Yacht Racing
Season Closes
on L0Wer Bay
Alice Finally Wins Over the
Banzai by Margin OF
Three Minutes.

Lower Bay yacht racing came 20 an
end with the annual fall regatta Of
the Atlantic Yacht Club yesterday The
day was ideal for race and the yachts
covered their respective courses IN rec
ord time. The wind at the start was
from the north, but as the afternoon
advanced it backed into the northeast
and changed the conditions for the
various legs. The feature of the rae
ing was the win registered By w. L.
Inslee. in the Star class. He sailed
Shadow across the finish line first for
the eleventh time, giving him a straight
string Of wins for the season in the
Gravesend Bay championship series. 1t
is the first time in the history OF the
association that a champ .Onshlp has
been won with q score of 100 per cent.
The race committee, made up Of
Chairman John r. Brophy and Samuel
r. Finlay, was able TO pick excellent
courses for the various divisions. The
larger classes were given a broad reach
on the starboard tack. which was
turned into "a run after the yachts had
passed Norton's Point. from the start
inc line of Sea Gate 10 Ambrose
Channel Buoy No. is, then n beat up
the channel 20 Fort Hamilton, followed
by another reach 10 BensOnhurst and
a gybe and another reach home. 10
was while the yachts were sailing
from Fort Hamilton 20 BensOnhurst
that the wind backed into the north
east, turning the last leg into run.
Alice and BanZai, the thrty-tooters
Of the New York Yacht Club, were
the largest yachts TO start. The lat
ter craft made d poor start and Alice
at once opened up a lead Of several
seconds. She was able 20 increase her
advantage as they moved around the
course. and at the end of the first
round Alice was leading by 1 minute
ard SO seconds. On the second round
the weather leg was shot TO pieces By
the new slant Of wind. Alice contln-
ued TO foot faster than Banzal, and
finally won BE- an even three minutes.
