Az The regatta OF the Cornthlan Yacht Club yester
dav one idea was borne In upon tse minds OF tbose
who noticed It, and that that II was really 700
had of f. T. Morgan TO sail the Goriana In the way no
did Apparently the Gloriana had no regard FOR tne
feelings of the other boats her class, or Tor that
matter for the feelings of the boats in any other Glass;
II Mr. Morgan would hereafter only tow boat astern
or put out drag or do anything 10 check the speed
of the Glorana, 10 certainly would be taken as
very great compliment by the owners Of the other
forty footers The that the Glorana won ass
week are computed by expert yachtsmen TO have cost
the owners Of the other forty ooters no less than
! s65 900 by the deterioration of their boats.
Yesterday the Glorfana, waited by light breezes
over smooth seas, out 10 victory. Against her
were tive boats against whom she had not previously
sailed whose praises had been sung In many changing
keys, the Uvira and sayonara one the production Oh
Fife of Fairlie and the other the offspring OF inc
genius of Burgess. The result Of the race was as
has always been since early last week. that remarkable
boat, the Glonana, first burst upon the vision OF
| astcunded yachtsmen.
The Delwyn sailed good race against the Kathleen
but Charlie Stevenson the welknown actor, who was
at her helm, Is more at homo behind the footlghts
than he Is at the tiller Of yacht On rounding the
Southwest Spit the way home, the Delwyn did not
| set her sphnaker, while all the other yachts
threw full canvas to the breeze as soon as
the Southwest Spit was rounded. and the
wind fair the finish. Besides this Mr. stevenson
hampercd the boat by keeping her sails trimmed 100
much aft The Kathleen beat her. and IL in all proba-
biDty better boat bnt II the Devyn could ever win
race with the Kathleen, she could have done 1t yes
| teriay had she been well sailed.

when the signal given to start and the yachts were
soon away, without being handicapped
Among the yachts which entered was singular
looking crnft called the Chppaway. This boat went
| with her class around the Southwest Spit and then
i home, and beat the Smuggler. Her owner was so
| much pleased with her victory that he Immediately
sent off word to her designer to sell her If possible
Several curious yachts have appeared this season In
New-York Bay but mono has been more extraordinary
| than the Chppaway. She has draught, she is not
o yacht, she Is not boat, she Is only plank with
sails but she good In smooth water and light winds
But the extraordinary inc0ngruty of such type as this
| the utter impOssibiy of such type making any
Roadway living in seaway, perfectly justified the
owner who, at considerable expense, had her built
In Immediately sending of word to sell her at any
price Immediately after her victory.
The course of the larger yachts was from the
Craven Sound Buoy just below the Narrows around
the Southwest Spit and then to and around the Scot
land Lightship and home The smaller yachts only
went around the southwest Spit buoy. The principal
interest OF the OF course centred I'm the forty
| six -tooters and IN the forty -f00ters.
The IIvlra which was heretofore supposed to be a
forty sx.footer and which was built by Fife Of
Fare 10 sail In that class, elected to sail in the
| forty footer class. The Sayonara, that fOrty-six-
footer which had 10 be regarded almost myth
ical because she had appeared In many entries and
had not yet sailed in single race came in In her
proper class, With the forty footers Poor Say
onaral she suffered the fate Of all the forty-six-
footers before her. for she the last who with the
sharp point Of her lance struck the shield of the
| Gloriana Soon otter the started there was a
collision between the Chppaway the absurd boat built
| BY Chaplain, and tho 6muggler. The Smuggler was
entrey in the wrong and after the collision put back
knowing that IL she did win te In her class she
| would be deprived of her prize. When the Smugger
struck the Chippaway she knocked her designer. Mr.
| Clapham overheard. Quickly she came about, fshed
Mr. Chaplain ont Of the water. and then placed him
aboard the Chhppeway.
From the start to the Southwest Spit the Gloriana
] beat the Jessca minutes and 30 seconds She beat
! the SayOnara minutes and seconds. Tile Jessica
beat the sayonara on this leg 81 seconds From the
Southwest Spit out to the Scotland Lightshp the
Glorlana gained on the Jessica minutes and 48 SEQ
| onds She gained on the sayonara minutes and
81 seconds. The Jessca on the reach out to Scotland
| Litbtship did well, and gained on the Sayonara l
minute and seconds The Iris sailing against the
Mariquta, gained minutes. When the yachts
rounded the Scotland Lightshp the Glorfana was so
for ahead that the only interest in the race remained
with the Others Of her class and that interest was az

Yachts. after reaching to the Southwest Spit buoy

the Kathleen beat the Devyn by minutes seconds
the Chippaway won in her class. and the Sea Gull IN

This race has proven that two Of the forty footers

tbe lorana as the boats which heretofore have sailed
with her There remain now the Alborak the Beatrix
and Ilderim Of the forty foot class which the

should be so much better than the ones the Gorlana
has already met as even to make interesting race.

will test their speed against the Goriana- Prophecies
