Larchmont Y. C. Race Week. 
LARCHMOJ^T, I.ON-C ISLAND SOUND, 
Monday, July 6; 
On Monday the second of the series races was held at 
Larchmont, and thirty-six boats started in the different 
classes. It proved to be a very unsatisfactory racing day, 
for the wind was light and variable. There was a nice 
S. W breeze at the time of the start, but before the boats 
had finished the first round it had veered around to N. W. 
From this time on it was very light and fluky, and be- 
fore the boats finished it was back to S. W. again. 
The preparatory was given promptly at 11:30, and five 
minutes later boats in classes I and J were started. They 
sailed twice over a fifteen-mile triangle. Weetamoe had 
all the luck, and at the end of the first round Nedla was 
so far behind that she was withdrawn. The bronze boats 
Neola and Weetamoe were sailing against the English 
boats Eelin and Isolde. On the second round Weetamoe 
got becalmed and was passed by both Eelin and Isolde. 
Eelin won from Isolde by less than three minutes. 
Aspirant and Mimosa II. met again in the special class. 
The latter boat stood too far in toward Matinicock Point 
and went aground. She was towed off, and on examina- 
tion was found to be uninjured. The race committee 
stopped Aspirant at the end of the first round, as she had 
no competitor. 
In the regular 43ft. class, Effort won again easily from 
Mira and Challenge. Hebe, the fourth starter in this 
class, withdrew. 
Flosshilde had no competitor, so she went up a class 
and sailed against Spasm and Anoatok. Flosshilde did 
not finish, and Anoatok won with ease. This boat is sail- 
ing in great form this year, and is sweeping everything 
before her. 
Three of the Larchmont 21ft. one-design boats started, 
and Dorothy won, Houri finishing second. 
Hope beat Spoonbill and Lively in the C. F. Herreshoff 
one-design class. Spoonbill got second money. 
There was a good list of starters in the raceabout class, 
some eight boats crossing the line. Hobo won and Jolly 
Tar was second. 
Arizona and Bob had a close race in the Manhasset 
one-design class, and the latter won by a narrow margin.

Tuesday, July 7. 
On Tuesday the launch, gig and dinghy races were held. 
There was also a match race between Effort and Chal- 
lenge, the two 43-footers. These boats were to sail twice 
over a triangular course, but the race was called off at the 
end of the first round owing to the lack of breeze. The 
race will be resailed after the New York Y. C. cruise. 
The day was an ideal one for the small boat races, there 
being but little wind and the water was quite smooth. 
The launch belonging to the schooner Atlantic won the 
race for boats over 21ft. long. The gig belonging to the 
schooner Sachem, won the race for the Hen and Chickens 
colors. The schooner Crusader's gig won the Dauntless 
colors, and the yawl Paladin's gig won the Executive 
colors. The summaries :

Wednesday, July 9. 
The race on Wednesday was marked by a fairly good 
list of starters, but the breeze was almost too light to 
make the racing interesting. The breeze was so light at 
II :30 that the regatta committee decided to postpone the 
start until noon. At this time there was a little air from 
the west, but soon worked around to W. S. W., 
and remained in that quarter the balance of the day. The 
boats in class I. sailed twice over a fifteen-mile triangle. 
The rest of the boats covered an eleven-mile triangle, the 
largest of them going around twice. 
Weetamoe got the start and again defeated Neola 
handily. The latter boat had trouble with her steering 
gear and was forced to sitbstitute a tiller for a wheel. 
The bronze boats Weetamoe and Neola had_ no trouble 
beating the English boats Isolde and Eelin in the light 
breeze, and Eelin beat Isolde. 
Effort, sailed by Mr. Hazen Morse, had things her own 
way as the only competitor that is at all dangerous. Chal- 
lenge broke her throat halliards and withdrew. 
Owing to her sails being in bad shape Aspirant came 
very near losing her first race to Mimosa II. The Crown- 
inshield production did better than the Gardner boat on 
all points of sailing on the first round, and she had a 
lead of 2m. 5s. On the second round some changes were 
made in Aspirant's sails under direction of Mr. Wm. 
Gardner, her designer, who was on board, and she then 
outsailed Mimosa II. handily. The fir.st leg of the course 
was a spinnaker run, and Aspirant cut down Mimosa's 
lead and established an overlap before reaching the mark. 
Mimosa II. had to give room at the mark, and Aspirant 
rounded inside of her and from that time on she con- 
tinued to get away from her, and finished a winner by 
3m. 58s. 
In class M Anoatok scored another decisive victory. 
She beat Spasm, the second boat, by 12m. 33s. Leda 
was beaten by Breeze, one of the Newport special 
thirties. 
Tern beat Sakana, her only rival in the yawl class, with 
the greatest ease. 
Alert had matters all her own way in class N, and she 
beat Flosshilde without difficulty. 
Hope again took a first prize in the C. F. Herreshoff 
one-design class. Liyely was second and Spoonbill was 
last. 
In class P. Chingachgook finished first by nearly 8m., 
but lost on corrected time to Snapper. 
Dorothy proved too smart for Houri in the Larch- 
mont 2ift. one-design class and won easily. 
Eight boats started in the raceabout class, and all fin- 
ished. Hobo finished an easy winner with Jolly Tar 
second. 
There were only two starters in class Q, and Montauk 
beat Gazabo by 12m. 12s. 
Three of the New Rochelle one-design boats came to 
the line. Miss Anne Bavier's Ace beat Knave Sm. 27s. 
Bab beat the other three competitors in the Manhasset 
Baj'- one-design class. 
Pandora was alone in class R, and she sailed over the 
course alone. 
Gosling beat Scud in the Hempstead Harbor class, and 
Ripple beat Arrow in the Horseshoe Harbor one-design 
class. 
Six of the Pel ham Bay Larks started and all but one 
finished. Flirt beat Skidoo im. 40s. These boats covered 
a five and one-half mile triangle. The summaries:

Thursday, July 9. 
The racing on Thursday proved to be most unsatis- 
factory and the boats that won were in almost every in- 
stance favored by the wind, what little there was of it. 
The race committee was forced to stop the boats at the 
end of the first round, as there was not air enough to 
send the boats around twice. The start was delayed an 
hour, and at 12 :30 the boats were sent awa}'. At this time 
I here was a very light W. N. W. breeze, but this dropped 
when the boats were on the second leg of the course, and 
from that time on the boats worked their way around the 
course by the aid of light puffs that drew off the Long 
Island shore. 
The course was from the starting line to and around 
the spar buoy off Parsonage Point, thence to and around 
the spar buoy off Red Springs Point and back to the 
finish line. 
Weetamoe got the start in her class and she finally beat 
Neola by 14m. lis. Neola and Eelin got pocketed under 
the Long Island shore when near tlie Red Spring mark, 
and were a very long time in rounding. 
Challenge won in her class, beating Effort 4m. 36s., but 
Mr. Hazen Morse, who sailed Effort, protested Challenge 
for fouling Effort when nearing the Red Spring buoy. 
The race committee disqualified Challenge. 
Aspirant, splendidly handled, again distinguished her- 
self not only by beating Mimosa II., but by finishing 
ahead of every boat in the fleet that sailed the ten and 
three-quarter mile triangle. 
Anoatok beat Spasm by only im. 553., but the latter 
boat had the best of the luck. 
Flosshilde had only one competitor in class N, and 
she gets the race, as Little Peter withdrew. 
The three boats in the C. F. Herreshoff one-design 
class were the last boats to finish. Lively won easily. 
Snapper gave Chingachgook a good beating in class P. 
Houri fouled Dorothy at the start in the Larchmont 
2ift. one-design class, and the former boat was disquali- 
fied. Adelaide won in this class. 
Grasshopper got her first race in the raceabout class. 
She beat Indian, the second boat, iim. 42s. Grasshopper 
was the first boat to finish among those who covered the 
short course. 
Lambkin won in the Manhasset Bay one-design class, 
beating Bab im. 23s. The summary:
