Enchantress set spinnaker to starboard and 
started to run for the next mark. Westward 
followed her. but Capt. Dennis gybed Elena, and 
with a balloon jib topsail, reached in toward the 
land. Irolita followed and Avenger gybed and 
set a spinnaker to port. When the leg was 
half sailed Westward took in her spinnaker, 
gybed, and with her balloon jib drawing, 
reached out to head off Elena, which had gybed 
again and was reaching back toward the course. 
Four times Elena was gybed on this leg and 
Westward gybed twice. Westward succeeded in 
taking the lead from Enchantress, and Elena 
moved into second place. The times at the 
second mark and the elapsed times for the run 
of 18 miles were:

It was a reach in to the finish, and Westward

race through clever handling. She had really

king’s CUP. 
There were seven starters in the race for the 
King’s cup on Friday, Aug. 11. Enchantress 
won, but her victory was one of luck rather than 
being due to the speed of the yacht. She was 
sailed with good judgment by Capt. O. B. 
Smith and Capt. Harry Haff and profited by 
the errors of the others. The course was a 
triangle with the first turning mark off Block 
Island. The wind was S. W. light. Westward 
had the best position at the start and Enchan¬ 
tress was under her lee. Elena followed in 
Westward’s wake, and then came Istalena call¬ 
ing for room and just beating Avenger. Irolita 
was next and Shimna last. They soon took the 
starboard tack, heading for the shore, and West¬ 
ward drew steadily ahead of the others. 
Avenger, after reaching the beach, stood well 
off shore and further along in the race, when 
off Point Judith, Enchantress took the star¬ 
board tack. She had been headed on the port 
tack and did much better when standing out to 
sea. Westward, Elena and Istalena held the 
starboard tack until they had overstood the 
mark several minutes, and while they were in¬ 
shore, they found the wind much lighter. En¬ 
chantress, too, had the advantage of sailing in 
slack water between the tides, and soon worked 
into a commanding position. She turned the 
weather mark nearly 16m. ahead of Westward. 
Elena was next, followed by Avenger, Irolita, 
Istalena and Shimna. 
It was a broad reach to the next mark, and 
while Westward and Elena closed up on En¬ 
chantress that yacht had too great a lead to 
overcome except through an accident. The last 
leg was a close fetch and Enchantress held her 
own on this leg and won the race. On cor¬ 
rected time Avenger was second, and Westward 
beat Elena. The elapsed times over each leg

NEWPORT Y. 
R. A. RACE. 
The three schooners-—Irolita, Westward and 
Elena—raced on Saturday for the cup offered 
by the Newport Yacht Racing Association. 
The course was the same as for the King’s cup, 
and after a long wait in an absolute calm, a 
light breeze came from the S. W. The yachts 
were started, Westward again at the best posi¬ 
tion with Elena 3m. late and to leeward and 
Irolita handicapped urn. The wind was very 
light and the yachts moved very slowly. Iro¬ 
lita stood inshore and Westward and Elena on 
the starboard tack stood offshore. About half 
an hour after the start the wind came from the 
S. E., balloon jib topsails were carried and 
booms were eased to starboard. This change 
put Elena to windward of Westward. Irolita 
got the new wind some time later, but she was 
able to reach out by Point Judith far in the lead. 
Then the wind went south again and small jib 
topsails were set and later the wind got to its 
original quarter, and it was windward work 
again. Irolita turned the mark at 2:50:20, Elena 
at 3:00:58 and Westward at 3:03:44. It was a 
broad reach to the next mark. Elena and West¬ 
ward cut down Irolita’s lead somewhat. The 
times at that mark were: Irolita, 3:55:30; 
Elena, 4:02:00; Westward, 4:06:30. Then it was 
a reach in to the finish. Irolita won the race, 
finishing at 4:59:32. Elena was second at 5:01:26 
and Westward finished at 5:07:19. 
Karina’s Brenton Reef Cup. 
Robert E. Tod’s three-masted schooner 
Karina won the Brenton Reef cup, defeating 
Atlantic, owned by Wilson Marshall, ih. 12m. 
10s. These two yachts started from Brenton 
Reef Light Vessel at 10:25 Friday morning. 
The wind was southwest; Karina stood offshore 
on the starboard tack for forty-eight miles head¬ 
ing south ]/z east. She then took the port tack 
for twenty miles when Montauk Point was 
abeam. The wind then backed two points and 
Karina was able to hold on port tack until Shin- 
necock Light was abeam. There were squalls 
during Friday night, but Karina passed Fire 
Island at 3:4s o’clock Saturday morning and 
turned the Ambrose Channel Light Vessel at 
5 -37 Saturday morning. Atlantic had turned 
more than half an hour ahead of that time. It 
was windward work back, and after making sev¬ 
eral short tacks in toward Fire Island, the wind 
hauled to southeast which allowed her to fetch 
along the Long Island shore to Shinnecock. At¬ 
lantic was in sight and she was footing faster 
than Karina. Then Karina, when reaching grad¬ 
ually, overhauled Atlantic, and when off Mon¬ 
tauk Point, Atlantic was only three miles ahead. 
Then spinnakers were set. Atlantic held through 
Block Island Sound and found a head tide, while 
Karina, which was footing very fast, passed 
to the eastward of the island and soon had the 
race well in hand. Karina finished the race at 
12:56:00 on Sunday morning and Atlantic fin¬ 
ished at 2:10:00. The elapsed times were: 
Karina, 38.28.50; Atlantic, 39.41.00. 
Marblehead Race Week. 
For two days the midsummer racing off 
Marblehead was marred by fog and bad 
weather. The regatta of the Eastern Y. C. 
scheduled for Monday, Aug. 7, and that of the 
Boston Y. C. the next day, had to be post¬ 
poned because the fog was too thick to race, 
but during the last four days of the week the 
yachtsmen made up for their disappointments 
and had some fine sport. The Corinthian Y. C. 
began its four days of midsummer racing on 
Wednesday, Aug. 9, and 142 yachts raced. The 
next day the Eastern and Corinthian Clubs each 
held a regatta and more than 200 yachts took 
part in the races. 
EASTERN Y. C. 
The special race, which should have been 
sailed on Aug. 7 was postponed on account of 
fog and sailed on Aug. 10. There was a light 
southerly wind, but the racing was very in¬ 
teresting. Timandra and Sayonara sailed a 
close race which was won by Timandra.
