24-8th Regatta. 
■WENAUMET— buzzard's BAT. 
Saturday, July S. 
The 248th race was sailed oflE the club house on July 3, 
being the second open sweepstake. With the exception of 
the Coquette and Lara, all starters belonged to the club. 
These two hail from Monument Beach. Lara was only 
launched July 3, and her sail was hardly knocked into 
shape. 
The race In the cruising class was good, the Edith, just 
built by Herreshoflf, and the Mariposa, a new Lawley boat 
making their first appearance. This is the new restricted 
class— 31ft. waterline, 3,0001bs. outside lead, 600ft. of working 
sail, and with limits on beam and depth. They are very 
handsome boats, each of a different color, all with good ac- 
commodations, watertight cockpits, etc. The class is a great 
success. 
The race in the second class was also good, but Thordis 
again showed herself the best boat in moderate air. 
In third class Molly, with her present sail, could not point 
with the others, and her owner drew her out at the end of 
first round. Nobska and Melro sailed a hot race, Nobska 
counting one, as she made the best actual time by eight sec- 
onds, but Melro getting prize on allowance. 
In fourth class sloops, everyone who had sailed on Mr. 
Eustis's new Copelin expected her to win; she is the new 
boat with a centerboard, and a rudder on each side. For a 
short time at the start she had it her own way, when the 
jaws of her gaff broke, and after that she could not point 
with the other boats, though she ran very fast. 
In the fourth class cats, Mr. Stockton's Daisy, looking like 
a new boat, though she is nearly ten years old, beat Howard 
and Coquette; and in the fifth class Imp won on both actual 
and corrected time. 
Wind was south and moderate. Judges: George P. Gard- 
ner and Walter Lloyd Jeffries. 
First prizes won by Thordis, Micaboo, Melro, Opossum, 
Daisy and Imp, all of these, except Melro, scoring 1 for 
championship, which Nobska got in this class. 
Second prizes were won by Kalama, Royal Blue, Heiress 
and Lara. 
Third prizes were won by Mist, Edith, Blue Fish; and the 
AKISTA— BOOM END BANDING. 
following boats scored 34 for championship— Kalama and 
Lara and Mist not being sailed by a naember— Bernice, 
Royal Blue, Melro, Heiress .and Hebe. 
There is no allowance in the cruising class, Grilse took it 
easy, did not set her light sails, and her usual crew were on 
Capelin.

Courses same as race No. 247. Judge, W. Lloyd Jeffries 
A two-reef south wester was blowing, and for the first time 
this year the club had Buzzard's Bay weather. 
In second class Anonyma beat everyone to windward, but 
Thordis ran her and got in first, but her length was protested 
as being out of the class, when first measured just launchea 
she measured a Xin. into the class, but she has soaked some 
water and now measures lin. out of the class, so Anonyma 
takes the mug. 
It was nip and tuck with Nobska and Melro up to a point 
half a mile from the finish, Nobska leading, but Melro, in- 
side her time allowance, at this time Nobska's boom broke 
and put her out of it. 
In cruising class the strong wind was expected to make 
Robin Hood win, and she did handsomely. 
Howard won in fourth cats with a long lead. Opossum 
won again in fourth sloop class; she is a beauty, and has yet 
to be beaten. Imp won again, though Hebe led at end of 
first round. 
Heiress led Opossum at end of first round, and set her 
spinaker very quickly, while Opossum was very slow in set- 
ting balloon jib, still on this last short leg Opossum took the 
lead and won by over 2m. :
