The twen:y-seventh aaamal regatta of
the Pavonia Yacht Club was sailed yes
terday over the club csS:ses in tn, lowe.
bay. Over enc thousand people accom-
panied the yachts over the course. They
were on board of the Laura M. Starin,
watch also carried the judges and mem
eers OF the press. The yachts presented
a pretty picture as they lined up at The
starting point, which was IN imaginary
line between Oyster Islard buoy and a
stake boat anchored about coo feet from
the buoy. The preparatory signal was
given at 11.50 A. NJ. This meant that
the boats should get in position to cross
the line. Some pretty m-anoeuvering was
then done. The starting signal was
blown at exactly y m. The Nomad
Brooklyn Yacht Club, was first to cross
the line: her time was l2:02:01. She was
followed by the Cygnet, New York Ath-
letic Club, at 12:0S:06 The other boats all
came over in good season except The
Elcas, who seemed to be in trouble, and
did not cross over until 1920, losing 80
seconds in the handicap time. The other
boats by this time were far down the
bay making for the first rounding mark.

scented a pretty sight from the judges
boat, as they stood to windward with their
main sheets full and their bows making
white caps as they cut through the waves.
The water became just the least bit
choppy, but this lent excitement to the
race. Before the small boats had reached
their turning mark, which was around
Fort Hamilton buoy, it was seen the race
of the day would be between the Nomad,
owned by w. B. lGrowtage, and the Cyg-
net, owned by Maxy Moore. Thu boats

under II feet. The battle fo3 supremacy
between them was very exciting, and re-
tanned the interest of those on the judges
boat during the race. The Nornad had the
lead until the first burning point was
reached of Swinburne Island, when she
tackled to windward for some reason, and
the Cygnet passed her. When the swash
channel was reached, the Cygnet took
a reef in her ~nafnsheet, and the Nomad
tackled again, and took the lead. The
race from this point to buoy No. II, south
by west Of Coney Island Point, was one
which made the yachtsmen jump for
joy. Old timers on the judges boat
said they never before witnessed such a
race. Both boats tackled, jibed and
manoeuvred to round the buoy first. When
the boats reached the buoy there were
only three feet of water between them,
lead by a foot as they rounded. AS the
