The Larchmont Yacht Club celebrated, as
usual, the glorious Fourth with their eighteenth
annual regatta, which was sailed In q good.
brisk, southwesterly breeze. The fieet Of yachts
was tho largest that has been started in any re-
gotta this year. and, 90 the breeze held through
out, all the races were fairly contested. In tho
big schooner class the Colonia, the Emerald,
and the Amorita raced together for the Colt Cup,
and, as ono yachtsman remarked, 1t was very
properly won by Commodore Postley's Colonia.
The Colonia seemed to DO better handled yostor-
day than she was In some Of her former races.
she beat the Emerald by Q minutes and 80 SEQ
onds, nearly all Of which she gained on tho first
round.
Percy Chubh, owner Of the vigilant, and
Royal Phelps Carroll. owner Of the Navahoe. in
avery sportsmanlike manner, arranged a race
between their two yachts, agreeing to sail boat
against boat without timo allowance. This was
a particularly interesting contest. because IL was
the first time these two yachts had ever met in a
race. Tho Vigilant won the race by four minutes
and two seconds.

cruising trim, Vice Commodore dams's Sachem
was the only ono 70 cross the line, evidently
having scared all the others out. He sailed over
the course alone for the prize. syco won from
the AVA and Sistae, q boat that came from
Bristol with q great reputation. but did not
mako any remarkable showing in the race. In
the 3e-foot CLASH tho Acushla met tho Surprise
again and this time she won. Tho Acushla has
been remeasured and she 10 nearly four feet
smaller than tho Surprise. so she Is in receipt of
considerable time allowance.
In the yawl class tho Sakana won handily.
Tho Vaquero III. won the 30-foot class race,
with Hera second and Veda third. The veda
