LARCHMONTj LONG ISLAND SOUND. 
Saturday, Aug. 30. 
There were only seven starters in the special race given 
hy the Larchmont Y. C. on Saturday, Aug. 30. 
EIniina did not materialize and Mr. Charles Smithers, 
owner of Muriel, not wishing to take a sailover, did not 
start. The tAvo 6oft. sloops Weetamoe and Neola are both 
down east preparing for the races to be given by the New- 
port Y. R. A. Yankee and Rainbow were the only 70- 
footers to start, Mineola having been laid up. 
As there was no Avind at 12 o'clock, the time the race 
was to have started, it was postponed until 12 :30. In 
the meantime a nice S.W. breeze sprung up, which held 
all through the race. The course for the 70-footers was 
east three-quarters north, six miles; southwest, five- 
eighths west, six miles, and north northwest three miles, 
which triangle was sailed twice, making thirty miles. The 
43-footers went east four miles, southwest four miles and 
north northwest three miles, the circuit of eleven miles 
being sailed twice, making twenty-two miles, while the 
Larchmont 21-footers covered a Sj4-mile triangle twice. 
The first leg was a reach, the second on the wind and the 
third a run. 
The preparatory signal was given at 12 :30, and the 
seventies started five minutes later. Rainbow was first 
over the line, but Yankee was just on her weather quar- 
ter. On the reach to the first mark. Rainbow drew ahead 
a little, but on the windward work Yankee worked 
through Rainbow's lee and at the second mark .she was 
im. i8s. in the lead. On the run across the Sound, Rain- 
bow set her spinnaker, but it did more harm than good. 
Yankee stuck to her ballooner and continued to get away 
from Rainbow, and at the end of the first round she was 
2m. 57s. ahead. On the first leg of the second round 
Rainbow cut down Yankee's lead somewhat. On the 
windward work the boats' positions remained unchanged, 
and on the run across to the finish Yankee again gained a 
little and won by 2m. 37s. 
The 43-footers were started at 12 :40, Effort, cleverly 
handled by Mr. Addison G. Hanan, got the best of the 
start. Soon after starting these boats got in a luffing 
match, which resulted in Effort's favor. From this time 
on Effort continued to get away from Dorwina, and finally 
won by 4m. 6s. 
Three of the Larchmont 21-footers started and Adelaide 
had the best of it from the start and beat Dorothy, the 
second boat, by 4ra. 50s. The summary follows :

Monday, Sept. i. 
Fifty-two boats started in the fall regatta of the Larch- 
mont Y. C. sailed on Labor Day. The race was a great 
.srccess, and a good S.W. breeze held all through the day. 
The 70-footers sailed twice over a fifteen-mile triangle. 
The first leg was a reach of six miles, the second a beat of 
six miles and the third a reach of three miles. Yankee 
and Rainbow got away at 11 :35, the former a little in the 
lead, but to leeward. After a luffing match, which lasted a 
few minutes, the boats squared away on their course. 
Yankee immediately went to the front. Rainbow's sails 
have been fitting very badly ever since the New York 
Y. C. cruise, and should have been recut. This has been a 
great handicap to Rainbow, and accounts for the poor 
showing she has made, for she has been well sailed by 
Mr. E. A. Willard. Yankee beat Rainbow by 5m. 15s. 
In the 43ft. class Efifort, sailed again by Mr. Addison 
G. Hanan, gave Dorwina another bad beating. Dorwina 
has been poorly sailed of late, and that is why Effort has 
won with such great regularity. Dorwina was first across 
the starting line, but was soon passed by Effort, which 
boat was never again headed, and won by iim. 36s. The 
43-footers covered an eleven-mile triangle twice. 
Four boats started in the 36ft. class. Spasm got a good 
lead soon after the start, and to every one's surprise 
stayed in first place and beat Leda by 3m. 8s. 
In the 30ft. class Mimosa led all over the course, but 
lost the race on time allowance to Marguerite. 
Jolly Tar won in the raceabout class by im. 5s. In the 
Larchmont 21ft. class Dorothy won, beating Adelaide by 
155. Pristis beat Trouble in class I by 3m. 58s. Knave 
v/on by im. 53s. in the New Rochelle one-design class.

Indian Harbor Y. C. 
GREENWICH, CONN. 
Saturday, Aug. 30. 
The fall regatta of the Indian Harbor Y. C. was sailed 
on Saturday, Aug. 30. The race was scheduled to start 
at noon, but on that hour there was no breeze and the 
starting time was postponed until 1:30 P. M. At this 
hour a fresh S.W. breeze had come up and the prepara- 
tory signal was given. 
The 36ft. and 30ft. sloops sailed twice over a course 
from the .starting line, E. by N., 3% miles to the Cow's 
Can Buoy, off Shippan Point; thence S.W., ?/2 S.. 3^ 
miles, and thence to the starting line, N.W. by N., 2^4. 
miles, a total distance of 18 miles. The 21ft. and i8ft. 
sloops and the Manhasset and New Rochelle one-design 
boats went once over the same course, a distance of 9 
miles. The raceabouts and the 25ft. sloops went a dis- 
tance of 12 miles, twice over a course from the starting 
hne, E. by N., i^^ miles; thence S. 54 W., 2]/$ miles, and 
thence to the starting line, N.W. by N., 2j4 miles. The 
Indian Harbor sailabouts sailed once over the same course. 
The S.W. wind made the first leg of the course a broad 
reach, the second leg a beat to windward and the third a 
spinnaker run. 
The 36-footers were sent away at i :35, and three boats 
started, Leda, Spasm and Hanley ; the former crossed first 
in the weather berth and from that time on she was never 
headed. At the end of the first round Leda was 2m. 33s. 
ahead of Spasm, and she finally won, beating Spasm 3m. 
40S., and Hanley 3m. 34s. The special cup offered by 
Com. Frank Tilford goes to Leda. 
Four boats started in the 30ft. class. Mimosa, Mar- 
guerite, Alerion and Empronzi. Mimosa got the best 
start and led all over the course. Marguerite was second 
across the line with Alerion, and Empronzi some dis- 
tance behind. Alerion overtook Marguerite, but these 
tv\ o boats could not catch Mimosa. Empronzi broke down 
before the end of the first round and withdrew. On the 
second leg of the course Mimosa increased her lead and 
w^on by 2m. 35s. 
The four raceabouts had a close race. At the start 
they were well together, but Mavis and Jolly Roger soon 
got away from Hobo and Scamp. At the end of the first 
round Jolly Roger was only two seconds ahead of Mavi.s. 
On the second round Jolly Roger got away from Mavis a 
little and won by 15s. She beat Scamp and Hobo 3m. 36s. 
These boats sailed a dead heat. 
Some good racing was seen in the smaller classes. 
The Regatta Committee — Frank Bowne Jones, Charles 
F. Kirbjf, Charles P. Tower, Charles E. Simms, and Ray- 
m.ond Babcock — were on board Rear-Com. R. P. Whit-

A special regatta of the Indian Harbor Y. C. was held 
on Labor Day. There were seventeen starters in the 
handicap class, and four of the Indian Harbor sailabouts 
went over the course. 
^ The wind was moderate from the southwest. 
For yachts in the handicap race and for oyster 
sloops the course was to the gas buoy, off the 
eastern end of Little Captain Island, S,E. K S. 
i}i miles; thence to a club spar buoy placed J4 ile S.

Several boats met with accidents — Empronzi carried 
away her spreaders. Surprise parted her throat halHards. 
Crab, one of the contestants in the handicap class, shipped 
a big sea near one of the outer marks and was nearly 
swamped. Mr. J. M. Williams, owner of Louie Belle, ran 
alongside of Crab and took off her owner and a lady that 
v/ere on board, and sent them ashore. The boat was 
towed into the harbor. The finishes in the handicap class 
were very close. Robin Hood was a winner by ps. 
The Indian Harbor sailabouts had a good race, and 
Noggin won.
