Yacht racing IN New York waters between
boats in the forty-six foot class has already re-
solved itself into nght for second place.
There is no longer any hope OF there being Q
fne race for lrst plnce when the Herroshon
boat aloriaus. owned By Vice Commodore 4. d.
Morgan OF the New York Yacht Club, starts un-
less she happens to break down. which event
does not appear likely to occur. In every race
she has sailed tho Gloriana has left her would.
be competitors SO far astern that she has prac-
tically gone over the course alone. She did 1t
again yesterday. and 10 likely to keep on win
ming throughout the season. unless she II

aRsment of tho Corinthian Yacht Club. an or.
gauization which has always seemed to have .
charm over tho weather. 1t has been lucky In
having brceze In about evory race 1t has
started. tho wind yesterday sprineing up from
the southeast just before the start and holding
true and quite steady to tho finish. A number
OF boats had to be towed out from Day Ridge,
but down In the Nnrrows thoy found wind. and.
with the aid Of an ebb tide. were soon to tho
starting line ut Buoy II.
Tho Corinthian Yacht Club classlfes boats
for racing by racing or corrected length. that
is. the length obtained By adding together tho
square root Of tho estimated Fail area ana
water-llne length and dividing the sum by two.
This classification brought F. P. Sands cutter.
Uvira, Fife boat. only about forty-two feot
on the water line. down into tho class Of forty
footers which sailed in cruising trim With no
club topsails. Tho cruising trim part satisfied
Mr.. Sands exactly. for 1t waslearned yesterday
that he did not come to New YORK from Newp port
to race. He sailed With the Glorlana at New
port recently. SO thought he would come down
and look on. but he was not averse 10 having
a Try with the cruising forties Llris and Mari
ouita. So he went In and won by . small
margin. II no had had to allow much he
would have boon beaten. but as It was the
Uvira defeated the others on elapsed time. and
was given an allowance besides.
The club tried one-Run starts. the time Of tho
40 and 46-footer being taken at 1926 r. NJ. and
that OF the rest at 1881 p. NJ. Tho two larger
classes sailed the regular Scotland Lightship
