Light Weather
For Sender Boats.

Marblehead, Mass, Aug. 9.-The Sender
boats that are striving for positions on
the American team which is to meet the
Spanish boats had two more light wealth
err races today and again the Harpoon,
owned by c. F. Adams 3D. came through
without blotch on her escutcheon of
winning record. According to the sys-
tenn adopted by the committee for scor-
ing the boats. the Harpoon has a row OF
zeros denoting four wins against her.
The other winners I'm the two races today
were the Spokane III and the Gina, the
former owned by Hugh Bancroft OF the
Cohasset Yacht Club. and the latter by
Guy Lowell of the Easterp Yacht Club.
The Gina had bad luck in the first race
after establishing good lead and fin
ished sixth.
In the second race the Gina, however,
led from the start. The Harpoon was
always to the fore throughout the day
and has practically established herself as
the best boat under light weather condi-
tons The yachtsmen are all anxious
for strong breeZes for the next two days.
The first race today was a sx-mile
windward and leeward affair in three
knot breeze. 1t was long, slow beat to
the first mark, and the Harpoon and Spo-
kane III were well in the lead at the
turn. In the run down the windward to
the finish there were no changes. al
though the Harpoon increased her lead.
There was a hot scrap between the Lady
and Bonivee in the first division. and be-
tween five boats that followed the Spo-
kane in the second division. Only sec
onds divided these yachts.
After the usual wait the boats were
sent away on the second race, which
was over triangular course, with a rap
idly softening breeze. They managed to
pull around the first mark. which was a
beat to windward, but the other two legs
of the course were practically a drift.
In the run into the finish there were some
hot luffing matches and in the second di-
vision the Beaver beat out the Joyettc
for second place by one second.
