The Indian Harbor Yacht Club Of Greenwich
was signally unfortunate yesterday in not
having any wind whom they tried to sail their
fourth annual regatta on Long Island Sound.
The club. however. had one thing to be thank
full for. even II there was no wind. and that
was that they had broken all records In tho
number OF yachts which crossed tho starting
line. No less than forty -four yachts started.
out OF an entry list OF sixty-one.
The regatta committee early in the after
noon thought that they saw little breeze to
the southwark. and forthwith decided 10 start
the yachts At 1:50 O'Clock the preparator
whistle was blown, and ten minutes later came
the starting signal for all classes over thirty

cross within tho time limit: the others were
all handicapped
At 2:1O o'clock tho starting signal for all

stated as follows In its local columns:
