racing craft far over and laid lee rails

came cam with the squall many of the little

Harry Maxwell, was first home in the
event for New York Yacht Club 60
footers, defeating George M. Pynchon's
lstalena IN whirlwind finish by thir-
teen seconds. The finish which came
"heh the squall was at its height, was
one OF the most spectacular seen on
| the Sound this year. Maxwell handled
Spartan with great deal Of skill, but
he needed all his knowledge of the
game to head off the flying Istalena,
which was ably handled by her owner.
j. ?. Morgan's Grayling, the winner
OF Mondays brush, was a rather un'n-
teresting third. She was sailed by
Ralph Ellis. An amusing incident &C.
CURED as the great black hulled Gray
ling was bearing down toward the
finish line on the port tack.
At the same time G. w. Elders Sat
urn, tiny cockleshell of the Star
Glass, was approaching the finish on
the starboard tack, which gave her the
right of way over Commodore Nor
gan's 50-footer AS the two boats con-
verged it was evident that one or the
other would be forced to alter her
course if a collision was to be avoided.
Elder Not Overawed
Elder was evidently aware of his
rights and was not a bit c''crawed by
the towering s'0"-' N.ariAx down on
I him. He held l.. cJurse and forced
the Morgan craft ny into the wind to
allow him to pass.
Ogden Reid's Lena won over a field
of eight New York Yacht Club 80
footers, showing the way across the
| finish line to D. 2. Richardson's Miz-
rah by SO seconds. Adios, the prop
erty Of F. L. Richards, was third. Sill
houette, sailed by Philip Mallory, of
Port Chester, was contendeHSin this
race until she broke her tiller and had
to withdraw. Silhouette got away to
| 8 brilliant start and was looked upon
as likely winner until the accident
put her out of the running.
