as delayed from 11 to 1:30, only ten boats arrived In time, and

.t-class. The judges had selected the course for 

 breeze, which was a fair wholesall one, came 



and iimdelt a free wind race. The run to llalf- 



rly close haided on starboard lack, the rock 

 being rounded pretty much In the order ot starting. 



From here the small boats had a free wind to Egg Uock, then a 

 beam wind tome Pigs, and carried It over tUe quarter to the homo 

 Hue, which was reached as follows : Efde, :i:i:i; Dream, 3:62:12; 

 Viking, 3:»4:3a. The large boats had a close haul across the buy to 

 the Graves, and the races between the two big schooners, and be- 

 tween Ariadne and Madcap were verycloss. 



Phantom stood on a Utile beyond the rock before tacking, while her 

 opp.meiu, 1'iek- .1 in once. The run over was uneventful, lialcyon 

 closing a little better In the seaway and making a small gain to tho 

 Graves, while Ariadne, wLUl Madcap cl03e on her quarters, left- Viva 

 Borne way ast. : n, I tie keel boat wanting more wind. After rounding 

 the Graves. Halcyon beaded lor EgJJ Kock wing and wing, carrying 

 only tour lower sails, working foivlopsall and hooin g;UT topsail. An 

 attempt was made to set jlbtopsall but It would noi. draw and was 

 taken in. Phautom meai.tlme was coming up itiadually, carrying 

 iiion sail than any boat has carried In an Eastern Yacht Club race. 

 Besides her lower satis, she carried working forctnpsiill, large boom 

 malnropsall, a very large balloon staysail, with alio topsail lo match, 

 and a huge Balloon llbsel living to Hie masthead. She also ran out 

 ei arge spinnaker which "pulled handsomely. Her competitor, 

 seeing something must be done, sent up a small staysail and reached 

 Egg lto^k a trifle- ahead, Phantom having gained one minute since 

 the s'ait, and having to allow 3m. Us. 



Before reaching the rook lialcyon got her Jib, flying jib and foresail 

 sheets Bat In and had her crow al main sheet, ready for a luffing 

 match, It necessary. Phantom took In spinnaker ana followed close 

 behind her, apparent ly trying lo carry her light canvas to the Pigs ; 

 the strain, however, proved mo mu.ii.as she camo out from the lee ot 

 t.bii rock; the tack of the balloon Jib parted, and In a second both top- 

 masts were gone ; tho tore snapped sho't at the cap, the main splin- 

 tered olT about one-third of the way up, leaving the boat under four 

 lower sails.
