AN UPSET AND A DISMASTING
THE WIND WAS STRONG AND THE SEA
WAS LUMPY.

YACHTS OF THE NETWORK RACING AssoCIA-
TIoN HAD A LIVELY TIME scRAMBLING
OVER THE LOWER BAY COURSES
The New-York Yacht Racing Association held its
annual regatta yesterday and large fleet OF boats
started in the race The wind blew freshly from
the southeast and those boats which went over the
courses which carried them beyond the Narrows
much tossed about by the sea in the lower
Bay
The capsizing Of OF the racing yachts, the
open soop yacht Mosquito caused considerable
excitement for a time. The Mosquito was below the
Narrows when a sudden puff OF wind carried her
mast away and the sea breaking over her filled her
cockpit and capsized her. All the occupants of the
sloop thrown into the water. The police boat
Patrol with Commissioners kerwln. Sheehan ana
Murray and Superintendent Byrnes on board, was
by and Immediately steamed to the assistance
of the drowning yachtsmen. All the men
were rescued by the Patrol. The Patrol
just in time to save them and when they were
hauled on board most Of them were In condition
which showed that they could not have held out
much longer in the struggle with the waves. Inc
rescued Fred. Eagerman, Robert Miller,
Louis Fowler. George Gilbert George Brown, JULIUS
Tuker and John Winters The comforting heat OF
the Patrols engine-room and the restoratves which
the police officials applied to the rescued men in
liberal quantities soon made the yachsmen all right
again.
Another accident the dismasting Of the cabin
soop Coquette, when she was off Fort Hamilton.
No one on board Of he. was hurt by the accident.
There were about 400 people on board the IRON
steamboat Cygnus, when followed the yachts over
between oyster Island and stakeboat anchored
to the eastward of the buoy at II 80 clock. Half
hundred yachts crossed the line In response To the
starting signal. All crossed on the port tack. M
they had the strong noCd-tide TO contend with going
down. the Ority of the boats soon came about ana
stood toward the Bay Ridge shor,, In an effort
To get out of the tide. Ii was not until toTt Nads,
worth was passed that the full force OF the wind
felt. When the fort was passed the majority
Of the boats had TO reef down.
