FOREST AND STREAM. 
[Aug. 20, 1910. 
Spanish Senders Here. 
For the first time in yachting history in this 
country the red and yellow flag of Spain is to 
he seen flying from the staffs of three yachts 
of the Sonder type, which have been brought 
here by their owners to race against three 
representatives of this country. Spain has not 
long been interested keenly in yachting, but 
King Alfonso is an enthusiast. He owns small 
craft which have raced at San Sebastian and at 
Santander, and a 19-metre yacht which he has 
raced at Cowes. Only recently he has been 
sailing with Sir Thomas Lipton on the Sham¬ 
rock, and was on board that yacht last week 
when it lost its topmast. 
Sonder boats have been popular in Spain for 
some years, and when the Americans last went 
to Kiel to race they accepted an invitation from 
the Spanish to visit San Sebastian and race 
there, and the matches now in progress were 
arranged then. The three Spanish yachts, their 
owners and crews arrived here last week and 
went at once to Marblehead. Their yachts 
have attracted much attention naturally. They 
differ from the American type, being rather lean 
forward with sharp snubbed bows and deep 
sections amidships. Some were disposed to 
think that they would be easily beaten by the 
American craft, but when they were seen sail¬ 
ing, opinions changed, and it is conceded that 
the match will be a good one. 
The visitors are thoroughly good sportsmen. 
They do' not think they have much chance of 
success, but say they have come to try what 
they can do and to learn, and even if they are 
beaten they will have learned something, and 
if they win they will have taught a lesson. 
Whichever way the races go, they will have 
done much to help cement the good feeling 
which now prevails between the two countries, 
and such races as these do much not only for 
the sport of yachting, but to create friendships 
which last long after the yacht races are for¬ 
gotten. 
The Eastern Y. C„ under whose auspices the 
races are sailed, entertained the visiting yachts¬ 
men at dinner in the club house at Marblehead 
last Saturday night. Covers were laid for 
seventy-five. Commodore F. Lewis Clark pre¬ 
sided. Among those present were Don Juan 
Piano y Gayanos. the Spanish Minister, the 
owners and crews of the three yachts, Lieut. 
R. P. Hilliard, U. S. N.. ex-Govenor Curtis 
Guild. Jr.. Fleet Captain Saben B. Sanger, F. 
C. Fletcher, Guy Loring, Henry Howard, 
Stephen W. Sleeper, George H. Thorburn 
(Chairman of the Board of Selectmen, Marble¬ 
head), W. Starling Burgess. Rear-Commodore 
Herbert W. Sears, Henry Taggart, Henry A. 
Morss, Huntington Sawtelle, William I. Carle- 
ton. C. P. Curtis. George T. McKay. Daniel D. 
Morse. Charles Francis Adams 2d, Gordon 
Abbott, Edgar Crocker, S. J. Mixter and Col. 
William M. Bunting. 
Ex-Governor Guild addressed the visitors in 
Spanish. Mr. Guild's speech was responded to 
by Victoriano Lopez Doriga. of the Mosquito 
II.. of the Real Club of Santander. Mr. 
Doriga expressed the appreciation of his fellow 
yachtsmen for the kindly greetings which had 
been expressed. 
Secretary Eduardo Ubao. of the Spanish 
Federation of Yacht Clubs, also replied in Eng¬ 
lish to Mr. Guild's speech, reiterating the senti¬ 
ments expressed by Mr. Doriga and formally 
thanked the American yachtsmen for their,kind 
invitation to race here. 
Sonder boats are built to a rule which re¬ 
quires that the waterline length, beam and draft 
shall not exceed in total 32 rating,and they spread 
550 square feet of canvas. Their cost is limited 
to $2,400 on this side of the Atlantic and less 
on the other side. Each is allowed two suits of 
sails, and while the races are in progress they 
must not be hauled out for cleaning unless an 
accident requires this. 
The three challengers are: Mosquito II.. 
owned by Victoriano L. Doriga, of the Real 
Club de Regatas of Santander, and president 
of the Federation of Yacht Clubs; Papoose, 
owned by Antonia Echeguren, president of the 
Real Club Nautico of San Sebastian, and 
Chonta, owned by Luis de Arana of the Real 
Sporting Club. The Mosquito will be manned 
by Manuel Corral as skipper, Victoriano Lopez 
Doriga and Jose de la Quintana as crew. She 
was designed by V. Doriga and built by Tallery 
San Martin at Santander. The crew of Papoose 
is D. Javier de la Pena, skipper, and Antonia 
de Echeguren and F. Valle. Papoose was de¬ 
signed by Leon Conasco and built by Astilleros 
Kanpard at Pasages. The crew of Chonta is 
Luis de Arana, skipper; Juan de Zabala, secre¬ 
tary of the Sporting Club at Bilboa, and Edu¬ 
ardo Astigarraga. She was designed by Joan- 
quin Ortiz de la Torre and built by Astilleron 
del Nervion at Bilboa. 
Last week several races were sailed off 
Marblehead, in which seventeen American-built 
Sonders took part for the purpose of selecting 
the three defenders to represent this country. 
The races were most exhaustive and the yachts 
were tried under all conditions. The commit¬ 
tee finally selected Charles Francis Adams 2d's 
Harpoon, C. H. W. Foster’s Beaver and Guy 
Loring’s Cima. Harpoon has been the most 
successful yacht of this class this year. She 
started winning with her first race, and has 
been successful in all sorts of weathers. She 
won the Quincy cup in a series of races. She 
was built from designs by E. A. Boardman by 
Lawley, and is sailed by her owner, with Arthur 
Adams and T. Nelson Perkins as crew. Beaver 
was designed by W. Starling Burgess and is 
really an improved Wolf, one of the boats to 
meet the Germans last year. Cima was built by 
Woods at City Island from designs by Charles 
D. Mower, who designed Joyette, the winner of 
last year’s series.

Brooklyn Y. C. 
The seventh race to count in the champion¬ 
ship series of Gravesend Bay was sailed last 
Saturday afternoon under the auspices of the

interesting. Spider rather astonished every one 
by easily winning in her class with Florence 
second. There were six starters in the S Class, 
and Blue Bill won with M. and F. second.

Boston 
Y. C. 
The Boston Y. C. had tlmee days' racing off 
Hull last week, which attracted quite a large 
fleet of yachts. The weather conditions were 
light winds and smooth sens, and Mavourneen 
twice defeated Wianno during the series. The 
best race was sailed last Saturday, when the 
wind was light to moderate from S. W.. so that 
in each class the contest was good. Mavour¬ 
neen led Wianno, her only competitor, by 2m. 
23s. at the finish. Dorchen II. was the winner 
of the 18-footer race, with Answer close astern.

The morning race, a re-sail of Friday's con¬ 
test, which was unfinished, was held in a light 
and baffling breeze that at times left some of 
the yachts completely becalmed. The summary:
