.. a 
New Rochelle Y. C. Race. 
On Saturday, May 23, twenty-seven yachts 
started in the spring race of the New Rochelle 
Y. C., sailing over triangular courses of 7L4 
and 11L2 miles, respectively, on Long Island 
Sound. It was the first race of the season on 
the Sound, and the club is to be congratulated 
on its success, in the face of adverse conditions, 
for in spite of extremely light airs aiid \calms all 
but two of the yachts were able to finish. 
The start was made in a light air from the 
eastward from an imaginary line between A. P. 
Bennett’s yawl Ensign and a buoy off Pine 
Island at 2:35, L. S. Llerzig’s sloop Gardenia 
getting away close hauled on the starboard tack 
a few seconds after gun. The regatta commit¬ 
tee, J. A. Mahlstedt, M. S. Kattenhorn and R. 
F. D. Hobart, sent the first division of the handi¬ 
cap class away next, at 2140, B. R. Stoddard's 
Fearless being in the lead, with George Gran- 
bery’s Tanya second and A. E. Black’s Thclema 
third. L. H. Dyer’s Psammald and J. J. Dwyer’s 
Rascal starting on the same gun. The rest got 
away in the next fifteen minutes. Robert 
Jacob’s new Q class sloop Chaperon started 8m. 
45s. late. She was unable to overcome this big 
handicap, so she withdrew when half around the 
course, W. H. Child’s Joy winning in the class. 
It was a beat to the Scotch Caps and Parsonage 
Point buoys; a reach across the Sound to Pros¬ 
pect Point buoy and another reach to the finish.
