VANESSA WON.
Capturei~ Prize For First Class
Sl0ops at Fall River.
The Ids, Also OF This City, Was the Win
ner In the Second Class.

The eighth annual open regatta of the
Fall River Yacht Club was held yester-
day afternoon. with weather conditions
that were all that could be desired.
The entries while not as many as last
year, were amply sufficient to furnish
some excellent sport, and the west
southwest breeze which swept along at
a 12-knot clip made an ideal day for
racing.
Ten boats were entered in the four
classes, and four of the contestants
were out of town craft. The course for
the first and second divisions was
triangular one of 12 miles, and for the
last two classes a similar one of SIX
miles. The Vanessa of Providence,
owned by b. Merriman, and the Nell
lie, the latter owned here, were the
yachts In the first class. They kept
within hailing distance of each other
around the course and the Nellie fin
ished first, but lost on time allowance.
In the second class the Ida A, OF
Providence owned j. II. Foster, cap
tured the first prize. after very ex-
citing race with the Colleen and Berne.
The Fedora of Fall River won In the
third division by a good margin, and
the Lotus lost second money by mis-
Judging the finish line and stopping
temporarily. The last class was that
of half rates. Only the Columbia OF
Fall River and the Spook OF Bristol
were entered. the Columbia winning
easily, as the Spook did not finish.
