Wednesday in Fish
Glass; Adios Leads Way
By Jack Lawrence

racing weather prevailed here to-day
when another great feet OF yachts
was sent away in the fourth day Of
Larchmont race week. The wind blew
strong and steady from the northeast,
kicking up a lively sea that added
plenty of zest to the regatta.
The going became so heavy late in
the afternoon that several boats were
unable to finish, and one--a member
of the "U" class-had ner mainsail
blown to ribbons just as she was pre-
pairing to cross the starting line.
The days racing was marked by
close finishes in all classes. only four
minutes separating the first and the
last of the victories at the finish line,
which is remarkable, considering that
ten. of these yachts started. There
was one tie, and in a number of in
stances the boats finishing first and
apart.
Able Handling Wins
George NJ. Pynchon's fstalena, ably
handled by her owner, outmaneuvered
and outgeneraled the four New York
Yacht Club 50-footers that sailed
against her over triangular course
of twenty miles. Pynchon's perform
ance was a remarkable one in which
he bested some of the best Corin-
thians on long Island Sound. He went
off about his business imme diately
after crossing the starting line, leav-
ing the four others punched and work
ing along line of strategy that kept
them together practically throughout
the race.
The first leg for the hfties was a
windward beat to a mark off Greenwich
Point, from which they had a reach to
Oak Neck, L. l., and a run down the
wind to the finish. Acushla, Spartan,
Grayling and Carolina went over the
line on the starboard tack and never got
very far from the west shore of the
Sound during the entire windward leg
Pynchon, however, after getting away
last, took Istalena off on a long port
tack far out into the Sound, where he
evidently found a better wind than his
rivals did along the shore This ma
neuver appeared to surprise the experts
on the committee boat, and as the yachts
towering club topsail faded out in the
! direction of Long Island. it was believed
by some that she had withdrawn from
the race. Her long tacks gave back to
Istalena all that she had lost in the
start, and her shippers final bit of
strategy gave her the victory
In the run down the wind from the
second mark, instead of laying directly
for the line, Pynchon stood out toward
the middle of the Sound with spinnaker
and ballooner set. When he found him
self IN the right position he took in
these sails and made the finish line on
close reach, crossing with lots of speed
and bone flashing in Istalena's teeth.
Acushla Finishes Second
All the other fifties made the final leg
before the wind. Acushla managed to
nose out j. P Morgan's Grayling, sailed
| by Ralph Ellis, for second place, and
F! Carolina, regarded as this years cham
pion of her class, finished very bad
last She was sailed by her owner.
George Nichols.
Adios, the property of F. L. Richards.
was first among the New York Yacht
Club 3O-footers, sailing over the tri-
angular course of seventeen and a half
miles in hours and 50 seconds Nau-
titus, owned by M. E. Hatfield, was sec
ond, William G. Low jr.'s Houqua, after
getting away in front, finished third.
The best race of the day was sailed
by the Victory class and was won by
H. S. Morgan's Black Jack by the mar
row margin of 3 seconds over Blue
Jacket, the property of Commodore ].
B. Ford, of the Larchmont Yacht Club.
Blue Jacket led the field over almost
the entire 11-mile course, being caught
and passed by the Morgan boat in the
last 500 yards. II. F. Whitneys Blue
Devil was third
Miss Dorothy Iselin, sailing one Of
the little Sewanhaka Corinthian Fish
class, repeated her victory of Wednes-
day when she again brought the tiny
Fly home in the Fourth Division Handi-
cap. Wasp, owned by A. Mccall, trailed
Miss 1selin's boat across the finish line.
J. F. Mahlstedt sailed winning race
in Georgia, defeating Grey Dawn and
Maisie in the event for Larchmont So
