WIND GROWS FRESHER.

On the course from Vineyard Sound lightship
to the Brenton Reef lghtship the wind grew
fresher and was about abeam, coming about
south-southwest and all the yachts carry
ing reaching canvas. Mr Robinsons Hester
looked particularly we'll. with reaching foresail.

was good but not remarkable the Navahoe
making the seventeen and one quarter miles
from lightship lightship in about one hour and
thirty nine minutes. representing . speed Of
3bOut ten ard half knots an hour.
At 1:3O o'clock the yachts were on west ISL
and and the order as taken from distance was
The NaVahoe the Vigilant. the Eelin, the Ailsa,
the Hester. and The Corona. Here the Hester
made better time than ". X. Vanderbilts
Virginia. and she beat her elapsed time from
the by four minutes ard th;rty-n he seconds.
Another popularity was that the old schooner
America, which started a great deal Of expense
in 1851 was timed at the Vineyard Sound light
ship before the flagship Corona. But the
Corona started behind the handicap gun for her
class. The Virginia finished at 2:3o:06 beating
the Bedouir. which finished at 2:06:43 1t was
regretted that Mr. Gays Athene did not
cross the starting line. as she seemed 20 make
slightly better time 10 the region of the finish
than any other Of the IO-foot waterline class.
The Hester finished at Dds: 43. beating the Hide

allowance because built in England since 1896.
But the Eoiin finished at 2:31:29 and probably
would not have won even If the regular time al

No official information is given out as to who
wins the different prizes to-day. but il is evil
dent that the Quissetta takes the cup presented
by Vice-Commodore Belmont for the schooner
making the best time over the course. The cut
ter or yawl which wins the cup presented by
Rear-Colnmodore c. L. F Robinson is not
known with certainty, but il looks as If the 43-
footer Effort would have a good chance her
elapsed time being 0:31 :0l She takes large
time allowance from the larger boats. 1t seems
that the schooner Quissetta takes most of the
honors on the cruise, having the most OF
the squadron runs and the navy challenge cups
for her class and the Vice. Commodore's cup for
the schooner making the most wins. The Con-
stitutior wins the navy challenge cup in her
class The two racing challenge cups put
up by subscription among the officers of tho
navy and are held for year They are foi
