BIG YACHT. RACING. 
So far as the season has shown in the early 
races, the most sanguine forecast of early spring 
“has not been overdrawn. Saturday the feeling 
among the owners seemed to be clearly against 
risking their boats in the bad weather and 
jeopardizing their sails, which, through Weeks 
of careful tuning up, have been gotten in good 
regatta, 3 P. M, 
t 
shape. 
The schooner class will have in the next races 
the entry of Queen, and much will be expected 
of her, though she will have been away from her 
builders but a short time, while the others in the 
class have been put through the stiffest kind of 
tuning subsequent to alterations last. winter. 
That Queen is going to be fast, there is no 
doubt, and as near as may be judged from her 
appearance, she is every inch a racer; she is the 
finest product of ‘the famous Bristol yard, and 
the beauty of her hull above water is supple- 
mented with rigging and deck work that are 
admirable. . 
The news from abroad,-in regard to’a cup 
contest, receives wide circulation in the press, 
and the type of boat’ most often mentioned is 
a schooner, Of late years some very fine vessels 
of this type have been built in England, but 
they followed as a result of a number of Ameri- 
can schooners being sold abroad, and. these have 
revived an interest that had waned. In. sour 
own waters schooners have always been’looked 
with favor as good, handy vessels that 
made good sport in the racing. Whatever 
transpires later on the experience gained in the 
racing of Queen, designed under the interna- 
tional rule; Corona, an ex-cup defender,: and 
Elmina, which represents the old rule; will 
be valuable, and in view of the cup; rumors 
there will be added interest, and the uncer- 
tainty pointed out as to the fate of the

Boston Letter. * 
WITH. THE, SONDER Boats,—It has. been, an- 
nounced that the Sonderklasse boat, building at 
the: Baker. Yacht Basin from designs, of. Mr. .F. 
T. Wood. an. inspector of customs at the port of 
Boston, is for. former. Commodore B..P., Cheney 
and Mr. Charles D., Lanning, of the Boston,Y. C. 
She is expected to ‘be launched the: last, of the 
week. rine 
The boat built at Bristol for Mr. F. G; Macom- 
ber, Jr., started around the Cape last Thursday 
for. Marblehead.: She will be thoroughly tuned 
up by her: owner before she is raced. This boat 
‘ts about thirty-five. feet.over all, and is not ex- 
treme in form. -She will undoubtedly get. good 
handling: ‘ 
Sumatra, owned by Mr. .Francis Skinner, Jr., 
has had weight. added to her keel, with the result 
that she: handles very. much better in strong 
breezes. She has been in the water longer than 
any other boat in the class, but has had _ little 
chance to prove what ‘she can do:m actual racing. 
Most: of her tuning. up: has been in company with 
the 18-foot knockabout Hayseed: Il., owned by 
Mr.-H: L,. Bowden, which has been made to con- 
form to the restrictions of the Sonderklasse. 
Sumatra is probably more conservative, in point 
of dimensions, ‘than any other boat in the class. 
Some believe that the boats of moderate dimen- 
sions will make the best average showing, but the 
majority believe that the extreme boats ‘will be 
fastest. :Sumatra will be favored in the handling 
by being sailed by her dgsiaier, Mr. B. B. Crow- 
ninshield. 
Mr. ‘George Wightman: is - having a boat built 
at Fenton’s:: yard; Mancheste:., from designs of 
Mr, B.. Bse'Crowninshield. His boat will be called 
Bonidrei;: his two. 18- footers having been called 
Bonito: and: Benitwo. 
Lipton: CUP: FOR Creston description of the 
eup offered by Sir Thomas Lipton for competi- 
tion in class Q has been received. ‘The:cup, which 
is one of the largest: ever offered in these waters, 
is 3ft.: 6in. high: and is: valued at. nearly $1,000. 
The stem of the cup is formed by two female 
figures,’ representing Great Britain and America, 
with emblems of: the two countries to distinguish 
them. The body of the cup rests upon a globe, 
on which is a:chased figure of'a yacht under sail, 
the globe resting upon the upraised hands of the 
symbolic figures. ‘Lhe base of the cup and the 
handles-are chased in bay leaves. The cover is 
decorated ‘with four heads, representing the four 
winds, and the whole is surmounted by a figure 
of Vietory, supported by four small figures repre- 
senting sea nymphs. On one side of: the cup is 
a shield surmounted by the British and Ameri- 
can flags, bearing the words: ‘‘The Sir Thomas 
Lipton’: championship. ‘cup for Massachusetts 
Bay, 1906.” Under this shield are the private sig- 
nal ‘of Sir ‘Thomas-:and the flag of the Boston 
enamel. +iOn the reverse’ side is the 
official insignia of the Yacht Racing Association 
of Massachusetts. This is decorated by the same 
arrangement Of: flags ‘as the obverse side. The 
base’is ebony, to which are attached numerous 
silver shields, on which the names of yachts win- 
ning legs for the cup will be inscribed. The 
cup becomes the property of the owner in class 
Q:of the Y. R. A. first winning two champion- 
ships. It is now finished, and will be’ shipped in 
a few days to this country, when it will be ex- 
hibited at the various stations of the Boston Y. C.

Atlantic Y. C. Regatta. 
THE first big event of the season was sailed 
on the Lower Bay, by the yachts sailing in the 
Atlantic Y.-C. regatta. . The course. for: the 
larger vessels was to Southwest Spit and around 
the Scotland Lightship, 26 miles; the smaller 
classes to Southwest Spit, the bell buoy off 
Sandy Hook, 17% miles,:and the Q ‘class to 
Old Orchard, Southwest Spit, 1514 miles.. There 
has prevailed an idea that. the racing of big 
/yachts in the Lower Bay had beén abandoned 
-In the case of:one club, at least, 
it Has; sascit 
was held that the traffic interfered too much. 
However; the promise of the Regatta, Committee 
of the Atlantic Y. C. was well kept, and there 
was a good attendance of fine racing yachts. . 
The racing itself was of an interesting, and 
spectacular kind, the finishes being close.. The 
wind was fluky and uncertain; but seven that 
was not able to spoil the racing. The greatest 
disappointment was in the non-appearance :of 
new boats: whose presence had been: promised. 
' The 7o0-footers sailed an interesting race, and 
the schooners Elmina’ Il. and Corona furnished 
a most exciting finish. The race. of the 27- 
footers was not conclusive in regard to the 
New York one-design boat, Cara Mia, that came 
down from the Sound. In the Q class Joy 
met her first defeat at the hands of last: year’s 
champion Saetta. The times follow:

TAMERLANE: HOME FRoM BerMubDA.—After a 
passage of 5 days 14 hours, the yawl Tamerlane, 
Commodore Frank Maier, who won the Lipton 
cup in the race to Bermuda, arrived in New 
York on June 16. The cup, which has arrived 
at the Brooklyn Y. C., will soon be presented 
to the winner, but it is thought it will not be 
accepted but ‘offered as a perpetual challenge 
cup for races from New York to Bermuda.
