VENTURA WINS
HER THIRD RACE
In SUCCESSION
Barbara Finishes Second
and Carolina Third
Maisie a Victor.
BY CAPTAIN JAMES c. SUMMERS.

Heeling TO the stiff easterly breeze
until her lee rail was buried in green
water, George F. Baker, jr.'s, sloop
yacht Ventura swept across the finish
line off the Larchmont Breakwater
yesterday, the winner of her third sue
cesslve race in the race week series of
the Larchmont Yacht Club. She had
covered the 20$4 mile course in 3 hours
minutes 81 seconds. having had wind
ward work for the first and reaches for
the two other legs of the course, de-
feating H. p. Whitney's Barbara by
minutes 3 seconds. She was sailed by
Robert W. Emmons. Cd, of Boston. The
Carolina was third. J. p. Morgan's
Crawling did not compete. Eighty
eight yachts started in the race.
1t was day that put spars, sails
and rigging to the test, and the list of
accidents shows that some were not
equal to it. George 7. Granbery's
sloop Anita, of the handicap class,
sprung her mast soon after the start
and had TO run back to the harbop. A.
W. Lockwpod's Carolina, of the same
class, broke the jaws of her gaff and
withdrew, and the Sachem ii split her
mainsail and returned TO port. The
Petrol and the Wasp were also dis
abled. The American Yacht Club
dories and the Orienta one-design
sloops deserve special credit for sail
ing their respective courses in such
weather.
II. B. Plants Maisie, admirably
sailed by W. w. Swan, was first at the
finish line among the nine "40s" that
started. Leading the Rowdy at the
outer mark-Greenwich Point buoy
a NIL hot i oxI
a good margin, her sheets were eased
broad of to starboard for the seven
mile reach 10 Motifs Point buoy. Gyb-
ing there to port, she came romping
across the Sound on the final three
mile reach TO the finish, winning from
the Rowdy by just 50 seconds. The
Pamparo was third, only 36 seconds
astern.
II was Skipper Swans first trick at
the tiller of 40" and he, like others,
agreed after the hard race that these
yachts need a short bowsprit and more
head sail to make them steer decently
in strong breeze. Swan got the lead
in the windward work by hugging the
north shore and cheating the west
going tide.
The "thirties" sailed one of the best
races of the season. Nine of them
made spirited start on the starboard
tack. Johnston De Forests Minx-the
winner-got away in the lead and she
held it from start to finish. The Lena,
sailed by her ownr, Ogden Reid,
started last and worked her way to
second place. She was defeated ON,
36s by the Mink, but she finished SO
seconds ahead of the third boat-the
Silhouette. The "P" Class sloop
Nahma won again, defeating the Joyant
by 6m, Ss.

Deal Polo Four
Win Match from
Pine Tree Team

Narragansett Pier, r. l., July 90
Two games were played in the KAN
dolph Cups event at the Polo Associa-
ton tournament of the Point judith
Club to-day. The Deal On. j. team
in receipt of a goal, defeated the Aiken
Pine Tree four by 91s to 81, but their
brothers from Morristown, in the same
state, the Whippany Whips, were
beaten by the Meadow Brook Kugoys,
who conceded 2, by 91s TO 61s goals.
At half time Deal and Pine Tree
were tied at g., but after that the Jer-
seymen had the better OF the plays,
putting up an aggressive game, wnlle
Hopping's lame wrist weakened on him
and he fell eff in hitting strength, and
Hurlburt also became unsteady. Post,
who was getting plenty of length with
good direction, and Hopping bore the
brunt of the fray until the latter's
arm bothered him.
Cochrane made a good impression
and had splendid mounts. Mlnnlck and
Williamson. the latter newcomer
from the West, were the most dashlng
of the Deal four, with Stern and Meyer
both doing effective work.
The Meadow Brook Rugby four, de-
spite a vigorous resistance from the
Whips, did all the scoring for the first
half of the second game, when they
led by 5 10 the handicap concession OF
?. The Whips were more fortunate IN
the last four chukkers, and held the
Rugbys in the scoring line.
Hitchcock displayed fine command
of the mallet, and some of his drives
were as far as seen in the game, while
Cooley, who had some very high class
English mounts, was always ready TO
place the ball or 70 take when needed
for try at the posts.
Burden was both active and reliable,
and Heckscher, who hurried from the
train TO the saddle, played his posi-
tion capably and made some saves that
were seemingly impossible.

The hitherto irresistible force OF

UPTOWN MARCH OF TRADE

The Old and Famous Piano Manu-
featuring House of Paul G. Mehlin
& Sons Going from Union Square
to Forty-third Street, One Door
from Fifth Avenue, Where They
Have Leased Seven Story Building
for n Term of Twenty Years. at an
Aggregate Rental of s300,O0O Net
One of the most significant and interest
ing features OF the business life of this
city is what is called "the uptown march
of trade"-a phrase which explains it.
self.
There is scarcely any line of business
that does not feel the influence of this
movement Already it has transformed
entire districts OF New York. and one is
led to wonder what the developments
may be that are to come in the course
of the next fifteen or twenty years.
These remarks are suggested by the
announcement that has been made within
the last few days to the effect that the
old and justly celebrated piano man
ufacturing firm OF Paul G. Mehlin & Son
are going to move before long from the
the past quarter of a century at No. %
Union square, to No. 4 East Forty-third
street, one door from Fifth avenue.
The firm in question have been estab-
lished since 1857. and long since won
high renown by reason of the wonder
fully fine qualities of their Instruments.
There is ample authority for the asser-
ton that the Mehlin piano is the finest and
most scientifically built instrument in the
world to-day. In its construction there
are embodied features of excellence not
to be found in any other instrument. 1t is
constructed upon absolutely correct
acoustic principles, and that is the great
secret of its wonderful tone-sweet and
sympathetic in the treble, sonorous and
majestic in the bass.
Now the firm is about to go to a home
more worthy of such an instrument. They
have taken lease of the splendid seven
story structure now nearing completion
at No. East Forty third street for
term of twenty years. at an aggregate
rental of 100000. net.
This building was designed by Mr..
Andrew J. Thomas, an architect of dis
tinRuished standing in this city. who has
been.studying out the plans for long
time. He is member of the American
Institute of Architects and of various
other important organizations. Some four
or FIVE years ago the institute offered prizes
for the best designs for dwelling house
and of these Mr.. Thomas won three out
of four.
