Closing Gaieties of the Summer Campaign
 of lS95-A Highly Successful Celebration
 Yesterday.
 The Pequot club had very success full and enjoyable meet yesterday at the Pequot house at Morris Cove.
 The weather was all that could be desired either for pleasure, sailing or for racing. About twenty-five boats participated, among them some from other places. At 2 o'clock the ladies were given pleasant sail along the shore of the sound.
 THE SKlPPERS' RACE.
 After the return of the boats all was made ready for the Shippers race. This was sailed over course of six miles, the start and the finish being in front of the Pequot house, and the whole race could be easily seen from
 that place. At 3:34 the signal was given for the boats to start by gun fired from the flagship Diana.
 There was some misunderstanding at the start as to the firing of the
 starting gun from the flagship Diana.
 The race itself is declared by those
 who witnessed it to have been one of the
 finest sailed in New Haven for five
 years.
 The wind was blowing from the south-
 east at the rate of seven miles an hour.
 The leading boats were nip and tuck
 at the finish, and the Charm, Skipper
 J. Walter Gallagher, crossed the fin
 lsh line only about quarter of length
 in the lead. Time, hour, 34 min
 utes, 54 seconds. The boat Endora, M R. Durham, finished second, and the Ellen E., w. ASHarris, third. The race was contested on the point in dispute at the start and on a foul between the yachts Charm and the Mist. The race was sailed under the racing rules of the New York yacht club. and the judges were Commodore Hinman, George A. Maycock, w. A Harris and M. R. Durham. Owing tc the perplexity of the points in dispute 1t is probable the race will be sailed over again.
