide car¬ 
ried away her mast in a heavy squall and did 
not finish. Ina had little difficulty in cleaning 
up Bother and Trouble in the inter-bay catboat 
class. 
Ilugi’s win gives her a big lead in the compe¬ 
tition to select three boats to go to Massa¬ 
chusetts Bay and race the 18-footers there. The 
summary: 
Class R, 18-foot Knockabouts.—Hugi, 1.25.17; 
Question, 1.26.13; Bat, 1.27.36. 
Class V, Interbay Catboats.—Ina, 1.07.03;

Pacific Coast Yachting. 
San Francisco, July 1.—The Corinthian Y. 
C., under whose auspices the annual race from 
San Francisco to Santa Cruz is held, announces 
that this year a larger number of vessels will 
compete than ever before. Although official 
entries have not been filed as yet, it is an¬ 
nounced that the following will be sure to start: 
Schooners—Chispa, Marion, Lady Ada, Martha. 
Yawls—Olga, Frolic, Dunbar. Ketch—Evian. 
Sloops—Merry Widow, Ruby, Monsoon, 
Emma, Queen,, Kathleen, Fulton G., Yankee, 
Presto, Mischief, Alert, Meteor. The club has 
issued the' following announcement regarding 
the race: 
“The third biennial ocean yacht race from a 
California port to Honolulu will start from San 
Pedro on July 9, and the South Coast Y. C., 
which has charge of the arrangements on this 
side, now has four entries. The entries to date 
are the yawl Winsome, a boat built in Southern 
California last winter; Sweetheart, a schooner; 
Hawaii, now being brought over from the 
islands for the race, in charge of Captain Chas. 
T. Wilder, and Molilou, of San Francisco. This 
craft is now receiving the finishing touches in 
the yards, of Stone & Van Bergen, and is owned 
by Francis B. Smith, who expects to use her in 
the islands. The yacht will be sailed by Louis 
T. Ward, Commodore of the Aeolian Club of 
Alameda, and the crew will be members of that 
club who have accepted his invitation to make 
the trip. Both of the former races were won 
by the schooner Lurline, but it is not believed 
that she will be a starter this year.” 
K. R. Bradley, ex-Commodore of the South 
Coast Y. C., has just had a yawl-rigged yacht 
launched from the works of the Joe Fellows 
Boat Company at Los Angeles Harbor. The 
craft has been named Idler, but is not expected 
to live up to that name, as she is expected to 
prove very fast. 
Gulf Yachting. 
New Orleans, July 5. —The annual regatta of 
the Southern Gulf Coast Yachting Association 
was held in Mobile Bay Tuesday, July 4, but it 
was a disappointing affair, on account of the 
bad storms encountered by both the sailing and 
motor boat crafts which raced from West End 
in this city to Mobile. The craft were badly 
battered and several had to seek safety in va¬ 
rious places from the storm on Mississippi 
Sound. Blackhawk, a speedy motor boat, owned 
by Fred Salmen, of Slidell, La., is still missing. 
There were two aboard the boat, and it is 
thought the craft put in in some harbor along 
the way. 
The winners in their respective classes among 
the sailing boats were Cadillac, which defeated 
ChewinkllL; Sinner defeated Agnes; Mohawk 
won in her class, and Xiphias was the victor rn 
the catboat class. The time made by the boats 
was not unusual. The rain and storms prevail¬ 
ing marred the regatta and caused much disap¬ 
pointment. The motor boat races were post¬ 
poned from Sunday to Monday, on account of 
the heavy rains, and then only two boats 
entered, and one of these broke down and had 
to retire. 
At the conclusion of the regatta the Mobile 
Y. C. gave a dinner and dance complimentary 
to the visiting yachtsmen. This affair was very 
pleasant and enjoyed by all who participated. 
The several prizes were distributed to the win¬ 
ners, and the prizes offered by the merchants 
here for the boats reaching Mobile first from 
New Orleans will be given out to the winners 
within the next few days. 
The Biloxi Y. C. has perfected arrangements 
for their eleventh annual regatta to be held on 
Wednesday and Thursday, July 13 and 14. A 
long list of prizes was arranged, consisting of 
cups and purses. It is announced that July 13 
will be devoted to sailboats and July 14 to 
motor craft. It is thought many craft will enter 
from New Orleans and Mobile if the weather 
permits. It has been announced that the fast 
cabin sloop Cricket will enter the regatta at 
Biloxi July 13 and 14. This boat was recently 
purchased from J. A. Rawlins by J. A. Hagan, 
of Mobile. Mr. Rawlins paid over $5,000 for 
Cricket, and the boat defeated every fast sail¬ 
ing craft in the Southern Gulf waters. This 
craft was soon ruled out and put in a class by 
herself, and then it was when Mr. Rawlins re¬ 
tired her three years ago at West End in this 
city. Cricket was designed and built by Burgess 
& .Packard. 
Spanish Sonder Boats Coming. 
The three Spanish Sonder boats that are to 
meet three representing this country in race 
to be sailed off Marblehead, beginning Aug. 17, 
are expected to arrive at Marblehead Aug. 12. 
This will not give the yachtsmen much time to 
prepare for the races. 
V. L. Doriga, the owner of one of the Spanish 
boats selected, saw active service for Spain in 
the Cuban war in 1898. The boats, together 
with their owners, are: Chonta, owned by Jose 
Arana, Vice-President of the Club Maritimo of 
Bilbao; Papoose, owned by Messrs. Echeguren 
and Iberra of the Real Club Nautico de San 
Sebastian; Mosquito II., owned by Victoriano 
L. Doriga of the Real Club de Regatas of 
Santander.

Ilys Wins Race from Atlantic City. 
Commodore J. G. Naefie Whitaker’s motor 
boat, Ilys, won the race from Atlantic City to 
the Atlantic Y. C. at Sea Gate on July 14. 
The race was for a cup offered by Captain 
Morton Wistar Smith, and there were four 
starters. The start was made at 8:15 o’clock 
under ideal conditions for motor boat racing. 
The four entries were Commodore J. G. 
Naefie Whitaker’s Ilys, a well known contestant 
in ocean races, having not long since completed 
the race to Havana ayid back; Larkspur, owned 
by Capt. J. A. Lucy, of the Yachtsmen’s Club; 
Caroline, owned by Capt. M. Frank Dennis, of 
the Brooklyn Y. C., and Mary C., owned by 
Capt. Martin McWilliams, of the Sea Island 
Y. C. 
At the start Larkspur was first to get across 
the line. Her actual time was 8:16:43. A big 
crowd had gathered on the pier to witness the 
start, and they cheered loudly as the yachts 
went off on their journey. Ilys followed Lark¬ 
spur and was timed at 8:17:17. Commodore 
Whitaker was at the wheel. Caroline was next 
at 8:19:55, and Mary C. crossed at 8:20:07. 
Ilys at once headed out into deep water and 
took the offshore course, Commodore Whitaker 
figuring that he would get less current offshore 
than if he kept close to the land. The others 
followed up the coast, keeping near the shore. 
Ilys at once began to draw away from the 
others and Larkspur was left behind by the 
three hugging the shore. So they kept going all 
day. Ilys, off shore and steadily increasing her 
lead; Mary C. and Caroline keeping close to¬ 
gether and Larkspur last. 
It was about 6 o’clock when the first of the 
racers was sighted at Sea Gate. It soon proved 
to be Ilys, and she was going steadily along at 
an 8-knot clip. That is her speed, and she is 
a most consistent performer. She turned into 
the harbor at the Hook, out across toward Sea 
Gate, and turning by Norton’s Point, crossed 
the line at 6:17:23. She had taken ioh. 2111. 33s. 
to make the eighty nautical miles. 
Mary C. and Caroline raced very closely all 
the way. It was a few minutes before 7 o’clock 
when they were sighted nearing Norton’s Point, 
and Mary C. crossed the line at 7:01:55, and 
Caroline at 7:02:04. Larkspur finished at 10:10. 
The visiting yachtsmen were soon a'shore, 
where they were welcomed by Commodore 
Sweeny and were later entertained at dinner. 
It was one of the best dinners of the season and 
covers wete laid for 300.

Motor Boats at Bar Harbor. 
A series of motor boat races has been 
arranged between three of the fast craft at Bar 
Harbor. These power boats, which have 
just arrived there, are from the yards of the 
Reliance Boat Co., of New York. They are 
sister craft, being alike to the minutest detail, 
and the owners drew lots for them. The boats 
are 6o feet long, 7 feet beam, and have two 8o- 
liorsepower Mercury engines. They have a 
guaranteed speed of at least 24 knots. These 
boats, which are named Pampero, Romp and 
Scallywag, are owned respectively by Clement 
B. Newbold, Edgar Scott and John Kersley 
Mitchell, of Philadelphia, who are to be at the 
helms this summer. In addition to these craft, 
William F. Cochran, of Baltimore and Yonkers, 
N. Y., is to have at Bar Harbor this summer 
what is confidently expected to be the fastest 
power craft of her size in the Atlantic waters. 
This boat is nearing completion at Lawley’s 
yard, and is designed by C. H. Crane, the de¬ 
signer of Dixie. She is 60 feet in length and 
is to be driven by two 150-horsepower Jensick 
motors, and her guaranteed speed is 33 knots.
