lack Of wind afterward, the yachts sho-
ceeded yesterday in making only half the
course of 20 miles in the 20-mile heat to
windward. The Puritan squarely out.

nearly two mileSin 20. A haze settled
upon the bay all morning, and there was
no wind from any quarter until nearly
noon. At $3.50 P. NJ, when the judges of
the boat arrived at the outer mark, it was
shutdown. The wind was growing lighter,
and the yachts being then two miles to the
leeward il was evident that the race could
not be sailed within the required time OF
the limit of seven hours, 80 the Regetta
Committee ordered it postponed until to-
day, when the boats will start at the same

Hamilton. Billhimer has just returned

Trustees I ever saw In my life. They
looked sad and forsaken, but offered nc
apologies or explanations concerning theil

for q good part Of the mischief. I dom
