king’s CUP. 
There was a light air from the north when 
the yachts left the harbor to sail the fifth race 
for the King’s cup. but later a wireless message 
received on board Electra told the committee 
that off Point Judith there was a wind from. 
S. W., which was steadily working in. This 
wind reached the line at noon and a triangular 
course going first .to a mark off Block Island, 
then 12 miles E. by S.. and then 10 miles N. by 
W. was selected. The first leg was to windward 
and a fine race was promised. The yachts had 
four minutes to cross the lihe, and as the wind 
was increasing in strength, some of the yachts- 
. men wanted to get away first and catch it as 
soon as possible. Aurora tried for the leading 
position, but was forced to reach down the line. 
Winsome made the best start. She forced Ista¬ 
lena across the line almost with the gun, and 
then backwinding. that yacht compelled her to 
take the port tack. This enabled Winsome to 
tack with her wind all clear. Irolita was the 
next over, and then Aurora, Elmina and Shimna 
followed in the order named. Shimna waited 
until her time was almost up before starting 
and had a fine position. All soon stood in toward 
the Narragansett shore and a fine fight between 
Winsome and Istalena followed. These two 
short-tacked along the beach as far as Point 
Judith, where Winsome managed to cross Ista¬ 
lena and take the lead. Up to that point Shimna' 
had been hanging on well, but she made a tack 
to the south with Istalena and found a soft 
spot which was costly to both yachts. Win¬ 
some held her lead to the first mark, and when 
clear of the Point. Elmina improved her posi¬ 
tion and took second place, with Aurora third, 
but far astern. The times at the first mark 
were: Winsome, 2:31:38; Elmina, 2:35:08; 
Aurora, 2:38:22; Istalena, 2:39:53; Shimna, 
2:42:45; Irolita, 3:13:00. 
1 he wind had gone a little more southerly 
and Winsome tried a spinnaker. She carried it 
for 15 minutes and took it in. Elmina tried 
hers, but took it in as soon as it was broken 
out. The others profiting by these experiences 
failed to use theirs. Winsome headed straight 
on her course, while the others luffed out and 
benefitted by the shift in the wind, and Aurora 
found a nice sailing wind while Winsome for a 
time was becalmed. It was a long journey to 
the second mark, where the times were: ' El- 
mma, 3:55:50; Winsome. 4:01:33; Aurora, 
4:04:30; Istalena. 4:11:55; Shimna, 4:16.52; Iro- 
hta, 4:53:00. Winsome still had the race well 
in hand, but she had more hard luck on the 
reach home and Aurora was again favored. 
Aurora steadily gained, and although Elmina 
and Winsome finished ahead of her, she had 
beaten both yachts. Winsome by 54s. The 
elapsed times over each leg of the course follow:

These figures show that turning to windward 
Winsome did the best work, beating Elmina 
im. 4s. At that point she had more than 
given the allowances to the other sloops, al¬ 
though Shimna was only a few seconds behind 
her time. On the broad reach to the next mark 
Elmina made the best time, but she could not 
sail fast enough to allow time to the sloops. 
Of the single stickers Aurora beat Winsome 
3 m. 47 s., Shimna 4m. 59s. and Istalena 5m. 54s. 
Aurora on this leg had beaten Shimna with her 
allowance, but had still to make gains to win 
the race. Reaching on the third leg, Elmina 
ARTHUR BINNEY 
again made the best time and Aurora beat all 
the sloops, gaining enough to win the race.

THE WTNNERS. 
During the cruise, there were five port-to- 
port runs, two races sailed off Newport and one 
race sailed off Glen Cove. The yachts sailed 
for twenty-one special cups, fifty-eight regular 
class prizes and twenty special class prizes. 
The total number of starters in these events 
was 228, which does not take into consideration 
a yacht starting for two prizes in one day. The 
win records of the yachts follow:
