VI inc event InuS lar.
The corrected time figured from rat
ing measurements, which were given
out Late this evening from the Corsair
showed that the rear commodore's cups
offered for the winning schooner and
sloop in the run from New Haven to
New London were won by the Sonnica
and the Carolina, respectively.
Harold S. Vanderbilt's Vaerant fin
ished second to Sonnica to-day, as she
did yesterday, although she aid not
give Shonnard's blackhulled flyer
nearly SO hard a fight Sailed by Mr.
Vanderbilt himself Vagrant crossed the
finish line twelve minutes astern of
the Sonnica. Close behind Vagrant
was Carl fuckers Ohonkara.
Fifty-Footers Furnish Many a Thrill
To-day's race between the New York
Yacht Clubs fifty-footers was thriller
from start to finish and was won
and lost in the last mile, four of the
sky-scraping sloops booming down the
wind to the line almost abreast. With
maainsails. balloon, jib topsails and
spinnakers drawing full under TWEEN
ty-knot breeze the fifties made Won
derful picture as they swooped down
to the finish like flock of huge white
winged birds.
George Nichols, at the wheel of his
black Carolina. had the most favorable
position and crossed the line q winner
by few seconds over l.. Gordon Ham
mersley's Acushla, the victor in
Wednesdays run from Glen Cove to
New Haven; The little craft was sailed
by Bob Mahlstedt, of New Rochelle.
George M. Pynchon's Istalena was
a battling third and j. P. Morgan's
Grayling, handled by her owner and
ms son Junlus, was an equally close
fourth. L. F. Crofoot's Virginia ram
pied IN, an embarrassing fifth, and H.
b.. Plants Spartan, sailed by Harry
MAXWELL was decidedly distant last
Being the victim of her own skipper's
wrong guess as to the location of the
best wind.
Monsoon, owned by F. D. M. Strachan,
OF brunswick, Ga, was smart winner
among the New York orty-footers,
romping home with a comfortable lead
over John S. Lawrence's Squaw. Paul
Inc, the property of o. G. Jennings, of
in this class despite the fact that she
carried away her topmast when hardly
two-thirds of the distance had been
covered and staggered into port with
the spar and canvas tangled mass,
hanging down on the mainsail.
j.. V. Lockwood's Masie was the first
of the Larchmont thirty-nine footers
to finish. She beat out Gray Dawn. the
property of P. Fl. Johnson, of Phila-
delphia, in hard-fought duel.
Great Race Among 3O-Footers
The race between the New York
thirty-footers was as close as that be-
tween the ''tifties" and in some respects
more spectacular. In driving finish
it was won by Gherardi Davis's Alice,
sailed by Robert Finlay, a Corinthian
from Gravesend Bay. Dr.. Richardson's
Mizpah, although sailing with the Jaws
of her gaff shattered, was a good sec
ond and M. E. Hatfeld's Nautilus, a
close third. Mizpah was the second
crippled yacht to finish in .the money.
The start of to-day's run was made
between the flagship Corsair and a
breakwater crisp, ten-knot breeze
out of the southwest gave a spectacu-
lar touch to the starts and made the
preliminary maneuvering excitingly
brilliant.
In some of the clashes the boats
were so closely punched as thew
flashed over the line that it was i'm
possible to distinguish one from an
other, and several Of them escaped
fouling by inches.
Seven schooners were sent awav on
the long run to New London at 9:4O
a. M, and six of them went over the
line so closely punched that it would
have been possible to step from one
to another: The Sonnica was 4 trine
late in going over the line, but with
