ing which Wolf showed well, but in the second 
half the wind lightened, and Ellen had it all her 
own way. Ellen was first away, with Sally X. 
under her lee, but Wolf soon took the lead, and 
the times at the first were: Wolf 12.38.09; 
Spokane III., 12.3846; Crooner, 12.39.08; Sally 
X., 12.39.11; Ellen, 12.39.18. . 
On the broad reach the yachts set their 
spinnakers, and as the wind went down some¬ 
what Ellen began to close in. Off Bumkin 
Island she caught Sally X. and a little later she 
went by Crooner and Spokane, turning the 
mark only 42s. behind Wolf. The time at Ped- 
docks Island was as follows: Wolf, 12 . 57-541 
Ellen, 12.58.37; Spokane III., 12.58.54; Crooner, 
12.59.10; Sally X., 12.59.17. 
Ellen at this time drew up on Wolf and soon 
passed her, and the two boats raced over to¬ 
ward the Weymouth shore. In a luffing match 
Wolf was forced about and both headed for 
the starting line with spinnakers out. # Ellen 
reached the line 19s. ahead, the time being as 
follows: Ellen, 1.18.23; Wolf, 1.18.42; Spokane 
III., 1.19.50; Crooner, 1.20.01; Sally X., 1.20.14. 
In starting out on the return trip, Sally X. 
held over to the Hingham shore, while Crooner 
and Spokane III. went outside of Sheep Island 
for favorable wind. The other boats seemed 
to get less wind. Ellen, however, made a pretty 
gain and came about for the mark over 2m. 
ahead of the others, Wolf, Sally X., Crooner 
and Spokane HI. following in order. Crooner 
picked up in the light air, much to the delight 
of the local yachtsmen. Ellen went over the 
line nearly 3m. in the lead, followed by Wolf, 
Crooner, Sally X., Spokane III. 
For fully 10m. after passing this mark there 
was a luffing match between Crooner and Wolf. 
The wind picked up a little and Crooner was 
seen to head the Wolf inch by inch. The times 
and the finish were: Ellen, 2.44.10; Crooner. 
2.46.18; Wolf, 2.47.25; Sally X., 247 - 50 ; Spokane 
III., 2 50.07. 
THIRD RACE. 
The third race was sailed in light weather 
and a smooth sea, and the course was wind¬ 
ward and leeward. Spokane III. ^ had the 
position at the start, with Sally X., Wolf, 
Crooner and Ellen in the order named. Ellen 
soon took the lead, doing well and the times 
for the windward leg were: Ellen, 36.00; Sally, 
37.17; Crooner, 37.25; Wolf, 3851; Spokane. 
40 - 49 - . , 
For the run back to the starting line booms 
were swung out to starboard and spinnakers set 
to port. Crooner, which turned tbe mark only 
8s. astern of Sally, before much of the run was 
covered blanketed her and got by. 
Before the wind Ellen proved to be very fast, 
outrunning the other boats by nearly 2m. Ex¬ 
cept that Crooner got by Sally, the order of the 
boats was not changed at the home mark from 
the first turn. Times for the run were: Ellen, 
30.23; Crooner, 32.10; Wolf, 32.12; Sally, 32.51; 
Spokane, 32.59. 
On the second beat to the Strawberry Hill 
mark, the three leaders, Ellen, Crooner and 
Sally X., followed the same course as on the 
first beat, holding way over to the Hull shore, 
while Spokane and Wolf just reversed their 
courses, Wolf going in back of Sheep Island, 
and Spokane working the west shore of the 
island. 
The beat was made by the boats in the fol¬ 
lowing times: Wolf, 33 - 51 ; Crooner, 3432 ; 
Ellen, 35.06; Spokane, 35.14;. Sally 36.00 
Running home Ellen again was the fastest, 
and finished with a lead of 4m. 29s. On this 
leg Wolf was faster than Crooner, and after 
a luffing match the former got by, when less 
than a half mile from the finish line. The times 
for this leg were: Ellen, 30.24; Sally, 3120; 
Wolf, 31.28; Crooner, 32.31; Spokane, 34.16. 
The times: Ellen. 2.11.53; Wolf, 2.16.22; 
Crooner, 2.16.38; Sally X., 2.17.28; Spokane III., 
2.23.18. 
FOURTH RACE. 
. Wolf won the fourth race, which was sailed 
in a nice sailing breeze over a triangular course. 
Ellen in this race fouled Spokane III., on the 
first leg and withdrew. ' Spokane and Wolf led 
at the start, but Wolf took the lead at once and 
led all around the course, being ahead at every 
mark. Crooner worked into second place at 
the end of the first round and stayed there. The 
elapsed times were: Wolf, 1.5645; Crooner. 
1.58.08; Sally X., 1.5948; Spokane III., 2.04.16; 
Ellen withdrew. 
This race made Ellen and Wolf tied with 
two victories each, and it was conceded that 
the final race would be determined by the 
weather. 
FIFTH RACE. 
It was Wolf weather up to half an hour of 
the start, and then a rain squall killed the wind, 
and there was a light breeze and smooth sea— 
just what Ellen wanted. The course was lee¬ 
ward and windward. Ellen drew away from 
Wolf at the start, but later was almost caught 
through getting in a soft spot, but Ellen got 
going again, and keeping in front all around 
the course, won the race and cup. The elapsed 
times were: Ellen, i- 53 - 3 °; Wolf, 1.58.03.

the start, and at the first mark the order was 
Demon, Eel, Bandit, Sally X. and Lady. The 
leg to windward was 434 miles long. Outside

to advantage. She gradually overhauled the
