There was . nice sailing breeze yesterday
afternoon from the south BY east for little
more than three hours. and " lasted Just
long enough 70 enable the yachts to complete
the courses In the regatta OF the New York
Yacht Club. Twenty-Five yachts started and
sailed In FIVE classes for the Glen Cove cups.
and the courses were laid from OF the Glen
Cove station OF the club on the Sound. II was
another very successful regatta and proved
that the members OF the club showed good
judgment when they changed tho racing
arena from the lower bay to tho Sound.
The regatta committee, oliver Z. Crom-
we'll, H. de B. Parsons and Franklin A. Plum
mer, were on board the tug Unique. while .
big fleet Of steam yachts followed tho racers
around the courses.
All tho morning the outlook for yacht
race was exceedingly poor At sunrlse
thiok fog hung It's gloomy pail over the Sound.
but az the sun grew stronger this gloom was
burned away and then the water glistensd lk o
q sea OF glass and there was not q breath Of
air to disturb the surface OF the Sound. 1t
was hot insuf1erably hot. and the air was
sitting. The yachts had been towed to tho
starting limo and there they just drlfted
around and tho yaohtsmen waited and waited
without there being offered anything TO give
them a ray or hope that they would have
race.
1t had been like that for several mornings.
and II was expected by those who had made
q study Of the weather conditions that about
noon there would be breeze. and those who
prophesied that way showed that they knew
what they were talking about. for soon after
noon q light air from the south by east stole
out Of Hampstead harbor and gently famed
the burned faces Of those who we're on tho
water. They were grateful for this change.
but wanted more and more came. very
gradually the wind Increased In foroe. and
by half past IL there was moe sailing breeze
and the regatta committee at once got every
one busy.
The courses were signaled. The sohooners
and 7o-footers were to sail around a triangle
lok miles long. The first leg was az miles
northeast ,. east to a mark of Woolsey's
Reef south OF Greenwich Point. The second
leg was eH miles southwest by west !. vest
