IN YACHTING CIRCLES 
A heavy wind squall played havoc 
with the six machine sloops of the 
Southern Y. C. in a race last week. 
The new Keep boat, designed by E. 
A. Boardman and built at the Fenton 
Boat Co. in Manchester the past win- 
ter, and the Massachusetts were cap- 
sized, while the Seawanhaka and 
Katherine, were forced to quit. The 
sails, rigging and spars of the Massa- 
chusetts were badly torn and broken. 
These injuries were minor, however, 
in comparison to those of the Keep 
boat, which remained bottom side up 
about a mile from shore all night, with 
her mast rammed into the mud. The 
greatest damage to the Keep boat 
came as a result of an attempt at res- 
cue or aid in righting the boat, as a 
propeller of a power boat tore open 
the boat’s side.

The entire racing program of the 
Corinthian Yacht club this season will 
be made up of open regattas, even to 
the grand handicap race for the com- 
modore’s prizes of Saturday, Sept. 13. 
In previous years, ever since this an- 
nual event of the club was instituted, 
this race has been open only to club 
boats and usually has been sailed on 
Labor Day. 
This season the racing at Marble- 
head will be on a new plan. The East- 
ern, Corinthian, Boston and Manches- 
ter Yacht clubs have agreed to have 
the open races count for the North 
Shore championship, for which cham- 
pionship pennants will be given. As 
many of the owners of the yachts in 
the classes eligible for these cham- 
pionships are not members of all the 
four clubs, the races of the Corinthian 
_Y. C. have been made open events. 
The classes for which champion- 
ship pennants will be given in the 
North Shore racing aré: Class P, 31- 
raters, Bar Harbor 31-footers, sonder 
class, Boston Y. C.  second-rating 
class, Marblehead one-design 17-foot- 
ers; Manchester one-design 17-foot- 
ers; Corinthian Y. C. one-design 15- 
footers. The club will award cham- 
pionships also in class M, 46-raters: 
class N, 38-raters; class P, 81-raters; 
class Q, 25-raters; class R, 20-raters; 
class S, 17-raters; Bar Harbor 81-foot 
class, sonder class, Marblehead one- 
design 17-footers, and Corinthian Y. 
C. one-design 15-footers. 
The Sir Thomas J. Lipton $1000 
cup for 81-raters, representing the 
championship of Massachusetts Bay, 
is held in custody by the club, and the 
regatta committee has arranged for 
the open races of the South Boston, 
Boston, Corinthian, Eastern, Man- 
chester, Gloucester and Lynn Yacht 
Clubs to count for this championship.

The club has challenged for the 
Quincy Y. C. Challenge Cup, now held 
by the Boston Yacht Club. The re- 
gatta committee in picking the club’s 
representative will be governed or in- 
fluenced in its selection by the per- 
formance of boats in any event dur- 
ing the season of 1913 prior to the cup 
races, and may require special trials 
if, in their judgment, such course is 
expedient or necessary. 
For the grand handicap race prizes 
have been offered by Commodore 
Charles B. Wheelock, and _ for the 
Cape Cod ocean race a trophy has 
been donated by Ex-Rear Commo- 
dore Harold S. Wheelock. For the © 
series winners in the mid-Summer 
races suitable prizes will be given, and 
silver cups will be given to the cham- 
pionship winners. 
The mid-Summer series of three 
races with the usual open race of Sat- 
urday of the same week, which in the 
past seasons have proved, through the 
efforts of ‘‘Bill’ Carlton, to be the 
greatest yachting events for small 
yachts anywhere along the Atlantic 
coast, will be given Aug. 6, 7, 8 and 
9. The ‘club’s schedule of racing for 
the season is as follows:
