voted to repairs and changes in the

Eleven years ago the three Z cup
yachts, Reliance. Constitution and
Columbia were given numerous trial;
races in this part Of the Sound, but
the starts were off Long Island shore
near th'. Matinicoclt Point, and 1t was
found difficult to send tho boats to
the windward on the first leg. z =
BY agreement between the managers
ard the regatta committee of the New
York Yacht club fifteen minutes will
he allowed between the starting sig
nails for the fight for position. Two
minutes will. be given for the yachts
to start and in that brief period each
boat viii be timed to the second, as
she crosses the line. If she is late.
her time will be taken at starting at
the end OF two minutes. although STE
may be three, five or even ten minutes
behind.
The struggle for the hest places
