reach across the Sound 20 the Lloyd's
Neck buoy, thence beat 20 Long Neck
buoy and a reach from there 20 the
finish, twenty miles in all The "P"

miles, with Centre Island and the Cows
gas buoy for their turning marks. The
handicap and Indian Harbor arrow
classes sailed an eleven-mile course and
the smaller classes eight miles.
A feature of the days sport was the
contest between the p yachts Nahma
and Joyant. There was almost as much
wind as when they sailed for the Man
hasset Bay Cup last month, and their
work yesterday was watched with in
terest. The Joyant held the Nahma on
the 81 mile reach across the Sound 10
the first mark, Centre Island buoy,
rounding IL Few seconds ahead of her.
In the windward work the Nahma OBJ
tanned a good lead, which she increased
on the reach 70 the finish. The Jessica's
reef handicapped her, and although 10
was shaken out after the windward
work she was unable to overhaul any
OF her opponents in the forty-foot class.
