MOSQUITO FLEET Y. C , APRIL 4.— The usual Fast Day race 

 of the Mcsquito Fleet served to open the season at Boston. The 

 race was notable from the presence of several boats of a new type, 

 keel craft with a "wineglass" section; the old boats being wider 

 and with centerboards. The wind was light from N. E. and did 

 not give a good test of the boats. The coarse was: From starting 

 line to red spar buoy No. 2, off Thompson's Island, thence to 

 middle shaft, then to buoy off K street, thence to judge's boat, 

 leaving everything on starboard, 5 miles. Prior to the start 

 Nellie capsized. The times were:

 light for such heavy work as this often is. A water spaniel or 

 Chesapeake Bay dog would he better. . .
