Mimosa III. WirHout Competitors.—It is re- 
grettable that the races between Mr. S. E. Ver- 
non’s Vivian II., now fitting out at Jacobs’ yard, 
and Mimosa III., Commodore Trenor L. Park, 
will fall through. The failure was caused by Mr. 
Vernon’s desire to sail for the Manhasset Bay 
Cup with an amateur crew, to which Commodore 
Park would not agree.

New York Y. C. MEEetTiINGc.—On May 17 there 
took place the third general meeting of the New 
York Y. C., at which Commodore Cornelius Van- 
derbilt presided. Secretary Cormack announced 
that Sir Thomas Lipton had not been heard from 
respecting a challenge for the America’s Cup.

A CHAMPIONSHIP RACE? 
THE promising conditions that will stamp the 
yachting season of 1906 as an interesting and 
memorable one in the annals of the sport have 
already been referred to. 
In the vicinity of New York a class which last 
year attracted much attention and furnished good 
sport, was the Gravesend Bay Q class of 22-foot- 
ers. These were boats by several designers, and 
rated under the New York Y. C. universal rule. 
The five boats which constituted the class, divided 
the honors in the races during the summer, and 
now three new Q boats are on their way to their 
anchorages at Gravesend. 
During the past winter Sir Thomas Lipton 
offered a cup, to be raced for in Massachusetts 
Bay, the object being to encourage the racing of 
22-footers under the universal rule, which is the 
same rule as obtains for class Q in Gravesend. 
In Boston but one new boat has been built, but 
there are a number of boats that are eligible and 
will be raced. A condition on which the cup was 
offered is that an owner winning the trophy in 
two consecutive years, not necessarily with the 
same boat, is to become its absolute owner. 
It appears desirable to call special attention to 
this matter as one that possesses interesting 
possibilities, tending to revive a healthy rivalry 
between the yachtsmen of Boston and New York 
—a rivalry which, with two notable exceptions, 
has languished for some years. In the invasion 
by Mimosa and Doris, respectively of Boston and 
New York waters, last year there was not de- 
veloped the interest which might have been ex- 
pected, as the boats in question did not necessarily 
meet yachts designed under the new rating rule. 
A meeting of the champion boats of the Massa- 
chusetts Bay Q class and the Gravesend Bay Q 
class at some neutral point, as Newport, late in 
the fall would furnish the climax to a series of 
races that would be but second to any such event 
on our Eastern seaboard. There are now three 
months in which a programme may be arranged 
for the meeting of the champions of the Boston 
and New York Q class. ; 
Such a culmination, to what promises to be a 
good season for this particular class, will tempt 
able and competent men to arrange and to bring 
to a successful issue a championship race. Such 
a championship will not alone promote and main- 
tain agreeable relations between the most import- 
ant communities of racing yachtsmen, but will 
also accord to the new rating rule an attention 
which will.tend to demonstrate its entire desir- 
ability. This will remove from yacht building a 
shadow which has been but too prominent of late 
years. 
MopELS OF THE ‘THREE SHAMROCKS.—The 
models of the Shamrocks, which Sir Thomas 
Lipton is sending to the Model Committee of the 
New York Y. C. for placing in the model collec- 
tion, are now on exhibition at the Royal Thames 
Y. C. in London. The boats are beautiful speci- 
mens of the model-maker’s art, and it is reported 
have cost in the neighborhood of $20,000.
