The circus cotillion was not the
whole show at the Atlantic Yacht Club
Yesterday afternoon, as the largest
feet of the year started IN the mid.
summer regatta of the Sea Gate or.
ganization. II was the first race that
has been held on the lower bay in a
fortnight. and that was responsible for
the excellent entry.
For the first time the new courses
am he new starting times were used
This however, caused no trouble, as
each Corinthian had been notified OF
the change earlier in the week. The
rcCntta committee, made up Of Carlo.
dc Zafra. chairman; S. l.. Finlay and
F p. Currier. used their new station.
This has been built at the end Of the
eytension Of the Sea Gate dock, and
riveg the committee an excellent view
of practically all of the lower bay
courses.
The wind was south and not partic-
uiarlv strong when the Q class was
cent off on IT'S voyage. The course
chosen gave the yachts run with
spinnakers TO starboard from the start
ing line to the Bcnsonhurst mark. Here
the boats gybed for q close reach to
Fort Hamilton. 1t was then on the
wind against strong head tide TO
Ambrose Channel Buoy No. Is and an
other run home Although Alice was
leading at the end of the first round
Virginia passed her on the second
thrash to windward, and finally won
by Il seconds.
Jov had no great difficulty IN win
ming on both actual and corrected time
the first prize in the handicap class
and " and + II led home the three
6 boats. Among the knockabouts of the
lower bay which now cannot carry
spinnakers and are limited to crew
Of two men the winner was the Mouse.
The Shadow was the first OF the star
boats TO finish.
The Circus Cotillon that made sucn
n hit on Friday evening was repeated
both Yesterday afternoon. and again
last night. The small theatre of the
club was crowded 30 overlooking on
both occasions. The cotillon, which
was arranged by William Pitt Rivers,
is the big dancing novelty of the year
The impersonation of horses and po.
MES by fair dancers was acknowledged
10 be the prettiest spectacle seen az
Sea Gate in years.
The circus end of the entertainment
wes no. forgotten. There was a MID
way in charge Of society women, who
managed 10 collect every penny found
in the pockets of the yachtsmen.
Everything that could produce fun was
there. and after the performance at
night there was ball, the dancers sp,,
nearing in the costumes that they used
in the cotillon.
