Mr. Adams responded with a few words of 
thanks. „ , „ 
The Governor Draper Cup won by heaver 
was presented to C. H. W. Foster at a dinner 
served in the Eastern Y. C. house on Monday, 
August 23. Commodore F. Lewis Clark pre¬ 
sided. Governor Draper was unable to be pres¬ 
ent, but among the guests were Secretary of 
the Navy George von L. Meyer, Don Juan 
Riano y Gayangos, the Spanish Minister, and 
Lieutenant Governor Louis A. Frothingham, 
who made the presentation. Lieutenant Gover¬ 
nor Frothingham said it was easy to be a good 
winner, but, though difficult, the Spaniards had 
proved themselves good losers. 
Mr. Foster, in responding, paid a compli¬ 
ment to the designer of the Beaver, W. Starling- 
Burgess. Senor Riano, for the visitors, said: 
“It has been particularly gratifying to me to 
have found myself by the side of my compatri¬ 
ots, the visiting yachstmen, during the races, 
and to have been a witness of the cordial spirit 
with which the Eastern Y. C., the town and se¬ 
lectmen of Marblehead, and everyone with 
whom they have come in contact since landing 
in America, have greeted the visitors. 
“Every hospitality and courtesy has been 
shown. All this has been deeply appreciated, 
and the Spanish yachtsmen will carry home an 
everlasting remembrance of the kindness which 
is' too deep to express in words. 
“I consider that these regattas have done a 
great deal toward promoting and increasing 
the friendship and cordial relations between the 
two countries, as they have afforded the occa¬ 
sion of establishing close personal relations, 
which have led to mutual understanding and 
lines of thought. 
“I think that the Eastern Y. C. and the 
Spanish Federation of Yacht Clubs have much 
to be proud of in bringing the United States 
and Spain closer together, and I trust that the 
American-Spanish regatta will be an established 
fixture and that the American yachtsmen will 
give us an opportunity to welcome them again 
and to return the hospitality so cordially ex¬ 
tended here. 
“Yacht racing is comparatively new in Spain, 
but I think that, considering the few years 
that have passed since it was taken up, a great 
deal has been accomplished in a modest way 
and we have worked hard toward developing it. 
“I am sure it has come to stay, and for this 
we are indebted to the interest and increasing 
efforts of our king, the keenest of sportsmen, 
whether on water or on land. And he may well 
be proud of the spirit with which his ideas and 
suggestions have been taken up and followed. 
“Our Spanish yachtsmen are now in close 
touch with several countries where international 
regattas are held, and I am sure that this visit 
to the United States will not only be profitable 
to the men, but to the countries as well. 
“As far as the races are concerned, I may 
say that our admiration of the Americans’ 
splendid boats and the way they have been 
sailed knows no bounds and we congratulate 
you upon your victory. We consider it an 
honor to have had the privilege of competing 
against you, and we are proud of our defeat.” 
Arrow Wins Close Race. 
On Narrangansett Bay the 18-foot knock¬ 
abouts have been furnishing the best sport this 
season and B. C. Hirst, Jr.’s Arrow, Walter 
Wood’s Question, Porter Fearey’s Hugi, H. J. 
Flint’s Bat and A. C. Mair’s Coyote have been 
in close competition in nearly every regatta 
sailed. _ These boats are sailed for the cham¬ 
pionship and the difference in points so far is 
very slight. Last Saturday these five took part 
in the race of the Rhode Island Y. C. and Ar¬ 
row won, beating Question 2 minutes 14 sec¬ 
onds, Hugi was third, beaten by 1 second, Bat 
fourth, 1 minute 2 seconds astern of Hugi, and 
Coyote was last, 3 seconds behind Bat. Just 
3 minutes 20 seconds separated the five at the 
finish.

FOREST AND STREAM. 
Yachting on the West Coast. 
San Francisco, Cal., Aug. 15 .—Editor Forest 
and Stream: The yacht race from San Fran¬ 
cisco to Santa Cruz, held a short time ago 
under the auspices of the Corinthian Y. C., was 
one of the most successful races held here in 
some seasons, and there is no doubt but that 
from now on this race will prove to be a highly 
popular yearly event. When the entries for 
this event were closed, it was found by Chair¬ 
man William A. Barlage, of the regatta-com¬ 
mittee of this club, that twenty-one yachts were 
formally entered for the event. This list in¬ 
cluded the schooners Aggie, Lady Ada, Chispa, 
White Wings and Marion, the yawls Floric and 
Olga and the sloops Queen, Monsoon, Presto, 
Yankee, Ariel, Merry Widow, Albert, Fulton 
G., Meteor, Folly, Harpoon, Manuwai, Mary¬ 
land G. and Starlight. The race was admirably 
handled and was made a safe one through the 
action of the Government in sending the 
revenue cutter McCulloch as an escort. Cap¬ 
tain Daniels planned the manner of his convoy 
in a way very* pleasing to the yachtsmen, 
and through the wireless equipment on his 
vessel, was enabled to keep both San Francisco 
and Santa Cruz in touch with every move of 
the race. A set of signals'was arranged for 
both day and night, and a definite course laid 
out for the racers. The McCulloch did not 
enter Santa Cruz Bay until every one of the 
yachts had completed the trip and remained 
there until the time set for the homeward trip. 
The race down the coast was not a fast one, 
there being but a very light breeze with heavy 
swells running, but all the boats managed to 
make the run in good shape. The sloop Mon¬ 
soon, owned by F. G. Phillips, was the winner 
of the event, and incidentally scored .three vic¬ 
tories in one, for not only did she arrive first 
at Santa Cruz, but made the best corrected time 
and won its class prize. The nearest rival to 
Monsoon was Fulton G., with Alert, Presto and 
Yankee four or five miles astern. At Santa 
Cruz the yachtsmen found great preparations 
made for their arrival, and during the entire 
week’s stay there was not a dull moment. At 
the first race held in Santa Cruz Bay, Monsoon 
again showed her heels to the fleet, and in the 
light breeze that prevailed won handily, with 
sloop Meteor second and yawl Olga third. In 
the schooner race, which was a separate event, 
Aggie won the first place. In the race down 
the coast, Marion and Aggie finished within 
ten minutes of each other, corrected time. In 
the race held on the bay July 27, Harpoon, with 
a 15m. handicap, finished the 10-mile course 
first, her time being 1.32.25. Yankee finished 
second in 1.34.30, and Merry Widow, third, just 
8s. slower. This race was quite an exciting 
one, and nine out of fourteen boats crossed the 
finishing line within ten minutes. The schooner 
race over this course was won by Marion. Dur¬ 
ing the week’s stay the visiting tars were taken 
to see the big trees, where a barbecue was 
served and trips were taken to all the nearby 
sights of interest. A pleasing feature of the 
week was an informal luncheon given for Cap¬ 
tain Daniels and the officers of the revenue 
cutter by the Corinthian Club. An impressive 
feature of the banquet was the silent toast to 
the late Fulton G. Berry, who originated this 
race and who for years was such a power for 
good in local yachting circles. 
The trans-Pacific yacht race was won this 
year by Hawaii, which has tried three times to 
achieve this honor. The race across the Pacific 
was uneventful and was made in 14 days 3 hours 
23 minutes and 30 seconds, as compared with 
the record of Lurline of 12 days and 5 hours. 
Sweetheart, of the South Coast Y. C., finished 
second, with Mollilou, of the Aeolian Y. C., 
third. The arrival of the winning, craft was 
witnessed by thousands of enthusiastic islanders 
and she came to' her anchorage surrounded by 
a small fleet of gaily decked pleasure craft. 
The failure of one of the yachts which had been 
scheduled to start to undertake the trip took 
away much of the interest in the event. It is 
not improbable that future events of this kind 
will be changed, to allow the starting point to 
381 
be at San Francisco, as was originally intended. 
The San Rafael Y. C. has been formed at San 
Rafael, Cal., with a charter roll of twenty-three 
members. A committee of three has been 
named to draft a constitution and by-laws, this 
committee consisting of James W. Keys, H. D. 
Nash and H. H. Fuller. A committee on mem¬ 
bership was also named, this consisting of W. 
Butterworth, George Martin and G. F. Lewis. 
County Surveyor George L. Richardson, H. D. 
Nash and George Imbry were appointed to de¬ 
sign a club pennant. District-Attorney Thomas 
P. Boyd was unanimously elected Commodore 
for the first term. Plans are now being per¬ 
fected for raising money for securing a site for 
a club house and for making improvements 
that will be necessary. Those who signed the 
charter roll of the new club were Thomas P. 
Boyd, John M. Foge, Frank S. Holland, James 
W. Keys, George L. Richardson, H. H. Fuller, 
D. W. Martin, H. D. Nash, Leon F. Douglas, 
T. H. Nicholas, J. Faggiano, George Imbry, 
W. T. Butterworth, George F. Lewis, Silvio H. 
Cheda, Harry Parker, Jens Stangland, Ralph 
Prescott, J. N. Parker, Russell McGee, George 
D. Martin, Ray H. Clark, Ernest Jackson and 
John H. Clark. 
The Sequoia Y. C., of Eureka, Cal., has had 
one of the most successful seasons ever experi¬ 
enced on Humboldt Bay, and several new boats 
are being planned, so that yachting there is a 
coming sport. This club is planning to give a 
real old-fashioned circus some time this fall. 
From the Northwest comes the news that 
there is great activity in yachting circled. Al¬ 
ready plans are being made for the big aquatic 
carnival to be held at Victoria, B. C., in 1911. 
Preparations are being made there for the con¬ 
struction of several new yachts, and a contest 
for the Alexandra cup will be a feature of the 
meet. In Seattle there is also great enthusiasm 
being shown., and next year promises to be an 
unusually active one. 
New Rochelle Y. C. 
The annual regatta of the New Rochelle Y. C. 
was sailed last Saturday in a fresh N. E. wind 
at the start, which moderated towards the finish. 
The fleet was a large one. Gardenia, being
