OYSTER BAY — LONG ISLAND SOUND. 
Thursday, June 27. 
No 5'acht club in recent years has had three consecutive 
days of such successful racing as the last days of last 
week. Each day was marked by a large entry list and 
fine weather with good sailing breezes. 
Thursday, June 27, the first of the three days' racing, 
opened with exceptionally fine weather conditions, with a 
whole sail breeze from the W.S.W.. which held until the 
boats were on the second round of the course, when it 
dropped considerably and hauled to the S. and freshened 
up considerably. 
The courses were triangular, the first leg being a reach, 
with the wind on the port side. The second leg was a 
run, with spinakers carried to starboard, and thej third 
leg was a beat. Each triangle was sailed twice around, 
the schooners, yawls and 51-footers sailing 231^2 miles ji^e 
30 and 36ft. classes, 16^ miles ; the raceabouts and knoS<- 
abouts, 13^ miles, and the Manhasset raceabouts and 21- 
footers, S% miles. 
The preparatory signal was at 12:30 o'clock, and five 
minutes later the yawls were sent off. Vigilant leading 
at the windward end and Ailsa being at the leeward end 
of the line. Vigilant was soon in the lead, which she 
held to the finish. Vigilant jibed around the first mark 
40s. in the lead of Ailsa. Vigilant did her best when 
reaching and running, and Ailsa made a better showing on 
windward work. Vigilant gradually increased her lead 
and finished first by im. and 31s. 
In the 75ft. class for schooners. Elmina, Quisetta and 
Muriel started. Elmina and Quisetta fought it out again, 
and Elmina won by im. and 25s. Elmina was protested 
by Qui.'^«»*-ta for forcing her to give way when close 
hauled on the starboard tack. It is unfortunate that gen- 
tlemen who are in yacht racing for the sport of the thing 
should not observe the rules of the road. As this has 
happened several times so far this season, and boats 
»jontinue on their course when they haven't the right d 
.?ay. there will be some collisions before the season endi 
Altair and Humma met again, and the tormer Doat 
mailed a fine race and crossed the finish line a winner. 
In the 36ft. class Leda led all over the course and won 
from O'Shima San. ' Oiseau won in the 30ft. class, and 
Badger added another win to her long list of victories.

Friday, June 28. 
The second day's racing at Oyster Bay was marred by 
collisions and protests. 
As the schooners of the 75ft. class were reaching down 
to the starting line Muriel went afoul of Quisetta and 
punched a hole in her mainsail. Quisetta was at the 
windward end of the line and Muriel in her wake to lee- 
ward. As Quisetta was to cross before the starting signal 
her helmsman luffed her and finally brought her about on 
the starboard tack. Muriel could not clear Quisetta and 
her bowsprit went through the latter's mainsail. As no 
serious damage had been done, both boats crossed and 
started around the course. Elmina and Amorita had in 
the meantime started, and were well in the lead. A light 
breeze was blowing from the W., which made it a reach to 
the first mark. The second leg was a run with booms to 
starboard and booms to port. Owing to the haze and the 
small marks used by the Seawanhaka Corinthian Y. C, 
most of the boats overstood the stakeboats. At the first 
mark Elmina was in the lead, and she jibed over to reach 
the mark. Muriel followed suit, as did Quisetta. As 
Quisetta was to leeward. Mr. Lippitt luffed up under 
Amorita' s stern in order to get a windward berth. When 
passing Amorita that yacht jibed and her boom caught in 
Quisetta' s topmast stay and her bowsprit snapped off at 
the gammon iron. Soon after her fore topmast broke off 
and she was more or less of a wreck. As Amorita's boom 
had been damaged, she withdrew and hoisted a protest 
flag. Elmina now had only Muriel to beat, which she did 
with ease. 
In the yawl class the race was uninteresting, as Ailsa 
was late in starting, and she never headed Vigilant over 
the course, which boat won by 4m. and 8s. 
Mira got the best of the start in the 43ft. class, and was

m the lead at the end of the first round. At the second 
mark on the second round. Effort, Mira's only competitor, 
established an overlap and called for room. Mr. Irving 
Zerega, who was sailing Mira,, claims he gave room, but 
Mira was fouled by Effort. Mira protested Effort. 'The
