cats-paw and IT ended in succession OF squalls
and storms
There was an entry list OF something like sixty
yachts and about fortythree vessels started There

s,a-ting time I. until 2SO when the prepara-
,ory signal was given The start OF the big schoon-
-srs was 1913 when the Amorita. Quissetta and
Clorita were TO windward Of the crossing line. The
Amorita broke out baby jibtopsai and worked

The same sails. They crossed as follows: Amorita

the Oiseau crossed nifty seconds later and the yawl
Albicore at 1916 Then the Kit Postum. Hera
Mono Memory and Hussar followed
The sloops started at IL as and those started at
1850 were much in a bunch that II i'm
possible 10 take their times as they crossed the
line so the committee took figures the start
The wind was barely strong enough to give them
x,eerage-way and they crossed about eight abreast

others About two hundred yards from the start
the Mono and the Spindrift foued each other but
without damage. on this course Greenwich
Point the wind veered from north Of west to south
east one boat was seer with the flag at her truck
foated out by a west wind and her mainsaN was
drawing well with a wind from the southeast. She
seemed 10 be going q peculiarly high speed. and

discover that she had a small auxiliary engine
driving her.
THE YIG1LANT CATCHES BREEZEs.
The visiiant caught brcezcs aloft that no others
.rioved and she pulled out TO the nOrthward in

Yachting experience She left the others miles be-

BEFORE this feet reached the first mark the Vigil
,aDt had gone almost TO the second and in this sec
ond leg Of the course she ran the five miles with
slightly started sheet I'm 80 minutes and seconds,
rounded the second mark off Long Neck at 2:30;12.
The first mark of Greenwich Point was rounded by
the leaders as follows: Quissetta, Syce, Amorita,
Queen Nab. Clorlta and kestrcl, and this order
was held AT the turning Of the second mark, ex-
cep, that the Amorita passed the syce. The south
wind was now coming UP freshly. and as the COM
rnittee came the smaller triangle sailed by the
smaller races it seen that number OF them

It could not be ascertained when the Amorita lost
her foretopnast. but she turned the mark at the
end Of the first round with the wreckage neatly
cleared away and only the stump Of the topmast

the Quissetias long lead (made in the cats-paws).
she was here only minute and 40 seconds behind
her rival At this turn Of the home mark the Syce
was leading the Kes,rel by 40 seconds.

From yacht-racng view the two chief points Of
interest in the racing were the close sailing OF the
Amorita and the Quissetta and the recording Of
the FIRST up-and-down beating that the celebrated
syce ms received. John 4. Mnlss Kestrel caught
up all she lost through bad luck at first, and she
beat the Syce IN. boat for boat, by five seconds In
the best finish Of this season She proved at last
that Flies production was certainly fast boat
and heretofore has only wanted handling II was
blowing hard In the last round Of their race, and
the Syce got beaten her own best point. The
Amorta finished at 5:4O:9s just seconds be-
hind the Quissetta. She sailed more than half Of
the race without her foretopsan tibtopsai balloon
81 spinnaker and her continuous gains after the
wind came up showed that she made the best sail
ing. though she did not win the prize.
