boat for Vice Commodore F. Lewis Clark
OF the Eastern Yacht Club. is a splendid
craft and should show up well in the trials:
The Corinthian has had the advantage OF
being out early and has had a good tuning
up. She is the Lawley boat and looks
good.

pearance is he Gardner boa Maria. de-
signed for Max and r. Agassiz. Great

be sailed by f. G. Maoomber. Jr, He had
the Windrim Kid last season from the same
designers, and she proved one OF the best
boats in the class, even though she did not
win a place on the American team.
The boats have kept clear of each other,
80 that no real line can be had on them
until they meet In the trials, although they
have had several brushes. The elimina-
ton races promise to be exciting"
The Quincy Yacht Club has challenged

The racing season has opened we'll in
British waters and the rs footers White
Heather H., a Fife boat; the Brynhilde. a
Nicholson boat, and the older boat, Nyria,
have met several times. Capt. Bevis, who
sailed the Samrock |. in the races against
Shamrock Ill, has charge of the White
Heather II. and has already won six prizes,
including a Kings cup. The Nyria has
been so outclassed by the two new yachts
that in future races she is to receive an al
lowance OF I seconds a mile. An unfor-
tunate accident happened on the White
Heather while starting IN the regatta of the
New Thames Yacht Club on May ~. The
masthead man fell from aloft and was
killed, All big racing yachts have a man
aloft during the races n while the position
is one of considerable danger yachtsmen
canno remember when a man lost his life.
Even when the Columbia, Constitution and
Sha lost their masts. in some mir
aculous way the masthead man escaped
unhurt.
The So foot class on the other side has
brought out 80 far five boats, the Brito-
marte, a Mylne boat; the Sonya, designed
by Herreshoff and the Maymon, a Fife boat,
and two new ones, the Ma'oona, by Mylne,
and the Shimna, by Fife. The Britomarte
but the wind was light and fuky. These
two finished first and second in the order
named in the next race. In the regatta

sailing to windward took a good lead and
eventually won, beating the Sonya / minute
10 seconds, the Shimna 5 minutes 4 seconds,
the Britomar1e 7 minutes 81 seconds and
the Maymon II minutes Q seconds.
In a race in a strong wind given by the
same club the Britomarte won, beating
the Ma'oona 2 minutes 10 seconds and the
Shimna 4 minutes 5 seconds. The Sonya

yachts. The Britomarte was built two
years ago and has been improved each

fast boat. The last race was sailed in a
