while the schooners give little more than the results

After waiting for a couple OF boats TO arrive. the
REGATTA Committee. consisting OF L. f. EruSger-

came the Carolina owned by Pembroke Jones. this
boat having arrived too late TO make good start.
The Vaquero I. owned by w. g. Brokaw. was
towed from Larchmont the start very late, which
partly accounts for her defeat by the Cuantuck

These were the Shark and the ASHORE ard for

the Wasp was able TO carry her canvas, she came

the directions supplied by the club are not care
fully perused. I. ". Hoyt did not enter any pro-

was called to the point. In the absence Of the
