e. F.P Tyler handled the Jewel, c. W. Ran \ som the Vixen,C. R. Waterhouse the Wanda, c. M. Peck the Marguerite, T.. J. Hammer \ the Flora and J. M. Macauley the plucky lit \ tie Stranger.
 The other yachts of the fleet were under ! the command of professional sailing masters. There were no competitors in class No. l, \ the sloop Concord not sailing. The Jewel, ' Vidette and Sea Belle did not cross within \ the prescribed six minutes and were handi- ' capped the difference bstween the time they \ actually crossed and the six minutes after \ the starting blast.
 The boats in class 9, the Flora, Marguerite \ and the Wilful, crossed the line about the ! same time The Flora crossed first, the Mar \ guerite was close after her, only about one | minute behind. Commodore Clark's Wilful, \ the flagship of the fleet, remained behind and ' did not cross until Il a. m.
 About 1 o'clock the wind died out, but | freshened in a short time and good breeze sprung up which sent the fleet toward the ' old Stratford light buoy, the turning point, \ at good pace.
 ON BOARD THE STARIN. On board the steamer John H. Starin, which accompanied the fleet on the race, were merry party of invited guests. The steamer left the dock at the foot of Brewery street at 1915 a. m. with about 800 people aboard. She dropped down to the starting point and waited until the yachts had crossed the line, thus giving all an excellent oppor- tunity to witness the manoeuvers of | the yachtsmen and the starting of the
 race. From then on she kept as near the contesting boats as the rules would permit, and from her decks fine view of the race could be had. On board the steamer the pleasure of the day was greatly enhanced by the excellent concert given by Thomas orchestra. The programme was of twenty numbers, and many of the selections ,a1 onrNIaV nhaI served tempting dinner, although many brought their lunch and made up merry little parties at dinner in shady hooks on the deck. Many of the young people took advantage of \ ssIect one. There were no tickets sold earu \ member having them at his dispoeai such
 party as desired was possible. The Vixen, although the first to cross the | line and to head for the stake boat, did not \ long retain her lead. When the Hull in the wind came, about l o'clock, the whole fleet was drawn up in seeming battle array. When ' the breeze came, shortly after, the Stranger took the lead. She kept well to the front from that time on until the finish. She round ed the buoy and started homeward 6minutes before the Flora, which was the second to get there. The Marguerite was the third to get around and start on the home run. At 3:15 the last of the fleet had rounded the buoy and started homeward. There was a geod sailing breeze coming home. The Stranger was the first boat in. The gun from the Darling announced that the winning boat had crossed the line at 3:30:24, corrected time being 4:48:24. The Stranger will take
 the special prize for the best time of the fleet, also winding the challenge cup of class
 4. Flora, class ?, finished at 3:39:59, win ming the Derby challenge cup. The Mar guerite, class 2, was about six minutes be-
 hind the Flora at the finish. In the third
 class the Wanda finished first, Ceres second,
 Thalia third
 The Jewel will take the special prize offer
 ed for the best time outside of the prize win
 ners.
 The Venus, belonging to Mir. Graves, and
 the Dare Devil of c. c. AnGel, belonging to
 the club, although not entered, sailed over
 the course with the competing yachts. They
 would have come under class 5. The Venus
 was the second boat home and the Dare Devil
 the fifth

 no accidents to mar the pleasure of the day.

 aground was avoided this year.
