The wind was not as good as it might
have been and the yachtsmen We're in in
doubt to whether they could get back
within the time limit of six hours set by
the Judges before the race. However,
they We're resolved to try it and set out
on the race, the Bonnie Dundee passing
over the line first and the other yachts
after. 4..e Bonnie went up to position
near the marine railway and the crew
climbed up the mast to remedy little
difficulty. She swung around beautifully
and went out of the channel on business
bent. The Bonnie Dundee was sailed by
President Dole, the Hawaii by w. l.. Will
auley. Each yacht had four or five in the
Icrew The Hawaii returned shortly after
luncheon, finding that it was impossible
with the wind stirring, to go over the
course within the time limit. The pilot
boat also gave up the race and returned
Icourse like the Hawaii. President Dole
had confidence in the Bonnie Dundee and
lin time to allow him the prize. 1t was
very close call but the Bonnie was equal
Ito the task.

1t was a great shame that the wind
been great deal better and the other
TWO boats could have gotten in within the
lme limit, so that the second prize could
have been awarded.

got started and the prospect was rem
over the starting line first, the Abbie NJ
second and the rest a t different intervals.
The Clytie, sailed by T. w. Hebron, went
over the whole course, but did not finish
within the time limit. Several of the
yachts put in home without going over
the course, seeing the uselessness of such
action; The Judges declared it mo race"
and the question of whether or no the
Clytie would receive the first prize or not
was left with the Regatta Committee 1t
would hardly be fair to the remainder of
the boats if the prize were awarded the
Clytie, as they were given to understand
that, in the event of not finishing inside
called a go. 1t was with this in mind
that the yachtsmen referred to above re-
turned without going over the course.
