Van Rensselaer Cup Regatta. 
Marion, Mass., Aug. 3.—The contestants 
for the Van Rensselaer cup had an exciting 
time in a heavy blow this afternoon in the an¬ 
nual race off Ruggles Point. Seven 21-footers, 
four sonders and two of this year’s Crane de¬ 
sign boats started, the 21-footers having im. 
42s. time allowance and the Crane boats 10m. 
allowance. Commodore W. E. C. Eustis’ Skate 
under full sail won by more than 4m. The time 
allowance enabled Peg and Sea Coon, sonder 
boats, credit for second and third places. Wind 
caused trouble for the little Herreshoff 15- 
footers. Miss Margaret Codman’s Yalu took 
the lead early, but on the second time around 
broke her mast and had to withdraw. Polly 
won in this class. Pronto, owned and sailed by 
Miss Esther Hosmer. protested that the course 
was not understood by the crew and withdrew. 
Vim protested Folly for fouling one of the 
buoys, thus leaving the actual winner in doubt 
till the regatta committte passes on the pro¬ 
tests. The summary:
