The race will be sailed under the rules of the

following rules: 
Rule 6. Section 7. Each yacht shall carry her 
private signal at the main peak and display her 
racing number above the reef points at ap¬ 
proximately equal distances from the luff and 
leach on both sides of the mainsail. 
Rule 17, Section 2. Should the regatta com¬ 
mittee deem it desirable on account of the di¬ 
rection of the wind to order the course sailed 
in a reverse direction from that specified in the 
instructions code, flag B hoisted five minutes 
before the warning signal shall be the signal 
for so doing. 
Rule 18. Except when otherwise specified in 
the instructions, a race in any class in which no 
yacht has finished at one half hour after sunset 
shall be declared off. 
This cup is for small yachts what the Astor 
cup is for the larger ones, and will determine 
which is the champion yacht on the Sound. It 
is sure to attract a liberal list of entries, and a 
good wind is wanted to make the race a success. 
It will be high water at Captain Harbor on 
day of race at 12:23 P. M. Sun sets at 6:11.

American Y. C. Regatta. 
Aurora and Istalena resumed their battle in 
the regatta of the American Y. C., sailed on 
the Sound off Milton Point last Saturday. They 
sailed twice around a triangle g 3 /& miles in 
length, and were fairly tried on all points of 
sailing. The wind was very light from the S. E. 
Istalena had the weather position at the start, 
but Aurora, cleverly handled, sailed through her 
lee and took the lead before the first mark at 
Execution Light was reached. They had wind¬ 
ward work to a buoy off Week’s Point, and a 
close reach home. On the windward leg 
Istalena took the lead again, and their times 
at the home mark were: Istalena, 2:10:30; 
Aurora, 2:11:30. On the second round Aurora 
gained well on the first leg and took the lead 
on the windward leg, finally winning by im. 
They were to have gone three times around, 
but the wind was so light the committee stopped 
the race on the second round. 
In the race for the thirties, Alera and Phryne 
gained such a lead on the first leg that interest 
was soon lost, and Alera won easily. Houri 
won the race for 21-footers. In the Q Class 
there were six starters and this time that ghost 
in light airs. Caprice, was beaten by Chaperone, 
which yacht is improving in every race. 
Wahnata’ and Sally IX. sailed in this class. 
Commander Fay won with his dory Faraway, 
and then dressed ship in honor of his brother’s 
victory with Tautog in Holland. 
There were forty-nine starters in sixteen 
classes, and the regatta committee were on 
board Commodore Richard Wainwright’s new 
cruising power boat Plornet. The times:

Bensonhurst Y. C. Regatta. 
The eleventh race of the series for tlie 
championship of Gravesend Bay was sailed on 
Saturday, Aug. 29, under the auspices of the 
Bensonhurst Y. C. Thirty-eight yachts started 
in the usual classes. Careless, a starter in the 
handicap class, owned by Richard Rummell, 
parted her peak halliards and withdrew. W. L. 
Sweet, Jr., owner of Nancy, protested Zig Zag 
and La Cubana. The larger yachts went twice 
around the six-mile course, going to Fort 
Hamilton first. This gave them first a close 
reach, then a reach to Buoy No. 11, then a beat 
across the channel and a broad reach home. 
Sue, owned by E. F. Luckenbach, defeated J. 
B. O’Donohue’s Crescent in the 27ft. class. In 
the 22ft. class Joy won from Soya and Spider. 
Mischief won the first division handicap class, 
and Miana the second division. M. and F. 
added another prize to her long list by defeat¬ 
ing Pester and Gunda and Merry Widow, and 
Mouse won in the smaller classes. The wind

18-footers and rate in Class R, and can be built 
for about $1,000 each.
