were loaded on the German S. S. Sylvia of the 
Hamburg-American line late Friday ofternoon. 
The Marblehead was towed up, after being 
stripped and was loaded aboard Sylvia along- 
side of the other two representatives of the 
Eastern Y. C. Sylvia goes first to Baltimore 
and then to Hamburg. The American trio 
should reach Kiel by July 15, and thus have a 
month in which to prepare for the Kaiser cup 
races. Chewink and Marblehead will profit 
greatly by this, as neither of them had any con- 
siderable tuning up before the recent trials. 
They will be sailed by the following crews: 
Spokane—J. Louis Stackpole, helmsman; Edwin 
A. Boardman, mainsheet, and Reginald Board- 
man, light sails. Chewink VIII.—F. G. Ma- 
comber, Jr., helsman; Benjamin C-. Tower, 
mainsheet, and Matthew Bolles, light sails. 
Marblehead—Sumner H. Foster, 
Hatherly Foster, Jr., mainsheet, and Thomas 
Claflin, light sails. These crews will sa:l from 
New York in season to be on hand for the 
Sylvia’s arrival. 
Under the auspices of the Corinthian Y. C. 
the first trial race to pick three dories for the 
international match to be held at Shelbourne, 
N. S., in July was sailed on June 29 off Marble- 
head.. Five dories were entered, each being the 
champion of its club, and a fine race resulted. 
The wind was moderate and the sea smooth. 
Sunny Jim and Teaser led on the first leg, a run, 
but on the wind Elizabeth F. secured a com- 
manding lead which the others could not over- 
come on the run to the finish line. The times 
were as follows:

Class Q has at last had a race in a good 
breeze and lumpy sea, but was marred by a 
fluke in the falling breeze at the finish. This 
did not affect the two leading boats, but prob- 
ably cost Sally third place. Eleanor won again 
with 4 good lead over Dorothy Q, which led the 
Little Rhody II. by 34s. Essex was fourth, 
Sally IX. fifth and Orestes was sixth. This was 
the first of a series of three races arranged by 
the Manchester Y. C. for the 22-raters. Cash 
“prizes will be given in each class and a cup will, 
go to the winner of the series. 
This year’s Isles of Shoals race was a great 
disappointment, due to light, baffling winds that 
made it a question of luck. Little Rhody won in. 
class Q. 
Iris is continuing to do good work in the cat- 
boat class, while the Hull O. D. C. presents a 
changing series of puzzles. Pals is the latest 
winner ard makes Mr. Cole’s ‘second victory. 
The fight will probably lie between Pals, Boni- 
for, Nick Nack II. and Eagle, although any one 
who plays the prophet concerning this class is 
likely to get unexpectedly pushed off of the 
dock, WILLIAM LAMBERT BARNARD. 
Sea Cliff Y. C. Race. 
JoLLy RoGeER won the Sea Cliff Y: C. race on 
Saturday, July 6, in a fresh southwest breeze. 
Eleven boats started. Spook withdrew early in 
the race, as did Spray. Jeannette was disabled 
at the start. The other boats made the course 
in quick time.

_CAVALIER, a new steam 135ft. yacht, owned by 
Charles F. Proctor, of the N. Y. Y. C,, and 
built this year by Robert Jacob at City Island 
from designs by Swasey, Raymond & Page, hit 
the breakwater at Point Judith in a thick fog 
Monday, July 8, and damaged her stern and 
rudder. They certainly do brew a thick brand 
of fog on the waters east of Long Island. 

New York Y. C. Race. 
THERE was considerable wind on Saturday, 
July 6, and the N. Y. Y. C.’s fleet made quick 
time over the various courses laid out for them: 
Aurora and Istalena crossed the line ahead 
of time, and were warned to return. Aurora 
did so, but Istalena kept on over the course and 
Aurora again got in trouble when her skipper 
got hoisted over the side when the main boom 
jibed. So Winsome did as her name implies— 
she won. 
Queen defeated Ingomar in good style. Effort 
won out in the mixed classes, and Adelaide II. 
in the thirties. d 
The course for the larger boats was as fol- 
lows: The first leg of the course was N. by 
E. ¥% E., 3% miles; the second leg, N. E. by 
E. % E., 6% miles, and the home leg, S. W. 
Ve S., 9% miles; in all, 19% nautical miles. The 
30-footers’ first leg was the same as the bigger 
craft; the second, S. E. by S., 244 miles, and the 
home: lég, S. W. % W., 3 miles, mak- 
ing 9% miles. They: sailed it twice, 18! miles.

The winners were Queen, Effort, Winsome, Adelaide II. 
Aside from the magnificent matches, there 
were unusual incidents that marked the first 
turn in the N. Y. Y. C. race on Saturday, July 6, 
One placed the life of the well-known skipper, 
Chris Christensen, of Commodore Cornelius 
Vanderbilt’s sloop Aurora, in danger for many 
minutes. The yacht had covered the first leg 
of the course, 3% miles, to Parsonage Point, 
and for the next leg, to a point off Greenwich, 
booms were jibed for the run of 6% miles. 
Commodore Vanderbilt was at the wheel, and 
Christensen was on the quarterdeck directing 
the men. In the excitement and hurry peculiar 
to the maneuver, Christensen was struck by the 
wire brace running the length of the under side 
of the boom, lifted from the deck and tossed 
into the turbulent waters fifteen feet or more 
from the boat.

dore’s guests for the day, threw the struggling 
skipper a life preserver, which he caught, and in 
the next minute or so, with Aurora in the wind, 
her small boat carried in races, was over the 
side with two men in it. Christensen was 
quickly reached and lifted into the boat. In 
another minute the boat was alongside the 
yacht and willing hands quickly had him on 
board. After assuring Commodore Vanderbilt 
that he was not seriously hurt, he went to his 
room. Aurora then withdrew from the race. 
Besides Mr. Jones, the Contmodore’s guests 
were Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Harriman, so that 
it is no exaggeration to suggest that the ex- 
citemient on the decks of Aurora until the rescue 
of the captain must have been intense, and the 
assurances that the skipper had only received a 
drenching, a great relief. But racing after that 
had no further inducements, and all on board 
were glad when anchor was made in Glen Cove 
Harbor. : 
Christensen is a veteran racing man. He was 
mate 'on the Reliance with Captain Barr, and 
with him in other cup defenders. When it was 
found that Barr could not take charge of the 
Aurora the next choice of Commodore Vander- 
bilt was Christensen.

RRR 
THE night signal of the Seawanhaka Corin 
thian Y. C. has been changed and-~ has been 
registered with the Commissioner of Commerce 
and Labor in Washington as follows: Whit 
light forward, red light amidships, and white 
light aft, or as it will appear at the club station, 
a light burning white, red and white in succes- 
sion. 
RRR 
Sloop yacht Playmate has been sold by Mr. D. 
Rait, Jr., through the agency of Mr. E. E. Loril- 
lard, to Mr. Harry Jackson, and will be renamed 
Mist (probably suggested by the Block Island fog 
experience) and fly the commodore’s flag of the 
New York Athletic Club, and race in the third 
division. of the handicap class.
