1t was Gravesend Bay Yacht Clubs
turn to manage the yacht race on the
lower bay yesterday. It was the sixth
championship regatta Of the season, and
although there have been better breezes
this summer the south wind that blew
had enough body to give the Corinthians
satisfactory and fairly Interesting
brush. AS usual the start and the finish
was Off the Atlantic Yacht Club at Sea
Gate. The course chosen by Chairman
J. X Birch for all classes was made
up of a reach, q run and stin beat
home.
Interest centred principally In the
second division of the handicap class
These yachts have been having inter-
esting struggles all summer. Yesterday
they were sent twice sround the course
At the end Of the first round Fantasia,
an Islip one design yacht, now the prop
erty OF 1. l.. Beebe, Jr. Atlantic Yacht
Club, was leading the fleet. She was
clicked at 4 :16:1 Then came II. Pins
Careless at 4:17:22, followed by the old
Manhasset Bay one design yacht Scylla,
owned and sailed by Phil Crovat. At
lantic Yacht Club, at 4:1S:o7. and the
old Upton Cup racer, Loafer, at 4:22 ;01.
During the second round Fantasie
continued 10 run away from the other
yachts. She covered the rs mile course
in 40 :22 actual time. On the second
thrash to windward. which was from
the Fort Hamilton to the Bensonhurst
mark, Scylla almost overhauled Care
less. The latter. however. finished sec
ond on actual and as she had per
cent. handicap on both Fantasia and
Scylla. the craft easily held second DO
sition on the corrected time sheet.
Alcyon Homo First.
That Handicapped Rummell had done
his work we'll Is shown by the close
finish in the corrected time OF the third
division of the handicap class. On
actual time Alcyon led home the feet
finishing IL minutes 45 seconds ahead
of Bug H., the second yacht to cross
the line On actual time Alcyon won
and Bug II. took second prize. How
ever. there was only forty-five seconds
between the yachts when the corrected
time was figured
f. T. Supper's Mouse scored another
victory among the lower bay knock
abouts. The craft took 2:o4:22 to
sail the course. The time was excellent
as 1t took II. II. Finla.'s Meteor. winner
of the star yachts, 2 II :36 to cover the
same course. The star yachts were late
in starting. which may account for the
