first appearance of the new 
sloop Istalena, owned by Mr. George

first public appearance in a racy, but

of the

new HerreshofT craft, and Mr. Addison 
who handled Effort, got all the benefit 
catspaws and light airs that ruffled the 
off Greenwich. 
The Gardner designed boats Neola, Mr. J. A. 
Blair, Jr., owner, and the Gardenia, Mr.- A.'H. 
Morris, were pitted against Effort and Istalena 
all in one class. 
In the smaller New York Y. C. thirties there 
were Alera, Atair, Banzai and Adelaide, and of 
raceabouts Jolly Roger, Rascal III., Pretty Quick, 
Busy Bee and Chinook. 
I he large sloops were twice sent over a tri¬ 
angle of eight and three-quarter nautical miles, 
making seventeen and one-half miles; the New 
York Y. C. thirties oyer a triangle of five and 
one-half nautical miles, making eleven miles, 
while the raceabouts covered eight .and three- 
quarters nautical miles. 
Early in the morning it had been blowing quite 
hard, but by 2:10 P. M., when the starting whistle 
was given, there was little or none left and the 
yachts-did little more .than drift across the line. 
Neola crossed first and this 
derfully on the first round, 
dicapped 25s. Then came 
Istalena. 
Neola kept well in front of the 
the second round, when she fell to 
Effort becoming the leader. It was

leg, y/2 miles, the yachts were 
motionless for several minutes, when there came 
stealing along the waters from the southwest a 
welcome air, then spinnaker and • balloon jib 
topsails were taken in, sheets flattened aft, and 
the rest of the short way to the mark was on 
the wind. 
Istalena picked up considerably then, so that 
when the second mark was rounded the times 
were, Effort, 2h. 42m. 2s.; Neola, 2h. 42m. gs., 
and Istalena, 2h. 43m. 40s., showing how closely 
these three had sailed the 6 }i miles so far cov¬ 
ered. The last leg was a reach to port and here 
Effort drew ahead considerably so that their 
times of the. first round were: 
Effort .;.4 08 12 
Neola .4 12 03 
Istalena .4 12 41

2m. 3s., and Istalena 2h. 2m. 41s. The patchy 
condition and fickleness of the air did not per¬ 
mit of either craft doing itself justice', but one 
thing was already settled. Effort had not for¬ 
gotten her slippery ways even in airs of zephyr 
weakness. 
The southwest breath continued a while longer 
and . then it died away completely, the racers 
being in the doldrums for minutes, after which 
there was a light air from the north, and in all 
of this Effort picked her way further and further 
in advance until, with another calm spell, Ista- 
\ 1 Jena gave up the job and was finally towed in 
4 to her anchorage. Gardenia and Neola were 
also in hard luck, as they were not timed. Effort 
of the quartet alone finished, but it required 4I1. 
45m. for her to make the 17^2 nautical miles. 
Credit is due to her, however, for the victory, 
as it gives her another winning notch against 
the Herreshoff creations. Mr. Pynchon sailed 
Istalena and with him was Mr. W. Butler Dun¬ 
can, Jr. Captain Howell sailed Neola and Mr. 
Harry Johnson Gardenia. 
In the smaller classes Banzai, Mr. C. D. and 
P. R. Mallory, owners, scored a second victory 
for the year in the New York Y. C. 30ft. class, 
and Rascal III. won in the raceabout class, beat¬ 
ing Pretty Quick by about a minute. The official 
figures are:
