WEDNESDAY, AUG. 9. 
The yachts were favored with a fresh wind 
from S. S. W. in the run from New Bedford to 
Newport, and the sea was lumpy. This gave 
them windward work to the Vineyard Sound 
Lightship, and then a reacli in to the finish at 
Brenton Reef. The starts were all close and 
the battle well worth witnessing. At the start 
Hester on the port tack forced Dorello to tack 
when on starboard tack and Taormina fouled 
Vagrant and the end of her boom caught the 
head stay of Vagrant and punched a hole in the 
latter’s jib. Hester and Taormina were dis¬ 
qualified. Nearly all the yachts stood well into 
Buzzard’s Bay, and then worked in short tacks 
along the shore of the islands. Elena had the 
best position at the start, and she gradually 
opened up a good lead. The fight between the 
big four was a magnificent one. At the light¬ 
ship Istalena was first. Elena was next 2m. 
32s. ahead of Westward. Avenger was next, 
and then came Westward, Enchantress, Ad- 
f. s. Richard’s snake of the star class. 
venturess, Katrina, Gardenia, Corinthian, Cara 
Mia, Ariel, Dorello, Rowdy and the rest. 
On the reach in to the finish Westward gained 
three minutes on Elena. The yachts were rac¬ 
ing for the rear-commodore’s cups and these 
were won by Elena, Katrina, Istalena and Cara 
Mia. The times:

ASTOR CUPS. 
Thirteen yachts went out to race for the Astor 
cups, but a foul between Istalena and Juanita 
put two out of the race. At the start Juanita 
on the starboard tack was crossing Istalena and 
a fault in the light wind caused the trouble. 
Istalena put her bowsprit through Juanita’s 
mainsail, ripping it from luff to leech. Istalena 
crossed the line and withdrew. The wind wos 
light from S. W. and the Block Island course 
was selected. The first leg was windward work 
and sloops were started at 11:25. Windward 
was first away, and she was followed by 
Avenger. It was then that Istalena fouled 
Juanita. Phryne was next and then came Cara 
Mia, Dorello and Adventuress. They were all 
soon on the port tack heading toward Narra- 
gansett. Westward led the schooners with Iro¬ 
lita under her lee. Enchantress was to lee¬ 
ward of Irolita and then came Vagrant and 
Elena. Elena was handicapped. Westward, 
Vagrant and Elena took the port tack and Iro¬ 
lita and Enchantress held the starboard tack 
standing out to sea. Irolita followed in some 
minutes later and at noon Enchantress too'k 
the port tack. Westward and Elena held well 
in to the shore before tacking and Westward 
had been drawn away from her rival. The 
yachts worked along the beach until by Point 
Judith and then Westward and Elena took a 
long starboard tack while Enchantress held to 
the west on the port tack. At 1:40 o’clock the 
Enchantress took the starboard tack and a few 
minutes later the wind played one of those 
tricks for which it is noted. It suddenly jumped 
two points to the west and struck all the yachts 
at the same time. Enchantress by this change 
was put from last into first place, Irolita was 
•second and Westward third. The sloops were 
treated in the same way, and Avenger got a 
good lift. Irolita threw away what she had 
gained by standing to the east and having to 
buck the tide. The times at the mark and 
elapsed times for the leg were:
