Ardette Wins Long Race. 
Clarkson Cowls’ 20-footer Ardette won the 
Cornfield Lightship race of the Manhasset Bay 
Y C This yacht was the smallest of the eleven 
that started 'from Port Washington last Satur¬ 
day morning. They were racing for a cup of¬ 
fered by Howard Gould. The start was made 
at 910 o’clock and the yachts that started were- 
Alera J W. and E. P. Alker; Atair, G. C. 
Meyer; Bobtail, R. A. Monk; Ardette. Clark¬ 
son Cowl; Pagan (schooner), W. H. Judson; 
Juanita, S. C. Hunter; Amorita, F. P. Braydon; 
Mopsa, F. C. Sullivan; Dorena, H. J. Gielow; 
Delight (yawl), V. Burnett; Melody, W. j. 
Matheson. ,, • , 
A light northeast wind was blowing at tne 
start and that gave the yachts a beat to Oyster 
Bay. when it shifted to the southeast and made 
a reach up the sound. Alera had by that time 
taken the lead, which she held throughout the 
afternoon. But Bobtail, at one time hull down 
astern, managed to beat her around the light¬ 
ship The times of the leaders at the mark 
were: Bobtail, 11:50:00 p. m. ; Atair, 11:52:00; 
Alera, 11:54:00; Melody and Amorita about five 
minutes later. A short time before the leaders 
reached the lightship the wind shifted to north¬ 
west and forced them to beat again after round¬ 
ing the mark. The tide at the same time wa? 
running strong east and as the wind was light 
the yachts that rounded could hardly stem it. 
The result was that the yachts astern came up 
and nearly all were eventually bunched about 
the lightship. „ . 
Between 3 and 4 o’clock Sunday morning the 
wind shifted to the northeast, came out fresh 
and kicked up a nasty sea. However, as the 
yachts had a run it did not bother them greatly 
Alera took the lead on the run home and held 
it to the finish. She crossed the line at 1:51 
o’clock Sunday afternoon, followed 33 minutes 
later by Bobtail. Amorita was third at 3:17:15, 
while Ardette, which took first prize, did not 
finish until 5:07:57.

Atlantic Y. C. 
More Joy the new 25-footer built for Com¬ 
modore William H. Childs by HerreshofT, 
made her first appearance on the Lower Bay 
Saturday in the regatta of the Atlantic Y. C. 
She was beaten by R. A. Brown’s Vingt Trois 
by 2 minutes 13 seconds. The result was a 
surprise as Vingt Trois has not shown much 
speed in her races but in this contest she was 
sailed with good judgment throughout. Mr. 
Brown has purchased the 25-footer Manhasset 
which took part in the racing at Jamestown 
but was disqualified because she measured out 
of the class. She is a very fast yacht. 
The race was sailed in a light southeast wind. 
The yachts started with a reach and Soya led 
across the line with More Joy next and Vingt 
Trois last. More Joy had taken the lead at 
the Sea Gate mark but soon began a luffing 
match with Soya, and Vingt Trois was able 
to take a good lead. Reaching Fort Hamil¬ 
ton Vingt Trois increased this lead. It was 
windward work to Bensonhurst, and finishing 
the first round the times were: Vingt Trois, 
3.56.11; Soya, 3 58.32; More Joy, 3 - 58 - 41 - More 
joy passed Soya running to Craven Shoals, but 
she could not catch Vingt Trois and that vacht 
won the race. In the other classes the entries 
were slim. The finishing times were: 
Sloops, Class Q; start, 3 '-° 5 ; 16 miles: Vingt 
Trois, 4.45.50; More Joy, 448.03; Soya, 449 - 50 .

Bellport Y. C. 
The second regatta of the season of the 
Great South Bay Yacht Racing Association 
under the auspices of the Bellport Y. C. was 
sailed on July 31. It proved a big attraction 
and the club house was crowded with the 
friends of the yachtsmen and all greatly en¬ 
joyed the day’s sport. The yachts started in 
a light southeasterly wind that freshened later 
and they sailed a course turning to windward- 
on the first leg. The results of the different 
races are shown in the table of elapsed times, 
as follows: 
Class N; start, 2:10: Myra, 1.54.05.

Belle Harbor Y. C. 
The Belle Harbor held an open regatta last 
Saturday and a fair sized fleet of yachts took 
part. The racing in the sail boat classes was 
spoiled because the southeasterly wind died out 
while the yachts were racing and they drifted 
home. The motor boats made a good contest 
and B. H. W. Simm’s Mud Lark won by a 
small margin. The finish times were: 
Sloops under 25 feet; start, 5:21:30: Imp, 
7.24.30; Psyche, 7.25.00; Carl E., 7.27.00.

showed in the regatta of the Corinthian Y. C.,

southerly breeze. In the race for 31-raters
