Morton F. Plant’s schooner Elena won a 
second leg on the gold cup offered by ex-Com- 
modore F. Lewis Clark, of the Eastern Y. C., in 
the annual ocean race around Cape Cod on June 
30, making the run in less than sixteen hours. 
Enchantress, owned by William E. Iselin, was 
second, finishing 54m. 45s. later. The boats ran 
into a violent squall off Cape Cod. Elena and 
Enchantress were far ahead of the other craft 
when the wind shifted to northeast suddenly at 
12:30 a. m., being at that time to the northward 
of Highland Light. Elena and Enchantress 
stripped their canvas to forestaysails and main¬ 
sails, under which rig they planed across the 
Massachusetts Bay to the finish. Irolita was 
compelled to run into Gloucester Harbor, Muriel 
taking shelter in Provincetown. Princess won 
the cup offered by ex-Commodore Washington 
B. Thomas for schooners of the second division, 
and Acushla II. won the cup offered by Capt. 
Henry A. Morss for sloops and yawls. The
