eastern Long Island section, was last
1t was light weather day yesterday,
and when the yachts reached the start
ing line. which was at the red and black
spar buoy northeast of Execution Light,
the water was as still as the proverbial
mill pond and not breath of air ruffled
its surface.
The committee OF the Manhasset Bay
Yacht Club had charge of the race, and
this committee was on board Capt. Lucius
NJ. Wainwright's power yacht Klahanee.
Some have wondered what this name
means. IL is Indian and signifies mo
abiding place." and is particularly ap-
propriate 10 a yacht that cruises in
northern latitudes in the summer and
in southern waters in the winter. as
Klahanee docs. The committee was Her
bert +. l.. Funke, Vice-Commodore f.
Il. Raymond and X. w. Fraser. and they
wisely decided to wait for the wind
short Wait for Wind.
The wait was not long one. for
shortly after 2 o'clock light south
wester stole down the Sound and the
course signals were set. This course
took the yachts first to buoy DE-, in
Hampstead Harbor: then across the
Sound TO Parsonage Point, and then TO
the finishing line. This made II two
legs of reaching to Parsonage Point and
then a beat OF four miles home
The yachts drifted down to the start
ing line Brownie was caught in the
tide and carried across the line too
soon, so that she had to return and
was Handicapped more than three min
utes. Taurus was first away and was
we'll to weather OF the others. Three
star followed and then came South
Wind. Tara and Fejo. With booins
eased 10 port they headed in toward
Hempstead Harbor and separated con-
siderably, but as they drew near to the
first mark they were all in close COM
many again The wind by that time
had fresheued to a nice sailing breeze.
Brownie had caught up with the others
and as they turned they practically
started on even terms again The times
taken as they gybed were Taurus.

Taurus Leads on the Wind.
Taurus took the port tack, standing
IN toward the New York shore. and the
others followed, thus making 1t very
easy for Inslec. There seemed 60 be
little more wind off shore, but no skip
rer would take chance and go after

away from the others. South Wind
worked into second place but could not
hold It. South Wind would foot well

the Fojo from Lake Erie and then
crossed the bow Of South Wind. Taurus
had nothing to do but hold tho other
boats safe and this Inslee did without
much trouble.
