Eastern Y achts Successes. 
Eastern yachtsmen are particularly pleased 
with the results of their yachts in the past sea¬ 
son’s races, and the result of the inter-city 
contest with the 31-raters has elated them more 
than all their other successes. The Boston 
Herald says great things are expected of the 
31-raters, popularly known as Class P, in next 
season’s events. These boats last summer 
furnished royal sport and the handsome, speedy 
yachts are bound to increase in numbers. 
Rivalry between New York and Boston will 
grow more keen. The Massachusetts boats 
Amoret, Mavourneen and Timandra constitute 
the husky trio that a few days ago won honors 
from Cara Mia, Mimosa III. and Windward in 
a series sailed off Sea Gate in about every con¬ 
dition of weather imaginable. Their honors are 
by no means empty, and George Owen, who 
designed the craft represented in local waters, 
is coming in for his share of laudation in the 
general congratulation for skippers and crews 
of the winning boats. 
Now that the racing is finished and there has 
come a time when yachtsmen can meditate over 
past events it develops that Designer Owen is 
likely to have two more opportunities to pre¬ 
pare lines for the class. H. L. Bowden, who 
has been out of the game a number of seasons, 
is considering a return with a 31-rater from 
Owen’s board, and Leo. Z. Herzog, of Brook¬ 
lyn, is mentioned as likely to affiliate with Class 
P in an Owen design, which will be raced in 
New York waters. 
Gossip has it that A. C. Jones, owner of the 
Nutmeg, one of the smallest and most able of 
the local ocean racers and a craft that seldom 
misses a start in regattas where she. has a 
class, may purchase the 31-rater Windward, 
owned by R. A. Monks, for use in Boston and 
vicinity. Mr. Jones is pretty thoroughly in 
love with the black hulled, snub nosed Nutmeg, 
with which he has won dozens of trophies, but 
the Class P fever seems to have inoculated him 
good and hard. 
Next season the inter-city races between 
teams of 31-raters representing Boston and 
New York will be sailed off Marblehead, and 
this championship series will probably be given 
under the auspices of the Corinthian Y. C., 
perhaps during the midsummer events, through 
which that club has won fame. The Class P 
boats are able cruisers and racing is by no 
means their only qualification of merit. On an 
over all length of 42 feet, with 10 feet beam and 
7 feet draft, they have roomy accommodations 
and can go comfortably in the severest weather. 
Amoret has cruised since last May from Bar 
Harbor to New York, with lesser trips of con¬ 
siderable mileage to her credit. The Mavour¬ 
neen and Timandra, too, are much traveled 
and are seldom at moorings for any consider¬ 
able length of time during the sailing season. 
Quincy Y. C. Dinner. 
The members of the Quincy Y. C. dined to¬ 
gether on Thursday, to celebrate their vic¬ 
tories of the past season. The yachts in the 
club have won six cups and three championship 
pennants. These trophies, according to the 
Boston Globe, represent not only races in 
Massachusetts waters, but races sailed south of 
the cape. The most important of the trophies 
won by members of the club is the President 
Taft cup, the chief prize of the Spanish-Amer- 
ican match, which was taken by Harpoon, 
Charles Francis Adams 2d’s Sonder racer. Mr. 
Adams did his first boat sailing off Hough’s 
Neck and all his early racing was with Quincy 
boats, so that he has great regard for the club. 
This loyal spirit to the Quincy Y. C. has 
been shown best in the Quincy cup series. 
Ever since the deed of gift was changed to allow 
Sonder class boats to compete for the trophy 
he has had a racer in the series each year as 
the representative of the Quincy Y. C. in 1908 
he won the trophy with Manchester II. The 
following year, with Crooner as defender, his 
boat was not fast enough and the trophy went 
into the keeping of the Boston Y. C. 
Again this season his Harpoon was the chal¬ 
lenger from the club, and with straight wins, 
the cup was brought back once again to the 
Quincy Y. C., so that the Harpoon brings two 
trophies to the* club. 
In the club’s own class, the catboats, every 
trophy and pennant for the year, even the inter¬ 
bay cup, is now in possession of some member 
of the club. 
First and foremost of the catboat trophies 
is the inter-bay cup, which represents the cham¬ 
pion catboats of the country. This cup, which 
was presented by Thomas Fleming Day in 1909, 
was raced for this year on Narragansett Bay. 
The Massachusetts Bay Catboat Association 
sent to this match F. F. Crane’s Iris, and W. 
W. Arnold’s Dolly III., both enrolled in the 
Quincy Y. C. 
These two boats were very successful against 
the two catboats of Narragansett Bay and the 
one from Barnegat Bay, for of the five races 
sailed all except one was won by either the 
Dolly III. or Iris. This gave the cup for 1911 
to the Massachusetts association. 
In addition Dolly III. brought back from 
Narragansett Bay the catboat championship 
pennant, and Iris the cup offered by the Edge- 
wood Y. C. for a special race between the visit¬ 
ing catboats. 
The Y. R. A. of M. championship pennant 
for Class D catboats was won this season by 
Dolly III., as well as the Inter-Club Yacht 
Racing Association pennant, while the Cor¬ 
inthian Y. C.’s midsummer series cup was won 
by E. W. Emery’s Mudjekeewis. 
Still another trophy offered by Thomas 
Fleming Day is owned by a member of the 
Quincy Y. C. This is the interstate 18-foot cup. 
This was raced for by teams of three boats, 
representing Massachusetts Bay and Narra¬ 
gansett Bay, the mornings of the midsummer’ 
series of the Corinthian Y. C. 
Dorchen II., owned by Albert W. Finlay, in 
the four races sailed proved to be the best of 
the six, and therefore her owner came into 
possession of the cup. 
This ends the list of trophies that have been 
won by members of the Quincy Y. C. this year, 
and probably marks the greatest racing season 
in the history of the club. 
Yachting on the Pacific. 
San Francisco, Cal., Sept. 20 . —The yacht race 
held on the bay, Sept. 10, under the auspices of 
the Pacific Inter-Club Yachting Association, was 
a decided success and was witnessed by one of 
the greatest crowds that ever watched a yacht¬ 
ing event here, as this was on the closing day 
of the great three days’ Admission Day cele¬ 
bration. and fully 200.000 strangers were visit¬ 
ing San Francisco. Twenty yachts started in the 
big regatta which was the fifteenth annual event 
of this character. Great interest was taken in 
the race from the reason that in addition to the 
regular prizes there were trophies offered by the 
Native Sons. Ideal weather ruled that day, it 
being clear with a fine breeze, making fast time 
possible. In spite of the number of boats rac¬ 
ing. there was but one mishap, a minor one in 
which the Harpoon fouled the Southampton 
stake boat. One of the best performers of the 
day was the Challenger, which won the inter¬ 
club event for 40-foot yachts from Monsoon and 
also captured the Native Sons’ cup for class No. 
1 in the arbitrary handicap. 
To the surprise of many, Fulton G. beat 
Yankee in the 44-foot class and Discovery was- 
beaten by Merry Widow, the latter being in the 
25-foot class. This boat also took second place 
in Class 1 for the Native Sons cup. In the 36- 
foot class Frank Stone’s Presto was an easy 
winner with Alert second. In the 20-foot class 
Moonlight was a winner over Fleur de Lis. 
There was but one entry in the 44-foot class— 
Annie of the San Francisco Club. Most of the 
important races of the season are now over and 
many of the yachts will soon be placed in winter 
moorings. The scheduled program with the local 
clubs will come to an end generally during the 
month of October. 
Winter yacht racing is receiving an impetus 
at Tacoma, Wash., and plans are being made 
for a series of races during January and February, 
the races to be held under the auspices of the 
Tacoma Y. C. Commodore C. R. Claghorn has 
hung up a valuable cup as an incentive to en¬ 
tries. 
Following the Santa Barbara regatta the yawl 
Winsome sailed to Santa Cruz Island and has 
just been taken back to ‘San Pedro by her 
master, Frank Hay. A. P. B. 
Handicap Yacht Race. 
The yachts of the handicap class sailed their 
fifth annual race last Saturday off New Rochelle. 
They raced in the usual divisions, and also- 
sailed all in one class for the officers’ cup for 
the best time over the course. This was won 
by A. G. Hill’s Crescent. The non-winners of 
the season sailed for the handicappers’ prize 
and Tillicum was the winner. Waialua took 
first prize and Naiad second in the second di¬ 
vision. In the third division Psammiad beat 
Chinook. Tillicum II. and Victory were first 
and second in the fourth division. Nimbus III. 
beat Miss Modesty in the fifth division.
