PRISCILLA FIRST
In 6 METER RACE
Outsails Fleet in Annual Re-
gatta of the KnickerbOcker
Yacht Club.
BY ARTHUR r. ALDRIDGE.

Thirty-seven yachts raced yesterday
in the forty-sixth annual regatta of
the knickerbocker Yacht Club and they
made races in nine classes. The wind.
light at the start and blowing from
south southeast, freshened during the
racing ana, after sharp rain squall
hauled to the south and finally to south
southwest. This gave the yachts a
reach on the first leg. windward work
on the second and then a broad reach
across the Sound to the finish. Tho
black and red spar buoy to the north
ward OF Execution Light.
Seven of the six meter yachts started.
The Nanwa, owned. built and designed
by w. ]. Wayte of Greenwich was the
new member of the fleet and. on ac-
count of her queer model she was some
what of a mystery. She was sailed by
Walter II. Bowes. who berthed her
well at the start. getting away second
to Peggy. She did fairly well reaching
but failed when on the wind and fin
ished a poor last.
The meter yachts sailed a triangle of
ten miles with turning marks at buoy
near Parsonage Point and red spar
buoy D2. between Motifs and Prospect
points. This gave them a windward
leg of three and three-quarters miles.
The starting line was a very poor
one. 1t was made almost in the di-
rection the yachts were to sail instead
of at right angles to the course, and this
made it advantageous to cross from
the committee boat end. Some yachts
men who had not figured carefully
failed to note this and were badly handi-
capped at the start.
The six meter boats were punched at
the start. Peggy. sailed by Clinton Fl.
Crane and Hendon Chubb, was first
away, with Nanwa close second. The
Montauk, with Winthrop w. Aldrich, was
next, and then came Bally-Hoo. sailed
by Addison G. Hanan. and with his
sons, Leonard and Richard. and b. X.
Sharp on board. Clytie. sailed by II.
b. Plant and Fred NJ Hoyt. Priscilla,
sailed by Johnston de Forest, assisted
by Clinton Work and Butler Whiting,
and Grebe. sailed by Richard de B.
Boardman and Irwin Townsend.
They kept fairly close together reach
ing to the first mark. but when on the
wind Priscilla. Clytie and Bally- Hoo
made a hot fight for the lead. which
Priscilla gained and held to the finish.
She won the race by / minute 19 Sec
onds. Clytie. the second boat. finished
fifteen seconds ahead of Bally-Hoo.
Grebe was fourth.
