Atlantic 7. C.. Feature

Unusual interest was given to the
summer regatta OF the Atlantic Yacht
Club yesterday by the appearance of
fleet Of racing canoes that took part
in brush for the historic Elliott Tro-
ply. Five Of the little fellows came
down to the lower bay Among the
number was Mermaid, the property of
Leo s. Friede, the champion sailing
canoeist OF the world. Friede had no
great difficulty in winning, with Ira
Kip coming home second in his Ban
shee. In addition to the racing canoes,
four open canoes also took part in the
regatta. The winner was W. j. Wicket
Light winds and a strong ebb tide
practically spoiled the racing among
the regular classes. The Victory di-
vision was sent over a nine-mile course
that took the yachts across the channel.
The winner was Nieuport, the property
of young Lyman Brown. On both actual
and corrected time Arethusa won in the
first division of the handicap class. In
the second division May was the first
| home. On corrected time the winner
proved to be Virginia.
Just prior to the start of the third
division Commodore H. Rottammer,
while sailing around in his Bug H.,
picked up a half drownded bather The
man was unconscious. He was taken
ashore in tender from Undaunted, the
flagship of the Ltlantic Yacht Club, and
then taken to the Coney Island Hos
pital. Picking ~ CT the man put Com
m doro Pott m lTsH,, o,,+ Of
the race. Iris won the division on both
actual and corrected time.
AS usual, the knockabout class was
taken by E.. T. Suppers Mouse. Two
big yawls also started. They found
the wind so light that both were forced
to give up the contest. In fact several
Of the other yachts withdrew, as they
could not buck the ebb tide on the long
weather leg of the course.
