made a mass of wrinkles of the big canvas, but 
Capt. Dennis had a sailor forward in no time and 
the sail was trimmed down in 20 seconds. 
The wind still held light and Mr. Adams de¬ 
termined to try more canvas. He broke out his 
small ballooner, and Capt. Dennis resorted to his 
big kite. A westward shift in the wind here gave 
both skippers a chance to ease sheets a bit and 
make a broader reach of it to the first mark. 
This was all in Vanitie's favor, and she made 
every foot of the journey count. In less than 
an hour’s sailing she lengthened out a lead of 
three-quarters of a mile. 
Even by changing to a bigger ballooner, Mr. 
Adams was unable to force Resolute up to the 
gait of the Cochran sloop. With the buoy in 
sight, Capt. Dennis gybed and reached it on the 
port tack, breaking out his staysail and keeping 
his ballooner set as he made the turn. This was 
at 12:22:41. Resolute followed the same tactics, 
dousing her ballooner and breaking out her 
single headsail and medium-sized jibtopsail as 
she turned at 12:27:10. 
Vanitie covered the first ten miles in 1:20:41, 
giving her a lead of 4 minutes and 29 seconds. 
She had only to hold this to win the race. For 
the second leg the wind began to haul from the 
southwest, and Vanitie set out with every pros¬ 
pect of holding her advantage. The sea was 
smooth, and for half the journey the positions 
remained unchanged. Both skippers laid a course 
well to windward of the second buoy, and as 
they neared it they eased sheets, and made a 
broad reach for the last two miles. It was here 
that the breeze began to desert the leader. It had 
showed signs of flukiness for the last half hour, 
and presently it faded. 
The Resolute began to climb up, carrying what 
little wind there was with her, cutting Vanitie’s 
lead to 1 minute and 27 seconds. 
Vanitie made the third turn at 1:32:4s, and 
Resolute at 1:34:12. The latter had picked up 3 
minutes and 2 seconds on this leg. 
Captain Dennis set out to windward on the 
port tack, with his staysail jib, and No. 1 jibtop¬ 
sail set. Resolute followed, but only for an in¬ 
stant. As soon as her single headsail and baby 
jib caught the airs, Adams threw her helm 
about and took a short hitch to windward. On 
rounding the mark he was right in the wake of 
the leader, and so close that Vanitie’s sails were 
spilling their breeze into his. Skipper Adams 
pulled it over Capt. Dennis right here by splitting 
tack, on every one of which he gained on Vanitie, 
finally crossing her bows, and for the first time 
during the race leading the bronze beauty, but a 
few minutes later Vanitie again was leading. 
Neither sloop could fetch the line without a 
short hitch to starboard, and each came about 
again just as the committee boat was cleared. 
Vanitie shot over the mark at 3 : 17 : 37 . 
THIRD RACE. 
Resolute again defeated Vanitie over a thirty 
mile triangular course off Sandy Hook. She 
walked away from Vanitie from the start, and 
what was surprising lost only 22 seconds on the 
second leg, which was a broad reach. The Van¬ 
itie gained 58 seconds on the last leg. 
The Resolute’s time was very fast, 3 hours 23 
minutes 12 seconds. Only twice in races for the 
America’s Cup has this been beaten. The Col¬ 
umbia holds the record over a triangular course, 
3 hours 13 minutes 18 seconds, and the next 
fastest was made by the Reliance, 3 hours 18 
FOREST AND STREAM 
minutes 10 seconds. The Reliance had double 
the sail spread of the Resolute. 
The actual difference between the two yachts 
at the finish was 2 minutes 46 seconds. As the 
yachts sailed the last leg at the rate of about 
ten miles an hour this time meant half a mile. 
Resolute crossed the line three seconds ahead 
of Vanitie and steadily increased her lead, turn¬ 
ing weather mark at 12:19:14. She eased her 
boom off to port, set a balloon jib topsail and 
reached along toward the next mark with the 
wind over her quarter. The Vanitie turned the 
mark at 12:33:23, and, after easing off, a No. 1 
jib topsail was set. 
The Resolute reached the second ten miles in 
54 minutes 24 seconds and she gybed at the mark 
at 1:23:38. The Vanitie made a gain of 22 
seconds and she gybed at 1:27:25. 
It was another reach of ten miles to the light¬ 
ship. The Resolute changed her balloon for a 
No. 2 jib topsail. She soon ran into a lighter 
wind and the Vanitie was bringing along a much 
stronger breeze. The Resolute held high of the 
course to hold the Vanitie safe and she crossed 
the finishing line at 2:23:57. The Vanitie fin¬ 
ished at 2:26.46. Both carried balloons again in 
the last three miles of the race. On the last leg 
the Vanitie gained 58 seconds. Altogether in 
twenty miles of reaching the Vanitie gained 1 
minute 20 seconds. 
LARCHMONT YACHT CLUB. 
New York, June 13, 1914. 
Fifty-seven yachts sailed to-day in the spring 
regatta of the Larchmont Yacht Club. 
A feature of the day was the winning by J. 
Pierpont Morgan sailing his sloop Grayling first 
prize in the N. Y. Y. C. fifty foot class. She 
defeated Messrs. Ivin and RumriH’s Pleione by 
forty seconds after covering a triangular course 
of nine and three-quarter miles 
Coming for the line under good headway the 
Graylin led at the start, with the Carolina a close 
second and Samuri third. In a light breeze 
from the southward and sheets eased to port 
the two and three-quarter mile reach to the first 
mark, off Parsonage Point, was soon covered, 
Mr. Morgan luffing his yacht around first. The 
Pleione was first at the second mark, off Motts 
Point, in Hempstead Bay. Although the Gray¬ 
ling was third at this mark her spinnaker was 
sent out to port, the wind having canted to the 
westward, and this gave the Pleione a good race 
to the finish. 
The winners in the other classes were the 
schoners Venona, Whileaway and Moira and the 
sloops Nepsi, Amada, Red Wing, Natoma, White- 
cap, Whiff, Joyetta, Scaup, Litle Dipper, Virginia 
and Kit.
