and De Witt Cochrane's Alvina the latter being
chartered by the regatta committee. Many parties
came from New-London 10 see the finish, but the
yachts had a head wind all the way from Glen
Co!e.
Clear skies and smooth water made It IDEAL
day for racing on the Sound. The fve that finished
first did so because their shippers used good judg-
rnent in huggtng the Long Island shore and cheat
ing the tide in the first two hours Of the race.
The work of the Nicola was remarkable Although
in the 6o-foot class she not only defeated her regu-
lar cIassmate. the weetamoe, but outsailed all
three of the 7O-footers until near the finish The
Rainbow finished only l minute seconds ahead o.
her and in fine burst Of speed she led the
Yankee across The line by 26 seconds The schooner
LOYAL owned by Robert ?. Doremus, also made
fine showing She was the first schooner to finish,
4 minutes IS seconds ahead OF Wilson Marshalls
big three-masted schooner Atlantic. The latter,
carrying all her lower sails and three gahJopsaliS
made a spectacular finish, heeling over IN ths
fresh easterly breeze until her red olge showed
far out Of water.
