J. c. Lippenco;t and a. r. Weston. the greatest
praise is due for bringing such n large anair TO n
successful end
on surveying the racing results when large
number of contests claim special mention. II seems
partly ungrateful task to make distinctions. but
1t must be said that interest chiefly centred In
efforts OF those 2O-footers from which repre-
sentative craft must soon he selected TO sail for the
Seawanhaka -Corinthian Cup in the International
race. Two boats contested In this class. Only one
OF hem the Alanka. had been seen before. and only
once In these waters. The other. the Mono was
entirely newcomer. and she proved 10 be the sur
prise party of the day. The Aanka is built on the
design OF c. II. Crane. and the Mono Is the design
OF his brother. II. NJ Crane These two designed.
owned and sailed the 15-footer tho FL Heire. whch
chosen to meet the Canadian challenger last
year. and for this year II seems pretty certain so
far trials have suggested. that one or the other
of the Crane family will enjoy the honor OF repre-
senting this country in Canada. The boats OF both
these brothers to he long way better than
anything that has YET been produced. and there Is
general feeling Of satisfaction thar at last couple
OF craft have heen produced either OF which will
tax the ingenuity Of the amateur Canadian designer,
Mr. Duggan. 10 tie utmost
The preparatory gun was touched of at l2;S2
p. m and at that time the waters off Echo Bay
in the Sound were literally covered with the
lowering starters and cruising yachts. The send
off Of the first division apsed for want Of entries In
the schooner class. when the second division
her competitor the Banshee had arrived.
In the third division. which left smartly on gun
fire. the sloops Of the thrty-sx and thirty foot
classes went off with the special thrties. These
crossed In tho following order: The Hera. the Sur
prise. the Wawa. the Acushla, the Musm,. the
Pontiac. the Carolina, the Waneta the Twi-
light and the Veda. Here the Neda, OF Corne-
us Vanderbilt jr arrived late and made bad
start though she pulled up during the race. Ralph
n. Ellis made another Of his irst-class starts one
OF his crew was G. oliver Iselin. But even MT
Iselin can give Mr. Ellis points on quick start
ing The fact is that Mr. Ellis practically won the
race on the start because the rest OF was merely
n processi Of boats all sailing at about the same
speed The Musme lost time by crossing before the
gun making necessary to turn back to cross after
the signal.
In the fourth division. started at 1852 the yachts
