There were seventy-four yachts in

Ssve Harbor this morning by the flag
I'm Corsair to start the first annual

ypd.driven craft joined the squadron

1 Issyes here for New London early to-
narrow morning there will be at least
one hundred vessels in the fleet.
Wallow Around for Three Hours
After they we're sent away the
Yachts spent three hours wailowing
around in the doldrums. There was
4 inst A suggestion of breeze from the
ruthwest, but this lasted only long
enough to get the boats over the
sarting line, and then it left them
lat When the wind finally came up
from the southwest it made the run
10 New Haven & broad reach.
The harbor start was made at 8
4 n. in q dead flat calm. the entire
rscing fleet being towed out to Matini
.Ock Point, off which the flagship Cor
,air was anchored The starting line
was between the Corsair and bell
buoy to the eastward.
The Class C schooners were the first
10 be sent away on the thirty-ninem
yum to New Haven, and they hardly
found breeze enough to carry them
ever the line. The surface of the
Sound was smooth, oily and unrippled,
what little wind there was being aloft
and very light.
An opalescent mist hung low over
the water, and it grew heavier as the
squadron headed out into the Sound.
|iy 10 a. nj. it was so thick that OBJ
ieets half nile away were invisible.
Seen through the diaphanous haze the
racing yachts, standing tall and mo-
tionless on the still waters, looked like
phantom fleet rising up out Of a sea
81 oil.
Wind Both Light and Tricky
A feathery, almost indiscernible
breeze came whispering out of the
southwest, and it was barely enough to
give the boats steering power. While
iaere appeared to be plenty of wind
on the west shore of the Sound, there
was almost none at all on the Long
Island side. until after I o'clock, when
pickering catspaws dabbed at the sur
lace hers and there ard finally devel-
0psd into something resembling a real
sailing breeze. This wind strength
ened slowly, but steadily, and by 3
o'clock, when the leading boats OF the
squadron were between Bridgeport, on
me connecticut short, and Port JEFF
ierson, L. l., the entire feet was bowl
ing along in good shape.

aahed steel schooner that would have
