A sudden shift in the wind while
the vanitie was leading the Resolute

a lead that the Vanitie. although she
made gains on the wind. was unable
to catch her and the Rcsolute won by

II was the Glen Cove regatta " the
New York Yacht Club and sailed in
impartial Sound weather, light paltry
winds at the start which shifted and
later freshened to a moderate sailing
breeze. There were races for the cup
yachts I'M so and 80 footers.
The fleet gathered at Glen Cove early
in the morning. and there we're so
many and big schooners that
1t seemed almost like the start OF the
cruise. Among the best known yachts
noticed were Commodore q. +. Bake
Jr.'s Viking. ex-Commodore Frederick
q. Boufne's Alberta, 7. w. Slocum's
Ranger. Robert Z. Tod's schooner ks-
toura. Allison v. Armour's Ctowana.

Perkins, Mohican. Alex =. Cochran's
Minerva. Henry Walters's Narada.
George W. SCOTS Miladi and y. G..

The race committee made the signals
from the Viking and selected a course
with turning marks on Parsonage
Point and Long Neck Point for the cup
yachts. The starting line was between
Motifs and Prospect points and the
length est. miles. The preparatory
signal was made at / o'clock and ten
minutes later the starting sigma!
sounded. At that time after some well
calculated manpuvrirg. the Vanitie.

a later start away from the Nanitie.
The vanihe, as soon as tie Resoiute
wore. broke out a balloon jib topsail
and stood for the line. which she
crossed at the last second allowed
without a handicap. The Resolute. fol-
lowing, was handicapped ! minute 10

They had booms to port and reached
across the Sound. and Nonitie steadily

the vanitie had gained forty-three
seconds In tho broad reach OF 3's miles.
They jibed al this mark. lifted their
balloons over the head stays and
slowly headed on toward the next mark
81, miles away. The Vanitie held her
course. but the Resolute worked out to
the southwark with the idea OF getting
to windward OF the Vanitie and being
able to take advantage OF II f~reshening
wind. There was no change In the
relative positions Of the two yachts
until 2:.5 o'clock. when the wind
more westerly. The Vanitie at
once jibed her boom over the star
board and set a ~spinnaker. The
Resolute jibed. trimmed In her sheet
and hauling the wind reached In toward
the land. with the wine over her
she moved much faster than the
Vanitie, which was dead before II. and
in a few minutes she had wrested the
lead from the Vanitie.
Instead Of then bearing away and
down the wind Resolute held
on well in toward Indian Harbor. her
skipper having decided to do what is
called lacking to leeward. The theory
is that in winds up to a certain strength
a yacht can travel no fast with the
