 Summary of the Contests.
 The fourth annual fall regatta of the Volunteer Sailing club was sailed yes terday.
 The race was sailed over the regular club course of four miles, This extends from an imaginary line between Canal dock and the judges boat, anchored op- posite it, to the black spar buoy, leav- ing it on the port hand, thence to and around the red spar buoy, leaving 1t on the starboard hand, then to the Pardee bar buoy, leaving it on the starboard hand, and then a straight finish back to the line between the judges boat and Canal dock.
 The race was booked for 10.90 a. m. and some time before that hour quite fleet of catboats, sloops and sharples were being got in readiness for the race at the clubs anchorage off Long wharf. There were quite a large number of good sailors among the number and the whole fleet looked very pretty as they sailed out into the harbor preparatory to the start. As one man expressed it.: Fair shines the moon And soft the zephyr blows,
 As gliding are the azure realm In stately pride the gilded vessel goes, Youth at the prov and pleasure at the helm." A slight breeze was blowing shortly before the time set for the race, but this soon died away completely, and after a vexatious delay of some time in hopes that the wind would freshen, man date was issued from the. judges boat postponing the. race till 2p. m, At that hour a stiff breeze was blow Ii ing from the southwest. At about 2:15 the preparatory signal was given from | the judges boat. Five minutes later the signal was given for the boats in class c, the sharpies, to go; then three minutes later for the boats in class B, the sloops, and three minutes after the sIoops the eatboats in class A were started.
 The Endora, w. F, Duncan, Skipper A. McKean, was the last boat to start, but made the fastest time over the course. This is the boat that took the second prize in the Pequot races at Mor- | ris Cove last Friday. The Whisper, which held the challenge cup in class A for last year, was outsailed by both the Endora and Lucia. In class B the race was very closely contested and the winning boat was not known till after the corrected time of
 the boats had been ascertained.
 The Vigilant won in class c.
 As a result of yesterdays races the challenge cup for class A passes from the Whisper, B. L. Rhea, to the Endora, w. T. Duncan, while in class B the Ia Ra. B. McDermott, and In class c the Vigilant, J. Danhouser, secure final pos session of the cup in their respective classes, having won them in two sue cessive races.
