Larchmont Race Week. 
The race week of the Larchmont \. C. will 
long be remembered by those who were fortu¬ 
nate enough to be able to participate in the 
many events that had been arranged, and which 
were carried to a successful termination. At 
Larchmont things are always done well. The 
members are royal hosts, they prepare all sorts 
of interesting and novel entertainments for 
visiting yachtsmen, their officers are competent 
and efficient, and the races are well managed. 
Commodore Leonard Richards, who took hold 
this year, has done wonders with the club al¬ 
ready. It is no* secret that all was not as it 
should be at Larchmont, but Commodore 
Richards is a good business man as well as a 
keen yachtsman, and it is really the first time 
in the chib's history that there has been a busi¬ 
ness man at the helm. Vice-Commodore Harry 
L. Maxwell represents the racing element in the 
club, and he is a good man for the position. 
Rear-Commodore Rudolph Schaefer has until 
recently been identified with the social element 
of the club, so that the flag officers this year 
represent all elements. The Regatta Committee, 
Charles P. Tower, Edgar B. " Carroll and A. 
Rutledge Schmidt, had its hands full for the 
entire week. The fact that the total number of 
starters in the six days’ regattas was 589 shows 
that it was a busy week for this committee. 
Good management, an element of good luck 
and a desire to have good sport made, the week 
a brilliant one and one thoroughly enjoyed. 
In the six days of racing all sorts of weather 
was experienced, and, strange to say, although 
the wind came from several different quarters, 
the yachts raced over the same courses each 
day. There were days of light weather when 
the winds were not altogether true. Those days 
enabled the skippers of the racers to show what 
good judgment they had in finding the flaws in 
the wind and successfully beating the tides. 
There were two days of fresh winds when the 
races were sailed without flukes, and those days 
were worth waiting for. On the last day the 
wind was very light and fitful, but one such day 
must be expected in a week at this season of 
the year. 
WEDNESDAY, JULY 20. 
This was the second open regatta of the week, 
and the third races of the different series were 
sailed and ninety-nine yachts crossed the start¬ 
ing line. The wind at the start was light from 
E. This gave the yachts windward work to the 
first mark. On the second leg the wind died 
down, and for a while the fleet was becalmed. 
Then while the yachts were hovering about the 
Hempstead marks the wind came S.W. and 
freshened considerably, so that the racers made 
fast time on the last leg. Two schooners. Simi¬ 
tar and Miladi. crossed the line, and Simitar 
outsailed Miladi, winning the race easily. In 
Class K. Aurora had the weather position at the 
start. Winsome was the leeward yacht and Ista- 
lena between the two. They crossed on star¬ 
board tack. Istalena and Aurora at once took 
port tack, standing out into the Sound, while 
Winsome held well in toward Oriental Point. 
Aurora was first at the weather marie by a small 
margin. Spinnakers were carried on the second 
leg until the wind changed which gave them a 
reach and then a broad reach across the Sound 
home. The committee stopped them at the end 
of the first round and Aurora won. 
Shirnna had the better position at the start 
of the 55-footers, but Avenger had more way 
on, and Shimna at once took the port tack and 
stood out in the Sound. Avenger reached the 
weather mark with a lead of a few seconds, and 
at once squared away for Hempstead, setting 
her spinnaker. Addison G. Hanan on Shimna 
had a balloon jib topsail set and reached toward 
Matinnicock and made faster time than Avenger 
did running before the wind. Shimna took the 
lead by this maneuver and held it to the finish, 
winning by a good margin. 
In the race for the 46-footers, Eleanora won 
from Irondequoit and Polaris. The conditions 
just suited Eleanora, and she was well sailed by 
Frank Bowne Jones. 
There were ten starters in the Inter-Club 
class, and, as usual with yachts so evenly 
matched, the race was close. They were be¬ 
calmed for some time near Hempstead, and 
then when the wind came again, sailed home 
with spinnakers. Salas was the winner, and 
Lewanna finished second. Ogemah won in 
Class R, which was very gratifying to her de¬ 
signer, J. R. Brophy. This yacht is not a new 
one, having raced several seasons. She was the 
first to be built under the present rule, and was 
really built to show what the rule would' do. 
She has had a very successful career. Tomboy 
and Joyette made a very close race, and Tom¬ 
boy was leading at the end of the first round, 
but Joyette caught her and won. More Joy, 
too, had a good lead at the end of the first 
round, but she was beaten out by Gray Jacket.

THURSDAY, JULY 21. 
It was -a glorious day for yachting, and the 
best day’s racing of the year was had on Thurs¬ 
day. The wind was S.S.W., a good wholesail 
breeze which held true. It was a breeze that 
made the yachts sail at their best. There was a 
snap and a sting to it, and it whipped the flags 
out straight on the club house staff, frothed the 
waves with white caps and heeled the yachts 
until their lee rails were down to the water’s 
edge. The first leg of each course was a broad 
reach, the second windward work, and the third 
another broad reach. 
W. Butler Duncan, Jr., again berthed Aurora 
in the weather position with Winsome next and 
Istalena to leeward. Balloon jib topsails were 
carried and the first leg was a very fast one. 
Aurora always reaches well, and she had a lead 
of 20S. at the first mark. On the windward leg 
Winsome did well and almost got on even 
terms with Aurora, but on the reach across the 
Sound, Aurora drew away again. The times at 
the end of the round were: Aurora, 1:22:58; 
Winsome, 1:23:14; Istalena. 1:23:57. On the 
second round Winsome again closed up on the 
leader and almost caught her. but then, when 
reaching home. Winsome’s balloon jib topsail 
halliards were fouled, and it was a minute and a 
half before she was able to get the -big sail on 
and she lost the race, being beaten by Aurora 
by im. 26s. Istalena succeeded in getting by 
Winsome on the last leg and beat her by 4s. 
Shimna had the advantage of the start in her 
■ race with Avenger, and then Avenger had 
trouble setting her balloon jib topsail. At the 
end of the first round Shimna had a lead of 2m. 
7s. On the second round Avenger cut this 
down, but she was beaten by 9s. 
L. R. Alberger’s yawl Polaris is at her best 
in a good breeze, and she sailed a wonderfully 
good race. She had to allow time to such good 
boats as Irondequoit, Eleanora and Gardenia, 
but she did it handily. W. Burtse Hart sailed 
the yacht and sailed her well. Irondequoit. 
owned by H. G. S. Noble, is this year handled 
by Harry Johnson, and he has with him James
