Only two of the yachts have been measured. 
The Royal Flush rates 65.3 and Eronel 23.40. 
It is thought that an error must have been made 
in the Royal Flush’s rating, the figures being 
far too high. As it would be unfair to put 
Eronel against the larger boats, Chairman 
Tower decided to give that yacht a special prize 
and let the other three race together, and the 
winner will be determined when all are meas¬ 
ured. 
Aftr that there were water sports, and in the 
evening there was a ball. It rained in the even¬ 
ing and somewhat marred the Venetian fete 
that had been arranged for, but all who visited 
the club, and the members, too, had a good 
time in spite of the weather. 
Wednesday, July 22. 
Ninety five yachts started in the open regatta 
on Wednesday, and it was a most unsatisfactory 
day. The wind was so light in the morning that 
the start was postponed, and when a light 
south by east wind came at noon, the committee 
sent the yachts away. Courses 5 and 9 were 
signalled, but in the 57ft. class the race was 
stopped at the end of the second round, and in 
the L, M, P and 30ft. classes at the end of the 
first round. The wind all day was listless. 
What there was held true until late in the after¬ 
noon, when a sharp squall from the southwest 
made things lively for a few minutes, but when 
it had passed over, the wind flattened out alto¬ 
gether and Istalena was badly left. Aurora got 
the better of the start and was never headed. 
Mr. Harry L. Maxwell sailed this yacht. 
When race week opened it was agreed by the 
owners of Gardenia and Dorwina that they 
would, sail without time allowance. After 
Dorwina won on Monday, Mr. Herzig, owner 
of Gardenia, discontinued that arrangement and 
insisted on one-half of full time allowance, to 
which Mr. Ray of the Dorwina agreed. Dor¬ 
wina took the lead at the start and held it until 
near the finish line, when Gardenia passed her 
and finished first. At the first mark of the 
course Dorwina had altered her helm to turn. 
Gardenia, which, according to witnesses, had 
not established an overlap, fouled Dorwina, 
striking that boat on the starboard side about 
amidships. The force of the collision knocked 
Mr. William Gardner down the companionway 
and broke the bowsprit spreader of Gardenia. 
Both owners protested. 
Dorello easily defeated Mimosa III. again, 
but the feature of the day’s sailing was that of 
Seneca, which boat beat Mimosa and Dorwina 
even up, and Dorello and Gardenia with her 
allowance. These boats sailed the same course 
and started on the same signal. Mr. Hanan 
was anxious to get a line on those he is likely 
to meet in the Astor cup races and other 
events. The summary tells the story of the 
racing. It was a day that tired every one and a 
hard one for racing yachtsmen.

Thursday, July 23 . 
Ninety-one yachts started in the fourth race 
of the series, and again the yachtsmen were dis¬ 
appointed with the weather. The wind was 
light, and baffling all day. At the start it was 
from the southwest and courses i, 3 and 9 
were selected. This made the first leg a broad 
reach, the second a beat and the third another 
reach. The yachts succeeded in getting around 
the triangles in spite of the lightness of the wind 
and finished in fair time, considering the con¬ 
ditions. It was not a day though to test the 
merits of the yachts. 
Miladi and Tammany started in the schooner 
class, and Miladi won very easily. Tammany 
wants a good steady breeze. Aurora won again 
from Istalena, although the latter was leading 
at the end of the first round by about 2m. 
Both were becalmed at Hempstead, and Aurora 
got a new breeze first. 
Gardenia sailed away from Dorwina, increas¬ 
ing her lead all the way. Dorello and Seneca 
were without class competitors so a special 
race was arranged and Dorello managed to 
beat the smaller boat by im. is. On corrected 
time Seneca wins by a good margin. Sue, 
Seneca’s class competitor, was withdrawn from 
the racing on the Sound, and Mimosa III. was 
to have had a new mainsail, but it was not bent 
on in time. 
In the New York 30ft. class Melody made 
her first appearance. Minx won, her first 
victory of the week with Alera second and 
Nepsi third. The raceabouts made a very 
close race, Chinook just beating Rascal III. by 
one second. In the Q class Capsicum—always 
at home in light weather—got home first, scor¬ 
ing her third victory of the week. The sum¬ 
maries follow:

southeast, light, calms:
