Yacht Carolina
ToEasy Victory
]. p. Morgan With His Gray
ling Bows to Skill of Som
in-Law for Second Time
BY Jack Lawrence

took his black-hulled Carolina out on
the seraphic waters of the sound this
afternoon and exhibited her maritime
heels to four other New York Yacht
CloS 5o-footers in the annual spring
reCatta of the Seawanahaka- CorintAian
acht Club.
This feat is apparently becoming a
ha1it with Mr. Nichols, and it is very
evident that he has no regard for the
feelings of j. P. Morgan, hisfather-in-
law, for he has defeated the latter,
commanding the good. ship Grayling,
twice now within a apcriod OF eight
rdavs.
The speedy Grayling finished not
particularly interesting second to the
Carolina, whose skipper outsailed and
outguessed the commodore of the New
York Yacht Club, who had the Gray
lings wheel. Nichols outfooted the same
group of fifties this afternoon that
tried to stop him a week ago off New
Rochelle.
Spartan Finishes Third
H. B. Plants Spartan finished third,
some three minutes behing the Gray
ling, while the Istaleha, owned by
George M. Pyncheon, was fourth and l..
G. Hammersley's Acushla was some
what melancholy last.
Pickering zephyrs that were hardly
sporty enough to heel a boat Of the
fish class almost spoiled the Seawan-
haka clubs spring outing to-day
What little breeze there was threat
ened to quit and call it a day about the
time the first platoons of white winged
racing craft were to be sent away and
it was all that the big 50-footers could
do to stagger to the line under droop-
1ad Astf3,p mi a y n
conditions were better suited to sitting
under an awning on the afterdeck with
a mint julep moored near ones star
board elbow.
However, playful little breeze final
ly came drifting lazily out OF the south
east and was strong enough to CORFU
gate the looking-glass surface Of the
Sound in spots.
Making the best Of his we'll known
faculty for playing fast and loose with
coy and frivolous Winds, Mr.. Nichols
appr opriated an early lead for Caro-
lima, and Commodore Morgan was
never able to head him off.
The best sport of the day, however,
remained 1or the little fellows with
diminutive sail spread. They got off
to q listleas start, but the freshening
wind blew them some real cumpe 5itlon
tnulariy the cae in the 'Seawanhaka-
Corinthian fish class, stout LITTLE
sloop-rigeed craft that look as though
they could stand any kind of weather
There were ten ;,sarters in the tlsh
cl, SIS event and eight of them swooped
down on the finish line so closely
grouped that their crews could con
verse with each other without raising
their voices
Manitee Proves Victor
Alfred Strauss Manitee came home a
winner after sailing the seven lie
course in hour as minutes and 81
seconds. Sculpin, owned by Franklin
Remington, was second, and Cookie, the
property Of Outerbrdge & Harvey
third. w Emlen Roosevelt's Snapper
sailed by Phillip j. Roosevelt, said to
be the star of the fish class shippers
was heavily backed to win, but the best
she could do was to straggle in sixth.
The ubiquitous Pampero, owned by
c. L. Andrews, was once more winner
in the race for New York Yacht Club
| 40-footers, although the going was
made intere sting for her by Harold
| Wesson's Shawara.
d. R. Richardson's Mizpah was re-
turned a winner over seven starters In
the event for New York Yacht Club 30
footers. Hoqua, the winner in this
class one week ago, finishing second,
and Alera, owned by F. w. Belknap,
coming in third.
The thirties got away to somewhat
dropping start with Adios, owned by
F. l.. Richards, out in front, but closely
pursued by Ogden NJ. Reid's Lena on
the leeward end of the line. Lena set
her spinnaker to starboard immediate
ly after the start and seemed to catch
few wandering puffs. The voyage to
the outer mark was largely matter
of guess work on account OF the fitful
breeze and in this respect Mi1pah
seemed to have all the better of it.
