left her mooring to go to the starting line it was foUtld 
that the steward who had been ill for some time needed 
medical assistance, so there was considerable delay in 
gettittg him ashore. Isolde was handicapped over seven 
minutes, and even then cut down Katrina's lead on the 
windward work, but on the two reaching legs on each 
found the schooner with her big main topmast staysail 
would get away from the cutter in the light breeze. 
Neok and Weetamoe had another good race. Weeta- 
moe led over the starting line by a few seconds, but Neola 
with good headway on drove through Weetamoe's lee. 
She did not hold her lead very long, and at the first 
mark Weetamoe was some little distance ahead. This 
lead she improved on the two reaching legs, and at the 
end of the first round was over one minute ahead. Wee- 
tamoe continued to leave her competitor and won by 
7m. 49s. 
The 43-footers sailed twice over the same triangle that 
the big boats covered three times. Mira did not race, as 
her owner was away. This left Dorwina, Effort and Chal- 
lenge to fight the race out. Dorwina was first to start, 
and after a close race won by the narrow margin of 12s. 
In the 25ft. class Mimosa turned tables on Marguerite, 
beating her with the greatest ease. 
Mavis won in the raceabout class, beating Hobo 2m. 
32s. Four boats started. 
Lambkin again won in the Manhasset raceabout class. 
She beat Mist 2m. 46s. In the New Rochelle raceabout 
class Kjiave beat Ace im. 42s. 
Four boats started in the American Y. C. one-design 
class, and after a close race Rascal beat Jolly Tar 36s.

Saturday, July 26. 
Saturday, the last day of race week, proved to be one 
filled with surprises and popular victories. The most 
prominent of these was Muriel's success. Mr. Charles 
Smithers, owner of Muriel, has for two seasons sailed Lis 
own boat against Elmina, while the latter has been 
handled by one of the cleverest professionals in An erica, 
Capt. Dennis. Heretofore Muriel has not been successful, 
but on Saturday it seemed as if Mr. Smithers had solved 
the problem and knew just what to do, for he won the 
race handily. When Muriel finished a winner, all the 
steam yachts in the vicinity blew prolonged blasts from 
their whistles, and cheers were given from the boats in 
the fleet. So enthusiastic was the greeting it reminded 
one of the finish of an America's Cup race. 
When the preparatory signal was given at 11:30 the 
wind was E.N.E., and blowing a good sailing breeze, and 
it held true throughout the race. The course for all boats 
over 30ft.. racing length, was E.N.E. 3 miles, then S. 3^3 
miles, then N.W. 3% miles. The schooners and 60 and 70 
footers sailed three times around this triangle, making 
32J4 miles, while the others went around twice, making 
2iy2 miles. 
When the 70-footers were sent away at 11:35 they all 
came down to the line on the starboard tack. Rainbow 
worked around the mark boat, with Mineola under her 
lee, and as they Crossed Yankee was swung on Rain- 
bow's weather. All three boats stood in along the shore 
as long as possible, and then Mineola and Yankee made 
a long tack out into the Sound, while Rainbow made short 
hitches along the beach. At the first mark Rainbow was 
nearly a minute ahead of Mineola. On the reach to the 
next mark Rainbow increased her lead. All gybed at this 
mark, and on the next leg Mineola picked up on Rain- 
bow a little. On the first leg of the second round 
Yankee worked, the shore and caught Mineola, Rainbow 
was still ahead at the mark. At the end of the second 
round Rainbow was nearly two minutes ahead of Yan- 
kee. Mineola did not do well on windward work on the 
third round, but on the two reaching legs she picked 
Yankee up considerably and they had a hot fight up to the 
finish for second place. 
When the schooners started at 11 :40 Elmina was a 
shade in -the lead. Both were on the starboard tack, but 
Muriel took a port tack immediately after crossing, in 
order to get clear of Elmina. When Muriel took the 
starboard tack again she crossed Elmina's bows, and from 
that time on Elmina never troubled her. At the weather 
m.ark Muriel was nearly two minutes in the lead. On 
the reaching legs Elmina came up a little, but was never 
dangerous. Muriel continued to make slight gains up to 
the time of the finish, when she was 2m. 36s, ahead. 
Taking off the I7s._ that she allows Elmina, she won by 
2m. 19s. corrected time. 
The cutter Isolde and the schooner Katrina again went 
in a special class. I.^olde beat \v:r on every point of .?a I- 
iug, and after the first round the race was devoid of 
irterest. The showing made by Isolde with the new 
brcnze sixties was really remarkable. Isolde, with her 
very small rig, nearly held the new boats with their 
large rigs on almost every point of sailing. 
The sixties, Weetamoe and Neola, again sailed another 
close race. Weetamoe had rather the better of the start, 
and after numerous short tacks under the shore, rounded 
the weather mark a minute ahead. Weetamoe increased 
her lead slightly as the race progressed, and won by a 
good margin. 
The race in the 43ft. class could not have been closer 
without having it a tie, as Mira won by is. corrected 
time. Effort was sailed by Mr. Addison Hanan and Mira 
by Mr. A; H. W. Johnson. Effort finished first, but had 
to allow Mira 4m. 33s. Challenge finished third and Dor- 
wina last. 
In the 30ft. class Alerion finished ahead. Both Alerion 
and Mimosa protested each other for a foul 'that occurred 
on one of the marks on the second round. 
In the raceabout class Sis won ; Hobo finished in sec- 
ond place, and Mr. Bucham, who sailed the boat, pro- 
tested Whistlewing and Pompillia for trying to force him 
when close hauled on the starboard tack. If the protest 
is upheld the race may be resailed.

for it was hardly more than a drift all over the course. 
The course chosen was from Brenton's Cove to Codding- 
ton's Cove, five miles to leeward and return. Carolina 
won by gm. The summary, start 3:40:
