The wind was fresh from the N.-N.E. when the regatta 
committee, who were on the steam yacht Alvina, arrived 
at the starting line off Weeks' Point at 8:45 A. M., and 
the racing yachts flew out of the harbor with lee rails 
awash. As the wind was dead ahead and the tide flood, 
the yachtsmen were prepared' for a long hard windward 
race. 
The preparatory signal' was sounded at 9 o'clock, and 
ten minutes later, or at 9:10, the small sloops were 
started, with Spasm leading, closely followed by 
Aspirant, Altair, Pohtatuck, Pellegrina, and Irolita, in the 
order .named. The larger sloops and yawls were sent 
away at 9:15. Neola was the first across on the port 
tack, with Virgin a in second place followed closely by 
the Yankee and Sybarita. Rainbow, with Rear-Commo- 
dore Cornelius Vanderbilt at the wheel, came next, and 
as he swung Rainbow on the starboard tack he was able 
to force Sybarita and Yankee about. Rainbow then took 
the port tack once more, and headed in toward the 
Long Island shore after Neola. Weetamoe was handi- 
capped 36s. and Queen Mab over 6m. 
The small schooners were sent off at 9:20, with Val- 
more in the lead. Then came Loyal, Katrina, Chanti- 
cleer, Latona, and Crusader. Corona led the big two- 
stickers across at 9:25, with Emerald and Constellation 
in close attendance. The auxiliaries were sent away on 
the same signal; Cacique was first, followed by Verge- 
mere, Atlantic, Intrepid, Ariadne, and Idler. After cross- 
ing the line, the boats made a few short hitches and then 
split up into two divisions as the wind got lighter, one 
going over to the New York or Connecticut shore and 
the other keeping close to the Long Island side to keep 
out of the tide. The schooners Loyal, Katrina, Valmore, 
and Latona were well out in the Sound, while Atlantic, 
which had worked right across Vergemere's bow, was 
leading the auxiliaries on the north shore. Off Centre 
Island at 10 o'clck the Yankee was leading, but her 
owner, thinking there was a better breeze on the north 
shore, stood across the Sound, followed by Sybarita. 
These two boats were making a pretty fight, and Yankee 
seemed to be more than' holding her own in the light 
breeze. 
Rainbow and Neola were having a nip and tuck race 
for the honor of leading the south shore division, while 
the Weetamoe dropped further and further behind, so 
that Mr. Lippitt finally decided to try his luck with 
Yankee, and took Weetamoe over to the north shore. 
When off Stamford, Yankee crossed the Sybarita's bow, 
while Virginia was third, nearly a mile astern, and then 
came Weetamoe and the schooners. 
The south shore boats got a better breeze off the Long 
Island shore, and were soon leading the fleet. Neola, 
which was sailed very cleverly, finally weathered Rain- 
bow off_ Huntington Harbor, where they caught quite 
a nice little breeze and left the other boats far astern. 
In Smithtown Bay Rainbow regained her lead, after a 
hot fight. The wind was very light in the middle and 
north side of the Sound, and off Oldfield Point "Sybarita 
and Yankee recrossed the Sound and were nearly two 
miles astern of the leaders. 
The yachts then worked the Long Island shore, and 
Mr. Maxwell, who took advantage of every puff, suc- 
ceeded finally in pulling up within hailing distance with 
Yankee. Air 2 -.30 the leaders stood over toward the 
Connecticut shore when off Stratford Shoal Light. 
Yankee stood inshore about this time, and as Rainbow 
followed her in, Neola took the lead once more, with 
the Sybarita in close attendance. At 3 o'clock Neola 
stood inshore again, while Sybarita took the offshore 
tack, and at 3:15 was rewarded by running into a fresh 
breeze, which had hauled more to the E. As a result, 
Sybarita was able to lay her course to the finish line off 
the outer breakwater at New Haven, and the Brokaw 
yawl led the entire fleet into Morris Cove, finishing at 
3-'33:2S. Rainbow, Neola, and Yankee got the shift a 
few moments later, but they were so far to the north- 
ward that they had to make a hitch out before they could 
fetch. Rainbow was the second boat to finish a winner 
in her- class at 3:45:56, twelve minues after Sybarita, 
while Neola was timed at 3:46:58, and Yankee at 3 -.47 -.24 ; 
Queen Mab was timed at 4:09:21; Virginia, 5:25:19; 
Loyal, 5:39:45; Weetamoe, 5:42:06; Atlantic, 5:43:58;

6:24:30; Altair, 6:29:26. While no official results are 
given out by the regatta committee, the winners are prob- 
ably Spasm, Aspirant, Neola, Rainbow, Loyal, Chanti- 
cleer, Corona, Atlantic, and Constellatio:

The navy challenge cups for sloops and schooners sail- 
ing in one class are probably won by the Neola and 
Loyal. 
Saturday, August 13— Morris Cove to New London, 39 
Miles. 
The wind was light from the E.-S.E. when the yachts 
slowly made their way out of New Haven harbor on 
Saturday morning, which meant another hard 39-mile 
beat if the weather conditions did not change. The pre- 
paratory signal barked out at 9:10 o'clock, and the small 
sloops were sent away at 9:20. Mr. Addison Hanan, as 
usual, had berthed Aspirant in a good position, and the 
43-footer led the fleet over the line, with Altair just 
under her lee. Then came Spasm, Pohtatuck, and Irolita, 
with Pellegrina handicapped over 6m. The larger sloops 
came next at 9:25, Weetamoe and Neola crossing almost 
with the gun, with the Lippitt boat to windward, while 
Sybarita and Yankee were handicapped 3m., Virginia 3m. 
30s., Rainbow 4m., and Queen Mab 6m. The small 
schooners followed at 9:30, and all were handicapped. 
Chanticleer was the first away, and then came Crusader 
II., Katrina, Valmore, and Latona, while Loyal, which 
had to tack on the line, was fully 15m. after the handicap 
gun. Emerald was the only one of the big schooners 
not handicapped at 9 :3s, and then came the Constellation, 
Corona, Intrepid, Endymion, Atlantic, Idler, and Verge- 
mere, the two last named having to make an extra hitch 
m the light air before they could clear the committee 
boat. 
Virginia, when Yankee was blanketed by Sybarita, got 
the lead momentarily, but she only held command for 
a few moments before Yankee drew by her again. As on 
Friday, the fleet divided into two divisions, one hug- 
ging close to the Connecticut shore and the other cross- 
ing over toward the Long Island or south shore in search 
of a breeze. 
On the north shore off Branford . Beacon at 10 :4s, 
Aspirant still held her lead, with Altair, Weetamoe. Sy- 
barita, Neola, Rainbow, Yankee, Queen Mab, Virginia, 
Spasm, Pohtatuck, Atlantic, and Endymion following in 
the order named, while offshore were the Constellation, 
Chanticleer, Corona, Latona, Intrepid, Valmore, Katrina, 
Emerald, and Loyal. Off. the Thimble Islands at 11 
o'clock, Weetamoe passed Aspirant, with Altair in third 
place; then came Yankee, Sybarita, Rainbow, Virginia, 
and Neola. Sybarita, taking the port tack , offshore, 
crossed Rainbow's bows; Virginia and Neola also tacked 
away from the shore. All three ran into the full strength 
of the westerly tide and lost considerable ground. At 
11:20 Yankee, tacking out, crossed Altair and Aspirant, 
the latter having hit a rock while close under the shore. 
Off Sachem's Head, Yankee had come up on Weetamoe's 
weather quarter, and by the time they reached Faulkner's 
Island they were very nearly abeam, with Yankee to 
windward. After passing this point, both ran into a soft 
spot. Yankee, furthest out, suffered more from the tide. 
Weetamoe' took: a Tittle better breeze further inshore 
was soon out far ahead. Aspirant to leeward of Altair 
was favored in like manner, and passed the latter. Rain- 
bow had passed both of these yachts and was now in 
third position. About 2 o'clock the wind increased a lit- 
tle, and as it freshened it hauled a little more to the S., 
until it settled steady from the S.E. Weetamoe caught 
the strength of this breeze first, and she . drew further 
ahead. She passed Cornfield Lightship at 2 109. Yankee 
rounded the lightship 10m. later, while behind her came 
Rainbow. Altair, which had passed Aspirant, came next 
at 2 :32 ; then Aspirant at 2 -.33. These five yachts were 
far in advance of the rest of the Connecticut shore divi- 
sion. The positions of Virginia and Sybarita were, un- 
certain, as both had tacked across to the south side of 
the Sound, hunting for flukes. The yachts could now lay 
their course to Bartlett's Reef Lishtship, and then, with 
the wind almost abeam, the yachts made fast time to the 
finish line off Sarah's Ledge. Virginia and Sybarita, 
which had stood far to the southwest, now came across 
the Sound with started sheets. Weetamoe held her lead 
to the finish, with Yankee second and Rainbow third. 
Next came Corona, leading the schooner classes, while 
Valmore led the small two-stickers, and Atlantic the 
auxiliaries^ . Summary :

: Sunday, Aug. 14, at New London. 
When the New York Y. C. fleet arrived at New Lon- 
don yesterday .'.afternoon they found the NortlfAtlantie 
Squadron, consisting of battleship Texas, the monitors 
Florida, Arkansas, and Nevada ; the gunboat Chesapeake, 
and the torpedo boat JStandish at anchor : in the outer 
harbor. . The. grim, white- walled war ships and the dainty 
fleet qf pleasure craft iormed quite a contrast as they lay 
side by side, and the yachtsmen were made welcome by 
Unde Sam's officers when they visited the war ships,
