TUESDAY, AUG. 3. 
The second days’ run was from Morris Cove 
: New London, finishing off Sarah’s Ledge 
loy, 38 miles. The yawl Vigilant and sloop 
opirant had found the fleet and added to the 
erest. Vigilant sailed against the best time 
: the schooners, and Polaris being without a 
ass competitor, sailed against the best time 
( the Class M sloops. The wind was east 
; d fresh at the start, which meant more wind- 
1 rd work, and it lasted until the larger yachts 
fished, and then died out, leaving the smaller 
jchts becalmed and they had to give up. 
The racers were sent away in divisions, the 
urning signal being made at 9:30 o’clock, 
/era led the 30-footers across the line, Capsi- 
:m followed, and then came Princess, Fritter 
Ed the rest of that class. Dorello led the next 
c/ision with Eleanor next, followed by 
/ipirant, Edjako II., Pellegrina, Irondequoit, 
blaris, Altair, Tern and Rondinello. The 
fiooners were led by Irolita with Eclipse, 
luriel and Dervish following. They split.into 
to divisions at once. Vigilant, Muriel, Irolita, 
Llipse, Arawan, Dervish, Seneca, Phryne and 
hhinda stood out in the Sound, and then tak- 
i? the port tack, stood to the northeast, 
bme went far across and were left. Others 
nrked closely into the beach; Vigilant did well, 
he soon took the lead and finished first, foi- 
Kved by Altair, Muriel, Polaris, Aspirant, 
orello, Eleanora, Dervish, Atair, Seneca, 
• era and Dahinda. After these had got in the 
'nd died out, and the rest, after trying for a 
lig time to reach the line, withdrew and were 
twed in. The summaries;

The last run was from New London to New¬ 
port, and was the best of the cruise. The wind 
was east, and it was a fine battle in all classes. 
It was a cloudy day, and during the afternoon 
rain fell, but that did not dampen the spirits 
of the yachtsmen. They were sent away from a 
line off Sarah’s Ledge buoy and crossed in 
close order. It was a reach to Race Rock, and 
there some little trouble was had because the 
tide was running west, and as soon as the yachts 
hauled their wind, they stopped and were 
bunched in close order. Then nearly all stood 
in toward Fisher’s Island, making short tacks 
along the beach. Polaris, Cleona and Eleanora 
stood off shore and held that tack until they 
were able to fetch Block Island. They found 
more wind and got out of the worst of the tide. 
When nearing Point Judith a few of the others 
stood out, and Vigilant, which had been having 
a hard fight with Aspirant and Altair, was 
finally able to get by that yacht and take the 
lead. They had a close reach to the finish. 
Vigilant was first followed by Altair. Polaris. 
Muriel, Eleanora and Aspirant. Polaris sailed 
the best race of the day. Once she got into a 
soft spot and Eleanora passed her, but she got 
going again, and overhauled Eleanora off Point 
Judith. She beat the whole fleet on corrected 
time. Vigilant beat the schooners. Altair beat 
the M sloops. Eleanora won, and she beat 
Dorello. The summaries:
