owned by J. r. Maxwell. Jr., and sailed by ].
Frederick Tams. The Stella. sailed by Sher-
man Hoyt. which carried of the honors in the
previous races Of the series. finished In second
place.
The race was sailed in o reeflnE breeze. and
during the second round Of the course some of
the boats tied in another reef owing to q threat
ening squall that darkened the sky to the west
ward. but fortunately passed of to the north
east without anything more than an increase
Of wind. The only accident of the day happened
to one Of the Philadelphia boats. the Fly. which
lost her rudder near the outer mark Just after
she hauled on the wind for the finish OF the
race. She was steered across the line with an
oar. and afterward towed into SeaWanhaka
harbor by the committees steamer.
An Incident that might have resulted serious
ly but for the presence of mind OF the helms
man OF the Spider occurred at the stakeboat at
the end of the first round. The Kewaydin.
steered by R. W. Gibson. had already turned
the mark and eased sheets for the run down
the wind. The Spider. which was beating up
to the mark. had the right OF way. but was COM
PEELED to bear way In order to avoid being run
down by Gibson. The committee promptly dis
qualified the Kewaydin.
The course was leeward and windward. three
miles to a lea. a total distance Of twelve Eantl-
cal miles. The start and finish line was OF the
entrance to the harbor and the compass course

steered a better course than the squadron that
followed the lead Of the, Stella. This put the
minute difference between them all when they
hauled on the wind around the markboat.
