Corinthtan colGrs in the International racs en-
Lake Sc. Louis. IL was under blue skies and tho
most tickle OF summer Eephyrs that the second
OF uag series was decided yesteruly or Centre
Island. The course WIS nomlnally windward
and tceward. two miles 10 A leg. and sailed over
three times. making twelve nautical miles.
But the wind, which travelled almost all around
the compass. made the race anything but . test
OF windward and leeward work Nevertheless.
the Momo. sailed by C. Il. Crane, won the trial.
notwithstanding that she had the worst OF the
luck throughout the day.
There seems to be little question that she Is
the best coat OF the feet in all-aruund work. but
the Skate. designed by Larry Huntington. and
sailed by Irving Cox. proved that under certain
conditions-reaching Oh the wiad-she was q
wonderfully speedy 0oat. As the racers, how

leave about Aug. 1. and will be tuned up against

Canada. It u unfortunate that The AlInka was
not in shape TO finish the race yesterday as she
has many stanch supporters who eelieve that
she. next TO the Mono, is the sueediest OF the
feet. The selection now appears TO lie between
the Skate. Shark. and MontaIk. The latter has
done excellent work in both races. hUt not quite
good enough to win. The Eeneu was sailed in q
more u!asterly fashion than any OF the others
yesterday. but notwithstanding this advantage
was beaten nearly two minutes by The leader.
which practically places her out OF the hunt.
shortly after IL o'clock the Regatta Commit
tees steamer started toward the black spar
buoy Oh Centre Island which marked the be-
ginning and end Of the race. The breeze was
light from west by north and after q slight de-
lay the course was announced TO wtndvard and
return. The launch Corinthtan was sent away
TO log the course. which was two miles up the
Sound. The outer mark was placed abreast Of
the western end Of Oak Neck Point. The trss
boat to reach the starting point was the Skate,
aboard OF which were Irving Cox. D. Leroy
Dresser. and George Bullock. Since Mondays
race her snowy top sides had been covered with
an uneven coat OF yellow varnish. and she
looked anything but an ideal cup ch Lllenser
