At 9.15 the first whistle will be given from the judges' steamer, and the number of the course to be sailed will be hoisted, under a blue flag, to the mast-head. This course flag will fly until both classes have started, except that if the committee decide to postpone the start, the course flag will be lowered and a red flag hoisted to cancel all previous signals, and change the interval as above.
At 9.20 a second whistle, the warning for the First Class to pre- pare to start.
At 9.25 a third whistle, the start of the First Class. Five minutes to cross the line.
At 9.30 a fourth whistle, the start of the Second Class. Five minutes to cross the line.
Both classes will observe the same rules, to sail over the same course.
REMARKS.
The committee respectfully ask all captains of steamers and sail- ing vessels to keep away from the vessels while they are getting in condition to start, so as to give them a good clear course, and not to go to windward of the racers, either going or coming, so as to interfere with their wind.
Any vessel that has had pot lead put on her bottom for this race will be debarred. If, for any reason, the judges should postpone this race until the next day, a white flag will be hoisted under the ensign with the letter P on it. All vessels are expected to lie off Eastern Point at nine o'clock, so there will be no delay in starting. No prizes will be awarded to a vessel making second best time, unless three vessels finish in each class.
In addition to the Hovey cup, valued at $300, the Executive Committee appropriated $329, and there were subscribed the following sums by

TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY
THE FLYING FISHERMEN'S RACE.
FROM A LAND- LUBBER'S POINT OF VIEW.
" A wet sheet and a flowing sea, And a wind that follows fast."
Fishy old Gloucester is to be heartily congratulated upon her grand celebration which, from every point of view, was eminently suc- cessful. But to the majority of Cape Ann's sturdy sons, the Flying Fishermen's Race was the most interesting event of the three days' fête. Having sailed in the race I have been asked by several skippers to say a word in regard to it.
During the first two days of the celebration, the city had been buried in bunting. But now she put aside her holiday rig, and lay hove too, facing the storm, reefed down to riding-sails. Forgetting her proud moment of triumph, she became once more the Gloucester of old, her winding streets reeking with fish-gurry, tar, bilge-water, and pogy-oil. And her hardy citizens, complacently discarding frock coats, boiled shirts, and all such foolish toggery, donned the familiar oilskins, sou'westers, " kegs," rubber boots, and steered a compass course for Eastern Point, or the wharves, from which points to observe the great event of the festival, to wit, the Fishermen's Race.
Through the courtesy of Howard Blackburn, I had met Capt. Charlie Olsen, skipper of the " James S. Steele," the night before the race, and accepted an invitation to sail with him. When morning dawned, it proved to be as dirty a day as often comes to the Cape. During the night a howling northeaster had set in ; it was what the web- footed boys call an " old hum snoozer." Great ragged storm clouds hurtled before the gale; far as eye could reach the angry seas were white in their passionate fury ; and good old Mother Ann, our fisher- men's patron saint, trembled and moaned piteously as she thought of her sturdy sons far out upon the deep.
Old Father Neptune and Old Probabilities, always important factors in the life of Cape Ann, were trying to manifest their interest in the celebration by combining forces and stirring up the elements to an unusual degree of fury. But the Gloucester fisherman is brought up on gales and danger, and used to exposure, and a northeaster is his every-day diet. This great storm, instead of striking terror to those who were to race, filled all hearts with joy. There was not a skipper

217
OF THE TOWN OF GLOUCESTER, MASS.
in the fleet who had not been praying for wind. The prayer was answered without stint.
At the appointed hour we met on Steele's wharf, and filing by the skipper, saluted loyally, giving him our names. There were twenty-four of us, all told, as sturdy a ship's crew as ever weathered a wintry sea. We were Norsemen, Swedes, Danes, Portuguese, Blue-noses, and New- foundlanders, but Yankees to the backbone, everyone, and full of Yankee blood and Cape Ann grit.
Allow me to state, at this point, that I am told that His Excellency Governor Russell was to have been a guest on the "Steele," but that he declined to ship, owing to stress of weather. This observation is, in consequence, very naturally forced upon me, that there is a vast difference between governors and common clay, and that while this distinguished statesman had sense enough to stay ashore, we had not.
I will not attempt to give the race in detail. The admirable descriptions by the Times, Breeze, and Boston Herald, cannot be excelled.
You all know how, without a reef tied down, the ten flyers ran off for Halfway Rock before the wind ; how, leaving Halfway Rock on the port, they ran for Nahant ; how, passing the Nahant mark, they stood off for Minot's, with the wind just forward of abeam ; and how, tacking around Davis' Ledge buoy, it was smash, bang, hammer, and pound all the way home, and old Mother Ann seventeen and one half miles away, dead to windward.
Suffice it to say that the race was the most daring and thrilling contest in the annals of Gloucester. Every vessel carried herself as proudly as a Viking ship, and every man proved himself a hero. The wind must be wild, the sea high, when Grand Bankers find it best to bend on life lines and put two men at the wheel ; yet no one seemed to mind.
Luring the long thrash to windward, every vessel sailed on her lee rail, with deck buried to the hatches. Huge seas broke continually over the staunch flyers and swept the decks. The brave, laboring craft would roll under surging seas to the second and third ratlines; then would follow awful moments of suspense, as the unflinching crews, with teeth set and hands clenched, watched to see if their craft would stagger up again, or go down under her grievous load. Desperate as the chances were, not a vessel luffed or reefed, as to be the first to reef would make her the laughing stock of the town, and there was not a skipper in the fleet who would not carry away both sticks rather than be branded as a coward.

TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY
Speaking for the "J. S. Steelc," she was ably managed and behaved beautifully. In a longer race and under more favorable con- ditions, she would undoubtedly come in a winner ; and, with due respect to Maurice Whalen and Tom Bohlin, be it said, no bolder skipper nor braver crew ever stood out by Eastern Point Light, than Capt. Charles Olsen and the lads who so pluckily manned this beautiful white flyer in the face of that fearful gale.
And one there was on board, who, hurled half stunned into the lee scuppers, would in all probability have gone down into that awful sea off Minot's, but for the prompt and plucky action of Sinius Nelson, who, heedless of his own peril, leaped across the deck to help a ship- mate in distress ; and to this modest, manly brother, the thanks of grateful hearts have gone out. All honor to Sinius Nelson, to Charles Olsen, to Howard Blackburn, to Albert Hendricksen, Tom Bohlin, Sol Jacobs, and to all the fearless men who man the smart fishing smacks of Gloucester town ! It is to such men that a town points with pride. Such hardy sons go to make the beef and sinew, the bulwarks of a nation. Good men are always to be honored ; and, the world over, heroes are held above par.
Day and night, year in, year out, manly deeds are done, recorded only by the angels in heaven ; heroes, their big, warm hearts throbbing with brave, brotherly kindness, go down into the sea's greedy sepulchre, their names " writ in water." With arms outstretched, with blanched face upturned to helpless, suffering shipmates in one last, agonizing appeal, down, down the poor fisherman sinks in the treacherous, hungry sea. O, Father in heaven, unto those to whom is permitted this cruel fate, give especial tenderness and blessing ! Grant that in some fair haven of thine they may find blessed and eternal anchorage.
In conclusion, I have only this to ask, seamen, landsmen, good friends, all, that you will pardon this lengthy article, since it is upon your brilliant celebration, and will not be called for again in two hundred and fifty years. And ere another anniversary shall roll around, we shall all, please God, have rounded, not Eastern Point, but the Golden Gate, and passed in upon a haven fairer and more peace- ful, even, than is Gloucester Harbor to-day, serene and sumptuously beautiful under the September sun.
WILLIAM HALE.
The cup offered by Mr. Hovey, and won by the schooner "Harry L. Belden," was a magnificent specimen of the silversmiths' art, and was designed and manufactured by Messrs. Shreve, Crump & Low, of
219
OF THE TOWN OF GLOUCESTER, MASS.
Boston. Mr. Hovey had from the very beginning been very much interested in the anniversary, and both he and his sister were generous contributors to the anniversary fund. Moreover, Mr. Hovey, as chair- man of the Regatta Committee, made that feature of the celebration meinorable. In donating the silver cup for the Flying Fishermen, he expressly stipulated that it should be called the offering of the people of Gloucester. The prize was well worth making strenuous efforts to secure, and Captain Whalen will ever cherish it and hand it down to his descendants, a noble legacy. Briefly described, it is of solid silver and stands a foot high from its dark-colored plush pedestal. Its mountings and chasings of marine emblems are all done in oxydized silver, and all done by hand. The handles of the cup are silver codfish, while its base is a mass of sea shells, crowned by a band of star fish.
One side represents fishing vessels under full sail, while on the reverse is the seal of the city of Gloucester, showing the city as seen from the sea, with Eastern Point Light in the distance. Around the seal are the words, " Presented by the Citizens of Gloucester."
Around the neck is another band of sea shells, from which drop in artistic folds whole masses of seaweed, that eventually lose their identity in the bands of star fish and sea shells at the base of the cup.
The cup offered as first prize in the second class was also a beauti- ful specimen of silver work. While not nearly as elaborate as the Hovey cup, it was of high artistic design and well wrought out. In size and general appearance, it nearly resembled the other cup, but, of course, somewhat plainer in design. Captain Malone will always value it for its association to him as a participant and victor in the most exciting race ever sailed off Gloucester.

TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY
THE YACHT RACES.
G REAT preparations had been made for the yacht races. The yachting committee, all of them enthusiastic yachtsmen, had worked hard to get together a representative fleet of boats. All the great yachting clubs in Massachusetts had become interested, and on the day preceding the race, the harbor was filled with the big and little craft. Liberal prizes in money had been offered ; Commodore Henry S. Hovey, chairman of the committee, had spared neither expense nor pains to make the event successful. Vice-Chairman Mclaughlin and Secretary Smothers had worked early and late. Great was the disap- pointment when the howling northeaster broke with full force over Gloucester on Thursday and only seemed to increase its energy on Friday. However, the committee and the judges decided that the races should be sailed, and simply postponed the time of starting from morning until 2.30 o'clock in the afternoon. From the Boston Daily Herald, of Aug. 27, 1892, we get the following account : -
There was a yacht race in Gloucester yesterday, and it was one that tried yachtsmen's souls. The wind was blowing a small-sized gale from the northeast, and it swept down through Gloucester Harbor during the entire day, and there was no let up, in fact, it increased after the races were started.
The race was announced for the morning, but the weather outlook was so bad that the committee postponed the race until the afternoon, in hopes that the wind might moderate. The news of the postpone- ment was favorably received by the yachtsmen, and the judges used good judgment in putting it off. Although the course was changed to the inside of Gloucester Harbor, where the wind was broken off some- what, still there was quite a jump of a sea on, and the little boats took many a header.
A thick, drizzling rain fell all day, so that racing in the cold north- east gale was anything but pleasant. All the boats were tied down to close reefs, and the sloops had stem staysails on. The cutter "King Philip" had a reef in her mainsail, her topmast was housed, and she had a storm staysail set. The " Handsel " was under close reefed main- sail and stem staysail, and at this she had all the sail on that she could carry. The " Chapoquoit " was under a short mainsail and storm jib. The " Chieftain " was under three reefs and small jib. The crack cat- boat " Magpie " was under close reefs, and she made a splendid show-

ing, carrying her sail well, beside going fast. The "Wapita," "Good Luck," "Beatrice," "Black Cloud," "Hazard," and " Irene " were all under the shortest sail, and they had more than they could lug. There were none of the modern 21-footers in, although there were several in the harbor. The little boats under sixteen feet, with their pocket handkerchief mainsails, made a fine showing, and went over the course in grand style.
After postponing the race in the morning the judges held a meet- ing and decided that the weather was too severe to send the yachts over the outside course, and they wisely decided to substitute the fol- lowing inside courses for the different classes : -
Course for first, second, and third classes : From starting line, leaving Dog Bar buoy and Eastern Point Ledge buoy on port, to and around whistling buoy off Eastern Point, leaving it on starboard ; thence to and around bell buoy off Norman's Woe, leaving it on starboard, to starting line, rounding flag at starting line, leaving it on starboard and repeat the course ; allowance for ten miles.
Course for fourth, fifth, and sixth classes : From starting line, leav- ing Round Rock buoy on port hand, flag on starting line on starboard hand, Round Rock buoy on port hand to finish line ; allowance for six miles.
The first class was sent away at 2.30, in a howling breeze, and with the wind dead aft. The " Chieftain " led the way, under a handi- cap of twenty-five seconds. The "King Philip " was next, with a handicap of one minute and ten seconds. The "Chapoquoit " came third, starting wrongly ahead of her class, but, as it made no difference, the judges took no notice of it. She had her topmast housed and was under the shortest sail.
Just as this boat went over the line Governor Russell came on board the judges' boat, the " Fortuna," in company with Lieutenant Hunt, secretary to Admiral Gherardi, and the two witnessed nearly all of the races from the " Fortuna."
The " Handsel" was the only starter in her class, and she sailed over the same course as the "Chieftain," and the latter was beaten by the fin boat in actual time by over four minutes.
The race between the " Chieftain," " King Philip," and "Chapo- quoit," which started nearly together, was close and exciting. The big " King Philip," with all her lead, lay out badly, her decks were awash, and with more sail on than the " Chieftain," she could not gain on her, but fell off during the first time around the course.
The "Chapoquoit " could have carried more sail ; in fact, she was
222
TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY
under too short sail, for she seemed able to shake out a reef and stand it. On the first time around the course she was beaten by both the "King Philip " and "Chieftain," and she lost by making a bad turn at the first mark when going over the course the second time. The " Apc," which started against the "Chapoquoit," fell out after going over part of the first leg on the second time around.
In the third-class centreboards, the " Gipsey " made a fine show- ing, and gave the new twenty-five-footer " Beatrice " a big beating. The " Black Cloud " and the "Hazard " sailed a close race, and the "Good Luck " was beaten by the " Black Cloud " over a mile. The " Viola" lost her mast. The " Vivian," "Perdita," and " Augusta " were withdrawn, after sailing over the first round of the course. The " Wapita" also withdrew and did not finish.
In the third-class keels the "Emma L." beat the "Irene " by over a mile, and these were the only two boats in the class to finish.
In the jib and mainsail class the starters were the " Mavis " and " Promenade." The " Mavis " alone went over the course.
In the fourth class, for catboats of eighteen to twenty-one feet, the " Magpie " and " Arab " were the only starters, and the " Magpie " won out a fine victory.
In the fourth-class keels, with the " Astrea," " Wahneta," " Mock- ing Bird," and "Wraith " in, the " Astrea " won, with the "Wahneta " second.
In the fifth class the field was reduced to one boat at the finish, and she was the " Chippie."
The sixth class included boats under sixteen feet. The "Mar- chioness," " Rodie," " Alpine," " Ida May," and "Wizard " were the starters. The " Marchioness " won, with the " Rodie " a close second. The little boats labored hard, and it took considerable nursing to get them over the course.
