LARCKMONT CLUB
HAS THRILLING
RACES ON SOUND
Iroquois II, Steered by
Owner, Finishes First
of the "FiftieS."
YACHTS
IN ALL TAKE PART
Eight "Thirties" Furnish Excit-
ing Clash, with the Silhouette
Reaping Chief Laurels.

The start Of six OF the "hfties" In
the spring race OF the Larchmont Tseht
Club yesterday. in s fresh breeze from
tie south ard that heeled them 10
their scuppers ct times. was the oest
Of tho season from the spectators
standpoint. and the most exciting one
for the shippers.
II was so close as 70 three OF the
yachts that J. VI. Macdonough, OF the
Spartan, protested the Ventura and
the Irouuois II, owned By George +.
Baker, jr., commodore of the New York
Yacht Club, and Ralph y. Ellis, respec-
.ivcly, his claim being. il is said, that
the mannuvring az the start was too
near the danger point of collision.
The fact is that the Ventura, coming
for the starting line under splendid
Roadway, with sheets eased we'll OF 70
port, crossed it first, with the Spartan
close under her lee quarter and the
Iroquos hardly length in her wake
and lufing across it. W. +. Dodge's
Samuri. J. p Morgan's Grayling and
Harry Payne Whitney's Barbara crossed
in that order, abou. the middle Of the
line, with their wind clear.
All broke out small ballooners as
they crossed, for the first leg Of ths'r
twenty-mile course 20 Greenwich POM
buoy, was a reach. The second leg
was beat 70 Oak Neck buoy, and the
third a seven-mile reach to the finish
off the Larchmont Breakwater. The
Iroquois II, steered by her owner, r.
Y. Ellis. won the race b. min. % sec.
from the Samuri. The Barbara was
third, and the Ventura did not finish.
Sixty-three yachts started in the
race, and some of the white squalls
| that hit the smaller boats caused SOM
accidents. The sloop Red Wing, Of the
Handicap Class, owned by Grace and
Loewy, carried away her mast in the
windward work of Hampstead Bay.
| None of her crew was injured, and she
was towed home. Clifford d. Mallory's
/ Margaret parted her peak halyards. and
retired before the start, leaving her
| classmatc, the Joyetta. 70 sail over the
course alone. Six of the others were
unable to finish for various reasons,
principally too much wind.
! Eight Of the "thirties" sailed fast
! and exciting race after one Of the best
starts of the season. E. II. Prentice's
! Silhouette got away in the lead, but
| the second boat-0. VI. Reds Lena
/ had the weather berth close up TO the
| southwest stake boat. The Hope, the
Okee IL, the Alerion II. the Juanita. the
Alera and the Banzai followed in that
order, but well punched, all crossing
within eighty seconds. The results show
that the racing was q Sc in this class,
for the Silhouette won by only twenty
FIVE seconds from the Alerion ii, owned
by ]. W. and E. P. Alker. The Bsnzai
was third.
1t was the first time that schooners
have raced on the Sound this season,
and those two clipper craft, Hendon
Chubb's Queen NAB and George W.
SCOTS Miladi, made a fine start, lead
ing the big feet at 2 o'clock. with the
Chubb yacht in the van by couple OF
lengths. The Queen Nab won by six
minutes, corrected time. Ten of the
little Star sloops covered the short
course without parting rope yarn.
The Affair won by II seconds from the
| Twinkle.
The winners in the other classes
were the Amoret, the Carolina, the
Mediator, the Skid, the Mile. Boss, the
Drena, the Teal, the Tautog, the Nereid
and the Pavlowa. The regatta commit
tee comprised Howell c. Perrin, Harold
| c. Pryor and Sanford G.. Etheringtor.
