After being inactive for the past fort
night, owing to Larchmont Week, the
Corinthians OF the lower bay gathered
on the Atlantic Yacht Club yesterday
afternoon and sailed in the annual re-
gatta Of the New York Canoe Club.
There Is saying among Gravesend Bay
sailors that the canoemen always have

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
The course took the craft on q reach
on the Btarboard tack from the starting
line on Sea Gate to a mark OF Norton's
Point. Here the yachts went on the
wind for their long beat to Fort Hamil-
ton. A run followed to a mark on Benz
their sheets and had another close reach
to the Finish line.
