that the Atlantic Yacht Club has had ex-
ceptional luck in the matter OF weather
They say that there never have been such
perfect days for racing as the last three
when out OF a clear sky has come a
strong and steady breeze from the south
east that has sent the yachts over their
courses in remarkably fast time. The
racing men also declare that the courses
laid out by the efficient regatta commit
