The Larchmont Yacht Club held their animal
fell regatta on the Sound yesterday. and while
there was rather meagre showing Of two
stckers all OF the other classes filled well. and.
az is usual with everything connected with this
club the regatta was successful In every way.
In all. something like forty-two yachts crossed
the starting line. and though there was little
wind in the morning fine southwesterly breeze
sprang up at O'Clock, and Larchmont luck"
was again eIemplified BY a splendid race and an
early finish
II there was a dearth OF entries in the schooner
classes, no such complaint could he made
about the ~ footers or cabin CATS as no less than
nine Of the little 81 -footers took part in the race
while the Mary Almira. Kittie Onaway. and
keora had great fight for first honors among
the cats. In addition to the above the Wasp and
Gloriana had another Of their old-time fights in
the 48-foot class. and as usual the more modern
Wasp came on with flying colors.
The only schooners to race were the Elsemarie
and shamrock and, though Commodore sutton
OF the Loyal was fairly spelling for q race, he
could not get competitor. The majority Of
people thought the Elsemarie would beat the
shamrock without much trouble, but they were
disappointed. Designer wintringham sailed
Mr.. Maxwell's old schooner in faultless style and
gave her a chance to show what she could do.
which she has not had for some time. The
result was she gave the Elsemarie good three
minute beating. and again demonstrated the
fact that in light airs she has few superiors in
her class.
The Almira, Mary, and Kittie had an old.
time tussle. and while the Hanan boys won
cleverly sailed race on the Almira by n few sec
onds from the kittie, the latter boat sailed a
great race. having TO come up class, and thus
did not receive her regular allowance for length.
The Ellsworth boys were sailing IL splendid
race on the Mary when their patent gaf again
went back on them, leaving them helpless Of,
Matinicock The Mary's patent fxings have
caused her to lose more races than they have
ever won for her, and while the saying OF few
ounces Of weight aloft IL great thing In q
ing boat, 1t seems to have been carried to excess
in the Mary, and old things are sometimes best
OF course the race OF the day was in the 2l-foot
class. in which the entire fleet OF these little
9 very pretty race Of II for Z. while. but the
Eaquero; as usual got away first. and finished
first. with the Adelaide which is now painted
royal blue, like Queen victoria's yacht Albert
and Victoria close second.
The continued victories OF the Naquero, while
not popular i'll some quarters. are richly de-
served. as there is no better-sailed boat in the
fleet, and. in addition TO this. Mr.. Herman Dur
yea, who, owns and sails her, has kept her in
Arst day he owned her which account. in no
small measure for her success.
Mr.. Duncan. who was accompanied by his
wife. sported new suit of diagonal sails on the
