largest Of the season. Eighty yachts crossed
the starting line. and II the weather had been
favorable the racing would have been fine.

please no one. The winner Of each contest
was not satisfied because the race was fukey.
the loser was Disguised because II there had
been wind his yacht would have done better.
Those who were Yachting the races we're
disappointed because they could see that on
Long Island a nice southerly breeze was
blowing all day. but 1t did not get out on the
Sound until many Of the yachts had finished.
IL was so light at ii 80 o'clock. when the
races should have been started. that the com

southwest, so the courses chosen took them
to the east first, then to Hampstead Harbor

before the first mark had been reached the
Queen was in the lead.
After turning this mark II was windward

toward the Long Island shore. while the
Queen took the port tack as soon as she
