Breakwater. The tide was running east and a 
fast race was anticipated. This wind meant a 
broad reach. The warning was made at 10 
o’clock, and the small sloops started ten minutes 
later. The starts in every class were very close 
and exciting. Cara Mia was first away with 
Windward on her weather quarter. Banzai was 
next, followed by Dahinda, Juanita, Alera, 
Corinthian, Phryne and Nepsi, the last to lee- 
ward of all. The larger sloops were very close 
together. Istalena led with Avenger under her 
lee. Then came Hester, Gardenia, Dorello. 
Irondequoit, Hermes, Vega, Adventuress and 
Feu-Follet:. Seneca led the small schooners, 
followed in order by Vagrant, Dervish, Taor¬ 
mina. Katrina and Cygnet. 
The big schooners then approached the line. 
Elena was reaching down toward the weather 
end of the line and Westward heading for the 
same point was on her weather quarter. They 
were so close together that Mr. Morgan on 
Westward shouted for room, and Elena had 
to bear off just a little to let Westward through 
and Westward had the coveted position with 
Elena under her lee. Ariel was the next, and 
then came Sea Fox, Enchantress, Endymion 
and Irolita. The auxiliaries followed and 
crossed very deliberately, but Aloha under all 
canvas* with royals set made a picture not often 
seen in a yacht race. Intrepid, Atlantic and 
Ariadne were the others. Elena at once drewclear 
of Westward and then the two had a luffing match 
that took them well to the southward of all 
the others. All had kites aloft and they sailed 
fast. Cornfield Light vessel was reached short¬ 
ly after 1 o’clock. Istalena was the leading 
yacht then, and she was followed by Taormina, 
Irolita, Avenger, Seneca, Dervish, Sea Fox, 
Adventuress, Ariel, Gardenia and Dorello. Gar¬ 
denia and Dorello had passed to the north of 
Faulkner's Island, while the others kept to the 
south. Elena was leading the offshore division 
about a quarter of a mile ahead of Westward 
and Enchantress far astern. Elena was about 
even with Irolita. The wind had gone more 
southwesterly and spinnakers were set to star¬ 
board on the yachts holding close to the light 
vessel. Then Elena and Westward stood well 
over toward Orient Point and they jibed to 
reach in. The wind was falling very light and 
died out altogether before Bartlett Reef was 
reached. Elena standing in took the lead from 
Istalena and then there was a flat calm. Some 
time later the wind came easterly, light sails 
were doused and jib topsails sent aloft. The 
leaders had a hard time getting to windward 
of the light vessel and all made tacks into 
Niantic Bay. At one time Elena was drifting 
back with the tide and Westward, carrying a 
light air, almost caught her, but Captain Dennis 
succeeded in working Elena out of the soft 
spot, and then kept her between Westward and 
the finishing line. Later the wind freshened 
again and came southeast, so that ballon jib 
topsails were carried in to the finish off Sarah’s 
Ledge. Elena getting the new wind first was 
able to draw away from Westward and win the 
race. There were some surprises in the class 
races'. Istalena won from Hester and in a 
special defeated Avenger. Adventuress won in 
her class, but in a special was defeated by 
Dorello. Cara Mia won from Windward, but 
in a special was defeated by Corinthian and 
Rowdy was again the winner in the 30-foot 
class. 
Miladi defeated Vagrant, but Vagrant flew a 
protest flag at the finish. Intrepid outsailed 
Atlantic and Ariadne. Dervish won from 
Miladi. Sea Fox did remarkably well and was 
a winner. Irolita won in her class and Taor¬ 
mina was the winner in the Class D race. 
Elena and Taormina won the vice-commo¬ 
dore’s cups for schooners and Istalena and 
Dorello won the cups for sloops. The cor¬ 
rected times of Istalena, Adventuress and 
Dorello make an interesting study. Dorello 
beat Istalena by 9s. The summaries:

Horseshoe Harbor Y. C. 
There were sixty-seven starters in the an¬ 
nual regatta of the Horseshoe Harbor Y. C. 
regatta sailed off Larchmont last Saturday. 
The wind was very light at the start, but it 
strengthened to a moderate breeze during the 
afternoon. The courses were triangular, start¬ 
ing off the club house. Only two of the New 
York 30-footers were on hand, the others being 
with the New York Y. C. fleet. This race was 
won by Ibis, sailed by H. L. Maxwell. The
