One of the most interesting yacht
races arranged In several years will be
that for the Brooklyn Yacht Club Chal-
lenge Cup, which is to be started next
Saturday at noon from a line or New
Rochelle harbor. This race. over an
ocean course, is under the auspices Of
the New Rochelle Yacht Club. That
club holds the trophy and 10 to defend 1t
against five challengers.
The course over which the yachts Will
sail Is through Long Island Sound and
Block Island Sound to the Vineyard
Sound lightship. which is to be rounded
on the starboard hand. Then the yachts
are to sail south OF Block Island. Long
Island and Coney Island and to finish
in Gravesend Bay off the Atlantic Yacht
Club That club will be the temporary
station OF the Brooklyn Yacht Club.
The Brooklyn Yacht Club donated the
trophy. and one OF its conditions is that
either the start or finish must be in
Gravesend Bay. The total distance to
be sailed Is 2s2 nautical miles.
Chairman John X. Brophy and his as
sistants on the regatta committee of the
New Rochelle Yacht Club have worked
hard to make this race a success, and
there are indications now that eight
yachts will start. This will be the
largest feet since the cup was put in
competition In 1905. The New Rochelle
Yacht Club won the race that year with
Frank Maier's Tamerlane. II won again
In 1910 with Herbert l.. Stones Waialua
and last year with Charles A. Marsland's
