FEWER ENTRIES AND GREATER PLEAS
URE ON SECOND DAY OF LARCH-
MONT REGATTA

In the second days racing of the Larchmont re-
getta the entry list was not large on Satur-
day but the general enjoyment was greater. HOW
ard w Coates OF the Regatta Committee hdu
charge of the races, with Frank Hardy. and the
breezes assisted the perfect arrangements. The
preparatory signal given at noon. and at IzVo
n m the signal was given for Class # or schoot!-
ers of which there were none ready to start ex-
cept the Uncas c. T. Pierce. of the Atlantic facht
Club was at the club to sail the schooner Glen
doveer but the yacht could not reach the starting
line in time. and the Uncas C. F. buchanan re-
ceived special start for a sailover
At 1910 D. m the 5l-foot class got its start. and
the Syce crossed first on the south-southwest
breeze with the Affair tapping her weather quar-
ter on the line. These two were carrying balloon
iIbs and balloon foresails for the first leg. four
miles due east Hussar II crossed forty-hve sec
onds after the Affair. carrying her balloon fore
staysail.
Then came the raceabouts and knockabouts,
which got their start at 1918 p. m In this order:
The Spindrift the Pomparo. the Colleen. the Snap
per the Scamp, the PersimmOn, the Sis, the Raid
err the Bobs and the Mistral. The Scamp, j. de
Forest foued the Colleen, sailed by Hazen Morse
the starting line, and withdrew within the Hrst
two hundred yards
The Syce and the Affair got into luftfng match
at the word go and they took to wind jamming
until they got near to the Long Island shore
This took them long way out Of their course and
the Hussar II took advantage of their private
squabBle to head away her due course as fast
as she knew how The Affair and Syce finally
hoisted spinnakers to port. and ran for the mark
Within ten minutes they had TO shift over and set
spinnakers to starboard. The Syce lost the timing
at the mark; the Affair cutting in on the official
chronometer. the Hussar III having already round
ed with g. good lead.
The times this easterly mark, which was four
miles from the start. were: Hussar ii, 1:45;So;
Affair 1885, Syce 1865.
Then came the beat to the mark In Hampstead Har-

here Their was series of short taci-s il which the
Affair gradually opened out her lead on the Syce
The Hussar worked the shore more than the other
boats in her beating and did we'll as she rounded
the windward mark ahead of the Syce though
after the Affair The times here were: Affair,
2:1OO5; Hussar II. 2I0:43; Syce 2:l2:21. The next
leg was a broad reach for tie home mark, in which
the Affair and Syce carried second sized Jib top
sails and the Hussar her balloon forestaysal. The
Syce did not collar the Hussar till near the Larch-
mont mark when she passed ahead, and the Hus-
sar being entitled TO room at the mark, took
enough of It to turn schooner. The official tim

After the ffty-ODes started on the second IOuiIu
the Syce was sailing through the lee OF the HuS-
sar and rounded the easterly mark ahead the Al
tar being still we'll in the lead. In the beat up
the Long Island shore the syce lost ground on
which had been considerably in the rear. In this
way the Affair opened out long lead, as shown IN
the list of finishes The Syce came In with a
protest flag in her shrouds. 1t said on board
that when the Syce and the Affair were rounding
the easterly mark the first round the boom OF
the latter boat struck the Syce's bowsprit. The
committee has made decision to this. on
the way home Mr., Redmond. the owner OF the
, Syce said he would put in the written protest,
so the Affairs win will pass unchallenged.
The yachts finished as follows: Cncas' 3:2S 5S;
Affair 4:4124, Syce. 4:55:22 Hussar II, 5O33O;
