LIN Big Regatta
Accident to Murad Ends
Duel With Meteor in
the Canoe Club Handicap

After being inactive for the past
fortnight, owing to Larchmont Week,
the Corinthians Of the lower bay gath
cred off the Atlantic Yacht Club yes
terday afternoon and sailed in the an
nual regatta of the New York Canoe
Club. There is saying among Graves
end Bay sailors that the canoe men al
ways haV good breeze for their an
nual cups. Yesterday was no excep-
ton. The wind was from the north
west by north and was decidedly the
best breeze of the season. 1t had Just
enough strength to send the little
yachts flying around the courses in
true racing form and not enough body
to cause even the smaller classes to
tie in reefs.
AS the wind came the committee.
made up Of S. r. Church, cha rman. as
sisted by Samuel L. Finlay and John
IL. Brophy, Atlantic Yacht Club, to-
gether with Richard Rummell, the Off
clal Handicapped, was able to pick a
course that gave all the craft a splen-
did windward leg. The course took the
craft on a reach on the starboard tack
from the starting lne off Sea Gate
TO mark off Norton's Point. Here the
yachts went on the wind for their long
peat to Fort Hamilton. A run fol-
lowed to mark off Bensonhurst. Hern
the yachts hauled in their sheets and
had another close reach to the finish
line.
With the exception of the third di
vision of the handicap class and the
Star boats, the yachts all went twice
around the course. The Stars would
have made the full course had it not
been for an accident to the rigging of
DR.. c. L. Atkinson's Murad just prior
to the start Of the class the peak hal
YARD went, and down came the main
sail. R. II. Finlay's Meteor, the only
other yacht in the division, refused to
start without her class competitor.
When repairs were made it was so late
that the committee decided to send the
yachts only once around the course. At
the finish the Meteor was 3 minutes
and % seconds ahead of the Murad.
The Ethel had sailover in the first
division Of the handicap class. In the
second division I. L. Beebe, jr.'s. Fan
tasia was the winner on both actual
and q, corrected time. She won from the
Sylla by l minute and /. seconds, both
actual and corrected time. The victory
was won during the second round. At
the end of the first round the Sylla was
timed at 4:16:O8, the Fantasia at
4:17:00 and the Careless at 4:17:27.
They were the three scratch boats of
the class.
Although the Alcyon led home
the yachts of the third division, on cor
rected time the first prize was won by
j. Christiansen's Bob Cat. F.. T Sup.
per's Mouse was the first of the knock
abouts home.
