work The yachts were able carry their jibtopsais
two-thirds Of the way. Although the time Of the
Beatrix is given the table to be found below se
did not compete for the regular club prize Of her Glass;
There was a sweepstakes agreed upon between inc
owners Of the AZ footers, and in consequence, the
Regatta Committee took the Beatrixs time with the
others. Her victory in the class gives yacbtsmen
line with which to compare her with the Gloriana.
The conclusion is that the Beatrix the only centreooard
in the class does so well all points Of sailing that
she will be dangerous opponent for the now famous
Gloriana.
Lurng sharp around the West Chop buoy the yachts
began their windward work In earnest. The Oweene
and sayOnara soon passed the Cinderella, and the
former boat began at once 10 outp0nt the Thayer
slOOp. There was great disappointment because the
Volunteer did not start In such breeze and In Such
good company she would have sailed a good race.
No prct1er start has been seen during the cruise
With fresh breeze from wcstsouthwest the boats all

between the Electra, anchored off East Chop, and the
buoy OF that point Away they went at a splendid
gait the Vineyard Sound laying the courses for
the bell buoy of NObska Point The BeatriX made
sharp luff around it first at IL 80. The Mneoa
cleared II next at IL 33, then the Clara at II "a,
savonara at II 30, and Oweene at IL :35 30.
Charlie" Barr put the Oweene about at once just as
the Hlldegarde and MneDa rounded the buoy, so
close together that -four only avoided by sklfll
handling of the wheel. All hands on the
port tack except the Oweene. Ban left her on the
starboard tack Just five minutes, then let her come
around. HIS father, John Barr, put the Cinderella
about close under the Naushon beach at II "A.
Meanwhile the schooners were having great
race The Marquette blanketed the Oenone when
near the buoy she passed it at IL 36 with the Oenone
only thirty seconds in her wake The other schooners
were coming fast and having great fight. The Cos
soon and Ventura down for the Nobska buoy
with sheets eased the former boat leading By quarter
Of mile. She was carrying a much larger jib than
the Ventura. The Adams BOYS trimmed sheets at the
buoy at IL SO The Mischief was then close on the
Gossoon's weather bow. Mr. Bergen's slOop Hide
gare was well sailed she stuck close ~ The 46foot
ers and made tack for tack with them she was peat
ing both the Bedoun and Clara The Iroquos, May
flower and Merlin in taking of Woods H1il, got IA
irons on account Of the tide. Meanwhile the quick
step and Marguerite having a great fight mile
ahead on the sarboard tack, close IN to the beach
Captain Hansen handled the Quickstep so well that
the Marguerite although a much more powerful boat
was unable to pass her for some time scores Of

the Nineola by half a mile. Tie Cinderella was few
lengths astcrn Of the ineola at this point. some del
of the work of the Beatrx may be gathered from the
fact that when the Mneola came ont by the east
entrance to Tarpaulln Cove, the Beatrx had passed
the west point. The distance between points is Just
