The regatta which has long been looked
for took place yesterday amid showers
of rain. The judges boat was anchored
abreast of the National Rubber Com
pany's pier and beautifully decorated
with bunting from the end Of her fiying
jib-boom to her truck and from her truck
to the end of her main boom, presenting
beautiful scene for the many sight
seers who tbronged the piers and beach.
As early as 12 o'clock Measurer Goddard,
assisted by Mr.. Whitman had completed
his work of measuring the boats for the
various classes they were Supposed to
enter, each boat as measured being num-
bered upon her mainsail.
At 1890 they began to get ready and the
beautiful bay presented scene never be-
fore witnessed by the oldest inhabitants
Rubber suits and Cape Ann Oil skins
seemed to predominate on board. At
o'clock the judges and committee were
conveyed on BOARD Of the Surf, the judges
boat, and at 1:30 the warning gun was
discharged. At 200 the second gun was
fired and the first class passed by the
judges boat in the following order: The
Alice, cat,-y wi, Charles +. Herreshofi,
Peggie and Rom of the first
all getting the word 40 from the judges
as they passed. At an interval OF fifteen
minutes the gun was again discharged
for the second-class to start. which they
did in the following order: Kickamnt,
Lorene, Allie, Asphradel and u. S. The

Nothing of note happened during
the starting of the boats. but a heavy
rain fell which seemed to delight the
boatman as they pulled their heads down
into their oil skins aud looked to the
windward catching every movement OF
misunderstanding between the Pawnee
and the cat-yaul Tarpoon of the fourth
class. The committee had placed n stake
boat about third of mile to the wind
ward Of the buoy of Pappoosesquash
Point.
Mr. Saunders, who sailed the Tarpoon,
supposed he had TO round the stakeboat
instead of the buoy, which he did, and
the Pawnee rounded the buoy. Each
boat was supposed to have the printed
takes. But for this error he would un-
doubtedly taken the prize, although the
Pawnee, according TO the judges ruling,
will receive the first prize. The following
are the winners in first class:
Alice, first prize and the challenge cup;
sloop Marcia, second. Second class
Kickamuit, first prize Lorene, second
Asphrodel. third, and Alice fourth. the
L. S. taking the consolation prize. Third
class-First prize, Nora second, Sprite;
third. Thistle, and fourth, Loretta, the
Razzle Dazzle taking the consolation
prize. Fourth class-Pawnee, first prize
Tarpoon, second; A. Oliver, third; White
Cap, fourth; no consolation, all other

ing the consolation prize.
The regatta from start to finish was a
great success. The committee are de-
serving of great credit for the work they
have performed. II has already aroused
feeling of emulation which has com
pletely crazed the lovers of boating, and
another regatta will be sailed upon the
Fourth.
