Strachan's Craft Scores an
Easy Victory in Annual
Struggle of New York A. C..

Some of the best racing that has
been enjoyed on the Long Island Sound
this summer was mad yesterday in the
annual regatta Of the New York Ath-
letic Club, sailed over six, nine and
eleven-mile Courses off Execution Light
The wind was strong and true out of
the southwest, giving the sixty starters
a run, beat and a reach to the finish
line. The breeze was smart enough to
spot the course with sparkling white
caps, and the large field of small boats
had lively time OF it with their lee
rails awash despite their shortened
SAIL
One yacht, A. C. Fox's Mignon, COM
peting in the handicap class, parted a
shroud in the second leg, and the Jolt,
as she came bouncing up into the wind,
threw one of her crew overheard. He
was rescued and the boat withdrew
from the race.
There was a race scheduled for the
New York Yacht Club ffty-footers,
but mono Of this class put in an ap-
pearance. Some yachtsmen were in
cilned to regard this as an indica
tion that the shippers of the big fel
lows were not in sympathy with the
New York Athletic Clubs idea of send
ing the racing fleet over shortened
courses, which is what was done yes
terday.
"Fifties" Fail to Appear
Under the prevailing conditions,
with snappy sou'wester piping
merrily' the triangular eleven-mi
spin would hardly have provided a
sail-stretching dash for the fifty
footers. The limited course will prob
ably prove popular on fiat days, but
with a snappy wind like that of yes
terday it means the overlooking Of
lot Of fine sport
Three of the husky forty-footers
were on hand yesterday and they had a
brilliant tussle, even though they did
travel only eleven miles This distance
was sufficient for F. D. NJ. Strachan to
prove that he was in mood to show
Monsoon's heel to Harold Wessons
Shawara and c. L. Andrews's Pampero,
which followed the Strachan boat home
IN that order. Monsoon appeared to do
her best work on the wind, and in this
phase of the contest appropriated the
lead that ultimately spelled victory.
Only seven of the New York thirties
started, but there was plenty of vim
and pep in their contest, which is moth
Ing unusual for this tough little class
larger field was expected but it was
explained that a number of the thirties
are now cruising to the eastward
Mizpah Leads Thirty-Footers
D. R. Richardson's Mizpah led the
class over the eleven-mile course,
showing the way home to f. L. Rich
ardss Ados by three minutes. Oriole,
the property Of S. c. Pirie, was a good
third, finishing only ten seconds astern
of Adios.
One of the best races of the day was
sailed by the Long Island Sound
schooners and was won by L. Haw-
thornes Algol by margin of ten sec
onds over j. S. Appleby's Allure. Miss
Helen Snow, of Mamaroneck, again
proved that she is one OF the best small
boat shippers in the western end Of the
Sound when she brought her tiny
Thane home a winner in the Orienta
onedesign class. Sakty, the property
of Heggerty Brothers, was second and
Alice, owned by A. r. Grifen, third.
