Here the Addle Yoorhis parted company with
the feet and went west IL Will be observed that
the Sadie White Wing AID sea witch were long
distance astern IN working past the buoy. TINS
was due to the wind falling almost dead
calm inside the Point, and the hood tde
setting them to leeward so last that sthey made
but lille -heaGway for nearly three quarters
OF an hour. When they weathered this marx
the leaders were almost out OF sight. and so fas c
were they reellng on the miles In the tearing
breeze from the sOuthward and eastward that
they were never overtaken BY the unfortunat ties.
In Inc neat sloops White Wing and Sadie, which
were making matcR race OF 1t, Jnere was much
interest. Al ia. 45m. the sadie was about one
tb,rd of a mile the best OF the White Wing, while
Inc sea Witch standing Oh snore was still an
eighth OF mile astern OF the latter Five min

at a cracking pace, but II mad not

drawing well, and she reached on the SADIE
slowly. Az noon the sternmost yachts ielt the

raining several SAIL boats ana hdrDOr
yachts, with large parties OF ladies ana
gentlemen, run aoHn 10 meet them, and
vita cheers gave them cordial welcome.
The Madeleine, under moderate amount OF
canvas, showed the way, with the Maggie - next,
