All sorts Of weather prevailed during the al.
nuhl regatta OF tho Harlem Yacht Club. which
was sailed on Long Island Sound yesterday
afternoon. But ono serious accident married the
sport, that being the collision between the sloop
Millionaire and the coasting schooner L. l..
Hamlin of Providence, X. /. The yacht, which at
the time had the right OF way. strictly speaking,
tried to cross the bows OF the coaster, and when
her skipper discovered that the was
impossible, he went about. Just as she filed
away the hig schooner struck the yacht with tho
bluff part OF her port bow, and, t%anRling her cat
head and bowsprit spreader In tho port shrouds
of tho yacht, she carried her stern first for some
distance before the gear gave way. Then the
sloop, her topmast going by the board, dropped
astorn.
Three mon woro knocked overheard from the
yacht. One was picked up by the steamboat
Eagle of Norwalk. Conn.,, and the limos were
thrown from tho schooner's deck to the other
two, who were struggling in the water. Beyond
the Involuntary bath the men were not injured.
The yacht, however. was towed to Harlem by
the Eaglo minus her topmast and her port
shrouds.
