Attention will be called to each signal by the

taken down. No yacht will be hailed under any 
circumstances, nor will any other signal be 
given calling attention. 
The committee boat when in nosition for the 
finish will display a red ball and will be 
anchored to the southward or westward of the

one of the yachts competing must cross the 
finish line within five hours after the starting 
signal is given for such race. 
New Rochelle Y. C. 
The fall regatta of the New Rochel’e Y. C., 
sailed last Saturday, was the most successful in 
the history of that organization. There, were 
sixtv-eight starters and these were all in the 
smaller classes, rating 31 feet and under, so that 
this regatta shows how wonderfully popular the 
small racing yacht has grown. LTnfortunately, 
some of the larger sloops were racing on the 
Lower Harbor, so there was no race for the 
sloop Dorwina. The yachts sailed in a moderate 
southwest wind, which softened somewhat later, 
but freshened again toward the end of the after¬ 
noon. 
Naulahka, the challenger for the Manhasset 
Bay cup, was the winner in Class P, defeating 
Mimosa TII. by 7m. 27s. This shows that Naul¬ 
ahka is improving, and that those in charge are 
finding out the yacht’s good points, and by the 
time she is to meet Windward, the defender, 
she will be in fine trim. A surprise was fur¬ 
nished in the race for the 30-footers. Ibis, 
owned by J. Pierpont Morgan. Jr., finished ahead 
of Atair. Phryne won the race with Alera 
second. 
The handicap yachts turned out well. Interim 
won in the first division. Intrepid in the second, 
Jolly Roger in the third, Ramea in the fourth 
and Nimbus III. in the fifth. There were twenty- 
four starters in the handicap races. The rule 
is working so well that the class has grown-con¬ 
siderably and often has been the mainstay of 
some regatta. 
Manhaska won the race for Manhasset 20- 
footers and Drena won in the regular Class S.

premium for sailing the race. A boat that starts 
and does not finish will receive no point, but
