over the courses.

San Francisco yacht club, with its 20
minute handicap, carried off the hon
ors in class B and George Lowells S
speedy little Amigo kept up its win
ming streak ad captured class A. The
yachts left Vallejo shortly before noon
in very light breeze and Philips Mon
soon soon took the lead. Keeping up
its enviable record as lightweather
boat it made the fastest actual time
over the course. Vice Commodore Law
renee T. Wagner, who handled the race
from his launch Roamer, had long
wait at the finish line. Some of the
smaller boats in the class A division
were so far behind that their time was
not taken.
