given yesterday by the Iarchmont Yacht Club. and
there were more than hundred entries. num-
her OF boats made their first race The
Astrild, the Scotch cutter lately imported by the
Brothers Hanan entered her first race on this side
of the ocean, and made match race with the
new 7O-footer Mlneola owned by August Belmont,
which was the only representative of the new one
design Newport class present. The Hebe, just
finished by the Lawleys of Boston for ]. r. Max
well, on Crowninshield's design. took her first run,
and showed great speed ending the first round IN
the lead though something happened in the second
round to prevent her finishing. The Altar took
her first race with the syce. and did not win 1t.
She is one OF many that have found the Syce
difficult but she sailed good race, and was near
enough to the old time victor to make her look out
for the next encounter.
One Of the tightest Of the season was IN the
nev raceabout class, where all sailed close 10
each other throughout the race. many finishes be-
ing in the two minutes The Countess

Alley of Larchmont CLUB has Just arrived IrOih
the HerreshoT shops and is bright colored large
huled craft that has great speed. Her cnle1
competitor the Anoatok, was not present, owing 10
the recent death OF Mrs Brokaw, who was the
owners grandmother: and the cutter Queen Nab
and the schooner Amorita owned by Of the

courses. The Countess did not win In her
class owing to the 30-footer Veda going up into

first round but did not in first, the Maxwell
OIseau proving invincible in this race. Edward

tons took another easy win out of fleet OF seven
starters.
Among the schooners the Sachem and the Fleur
de Lys had an old time and went twice over
their course but had the good judgment to choose
their own time for finishing the second round
and thus escaped the weary and wholly unneces-
sary drifting experienced in the third round. where
the boats left almost helpless in cans the
