success IN every respect and was run
OFT in smooth fashion by H. de B. Par

Sailed BY Owners
Carroll B. Alker's Istalena and
George N. Nichols's Carolina were the
, only ffty-footers that started and they
had an interesting brush. Both boats
were sailed by their owners. Istalena
got away first, with Carolina close up
on her weather quarter. They carried
balloon jib topsails and on the first leg
stood well in toward the Long Island
shore to get the benefit of the ebb tide.
lstalena maintained her lead at the
first mark and was ahead when the
yachts completed the first round of the
course. She had an advantage of il2
seconds at the end of the first round
and finally won by minutes and %
seconds. Istalena had just come off
the ways and was in splendid racing
condition. She looked far better yes
terday than she has at any time this
year.
Four of the forty-footers were sent
away in close order, with Zilph leading
and Pampero and Monsoon immediately
astern. Zilph maintained her lead and
was ahead as the first round was COM
! pleted. Only l minute and 25 seconds
separated the four yachts as they
started away on the second round. At
this time Rowdy was second and Pam
pero third. Zilph was cleverly sailed
and did well on the wind She won by
| 2 minutes and % seconds over Rowdy.

sailed by Phillip Mallory, of Port Chess
ter.
There were seven starters in the in
ternational six-meter class, and this
event was won handily by Grebe, vet
eran of last years team race in Eng
land. The six-meters sailed once
around the course, distance of nine
and one-eighth miles. Grebe had a
new suit of sails and did impressive
work on the wind, but she had sharp
fight in nosing out Cygnet by the mar
row margin of % seconds. Priscilla
finished 16 seconds astern of Cygnet.
