the Narrows, but when the Sea Gate
fixture Is a matter Of history yachts.
men begin to realize that the summe Is
drawing to a close and that soon 1t will
be time to put their yachts out OF com
mission. For the Atlantic classic fol
lows IArchmont week. the cruise OF the
New York Yacht Club. the Great South
Bay cruise and similar other annual
events Of the yachting calendar.
Tn cruise OF the New York Yacht
Club always IL an event for big yachts
Larchmont week Is more or less OF a
mixed AFFAIR. Atlantic week. however
is a fixture that principally interests the
owners Of small chaft. and they are
gathering to-day for what promises to
be- one OF the most interesting series ever
held on the lower bay.
Not that big yachts are not welcome TO
sal, In Atlantic races. Every year the
club stands ready to vend the larger
classes over courses made famous by
Americas Cup contests. But for the past
half dozen years the owners OF big
sloops II schooners have not cared to
make the troublesome trip through Hell
Gate AID the East River even To have a
week Of sport on the waters OF the broad
Atlantic.

Indications point to the new forty
fosters being the most important yachts
to race at Sea Gate this summer. Three
OF the Herreshon sloops have been en-
tered. and II is hoped that one or two
more may come dow to the lower bay
to-day. The forties that have entered
are Pampero. the property OF DIR. James
