attract a great deal Of attention and
many veteran yachtsmen and men in~

American team Of four boats would be-
selected from Grebe, L'Esprit, Clytie,
Lea, Priscilla and Viva. The eliniina-

of selecting this team, will start off

for week or more. It 10 the present

to hold three races day, beginning at
~ o'clock in the morning, until the
field Of sixteen yachts has been sifted
down to the succe sful four
Yesterdays race was sailed through
steady downpour that swept down
the Sound on the wings of a cold
northeast wind. Despite these UNI
favorable conditions the Huguenot
clubs open regatta drew fifty-one en-
tries. The largest class to start was
the Larchmont 80" sloops, three Of
which put in an appearance Leroy
Sargent's Nimbus, formerly the props
erty of Harry Maxwell, was the win
1er. She easily outfooted P. H. john
sons Gray Dawn. Betty, owned by
Ford & Foss, was third.
The weather and the fact that they
had just finished a long and arduous
cruise combined to keep the New York
Yacht Clubs ffty-footers and forty%
footers away.
Three Of the New York thirty-foos-
ers started, sailing over a course Of
eleven miles. ]. A. Mahlstedt's Okee
proved to be the winner by more than
three minutes over Adios, owned BY
the Hornidge brothers. R. N. Amberg's
Silhouette was rather distant third,
Five Victory boats started and sailed
lively race over a nine-mile course,

Eimer's Gopher was second, less than
two minutes sstern of the winner,
H. W. Bucks Madelon was third.
W. L. Insley's Taurus was the winner
among ten of the Star class that wsrs
sent over q course of six miles, Trek
being second and Aquilla third
The wind was light at the start, but
briskly at the finish. The courses laid
out by the race committee, of which
A. L. Anderson is the chairman, gave
the feet windward thrash, close
reach to the second mark and broad
reach home.
Bally-Hoo did her best work on the
wind, and it was in this leg that she
gained sufficient advantage to give her
the verdict. The other six-neter boats
cut down her lead in both of the
reaches but could not overhaul her.
The six-meter craft will take part IN
two special races to-day that have been
arranged for them by the Larchm ont
Yacht Club. It is expected that the
two Boston entries will start In these
events.
