The fall regatta OF the Larchmont
Yacht Club sailed yesterday was one
of the best of the season. The fleet of
starters. sixty-four in number was not
as large as some regattas, but what it
lacked in quantity it more than made up
In quality. The wind was fresh from
east north east and the water was
choppy. The committee. Howell c.
Perrin, Major W. II. Smith. J. Arthur
Knapp and Capt. Russell Raynor. lost
no time over preliminaries and sent the
yacht off promptly. In each class the
first leg was to windward The large
yachts. the fifty. forty and thirty-nine
angle with turning points off Green
wich Point and Oak Neck.
Three of the fifties started, Istalena,
sailed by her owner. George NJ Pynchon
Acushla, sailed by Clifford D. Mallory.
and Spartan, sailed by Commodore
Ralph Ellis. Istalena had working or
gaff topsail--what the English call a.
jibheader. The other two had club top
sails. The manoeuvring was very clever
and as the signal sounded all three
were almost 3yS-ned. Istalena being just
little aL>dd. with Spartan ON her
weather quarter and Acushla to lee
ward Istalena footed very fast and
soon drew ahead. and when she took
the port tack nine minutes after the
start she was able to cross Spartan's
bow. She stood across the Sound to the
Long Island side. The Spartan and
Acushla had a good fight for a time and
then split tack. Spartan heading to the
north shore. The Istalena held her lead
on the reaches and won by 4 minutes
81 seconds. Acushla, the second yacht
beat Spartan minutes % seconds.
Monsoon Leads on.
The shippers OF the forties were all
''gun shy" Monsoon led at the start
but was As seconds late. Shawara was
minute and half late and Pampero
was 2 minutes 10 seconds after the sig
nal They carried no topsails at the
start. The race was practically settled
at the start. and Monsoon won easily
Grey Dawn. in the hands Of eddie
Fish, got the advantage of the Georgia
at the start Of the 80 footers. Georgia
tried to cross on the port tack, but was
forced to give way to Grey Dawn on
starboard tack. After that Grey Dawn
steadily increased her lead, winning
handily.
Six of the 80 footers got away well
punched. with Alexa and Adios leading
Nautilus won by minutes 33 seconds
Alexa was second. So seconds ahead OF
Lena. Lena beat Adios by 10 seconds
for the third prize These yachts and
the first handicap division went to Cap
tains Island and Oak Neck. seventeen
and half miles. The smaller classes
went twice around a five and a half mile
triangle. with the first turn at the Scotch
Caps buoys.
