The annual August regatta Of the

terday afternoon under favorable con
ditions. There were fewer entries than
IL some past years. but the boats were
all fast and excellent racing resulted.
The course was a beat TO windward and

the start from the southwest After
the boats were well down the bay the
wind shifted To the south and strength
ened To "A l0-knot breeze. In the first
class the Cheemaun. a Fall River boat,
built by Read. sailed her maiden race
and won handsomely. The Chappaquoit
turned the stake boat the wrong way
at the finish and was ruled out. giving
the Waif fourth place.
There were no first class cats entered.
but the smaller craft made up for il by
good racing. The Thordis. from Catau-
met. won easily In her class, and the
Adelia had the race her own way in the
NTH class. The Columbia had a good
leader over the Taboo i'm the free for-all
class. but her tiller broke and the delay
lost her the race.

properly characterized as professional
fiatterers.
What value is there IN trelr common
dalton when honorable mention is deserv-

have fulsome flavor. Ibis is a type of
