Not WOn-Pleasant Weather Greeted
 the Members-List of Prize Winners Names of Committees.
 Pleasant weather greeted the mem bers of the Pequot association yester- day on the occasion of their annual celebration of Pequot day. The palatial club house of the association was pret- tily decorated with many American flags and with red, white and blue bunting, while the lawns about the water front, together with the clubs pier, were strung with Japanese lam terms. " A
 The programme of the day opened with a baseball concert in which bach elor Pequoters overwhelmed their mar ried brethern by 1S runs to 5.
 After luncheon interest centered mainly in the sailing regatta. The conn mittee in charge consisted of Commo- dore F. P. Terry and Mir. M. R. Dur ham. Owing to the lightness of the breeze the long course to Pond Point and return, which had been contemplat- ed for the boats in the knockabout class, was abandoned, and two trian- gular courses inside the harbor were sailed, the boats going over the course twice.
 The weather conditions were almost ideal at the commencement Of the re- gatta, with a fresh breeze blowing, a calm sea beneath them and cloudy sky to mitigate the brightness of the sunshine. The breeze died down after the first round had been sailed and the finish was made in almost dead calm.
 At trifie after 2:S0 o'clock the yachts got away, the smaller boats being sent off before the larger ones. In the first class for knockabouts there were six entries and the start was very pret- ty one. The winner in this class was the Kittiwink, owned by J. J. Phelps of New York, and sailing under the ] flag of the Sachems Head Yacht club, The second prize in this class went to the Thelga, owned by Mir Rogers of Sachem's Head. The prizes were ster- ling silver Peouot cups. Tn the eatboat class there were two divisions, one free-for-all for Pequot cup. and the other open only to Pequot members, for q cup offered by Gilbert Rogers of Meriden. Only one boat was entered in the latter division, and as that one fouled another boat and also a buoy, the contest for that cup was set aside. and the Rogers cup will have to be sailed sor next year. In i the free-for-all class there were three entries, and the victory fell to the Snooze.
 Owing to the. calm the small boats did not finish.
