BIG SCHOQNERS
Have Carried off nOnOrS
Of Yachting Season.
Elena, Enchantress, IroIiia and
Westward Winners.
May Be Type Used In the Next
Americas Cup Races.

Newport, r. l., Aug. 15.-The plac-
ing out of commission of the big
schooners Elena ana Westward to be
followed shortly by the Irolita and
Enchantress brings to a somewhat
early close one of the most interest
ing seasons of large yacht racing since
the last Americas cup series of 1908.
It was hoped that this quartet of
yachting "Dreadnoughts" might meet
in a supplementary series off Sandy
Hook but both Commodore Morton F.
Plant of the Elena and A S. Coch-
ran of the Westward have decided
that they have had sufficient sport
for this year and will postpone fur
Their trials of speed until next season.
The tWo-months racing closes with
the Elena in the lead, although in the
past two weeks her margin of The
Westward shows a difference Of only
40 seconds in 231 miles of racing. Yet
the Plant yacht met the Cochran boat
in eight contests and defeated her
FIVE times. The Elena met the Iro-
iita in seventeen races and won IA
times. while the Elena defeated the
Enchantress in eight of nine races.
The Elena's eason- began on June II
with two races in the Sound followed
by the cruise of the Eastern Yacht
Club of Bar Harbor, then with the
cruise of the New York Yacht Club
aud the races for the Astor and King
cups and the special race on Satur-
day by the Newport Yacht Racing AS
ISOLATION.
The Irolita's season was the same,
while the Enchantress participated in
two runs of the Eastern Yacht Club,
the New York Club cruise and the
races for the Aston and Kings cups,
the latter being her only victory of
the sea son.
The Westward's season did not be-
gin until the New York Yacht Club
cruise, although she was in commits
sion on July list, two weeks after
her return from successful trip
ABROAD. She won one of the squadron
runs and the Aston cup and defeated
the Elena in the race for the King s
cup.
The Irolita defeated the Elena in
one of the runs of the Eastern Yacht
Club, in the longest run of the New
York Yacht Club of 50 1-2 miles from
Fort Pond Bay to New Bedford and
ing Association on Saturday last She
also defeated the Enchantress in one
run of the Eastern Yacht Club in the
five runs of the New York Club cruise.
The Enehantress record stands, one
victory over the Irolita in the East
ern Yacht Club cruise, another in the
race for the Aston cup while as has
been said, she defeated the three in
the race for the Kings cup.
| The attention of the yacht world
has been drawn to these four yachts
as it is felt that the next contest for
the Americas cup will be fought with
this type of boat, combining as, it
ldoes. speed, safety and comfort. All
hands lived on these yachts through
out the season, which is something
that could not be done with the more
recent cup defenders.
1t is expected that the Elmina,
owned by F. F. Brewster, will be in
commission next season and that the
racing win be still more Interesting,

General Good Time.

Augusta is to have an old-time fire.
mems muster at Capital Driving park

play, the handtubs will squirt" and
the boys who run with the machines
will break 'er down" in great shape

ISOLATION.
The meeting was we'll attended and
much interest was manifested. The
matter of the muster, which is the
first annual muster to be held by the
association, was discussed at some
length, and at the conclusion of the
meeting it was the decision of the

The plans for the muster are not
fully completed, but they will be with
in a short time. 1t will be open to all
handtubs in the State. both of the

The program for the day will include
a street parade in the forenoon. ana
the contests will take place at the
Driving park in the afternoon. Spe =
cial rates will be allowed on the Maine
Central Railroad, and there is every

Finest Camp of Them All.


The general opinion of Col. Hume and
his staff is that this has been far and
away the finest camp that the 2nd Regi-
ment has ever had. The men are satisfied
with the mess and enthusiastic over the
work of the encampment. Both Col
Hume and Lieut.. Col. Cummings feel
confident that much of the credit for the
general enthusiasm of the men should be
given to Lieut.. Gould of Co. G., the ath-
letic officer of the End Regiment who
has not only put in a great deal of time
and energy into the preparation of the
athletic events. but has also succeeded in
| carrying out his entire program. In adj
dtion to this he has also kept up his
work with his company and has not been
found remiss in any of his duties as an
officer. His program as announced SEEM
ed to many of the officers a pretentious
one and some of the facetously inclined,
upon reading the list, declared that the
End Regiment would be obliged to stay in
camp until the last of September in order
to complete it, But now the laugh is on
them rather than the athletic director
Lieut. Crystal of the regular army, who
has been acting as an instructor at Camp
Reyes, left Tuesday afternoon for Platts-
burg n. Y, TO resume his military du-
ties there. and Cook Leyor, also of the
regular army, will follow him Wednes-
day Major Church. who has been in
structing the Medical Corps, will return
on Wednesday to Fort Mckinley Lieut..
Butcher and Sergt. Schweitzer will re-
main in Augusta to continue their work
with the End Regiment.
The officers of the End Regiment have
found Major Church. Lieut.. Butcher and
Lieut. Crystal untiring in their efforts
and always ready to give instruction
when asked outside of their routine du-
ties The instructing officers from the
regular army have also found the officers
of the End entirely DESTROYS of getting in
struction at all times, and the regular
army officers say that they have never
foundia regiment with officers so anxious
to work as those of the End Maine. Cook
Leyor and Sergt. Schweitzer have. also
given their services freely in assisting
the cooks and enlisted men and have
proven themselves very popular with all.
Col Hume in discussing the work OF
the camp Tuesday afternoon, with Jour
nal reporter expressed his appreciation
of the splendid work done by Major Biai
F. Bradbury of Norway in his capacity
in command of the Hospital CORPS III
connection with the sanitation OF the
camp. The utmost of good feeilhs mas
prevailed during the entire encamplHeii'
and the wish of nearly all of the offlcers
and men is that the tour OF duty might
have been 20 days instead OF 10. AS one
of the enlisted men expressed IL: we
have Just begun TO learn how TO DO Things
and | wish Col Hume could fix 1t so we
could STAY here twice as long.

Co. A of Pittsfield has won the
championship of the Sd Battalion and
for that achievement at baseball will
receive a silver cup. The baseball
team of that company has also been
officially declared the champion of the
regiment by Lieut.. Gould, the athletic
director, which gives them one leg on
the Regimental cup, which must be
won three years in succession before
it can be permanently held by any
company.
The proudest man over the achieve
ment of the company baseball team is
Capt. Louis o. Haskell, the command
er of the company. Il had no idea
| that our baseball team would win the
championship for We simply came in
TO camp with the intention of meeting
all corners and with no expectation of
winning the championship" said he.
Tuesday afternoon, when the result
was announced at Capt. Gould's tent.
The championship baseball team of
| CO. a of Pittsfield has won every game
that it has played in the battalion
i. and regimental series and has never
been scored upon but twice; once by
| Co. II Monday and again by the Hos
pital Corps Tuesday. The team has
| been made up of men who have never
| played together before coming to
| camp and none of the men connected
with the baseball team have ever ask
ed Capt. Haskell to be excused from
| duty.
| Following the Co AHospital Corps
game, a game was arranged between
two picked teams, which went for sew
| eral innings and in which Lieut..
Butcher had a splendid chance to de-
velop his pitching arm. Lieut.. Gould's
endeavors to promote athletics by no
means ceased with the completion OF
his official program as athletic director,
| for under his direction several friend
| ly boxing bouts and wrestling matches.
| including the best talent the camp
could afford. made the last night of
the encampment pass very quickly.
Capt. Gould is we'll pleased with the
manner in which the men have co-op-
Grated with him in carrying out the
athletic program and he is planning
| for a continuation of the same at the
next encampment. although if 1t is
held at Pine Camp, there may not be
so much of an opportunity to play
baseball Capt. Gould stated Tuesday
night that a mistake had been made
in the announcement of the winners
in the 440-vard dash, as announced IL
| the Journal and ether papers Monday
| morning. George of G should have been
! given as the winner of the event. with
