Jailed the Beatrix at the Nshant mark and allowed

an informal brush, but General Paine ACKNOWLEDGED
that she beat the AIboraL 1t may be safely sad th'

The Mildred among the smaller boats added 10
markable in that she was modelled by an amateur

When the race was started, at about IL 30 the wnd
blew freshly from the northeast and heavy sea was
running on the reef Of NOrmans Woe ana the
cracs OF the Marblehead white foam dashed Itself
right into the air like a banner torn with nylns'
bright sun was shining and the wnd
showed signs Of falling The schooner Merlin
ytent over Grst followed by the May1ower, the
Oenone and the Triton. Then came the Other ooats'
most Of them being handicapped. The course lay
from Half Way Rock out 10 the Whistling Buoy OH
the entrance Of Gloucester Harbor. the w'nd gre"
lighter There seemed TO be more wind IN toward
the shore where the Beatrix was doing WELL and the
schooncrs tackled and stood in TO get the advantage OF
-etber for that or for fear that thoy were too far
TO leeward 10 make the buoy. After rounolne the
buoy the feet ran with spinnakers out tor uhe
Eastern Yacht Club turning buoy nine and one-han
miles away, on course south by west. BEFORE the
vochts reached It they lay with loosely hanging sahs
awaiting the breeze which indications far away TO the
soutbward showed was looming up from That olrecuoh
Finally Il come and the yachts hauled on the wind
standing for the buoy. Tho Beatrx led the nee' anu
6etSeen her and the Gossoon was long pathway OF
rol,inp SIM LIT water The Beatrlx made the pathway
longer every moment She was so far ahead when the
huov was Turned that II seemed she must win the
race in spite OF about ton minutes Time allowance
which she gave the Gossoon. By this time the MerIn
Triton Wayward saladin and Mignon were out OF the
race The Maynard was sailing all alone IN her class
From the turning buoy the course for the small
boais was directly back to Hall Way Rock, but the
others reached over for the Nahan mark Of the rocky
chores of Nahant. Before the Beatri1 reached the
mark the wind began to fail rapidly and when she had
rounded II she was almost stationary for awhile, and the
other yachts d1ifted upon her. Finally, just before,
from the neighbong shore. was heard the curfew OF
the diving SUM- the bells Of Lynn. another breeze came
blowing and freshenng 1t blew, out OF the north
east to carry the yachts to the finish at Half Way
Rock The MayHower finished at 1890: 40; her
actual time was s1O:41 and her corrected e:0S:OS.
