Indeed, it blew so hard that the l Stranger, in passing the Corning lay over on | her side to such an extent that the spectators 1 feared she would capsize. She righted her. 1 self however, and passed along safely. The Endeavor was less fortunate, and as she 1 came out of the lee of the steamer puff of I wind struck her and carried away her jib | and iib topsail. Notwithstanding this un- fortunate occurrence, her commander, Con- modore H. D. Billiard, bravely hauled in the l wrecked sail which dragged in the water and kept on down the bay. He then tried to re- pair the injury to the boat, but without suc-
 
 l into the dock. Among many of the specta- tors the Endeavor was the favorite boat and all much regretted the ac- cident to her. The other boats kept along the course which began off Long Wharf and extended down the harbor to the eastward of the Beach and Pardee's buoys, and to the westward of Crane's Bar buoy, then to Luddington's Rock buoy and around the buoy south of Charles Island and return by same route.
 The winning boat in class c was the Flora. She went over the course in five hours and three minutes, arriving at the line on her re- turn at 1928. The Starlight came in sec ond. Her time was 3-24. about seven min utes behind the Flora. The Ripple was third, arriving at 3.35-56. The Vixen won in class D, arriving at 3-36 O4. The Stranger came in second time, 3-5O-18, The Zephyr third time, 3-54-3S. The Defiance fourth, crossing the line in 43-21.
 The arrangements for the race were carried out in the most satisfactory manner. In the matter of seats and camp stools on the Corn ing, all were provided for. The best of or der was maintained, and everybody seemed pleased with the days enjoyment.
