stood on the centerboard. She was under way again in less 
than two minutes, but once more capsized. This time she 
not only took more water below, but tilled 4^r hollow mast, 
and could not be righted. Com. Benedict went to her rescue 
in the Oneida. 
Not one 'loat of the fleet, Shark, Arauca and Idea now hav- 
ing withdrawn, had the proper head canvas for a three-reefed 
mainsail; and all were steering badly, while their crews, 
drenched from the start, were almost exhausted. Skate had 
left her storm jib ashore that morning, and none of the 
others had or could set theirs. Momo was jilled along with 
boom topped up, and peak lowered. 
Skate was very near to the finish, and just ahead of Momo 
at 3 o'clock, when she capsized. Her crew climbed on to the 
centerboard and soon righted her, but Mr. Cox went over- 
board as she started off. With sheets in a tangle she at- 
tempted to round to for him, but Momo came up and the 
two touched lightly. Skate went over again, and this time 
turned her mast to the bottom, so that her 2801b. sliding fin 
dropped out and, of course, was lost. Mr. Cox was picked 
up by Thos. Webber in his launch, and soon ran over to 
Skate. She was taken in tow by a friendly launch, but the 
attempt to tow her at full speed while her crew were right- 
ing her, drew her under water with the three men fouled in 
the lines, and nearly drowned them. The steam yacht Girolda 
finally took her into the harbor, the hull entirely sub- 
merged. She had no ballast whatever, but was open below 
from end to end. 
Momo finished at 3:11:06, her time for the 12 miles being 
:51:06. Montauk came next, then Keneu. Mary had done 
very well in the windward work and was in a good place 
probably third boat, when she parted a shroud and laid to 
for repairs. She lost a good deal of time, but finally came to 
the line in fourth place, but did not cross, though her time 
was taken. 
When in the harbor her rudder troke in the stock. The 
ofiicial times were:

The day was marked by innumerable minor incidents of 
fire and shipwreck of the "To be Continued" order. After 
reaching the club house the committee decided to postpone 
the second race to Wednesday,
