regatta yesterday afternoon. In consequence.
a half race was called a full one. which, while
not satisfactory to tho crowd of pleasure SOCK
ers gathered in and about the clubhouse Mt Glen
Cove. served TO tickle the victors with rather
cheaply won trophies. Not one OF the eager
spectators grioved moro over the dcathly fat
ness of the water than tho members of the Re-
gatta Committed, who had secured q list of
forty.seven entries in the various classes.
or this original list there were twenty.six
boats to cross the line, and all Of these finished
in good form, with the single exception Of tho
English-built 20-footer Shrimp. which, in the
calm that succeeded the start, seemed In danger
of drifting back to tho Sea Cliff anchorage. but
was saved by the allegro. which took her In tow.
The course for the largo boats was from an
imaginary line between two stakeboats anchored
of the clubhouse to and around the Larchmont
Yacht Club white spar buoy of the "Yellow
Banks" thence TO and around the black spar
buoy of Mattinicock Point, and return to tho

but 1t was 2 o'clock when the report OF the stnrt-
ing gun routed the slumbering echoes. and five
minutes later. the 43. SO. and 80 foot classes
forged toward the line under the gentle i'm.
pulse Of the northerly breeze. All boats crossed
on the port tack and had to face the turn Of the
tervals Of drifting. The second leg for all
classes was a broad reach. Later the wind
shifted outh-southeas making 1t q beat home.

At the starting limo the Presto and Win or
Lose had a trifiing difference as to right OF
course. and when the former defeated the latter
by the narrow margin of five seconds a protest
followed which the Regatta Committee will
pass upon. 1t was not possible to secure the cor
rected time figures. However, 1t was not diff
cult to Gull the winning craft at the finish. and
