have encountered since the annual
cruise was started at Newport last
Thursday. 1t was day FOR double
reefs, oil skins and Sou'westers.
The fast time recorded by all OF the
twenty-five yachts that started the
forty run will give some indiea-
tion of the strength of the wind that
! bowled them along. The wind held
true throughout the day and gave the
| boats almost free run from the start
ing line off Woodend, Provincetown, to
Easternpoint Gloucester.
Commodore Harold S. Vanderbilt
! schooner Vagrant was the first of the
| feet to finish and, although she did not
win the Vice Commodore's cup Of
fered for her class, she covered the
forty miles in the remarkably fast time
i of hours 81 minutes and 58 seconds.
! Gherardi Davis's Alice, one of the little
thirty footers, made the distance over
somewhat tempestuous sea in hours
| IS minutes and 81 seconds, which was
| fast enough to permit her to beat fifty
! footers and the forty-footers on her
| time allowance.
| "Thirties" in Rough Water
| When the start was made from
Provincetown, there seemed to be con-
! siderable doubt as to whether the
"thirties" would attempt the voyage,
owing to the heavy seas and the prom
Use in the skies of mean weather. The
shippers of the little sloops settled
! this doubt quickly. They put on sail
and made the tough three-mile wind
ward beat to the starting line, their
lee rails awash and their crews

voyage across Massachusetts Bay, oc-
casionally taking waves across their
decks that wet their mainsails as high
as their racing numbers.
Gherardi Daviss Alice, which was
sailed to-day by Sherman Hoyt, led
Ogden Reds Lena across the finish
line by 2 minutes and 50 seconds. S. C.

/ onds astern of Lena.
/ f. D. M. Strachan won his first vic
| tory in his Harpoon, one of the fifty
| footers, when he defeated Carroll B.
AIker's Istalena, the sloop that has
| been performing SO sensationally in
| this cruise. Strachan. former owner of
the forty footer Monsoon, purchased
the fifty footer Acushla from L. G.
Hammerlay and renamed her Harpoon
lstalena put up her usual game fight
this afternoon, but was not quite up to
HarHoon's fine work off the wind. The
| Strachan yacht won by 56 seconds,
which is close enough in q forty-mile
race.
Only two of the ffty-foot sloops
| took part in to-days race to this port,
which is due to the fact that the
cups offered for the run were put up
/ by Nice-Commodore Nichols, who owns
and sails the Carolina. This yacht

Commodore Nichols evidently changed
his mind and raised signal asking
permission to disregard orders from
the committee boat.
Carolina After Kings Gun
Carolina started after all the other
classes had been sent away and with
her owner and w. Butler Duncan on
board crossed the bay leisurely under
couple of jibs and d storm trysail.
1t Is said that Commodore Nichols has
his eye on the Kings Cup, to be raced
tor OFT Marblehead on Wednesday and
didn't want to take any chances on
running Cardinals new mainsail.
Queen Nab, winner on corrected
time, among the schooners, was sailed
by Robert w. Emmons I'd. She was led
into port by Commodore Vanderbilt's
Vagrant, by the margin of twenty five
minutes, but this time was not suf-
1iclent to wipe out the smaller
schooner's time allowance. Vagrant
is twenty-three feet longer on the
water line than Queen NAB.
Vagrant lost something at the start.
| owing to the fact that Commodore Van
derbilt had figured his time too fine and
went over the line just two seconds
too soon and was recalled to make q
second start. This cost the flagship
about two and half minutes. Once
across the line, however, Commodore
| Vanderbilt piled on all the canvas he
had, despite the young gale that was
| steaming up out of the Southwest. On
her false start Vagrant led all the
schooners. When she was recalled the

Rowdy Victor Over Squaw
The battling 40-footers had their
usual rough and tumble russell over the
entire distance Of forty miles, and six
OF them finished within nine minutes
of each other. Seven of this doughty
class started and H. S. Duell's Rowdy
was the winner, defeating John s. Law
rence's Squaw by forty seconds.
The starts to-day were productive
of many thrilling brushes up and down
the line, even though position did not
| mean so much, due to the fact that the
race was to be run to leeward.

start than Harpoon. leading the later
