Only Three Craft Finish in the Newark
Bay Yacht Clubs Regatta.
The second annual sweepstakes regatta
of the Newark Bay Yacht Club, of Bay
oune, was held yesterday, oyer a five-mile
course, on Newark Bay, with the start
ing point off the organizations club
house on the Bayonne shore, at the foot
of West Twenty-fourth street, Centre
willie. Just before three O'Clock the sig
nal for the start was given, and a dozen
small craft quickly scudded across the
line. Before any of the feet reached the
first stakeboat they were struck by the
first of the series of squalls which pre-
ceded the terrific thunderstorm.
The succeeding squalls made the skip
pers and their crews work lively for some
minutes to save their craft and them
selves. Those aboard three of the smaller
cats put about and ran for harbor, fearing
the blow was too strong for their boats to
withstand. Three others of the yachts
were disabled and compelled to withdraw
in consequences from the race; One craft
was disqualified and two others did not
finish, leaving only three yachts that were
sailed over the curse. The illluck at
tending the event and the storm caused
considerable discontinue among the large
crowd OF spectators ashore. A summary
