[July 30, 1910. 
Westward’s Good Racing. 
Westward, Alexander S. Cochrane’s schoon¬ 
er, did very well in her races at Kiel, and now 
she is preparing for a campaign in British 
waters, when she will meet the British schooner 
Cicely. The Field, in a report about the racing 
at Kiel, says: 
“The chief feature of the racing was the ex¬ 
traordinary speed of the American schooner 
Westward, which won four consecutive races, in 
one case coming in an hour ahead of the second 
boat. She was, however, beaten by i3y 2 m. by 
Meteor in the gale of June 30, finishing last of 
the four. She is a grand vessel and far ahead 
of any schooner which has been seen in Euro¬ 
pean waters. It will be interesting to compare 
her speed with that of our 23-meter cutters 
when she races at Cowes, as her rating is not 
much greater. Westward’s record is four firsts 
and one fourth prize; Meteor, one first and two 
seconds; Germania, three seconds, and Ham¬ 
burg, two thirds, Nordstern failing to take a 
prize. 
“The times in the races were: 
“June 25.—Westward, 8:57:37; Meteor, 
10:00:25; Germania, 10:31:47; Hamburg, 
10:09:30. 
“June 27.—Westward, 3:16:31; Germania, 
3:22:38; Meteor, 3:23:56; Hamburg withdrew. 
“June 29.—Westward, 4:27:17; Germania, 
4:37:11; Hamburg, 4:45:10; Meteor, 4:48:54; 
Nordstern, 4:59:03. 
June 30.—Meteor, 3:43:09; Germania, 3:49:33; 
Hamburg, 3:51:52; Westward, 3:56:41. 
“The last race was from Eckernforde to Kiel 
in a very strong wind, when the German schoon¬ 
ers overpowered Westward.”

race for Sonders, Demon was the winner. Wolf, 
Lady, Demon, Beaver, Minette and Seehund 
was the order at the start, but later a shift in

sailed in a wholesail breeze from S. W. It was 
a run to Nyes Ledge. All made a good start, 
except Helen, and the yachts held together until 
off Blake’s Point, where Picotte and Bessie II. 
put out into the bay and the others held inshore, 
gaining a big advantage. In passing Angelica 
Point, Toboggan went inside the buoy instead 
of outside. Toboggan finished 3m. ahead of

were selected on the percentages they had 
scored in the races. The three chosen are 
Porter Feary’s Hugi, Harvey J. Flint’s Bat and 
B. C. Hirst, Jr.’s Arrow. Their records for

Interbay Catboat Races. 
The Narragansett Bay Association has 
selected the catboats Bother, owned by James 
Foster and John Peck, and Ina, owned by Earl 
Kettlety, as its representatives in the interbay 
catboat races. Ina won the cup last year on 
Barnegat Bay, and in the eliminating trials, 
which have been sailed this season, the two 
boats selected have done well. These yachts 
and Trouble sailed for points, and eight races 
were sailed. Bother in eight starts scored 566.7 
points, or 70.9 per cent.; Ina in seven starts 
scored 466.7 points, or 66.6 per cent., and 
Trouble in eight starts scored 416.7 points, or 
52.1 per cent. 
The Massachusetts Association has selected 
Iris, owned by Frank F. Crane, and Dolly III., 
owned by W. W. Arnold. Dolly III. is a new 
boat, and is of the type that the Cape Catboat 
Association has tried to foster. She is big, 
roomy, able and fast. Iris is twenty-two years 
old and is still the fastest catboat in eastern 
waters. 
The two representatives of the Barnegat Bay 
Association will be Virginia, owned by George 
Norris, and Dorothy. Virginia is a Mower-de¬ 
signed boat, and is 26 feet over all. 
The races will be sailed race week on Narra¬ 
gansett Bay and different clubs manage the 
races. The schedule is: Monday, , Aug. 15, 
Edgewood Y. C.; Tuesday, Aug. . 16, Rhode 
Island Y. C.; Thursday, Aug. 18, Fall River Y.
