Patchogue, n. Y, Aug 13.-Yachts-
men who are taking part in the annual

Association held an interesting race
over the triangular course off Bellport
Bay to-day. The wind was from the
southwest and fresh, kicking up tiny
whitecaps all over the bay. 1t grew
stronger as the afternoon advanced,
and at the finish it was a bit too strong
for many of the little fellows.

Sayville last night The yachtsmen were
up bright and early this morning for
a cruising race from Sayville to Bell
port Bay. The fleet was decidedly
smaller than on the first run Of the

poorly conditioned fighter stepped into
the ring against the antipodean.
