The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1894-08-06

aud the Dawn at :45:31. The only ex-
eltement In this class was betw cen the
Dawn and the Edna, as it was seen in the
prevailing wind it would only be ques-
hon now badly they wGuld be beaten by
the Queen. The Edna kept ahead of the
Dawn until they commenced to beat home
when the latter pulled ahead.
Commodore Cutie signaled for three
whistles at l 80 to start the third class
Inc Florence was the first to cross the line
al 81 :07, followed by the Fawn at 80 H.
tue Lutte Annie at 1884 the TruaDt az
l :55 sc, the Naiad at :56 ID aud the Sur
prise at 1924. The interest in this class
was conferred in the Trnant, Naiad and
Fawn, as. after Shag Rock had been
passed, it was seen that these crafts would
take the places. The Florence was not
sailing up TO her standard. The Little
Annie had carried away her boWstay just
before crossing, and could not be pushed,
and the Surprise. new craft, was not foot
ing il well. On the beat home the yachts
men were surprised to see the Naiad hold
the Truant down, for the former had
never been looked upon as a racer. but
lust tue same the Naiad was hanging on to
the Truant
Arp. NJ. classes four and five were sent
off. The crafts were twenty-five feet and
under, and it meant rough and wet work
for those aboard. The Oracle crossed
first at 300 AZ, followed by the Catherine
at 2:01 :OS, the Flash at . 100 :3S, the Major
at 2 :02 100, the Dan at 2:03 AT, the May at
2:04 :0I and the Stranger at 2:10:39 This
was all that were in the fourth class. The
fifth class. that started at the same time,
had but three to cross the line. the Cor
nelia at 2:02 :08, the Cisne at 2:03:24 and
the Minnie at 2:09:10.
just after crossing the line two of these
crafts came TO grief. The Dan carried
away her ssarboard rigging and the Major
parted her jib halyard, causing both to
slowly return. Flash had things all her
own way going over the course in shape
that did justice to her past glories. She
finished at 2:55:1S. making the course in 81
minutes and 50 seconds, corrected time,
with the Stranger second, finishing al
3:10:10, with corrected time for the dis
lance of 80 minutes aud 81 seconds. The
May took third, finishing at 3:06:l0. cor
rected time l :01 30. Next came the Oracle
at 3:05:50, corrected time :04 :39.
Here was something to Startle the
yachtsmen. Doc Hill has covered himself
with glory. He has at last placed the
Oracle. The judges could not believe it
and had the doctor brought before them to
find out if he had turned every mark.
Next came the Catherine at 3:12:4S.
Corrected time. :09 40.
In the fifth class the Minnie won, finish
ing at 1926: 07. Corrected time. 1:12 40
The Csne was second at 3:22:26. Cor
rected time, 1892.
, The Sappho passed the Chispa just l
minute and seconds ahead of the Froic
and seconds better than this ahead of
the Rover on the first half.
1t was a hard old race between the
Frolic and the Rover. The former had
only gained 8 seconds on the first half.
The Frolic came for the turning point and
lust as she was abreast of it she was
forced about oy the Rover, which had the
right of way, being on the starboard.
They both made for the mark. the FrolIc
being under the Rover's lee. The former
slowly pulled through, but was forced
onto the Chispa's bowsprit. For this foul
the Frolic was ruled out, when in fact the
Rover should have been ruled out for
causing the accident, under the rules.
On the latter half OF the race the wind
somewhat lightened and the Sappho could
do nothing moro than hold her lead, but
McCarhy's experience in the waters
about Sausalito stood him in good stead.
On the second tack. after passing the bell
stakeboat be stood we'll out toward the
head where he got stronger winds, while
the other held on and ran into very light
winds. Mccarthy made for the finishing
line, and when within a quarter of a mile
of it went about again, making a very
short tack. 1t looked as if this move
would cost him the race, when in fact it
was this that gave him the cup. When
he came up this time he was but few
feet astern of the Chispa and tackled
across the line.
The Frolic and Rover by holding on to
their course ran into dead calm. and it
was fully two minutes before they got
wind enough to cross. The Sappho fin
ished at :00:26. making the course, cor
Tected time, l 26 :04; the Rover second at
3 :03 :54, corrected time 1 :28 :02: the F'rolic
third at :03:24, corrected time / :2S 80.
By winning this race the Sappho becomes
the absolute owner of the silver cup.
In class the Queen made the first half
in fl minutes and Is seconds the Dawn in
in 43 minutes and 10 seconds, and tile
Edna in 40 minutes and q seconds. The
Queen for this distance was the fastest of
the whole fleet On the second round the
Dawn carried away her mainsail close 10
the boom, which forced her to drop out

ished at 1907 20; corrected time, "a 49,
