paratvely easy task yesterday because the weather
provided for nothing but clear, plain sailing all
round.
Commodore Eustis L. Hopkins said the wind was
souwest by SOU half-sou'-though he wasn't ready
to swear to the extra half sou'." And 1t sent the
yachts the course In excellent time. All the
sioops and cabin catboats went three times around
the club triangle, a total distance Of fifteen miles,
while the smaller classes traversed 1t twice This
lay from the starting line TO the channel
buoy off Whortleberry Island, thence TO the buoy
northeast Of Execution Light, and back This gave
the boats a beat to the first mark. an easy reach
TO the second and quartering breeze home.
The regatta was especially well favored in the
entries Of five special thrties, and the start made
by this quintet perhaps the best OF the sea-
son. AS usual Mr.. Ellis took his Hera over the
line first. This about the "'steenth' time he
has done this. and he plays the one-gun start for
all 1t is worth. and better than any one else In
the fleet But as Mr. Dodge dryly says. 1.-The In
terest o. spectators concentrates rather more at
the other end Of the race" and II must be admitted
that Mr. Duryea seems quite unable to shake of
the habit Of finishing first. In spite OF Mr.. Ellis
good starts. close to VaqUero III came the Neda
