although asern. was r. to windward, and tho question
was again raised as % which would turn first ana was
again decided In Avor Of the Annie. the little helpe
being again In company and turning almost az 'ne
same mor-ent, followed by the Edna, Magic anu
Maria The turning Of these boats was among '"e
mos beautiful and exciting sights Of the day as they
c1.ino down cosc.hauled, everything set and every
thing drawing. While waiting here for the yachts 10
come mp We noticed the steamers p c. Schults anu
VIM. Tittaner also the wrecking steamer keiei, ana
tug Niagara, all with parties aboard to witness the
Regatta. The steam yacht Wave. Mr.. VIM. b. Harty,
owner had previously saluted near the South West
Spit
The only time taken at the Light Ship was that OF
the sloop Annie. 2:4750; schooner Magic. 2523s ana
schooner Maria 1921. After the Maria had turned, II
was decided in view Of the fresh breeze blowing not
TO wait for the Others but to make the best OF our wa!
to the s. w. Spit But VIC found 1t impossible to over
haul the yachts in time to see them turn that point
and pointing our bow moro to the north 30 as 10 head
them off in the bay. We took the opportunity to pay
our attention to the very excellent and SUBSTANTIAL
collation. furnished for the club by N. D. O. Bowers ior
whose abilities in this line we have the most unquaineo
respect Soon after the leading yachts reached the
pit however, tho wind again became light and at times
almost died away. Att o'clock. the Maria and Magic
were near Fort Lafayette the latter some distance
ahead when with heavy thunder shower to the west
Of which only few drops reached us. the Maria got
nice little breeze and began TO overhaul the Magic In
vain the latter reset her maintop stay sail aud
tb.top SAIL which she had Just taken In. The Maria
slowly but surely gained her and passed her short
distance above the forts. The breeze Of wind which
had been OF such service TO Commodore Stevenss
Yacht soon speut its force and the remainder OF tho
race was pretty much a-drif. The time only OF the
three fret boats was taken the others being so far be
hind as to render certain that they could not be win
ners The result Is a. follows;

The winners in their respective classes are the
Magic and the Annie both old favortcs and to whom

Altogether this Regatta Of the most enjoya'
bic affairs given by the Club for many years and as we
heard one gentleman naivey remark. 1t only lacked
plenty Of wind to have been perfect success"
The absence Of the ladies. while 1t was undoubtedly
TO some deprivation, allowed the undivided attention
to be given to the matter in hand, and presume will
be amply compensated for by the Review" OF next
Tuesday, which promises to be most interesting
Affair.
We have TO congratulate the Club on the success OF
this Regatta, ard on the commencement OF renewed
prosperity which trust may continue until 1t be-
comes the leading organization OF the sort in the world
Those OF ts members who are able 10 look back to
its foundation in 1874 but appreciate the influence
1t has exercised In yachting in this country but
the younger yachtsmen whose connection with It's of
date able to record great changes In
the year 1856 the squadron consisted Of IS yachts with
an aggregate tunpage Of 1904 tuns. This year the
number Of yachts Is IS with aggregate Of nearly
LOCO tuns. While formerly most Of the yachts. OF
the larger class were soop.rigged, Of later years
schooncrs have had the preference being better
adapted TO rough weather and outside sailing. Many
yachts originally built sloors have been altered to
schooncrs. among which We may name the Sivie
(Which crossed tho Atlantic and returned sloop rigge
the Maria widgeon, Madge (now Magic). Escort
Julia, Minnie and Send.
The yachts now belonging 10 the squadron are as
