near that staid old village yes'eruay' ~
compete for the honors OF the race sixteen
boats were entered and these emoraced Var-
Gus sizes and models. rom the stately sloop
with ber merry crew. TO the less pretentious cat
ricgeo craft nayigated by single man. The
vacbts were divided into i've classes comprising
$40 and mans sail ooats, ana 0rst second, third and
fourth class cats, and the prizes offered were:-
For nrst class soops, $50; second cays sloops,
$50; arst class cats, $50; second class cats,
$50; third class cats s25. and for fourth class
cats, SIS For the first osass boats the course
was from Echo Bay to and around Captains
Island buoy, ten miles TO windward and return,
on Long Island sound The course for the second
class boats WAS also from the first named starting
place and around staKeboat anchored OF q
place near Rye Beach known as Scotch Caps.
The names Of the boats participating in the
contest are follows brooklyn, Mary Emma,
Joe SANDERS. Grace, Annie, Frou-Frou, Kitten,
Ftdget, Ripple, Tiihe, Gertrude, Byron, Harriet
Snsle, Bessie and Lulu.
Precisely at III. the steamer G. 7. Onphant
gave the signal to start, when the entire neet
favored by brisk eastery breeze, bounded
away with admirable precision In east
-erV direction over the gently agitated
bosom OF the Scund. Only bref time did the
boats remain IN each others company. The stiff
-enIng wind lndnced each craft to adopt that sys-
tenn OF tacGing for which her sailing qualities were
best adapted. Ten or fifteen minutes was
lost in anchoring the stakeboat. Mean;
time the Gertrude, which was ahead
of her competitors had to beat about
waiting for the stakeboat TO be located, thus los
ing the distance she had gained When the stake
boat was placed the Fidget was the first to round
~, making the distance IN III 42m. sos, In quick
succession followed the Tly, Gertrude and Byron,
while the remainder OF their class came
up at Intervals Of from five to fifteen
minutes. The return was quickly made, some
OF the first boats reaching the starting point at
Ecno Bay before the Judges steamer. This occa-
soned lively dispute as TO the time In which the
several yachts made the hOmestretch.
The Brooklyn was alone IN her class and went
over the course in 3h. ION. Sos The Grace in her
class had also no competition, her time being 3h.
16m 30s. OI the second class sloops the Mary Emma
was declared the winner, in 81. som. AIS. In the
third class cats the Annie carried on the prize, her
time being An. 34m. 43s The race between the
fourth class cats was postponed in consequence OF
the impossbility to decide It. IL VIII be sailed
