There was not little disappointment
that Mr. Forbes did not enter the Volun-
teer in the sloop class, and In this way
give experts q chance 10 see her against
the Navahoe. AS IL was, the Navahoe had
q walkovcr, but delighted everybody by
her fine showing. In the schooner class
1t was CLOSE work for the Emerald, as
both the Ariel and Marguerite were ut her
heels at the finish.
Details of the Race.
The fleet left the harbor at about IL
o'clock, and after arriving at Station
point were obliged to walt nearly three
hours before the breeze was sufficiently
strong to Garry the yachts over the course
Of 30 miles, the first leg to Block Island.
OF the sloops, the Gloriana was the drst
to cross the line at 1:20:24, closely fol
lowed by the Queen Nab, Wasp and Nava-
hoe and the Ilderim, In order named, and
very little difference In time. The Nava-
hoe began 20 show her windward qualities
at once, rapidly passing her rivals. The
Queen Nab was close second, holding up
20 windward well.
The Navahoe made three long legs and
rounded the stakeboat two minutes ahead
Of the Queen Nab, which was six minutes
ahead of the Emerald. The other yachts
were far behind, their hulls not being dis
cernible.
On the second leg the Navahoe, followed
by the other yachts, sot her spinnaker.
She also showed her speed here and
quickly opened the space between her and
the second boat On this leg the schooner
Emerald passed the Wasp, which practi-
cally gave her and the Navahoe the cups.
The Queen Nab made plucky race, how
ever, and allowed no other boat to pass her.
At the Finish.
At 5:o7 the Navahoe rounded the mark
at West island and started for the finish
line, she giving several Of the smaller
steam yachts good race.
