New Rochelle Y. C. 
NEW ROCHELLE, LONG ISLAND SOUND, 
Saturday, May 28. 
The New RoChelle Y. C. opened the racing on Long 
Island Sonnd by holding a regatta on Saturday, May 28. ■ 
There were eighteen starters, and in some of the classes 
the racing was very close. 
A fresh westerly breeze gave life to the contests. The 
boats sailed over a 4i'2-mile triangular course, the start 
Ijeirig-made ott Echo Bay. The first mark was the black 
spot buoy cff Execution, the second the red spar on Hen 
and Cliickens, and back to the starting line. 
Chewink JL had no competitor in the 30ft. class, \)ut 
she took a walk over and covered the course three times. 
In the 25ft. class the racing was not interesting, for 
although there were three starters, Kenosha had matters 
all her own way, and beat her two competitors easily. 
Grasshopper, the Huntington-designed raceabout that 
did not show up very well last year, came to the line in 
improved form, and beat Rogue, the second boat, by the 
close margin of three seconds. 
Four of the new Indian Harbor Y. C. one-design boats 
started. These boats were built last winter from designs 
by Mr. Morgan Barney. This is the first time these boats 
have met, and Wa Wa finished a winner by one second. 
Owatanna was second. 
There were four starters in the Larchmont Y. C. one- 
design class. Dorothy lost her bowsprit at the end of the 
first round and retired to the harbor, where repairs were 
made. 
In the Marihasset Bay one-design class there were only 
two starters. Arizona beat Wister with ease. Mr. Duns- 
tan Farnum is a newcomer in this class, and he will show 
up better when he gets more accustomed to his boat. 
Ace beat Agawam II. by over six minutes in the New ■ 
Rochelle one-design class. Agawam II. broke the- jaws 
of her gaff, which accounts for her indifferent showing.. 
The regatta committee was naade up of Messrs. G. P.. 
Cranberry, R. N, Bavier, D. W. Thomas, M. S. Kater- 
born, and E. B. Wright,
