THE new regatta of the Bristol Y. C., sailed in 
connection with the Narragansett Bay Y. R. A., 
takes place Saturday, July 20. 
RACING IS VERY POPULAR 
DOWN EAST, 
Indian Harbor Y. C. 
THE nineteenth annual regatta was held Satur- 
day, July 13. Special attention is called to the 
following change in the system of Starting; 
Two mark boats will be placed at the starting 
point and the start will be across a range line 
projected from a white flag on the committee 
steamer to and beyond the mast of the mark 
boat nearest the committee steamer. All yachts 
shall cross between the two mark boats and not 
between the committee steamer and the nearer 
mark boat. Any yacht crossing the range line 
as above described before the starting signal of 
her class must return and recross the line. It 
is to be understood that the further mark boat 
will not be on the starting range line. It is 
placed only for the purpose of establishing the 
length of the starting line, all yachts being re- 
quired to pass inside of ite Both mark boats 
shall be considered marks of the course. The 
committee steamer is not to be considered a 
mark, 
The above circular explains itself and it is to 
be hoped the system of so starting yachts will 
be given a fair trial. Anyone, who has watched 
the finishes of a close race, knows how difficult 
it is for those sailing on the yachts to ,tell exactly 
when they have crossed the home line. It was 
absolutely impossible under the old way, as no 
man could look both sides at once and teil 
whether he was in line with both marks or not; 
brut to get two objects in exact line with each 
other (two range marks) is comparatively an 
easy matter, and it will probably do away with 
a great many disputes that are continually occur- 
ring now. 
SATURDAY, July 13, was a typical summer day 
on Long Island—a day of fluky, variable winds 
—that added an additional element of luck to 
the sport of yacht racing. 
The handsome schooner yacht Queen sailed 
against Invader and won, as the latter did not 
finish, owing to the light air. Effort defeated 
Neola and Istalena won in her class. Nepsi won 
the honors in the New York 30ft. class. 
The start was off Great Captain’s Island, thence 
103 

to the gas buoy off Shippon Point, east by north 
14 north, 534 miles; thence to the red spar buoy 
4 : T 
off Long Neck Point, eastnortheast, 256 miles; 
thence across the Sound to the black spar buoy 
off Lloyd’s Néck, south-southwest, 534 miles, and 
thence home, northwest by west, 114 west, 04 
miles, the total distance for the larger boats being 



twenty nautical miles. The schooners and large 
sloops were to sail this course, the 30-footers 
fifteen miles, and so on down to eight miles. The

An Ancient Compass. 
Cart. Howarp Patrerson, of the New York 
Nautical College, 130 Water street, New York, 
has a most curious and interesting relic of 
ancient times in the shape of a Chinese com 
pass. It was found by the American sailors 
when China was invaded by foreigners in the 
late war, preserved then as a relic in a tower 
alone with a complete and perfect collection of 
modern astronomical instruments. The case in- 
closing it is a wooden box made from a 
tion of a tree limb about four inches in diameter 
—one piece incloses the compass and another 
forms a lid to protect it. The odd part of the 
compass is the fact that there are only twenty- 
four points—one for each hour of the day—in 
stead of thirty-two, as our modern compasses 
are marked,
