Astor Cups—Newport, Aug. 8. 
The Astor cup races were sailed in light winds, and 
the results were unsatisfactory to all but the winners 
Humma and Elmina were the successful yachts, and the 
element of luck entered so largely in the contests that 
they were spoiled from a sportsman’s point of view. 
Early in the morning there was a breeze from the north¬ 
west, but this died away, and the racers had to be towed 
out to the line. There it was flat, and for some time 
the committee waited while the steamers formed a circle 
around the lightship and the sailing craft just drifted. 
Then a light air came from the southwest and the Block 
Island course was signalled. This course is 13% miles 
S.W. Vs W. to a mark one mile E. of Block Island 
buoy, then 18 miles N.E. by E. % E. to a mark 2 miles 
S.W. by W. of West Island Light, and then 6% miles 
W. by N. Va N. to Brenton’s Reef Lightship. The warn¬ 
ing signal was made at 11 o’clock, and the sloops were sent 
away at 11:10. Few got over the line before the handi¬ 
cap. These were Gardenia at 11.10.01; Humma at 11.10.40; 
Neola II., at 11.10.58; Dahinda at 11.11.00; Phryne at 
11.11.32; Doris at 11.11.37, and Weetamoe at 11.11.46. The 
others were Vigilant, Rainbow, Yankee, Neola, Irolita, 
Effort, Isolde, Cara Mia. The schooners started at 
11.15.00. Muriel was first away at 11.16.20, and Queen at 
11.16.41. The others were handicapped and crossed as 
follows: Elmina, Corona, Venona. All went over on 
the port tack, and some tacked at once to get clear of 
the procession. Very soon Phryne had taken a good 
lead and was standing in toward the Narragansett shore, 
followed by Gardenia, Weetamoe, Neola, Yankee, Vigi¬ 
lant and Corona. The others all stood out to sea on 
the starboard tack. Phryne held her lead until well 
down to Point Judith, and then Gardenia passed her 
and she in turn was passed by Weetamoe. Yankee then 
took the lead, and the wind having freshened, she made 
the most of it and gained considerably on the rest of 
the beat out. The times taken at the first mark were 
as follows: Yankee, 1.58.10; Vigilant, 2.00.55; Weetamoe, 
2.06.50; Rainbow. 2.11.50; Corona, 2.12.58; Neola, 2.14.00; 
Humma, 2.14.47; Elmina, 2.15.01; Queen, 2.15.48;
