Charlie Barr, of Columbia Fame, Now Sailing the DIineoIa, Defeated in n Luffing Match With the Rainbow The Elmina Also Manages to Pass Her Rival in Luffing Fight,

Newport, R. l., July u.-Although the last expiring gasp of q northerly breeze was barely sufficient to start the nineteen yachts of the New York Yacht club in the second of the clubs regat- tas off this port, a fine southwestern, which sprung up during the afternoon, saved the day and turned what looked another dull affair into a very success full sporting event.
 An hour after the yachts went away on triangular course the wind fell flat or came in fitful puffs from all points. After an hours wait, it sprung up again, this time from the southwest quarter, and held steadily to the close of the day. giving all the boats a nice bit of Windward work on the second l leg and run home under the spin makers
 The two yawls, Ailsa and Vigilant, did not start but the seventy foot sloop class was represented by the Rainbow and the Mineola and they had a fine race, the former winning by a close margin of one minute and ten seconds, principally however, through favorable puffs during the fluky weather of the l first leg for the Belmont boat gained steadily on the last two legs. In the | sixty foot class the Mineola was also i fortunate in getting a slant which sent | her ahead of the Weetatmoe, lead which she kept to the finish. The | SnhOn0nrc ENlroif1a oT16 MUrinl other pretty contest with a luffing match at the start, sharp struggle for the windWard position in a beat to the second mark and a fine run home, the Elmna leading most of the start and to-day the Mashnee won in the Buz- zards Bay class and the Esperanza in the Newport special.
 The slOops Mineola and Yankee and the schooners Muriel and Elmina start ed off with couple of luffing matches which carried them well inshore so that they held the failing breeze some time after it left the other boats. In this !, lufilng match the Rainbow passed the Mineola, although the latter was sailed by Charlie Barr, of Columbia fame, anG the Elmina got by the Muriel The new southwestern tried to help out tho stern boats when it sprung up about were soon favored.
 Barr's clever handling cut down the Rainbow's lead on the second leg bl three minutes and tWenty-One sec onds
 On the run to the finish before the wind Mineola picked up over two min utes more but could not quite catch tn, Vanderbilt boat. The Elmina gained somewhat on the Muriel while the Wee tamoe cut Neola's lead down to thre, minutes.
