Seawanhtka-Corinthian Y. C. 
The Seawanhaka-Corinthian Y. C. had two 
days’ racing on the Sound last week. The first 
day, Friday, Sept. 2, 30-footers and 15-footers 
raced. The wind was east, and the yachts sailed 
over an inside course. In the morning Caprice 
beat Phryne by im. 28s., and in the afternoon 
Phryne won, beating Caprice 15s. and Nepsi 
5m. Flicker won the race for 15-footers, with 
Tamale second. The elapsed times: 
New York 30-footers, morning race, course, 
8 miles—Caprice, 1.42.00; Phryne, 1.43.28. 
New York 30-footers, afternoon race, course 
8 miles—Phryne, 1.51.10; Caprice, 1.51.25; Nepsi, 
1.56.10. 
Seawanhaka 15-footers, course 6 miles— 
Flicker, 1.49.10; Tamale, 1.49.20; Hen, 1.51.59; 
Imp. 1.56.58; Iris, 1.57.00; Grilse, 2.05.59. 
The fall regatta was sailed on Saturday, Sept. 
4. It was a breezy day, the wind coming S. E., 
about twenty miles an hour, and the waters of 
the Sound were quite rough. The start was 
from the black spar buoy off Lloyds’ Neck, and 
the course across the Sound to Greenwich 
Point, then to Long Neck Point, and then 
home. This made it a run on the first leg, a 
broad reach on the second and a beat on the 
third. The smaller yachts sailed over less 
triangles with the same base. There was a 
wait for Istalena because she had not repaired 
the damage caused in Friday’s race of the At¬ 
lantic Y. C., so the 65-footers were started 
last. Istalena got the best of the start, and she 
finished the first round with a lead of 39s. over 
Aurora, and Winsome was 35s. further astern. 
On the second round, Istalena set her spinnaker 
to starboard, while the others set theirs to port. 
This mistake cost Istalena the race, and Win¬ 
some succeeded in weathering Aurora on the 
last leg and won by 41s. 
Shimna having no competitor, sailed against 
Adventuress, allowing that yacht 6m. 45s., and 
she won by 29s. In the regular class, Ironde- 
quoit won.. She got lots of time* from Adven¬ 
turess and was onlv ns. behind that yacht at 
the finish. Cara Mia and Windward raced in 
the P Class, and Cara Mia finished first, but was 
protested. The elapsed times in the different 
classes follow: 
Waterways League Championship. 
Eleven boats took part in the Jamaica Bay 
championship race of the Waterway League 
last Saturday. The race was managed by the 
Belle Harbor Y. C. The course was 11 miles 
in length. D. Van Wicklen’s sloop Cornelia 
led all over the course, but on corrected time 
she was beaten by W. D. Hewlett’s Ariel. The 
elapsed times were: 
Cornelia, 1.51.55; Ariel, 2.05.05; Mavourneen, 
2.05.30; Elvira, 2.09.50; Kittiwake, 2.10.55; High¬ 
ball, 2.12.10; Leaf, 2.13.50; Uno, 2.07.00; Coot 
and Perrywinkle did not finish; Lady Lou was 
disabled. 
Bensonhurst Y. C. 
Tiie tenth championship race of the Graves¬ 
end Bay Association was sailed under the 
auspices of the Bensonhurst Y. C. last Satur¬ 
day. The wind was S. and fresh, and the course 
selected gave much reaching and little windward 
work. The Bellport one-design class sailed, and 
Miladi, owned by W. D. Walton, finished first. 
Grayjacket won the race for Q boats, and Drena 
finished first in the S Class. The elapsed times:

Cadillac Wins Gold Cup. 
New Orleans, Aug. 27. —Editor Forest and 
Stream: At the closing regatta of the season 
held at West End under the direction of the 
Southern Y. C. Saturday, the gold challenge 
perpetual cup and $50 were won by Cadillac and 
the Tranchina Cup was captured by Seawan¬ 
haka. Cadillac easily defeated Chewink III and 
Hiawatha. The time made by the craft was 
slow on account of the lack of a breeze. A 
large crowd witnessed the contest. The two 
winners outclassed their opponents. 
F. G. G. 
The 31-raters have finished their season’s rac¬ 
ing in Eastern waters, and the Boston Globe 
has published a summary of their records. 
The principal trophy for which these boats 
race is the Sir Thomas Lipton cup, which must 
be won by the same owner three times before 
the final ownership is settled. Last season 
John B. Fallon’s Timandra won the first leg 
for this cup, and this season the Amoret, owned 
by C. B. and H. S. Wheelock, is the chanipion 
of the class. 
Amoret also wins the class championship of 
the Corinthian Y. C. The other two champion¬ 
ships, that of the Boston Y. C. and) the Yacht 
Racing Association of Massachusetts, go to 
George Lee’s Mavourneen. 
Both of these boats are of this year’s build 
and were designed by Geo. Owen, and with 
Timandra, Wianno and Onda, have had as good 
racing as has been seen for many a season in 
Massachusetts Bay. Amoret and Mavourneen 
were built from the same molds, only with 
the spacing between them different for each 
boat. 
In this way Amoret is not only longer on 
deck, but also on the waterline, which is 
thought by many yachtsmen to be the reason 
that the Wheelock boat has shown such speed 
in every kind of a breeze. 
In the season’s racing. Mavourneen and 
Amoret have been close in breezes from a light 
drift to a wholesail, but in a good stiff blow the 
greater length and weight of Amoret has told. 
In light breezes last year’s champion, Timandra, 
has given the new boats all they wanted to do 
in keeping.her astern. 
Arthur W. Stevens’ Wianno, which has 
started in the greatest number of races, also 
has put up a good stiff argument against the 
new boats and has proven in just her conditions 
unbeatable. 
Twenty-five races have been given this season 
San Francisco, Cal., Aug. 19. — Editor Forest 
and Stream: Yachting on San Francisco Bay has 
been splendid during the past few weeks on ac¬ 
count of the fine weather that has been experi¬ 
enced and the strong breezes that have pre¬ 
vailed. On August 14th a number of clubs were 
holding races on the Bay and more sailing craft 
was in evidence than has been the case in a 
long time past. The San Francisco Yacht Club 
cruised to Vallejo on Saturday afternoon and 
evening and the following day a handicap race 
was held from the Navy Yard City to Sausalito. 
This race was won by Commodore J. R. Flan- 
ify’s schooner Martha, with the Monsoon sec¬ 
ond. The former boat has a handicap of twenty 
minutes, the latter being a scratch boat and the 
one which made the fastest time on the run 
down the Bay. The Challenger, another scratch 
boat, finished third, but lost place to the Cap¬ 
rice, which has a time allowance of ten min¬ 
utes. In the Class A division the Amigo was 
a rather easy winner, with the Vixen second 
and Phoenicia third. The regatta committee 
of this club handled the race, this consisting of 
Harry W. Goodall, Lawrence T. Wagner and 
P. J. Fay. 
The California Yacht Club was out in full 
force on August 14th, the race for the Wallace 
trophy being the main attraction. Mortimer G. 
Smith’s smart little sloop Ruby, which won 
distinction in the Santa Cruz race, was picked 
as a winner and did not disappoint her follow¬ 
ers and won by nineteen and a half minutes cor¬ 
rected time. All of the yachts in the club were 
eligible for this race, but only the Ruby. Mary¬ 
land G., Tigress, Belle, Secret, Valkyrie and 
Fleetwing competed. Maryland G. made the 
best time for the course, but the handicap al¬ 
lowed the Ruby won the race for the latter. 
The race was in charge of Fred G. Booth, Au¬ 
gust R. F. Brandes and D. M. McRae. The 
contest for this cup was won last season by the
