a busy time. Only TWO days In these waters
will there be no lacing and in Eastern
waters the racing will begin on Tuesday
and last all the week.
On Wednesday the Atlantic Yacht Clu
will nave races for yachts OF classes Q and
8. Three races have been scheduled for
yachts of these two classes and prizes will
be awarded according to the point system.
These races will be OF more than ordinary
interest, because in class S are the Upton
cup boats and in the larger class are the
Vingt-trois, Soya. Spider, Joy and other
fast ones. The Upton cup boats have
shown themselves to be very fast and it is
expected that in moderate weather they
will save their time on the larger boats.
The % ~footers have TO allow almost ?
minutes a mile to the smaller yachts on &C.
count OF their difference in size. These
races will, as usual, be started at q O'Clock
and the courses will be signalled at 245.
The Marine and Field Club will hold its
annual regatta on Saturday on Gravesend
Bay. This regatta is for yachts OF classes
! NJ and below, and as il will be the first OF the
championship events Of the lower bay 1t
will surely attract a good list OF entries.
On the Sound the annual regatta Of the
New York Yacht Club will be sailed on
Thursday starting of Glen Cove. This
regatta will be for all classes and for the
club 80 ~footers. The start will he made at
noon. Those yachtsmen who wish TO sail
in cruising trim will have classes arranged
for them by the committee and in addition
to the regular class prizes there will be races
for the Bennett cups, one for sloops in one
class and one for schooners.
In the big chooner class the lngomar,
Queen, Elmina and Corona are expected
to start. The Queen is about ready now
for a race and she will have to be up and do
ing to beat the 1ngomar, sailed by Capt.
Charles Barr. The lngomar Is in fine
shape and hasa perfectly fitting suit OF
sails. She suffers rather under the present
rule of measurement. Prof. Hallock has
not yet figured her rating, but he thinks
that she will be very close to the limit OF
the class. II this is so she will have to allow
considerable time to the Queen. The
Elmina has had some changes made since
last season which have reduced her rating
and with these changes she will meet the
Queen on almost even terms.
In the 81 foot class the Effort. now in the
best possible condition, will meet the Nicola,
lrSllta and possibly the Weetamoe. The
Nicola is doing much better than she did
last season. but even in Napt. Howell
hands she is No match for the Effort. Add
son G.. Hanan Ia getting more ont OF the
Effort than it W. thought. possible and
abe is sailing fast, even in light weather,
which shows That the changes that have
been made have improved her very much'
The Ir0lita started last Thursday. but on
the windward work she was starved. Her
sails did not set we'll and they were trimmed
so fla, that she had no chance withthe others.
The three 81 footers showed on their first
race that they are fast and able boats
They seem to like strong breeze better
thar light airs, They arr new yet and
their owners have lots to learn about them,
! but later on when in shape they will he
hard boats To beaUi in any company,
