LARCHMONT MANOR, N. Y, July
25.-As the annual race week of the
Larchmont Yacht Club draws to q close
the fleets that gather on Long Island
Sound have been growing larger and
larger and to-day no less than seventy
one yachts crossed the starting line
oil Larchmont Breakwater in the fifth
race of the series. The fleet was one
yacht larger than the high water mark
Tor the season hung up in the re-
gatta on Thursday.
Again the Corinthians were favored
by ideal weather conditions. The north
east breeze to-day was a shade stronger
than the southwest airs that sent the
craft around their respective courses
so merrily on Thursday. Unfortu-
nately, northeast breeze on the
sound generally is puffy affair and
to-day The wind came in fits and
starts, forcing the yachtsmen to be
on the Jump continually. There was
plenty OF body to the pufs, which kept
knocking the racing yachts down, 20
ne great enjoyment of all hands
When the committee, made up Of
Chairman Howail C. Perrin, H. L. Flint
and Captain Philip Raynor, L. s. n. TO-
b.
set the course signals on board the
Satinstoe, the new Larchmont commit
tee boat, the big fleet of boats dancing
around the starting line, formed per
fect yachting picture. Again the thirty
nine-footers Of the Larchmont club lad
the post of honor and were the first
craft to be sent way. The trio, to-
gether with the Class N sloop Alice,
we're sent away five minutes after their
usual starting time. The delay was
necessary, as the committee found it
imperative to change the marks that
established the line
Long Reach on Port Tack
The course chosen for the big fell
lows gave them q long reach on the
port tack as the first leg Of their scrap.
lhe turning buoy was off Oak Neck on
the Long Island short Here the
Yachts went on the wind for short
thrash across the Sound to another
mark off Greenwich Point. A broad
reach brought the craft home.
The Class N Alice led the thiYty-nine
tooters across the line. Then came
Phllip H. Johnston's Grey Dawn. fol.
lowed closely BY Commodore Fords
Naruna, with Butler Whiting in com.
mand and J. +. Feder's Nimbus in the
hands of Edmund Fish. Nicely heeled
TO the breeze that came over their port
quarter, the big sloops moved rapidly
up the sound
Inc course chosen for the thirty
,ooters and the other larger yachts
OF the smaller classes gave them
splnnaker run from the starting line
to mark off Motifs Point Here thew
also went on the wind for beat
across the Sound. Many carried spin
makers on the third leg of the triangle.
1T cannot be said that the thirties
made very brilliant start The excep-
tion was Ogden Reid, who had his
Lena nicely berthed near the line and
was away q few seconds ahead Of his
nearest competitor
In the usual order the other divi
slons went away without anv note
worthy incident. Starting down the
wind never is wildly exciting, and to-
day was no exception. Here and there
a class was minus a yacht, only 10
nave another division add a craft or
two to its fleet. As things are run
ming, the committee believes that at
east one hundred yachts will be here
tomorrow. The Fish class Of the
Seawanhaka Corinthian Yacht Club are
to race over tomorrow morning from
oyster Bay. They will be conveyed
