MARBLEsElp. Mass. July lG.-ror the FRS,
time this season all the Eastern 46.footers
have trad conclusions In race in which all
the conditions were eaunl, and the owsene to.
hight claims tho title OF Queen OF the Eastern
feet In light weather the Beatrix cannot
touch her. but the question OF superiority ia
heavy weather is yet 4 be demonstrated. Te.
days race was special event arranged by the
Massachusetts Yacht Club and it was an un-
qualified success. 1t revealed several points
concerning which there has been some doubt
in the minds OF yachtsmen both In New York
and In Boston. In light wind the Oweene can
beat tho Beatrix by rather close margin: the
Fife boat Barbara is no match for elther. and
the Paine boat Alborak Ia apparently a failure
rs racing boat. The Oweene and the Beatrix
are the only ones upon which Bostonians can
have any hope OF beating the Glorlann. In q
light breeze the Oweene would DO Boston's
representative.
Tho Oweene won on her sailing qualities
alone. Tho Beatrix contested every foot OF
the course tack for tack. and was fairly beaten.
But the great surprise OF tho day was the over
whelming defeat administered to tho Fife boat
barbara. by both OF the crack Burgess boats.
The Black Scotohman was left far astsrn and
without my excuse except lack Of speed. Even
the 4O-foot Gossson gave the foreigner a good
race. boat for boat and beat her on allowance.
1t was the Barbnras first race and her sailing
was great surprise. Instead Of showing the
way. rs many had confidently expected she
would do, she dropped SO far astern as to be
outclasssd. leaving the Oweene and Bsatrix to
battle for the championship OF the Eastern
feet.
The Alborak was entered. but Just before
the race Mr. Paine decided not to start. She
was given try Yesterday ana did not behave
horself rs had been hored. so the Aborak did
not race. But she tried conclusions with the
other boats Just the same. and the result was
30 discouraCine as to make 1t exc esdiugly
doubtful IL tho Paine boat ever sails in another
race. The first leg was = dead bent to wind
ward. and the Alborak dropped astern with
each tack. She could not begin TO hold her
own with the Gossoou even, boat for boat.
Commodore Paino was at the holm. and he
stuck 1t out until thrse-uuarters OF the dis
lance on the first leg had been covered. Then
he gave 1t up in disgust and started for port
wondering what allied the boat anyway. Whom
he saw the Oweene booming along on the Soc
ond leg under q big spread Of canvas he cut
across to see what his boat could do in running
before the wind. But no was no better pleased
with her work in that direction for even as
runner the Alborak was no match Tor the
