A Fine Start in the Clubs 9th

Especial Interest In the Race Between
Crack Naphtha Launches,

The twenty-seventh annual regatta of
the Columbia Yacht Club was started
this morning from II stakeboat anchored
of the Club landing at EiShty-sixth
street, North River. The wind blew
from the southwest at a moderate rate.
The start was one OF the prettiest ever
made In n regatta, all the yachts going
over within handicap time except one
vessel.
a novel feature OF the Columbia re-
gattas Is the fact that they may be
watched from start to finish without the
necessity of accompanying the yachts
over the course. The clubhouse Is
at the foot of the frowning cliffs that
form Washington Heights, and the
broad veranda that looks out across
the river at the Palisades furnishes an
ideal vantage ground from which the
river can be scanned from Hoboken to
Yonkers.
The course for all sailing craft was
from the start to a stakeboat of the
ionkers Corinthian Yacht Club, at Yon-
kers, and return. Special interest was
attached to the race between the naphtha
launches Cleopatra and Georgiette. Each
owner has claimed to have the fastest
craft of its class In existence, and to-
days match Is expected to demonstrate
which IL the superior.
The various classes were started by
