when they ran to the mark off Hempstead Harbor, atid 
for a time the boats were almost becalmed. On the sec-

drew weh into the lead and finished with minutes to

Wednesday, July 23. 
Tuesday was Ladies' Day, and during the afternoon the 
launch, gig and dinghy races were held. 
Wednesday proved to be the most unsatisfactory day 
of the week,' as the wind, which blew from the N. at the 
start, died away and for two hours some of the boats 
were becalmed, while others got a little air from the 
S.W. that seemed to hold in the middle of the Sound, and 
this enabled them to draw up on the leading boats. In 
several cases boats were not able to finish within the 
time limit, one-half hour after sundown. 
The first leg of the course for the larger boats was 
E.N.E., three miles; the second, S. three and seven- 
eighths miles, and the last, N.W. There was really^ no 
windward work. 
The first leg was a close reach on the port taek, the 
second a run with spinnakers to port and the ;{hird a 
close reach on the starboard tack. 
The three 70-footers started at 11 ;35, and all got away 
on the port tack, with Mineola ahead. On the reach to 
the first mark in the puffy wind, first one boat 'Wpuld 
be favored, then another. Mineola rounded the mSrk 
first with Yankee next and Rainbow last. On th.e"j:un 
to the next mark, off Red Springs, spinnakers were- car- 
ried to port. Yankee got .slightly in the lead and at the 
second mark was one second ahead , of Mineola. 
It was a close reach across the . Sound, and 
Mineola carried a reaching jib topsail while the other 
two boats carried baby jib topsails. In the light air 
Mineola did much better with this sail, and at the end of 
the first round was ahead by over half a minufe, At the 
first mark on the second round the boats were all hunched, 
there being only ten s?con4s between the thrge, 
nakers were set fof the run to the next mark; ballooners 
were set on Mineola and Rainbow, and these seemed to 
do more harm than good, as Yankee passed both of them. 
After being becalmed for some time, the boats got a 
little air that enabled them to round the mark. Spin- 
nakers were set to port and Mineola finished first, with 
Yankee second, while Rainbow was far astern. These 
boats were to have sailed three times over the course, bun 
were stopped at the end of the second round. 
Elmina and Muriel started at xx -.40 in the order nameu- 
Several times Muriel drew up on her competitor, but the 
fickk breeze favored Elmina, and she finally finished ai 
winner by over three minutes. 
Neola and Weetamoe again met. Neola had the best 
of the start. Neola got away from Weetamoe rapidly, and 
2t the end of the first round was ahead by nearly fourteen 
minutes. On the second round Neola got becalmed when 
near the Red Springs buoy, and lay there for a long time. 
Weetamoe still carrying along a little breeze- with her and 
nearly caught up with Neola. However, this boat finally 
got a slight breeze that enabled her to round the mark 
and work slowly over to the finish line, which she crossed 
a little while before the time limit expired. Weetamoe 
did not finish. 
In the 65ft. schooner class Miladi beat Gevaha on every 
point of sailing. The latter was not able to finish within 
the time limit. 
Mira lost the race in the 43ft. class through the fickle- 
ness of the wind. She got a beautiful .start, being right 
on the line at gunfire with lots of headway on. At times 
Challenge was reasonably close to Mira, but never dan- 
gerously so. At the beginning of the second round Dor- 
wina and Effort were nearly a leg behind Mira and Chal- 
lenge was also well astern of her. On the second leg 
of the course Mira ran out of the breeze and lay becalmed,, 
vdiile Effort and Challenge still held some wind and 
passed her. Dorwina did not finish within the time limit.. 
Challenge won handily. . • 
None of the boats in the 36ft. class finished within the 
time limit. The same was true of the 30ft. class, 
The yawls Term and Spindrift were in collision before 
the start, and Tern's bowsprit was carried away. ' 
There was a close race in the raceabout class, Indian 
winning, beating Hobo 36s. Scamp finished third. 
Snapper won in the 25ft. class by over fifteen minutes. 
Pixie was second. 
Microbe and Marguerite were disqualified for fouling 
the mark boat at the start. Firefly also was discjualified for 
booming her jib out on the run home to the finish line.
