Col. Fred. A. Hill. 
YACHTING has lost one of its most ardent devo- 
tees in the death of Col. Frederick A. Hill. He 
was a well-known figure in both yachting and 
military circles, and was but thirty-eight vears of 
age on July 4 last. His death was due from the 
effects of a fall from a horse. He was a skillful 
rider, but at the Niantic Camp he was given a 
horse which had a trick of bolting when the rider 
started to mount. The injuries sustained by this 
fall, combined with typhoid fever, were respon- 
sible for his death. 
Mr. Hill served during the last war at 
Rico with the rank of leutenant-colonel. 
After returning from Porto Rico Mr. Hill be- 
came connected with the Norwalk Mills com- 
pany. At the time of his death he was secretary 
and treasurer of the company. 
Mr. Hill was a member of the Norwalk club 
and the Norwalk Yacht club. He was secretary 
of the Manhasset Bay Yacht Club and a member 
of the regatta committee. He was secretary and 
treasurer of St. Paul’s church and also a vestry- 
man. 
He was a member of the Yale Alumni associa- 
tion, the Military Order of Foreign Wars, and 
McKinley command, United Spanish War Veter- 
ans. He was also treasurer of the American 
Power Boat Association and a member, as repre- 
sentative of the Norwalk Yacht Club, of the Long 
Island Yacht Racing Association. 
His presence among yachtsmen will be greatly 
missed by his wide circle of friends.

won out against the three 57-footers.

the start was made. The course for the larger 
sloops was 1 by N. iA N., 538 miles; E. NiekGes

race to southwest, where it held true. ‘The first 
classes started off on a broad reach, while the 
last ones could carry spinnakers when they 
started.

two indulging in a luffing match.

of thirties. Thelema won in the first division of

South Side Yacht Club Formed. 
A NEw yacht club, known as the South Shore 
Y. €., has been organized at Freeport; L. I. 
A motor boat race was sailed on Saturday, Sept. 
7, the opening day of the club, and Jamboree 
won first prize. After the race a large club 
flag was raised amid cheers and then the en- 
thusiastic yachtsmen had a grand clam bake and 
speech-making time. 
Ocean Race Greenwich to Hampton 
Roads. 
Tue Indian Harbor Y. C.’s ocean race to 
Hampton Roads only produced four starters, 
but they were four boats whose actions will be 
watched by as much interest as though there 
were many more, owing to the fame of some of 
the contestants and also to the difference in size. 
Endymion came near not participating in the 
event, as four of her crew deserted before the 
race, and it was only by the greatest kind of 
hustling Capt. Loesch obtained a new crew in 
South Brooklyn and got them up to Greenwich 
in time to start shortly after 2 P. M. Saturday, 
Sept. 7. 
There was a light southwesterly air blowing 
when the schooners worked out to the starting 
line off Captain’s Island, where the race com- 
mittee in the Bellemere formed the starting line. 
Endymion was the first to cross the line, In- 
vader second, Margaret third, and Venona last. 
Their times were as follows: 
ciahe, shatehetstoee 2 03 00 
58 Margaret 
BASS cic 2 03 41 
28 Venona 
Endymion 
Invader 
Half an hour after the start Invader was the 
leader, one-quarter of a mile in advance of 
Endymion; Venona, third, one-sixteenth of a 
mile away, and Margaret last, a cable length 
further astern. They were moving through the 
water not more than four miles an hour, but 
the prediction then was that the light breeze 
would hold at least until after sunset. And yet 
this prediction was based more upon. the hope 
that such would be the case than upon any sign 
aloft, or judging from the average weather con- 
ditions ruling upon the Sound at this season of 
the year. 
Off Norwalk Islands Invader had increased 
her lead and was about 3m. ahead of Endymion, 
while there was a wide stretch of water between 
the latter and the Margaret, and Venona had 
dropped well astern. 
Invader being the largest boat, has to allow 
time to all the others, and it will be interesting 

to see if the little Venona can save her time. In- 
vader allows the others time as follows: 
Endymion, staan 2 0% 26 Wenona: aanicateraen 14 21 04 
Margaret. ...évescus 4 41 00 

THE Spokane on Monday, Sept. 9, won the 
King Alfonso cup at San Sebastian, Spain, in a 
strong, southerly breeze. The King’s yacht, Dios 
Salve, was second, with Chewink VIII., Marble- 
head, Princess of the Asturias, and Doriga in the 
order named. 
Spokane I. won two special races at Bilboa, 
Spain, for cup offered by King Alfonso, with 
Marblehead coming in second, and Chewink VIII. 
third. These races were sailed under a handicap 
system.
