schooner yacht Elena sailed by Captain
William Dennis. crossed the line between
the flatgship Diana and the Brenton Reef
ILghtship. Yesterday, the winner Of the
fifth and last squadron run of the cruise
Of the New York Yacht Club. She capt
ured by large margin the vice-commo-
tore's cup for her division Of schooners.
The yachts sailed from Vineyard Haven
IN a light wind west by south and had
twenty miles Of windward work through
the Sound to the Vineyard Sound Light
ship and then seventeen miles of close
reach. For q part Of the journey the
Elena and the Irolita had il nip and
tuck but the Elena finally shook of her
rival and then overhauled the Winsomo,

prize for the second division.
Trowbridge Halls Winsome gained
big lead al the start by standing across
the Vineyard Sound 10 the Naushon
ehore and was first TO gain advantage OF
the tide running to the west This was a
great benefit and she left the Aurora and
the Istalena In her class. The race for
the second division of sloops was won by
the Dorello II, owned by G. l. Batchelder,
Of Boston. On the wind Medora had the
lead until off Quick's Hole, and then
slight shift 10 the south gave the Dorello
II an ADVANTAGE, placing her in the lead,
and the Medora could not overtake her,
although she made an agreeable gain.
While the run down from VINEYARD
Haven 10 Newport is only thirty-seven
miles, the yachts easily covered fifty
miles, considering the many tacks they
made through Choppy sea. Some OF

As on the previous runs. the little fol

first, at 1915 o'clock all on the port tack
and with just enough wind TO keep their
rails slicing the surface Of the water.

then came the yawls Phantom, Hermes,

er. The Istalena was the first to seek a
Nndward position, while the rest were
on the port tack, as they had gone over
the line. The Phantom followed the lsta-
ienss example, as did most of the sloops
in a short time

over by making another short hitch, which
nut her a bit more to the Windward.
The Taormina went bowling after the
NIiladi across the line, with the MurieL

following in order.
The big boats Of the feet, the Class

their signal was given 70 go. The Elena
got over first, with very little on the
IrolIta. which was just TO leeward OF her.

The Istalena was keeping the middle OF
the road in the best position for the inal

Dorello II was close astern. The first
vital mark of the course, Vineyard Sound

The next seventeen miles was close

the order. The Winsome maintained her
position as leader in her class, while the
Elena drew further away from the Irolita
and the Shimna kept her position. The
Dorello II held her lead to the finish. She
had outsailed the Medora In the last part
Of the windward leg by getting a better
wind and favoring slant.
