lowed, she being timed at 11.31.48, the rest all 
being timed as crossing at II.32, though some 
were much later. Queen came second, Elmina 
next, and Ingomar last. 
At the first mark Winsome was first at 
12.17.57, followed by Istalena at 12.19.30; then 
came Aurora at 12.20.16; Neola, 12.23.15; Effort,

The elapsed time of the yachts on the first 
leg of the course was: Queen, 54.58; Ingo- 
mar, 55.54; Elmina, 56.19; Istalena, 57.09; Win-

Neola, 1.01.34; Avenger, 1.05.44; Venona, 1.10.24. 
On the port tack the yachts could just lay 
their course for the Block Island mark, but 
they had not gone far before the wind con- 
tinued on its way around the compass and made 
it a beat to windward by hauling to south and 
even southwest, fluctuating between these two 
points. 
Queen and Ingomar outpointed Elmina, but 
though she had fallen to leeward, she held 
doggedly on, for a race is never over until it 
is won. Effort outsailed the sloops, so that as 
they squared away around the Block Island 
mark, their times were:

Spinnakers were set first on one side, then on 
the other, to try and please the fickle wind, and 
it was on this point of sailing, by far the most 
difficult in light winds, that Capt. Dennis, of 
Elmina, worked a racing trick known by but 
few, and that is, that a yacht with a quartering 
wind with ballooners full will travel much faster 
through the water than one running, as the term 
“dead” before it, well implies. They are dead; 
but luff them a little and just see them jump. 
That’s what Dennis did; he zig-zagged like an 
ice-yacht sailing to leeward and outfooted the 
other boats, running a true end on course for 
the mark. Elmina finished first by this kind of 
sailing, over a minute ahead of Queen. 
The summary tells the tale, but it is of interest 
to note how near the little Nepsi came to win- 
ning out against the large sloops pitted against 
her. The summary:

The King’s Cup. 
Saturday, Aug. 17.—The closing event of the 
N. Y. Y. C. cruise and the race off Newport 
for the King’s cup was sailed in a slashing 
south by west breeze with rain in squalls and 
light showers. 
The course was one of the new King’s cup 
courses instead of the usual Block Island one, 
the first leg being a beat to windward, S. by W. 
4 W.. 12 miles; the second leg a broad reach, 
E. by N., 11% miles; and the last leg a close 
reach, N. W. % N., 12 miles. Under the con- 
ditions of this prize only schooners with a 
waterline length of at least Goft., and sloops 
of soft. waterline can compete, so the starters 
that appeared were Queen and Ingomar, both
