breeze that blew steadily out of the
Carroll B. Alker's 1stalena, one Of
the 50-foot sloops enjoying time al
lowance of 81 minutes and Is seconds
from Vagrant, was nosed out of first
place on corrected time by only 48
seconds. 1t was one of the closest
! finishes this annual classic has ever pro-
| duced. Sixteen seconds astern Of 1sta-
lena was F. D. M. Strachan's Harpoon,
another 50-footer.
Carl fuckers schooner Ohonkara,
while she actually finished second,
short distance astern of Vagrant, was
| listed as fourth on corrected time.
Winthrop w. Aldrich's schooner Fly
ing Cloud was fifth and behind her
came Frank Paine's 50-footer Barbara.
e, Walter Clark's Irolita was seventh
and the 50-footer Winsome, owned by
G. H. w. Foster, was eighth. The
schooner Shawna, the property of S. M.
Milliken, was last, more than an hour
behind Vagrant on corrected time.
Carolina, the black hulled sIoop
owned and sailed by Vice-C Commodore
| George Nichols, of the New York Yacht
| Club, was one Of the favorites in the
| betting last night. She won the cup
last year when it was raced for off
Newport. 1t became known this morn
ing that Carolina's built-up mast was
| split in her desperate struggle with
1stalena and Harpoon Saturday. 1t was
hoped that repairs might be made in
time to allow the Carolina to start in
the race this afternoon, but this was
found to be impossible.
Sally Ann Wins Hays Cup
Sally Ann, the property of Spencer
Borden jr., won the cup offered by Com
modore James E. Hayes for New York
Yacht Club 40-footers. Over the same
triangular course of thirty miles that
was travelled by the yachts in the
s. Duell's Rowdy by minutes 55 sec
onds. Five of the "forties" took part in
this event, Zilph failing to start be-
cause it was her owner who offered the
cup.
J.. S. Lawrence's Squaw finished third,
less than two minutes astern of Rowdy,
and Mistral, the property of w. H.
Bowes, was fourth. H. H. Raymond's
Monsoon was fifth.
The cup offered by ]. s. Lawrence for
the New York Yacht Club 3O-footers
was productive of only two starters, al
though there were a number of this
class anchored in Marblehead harbor
The fact that the "thirties' were sent
over the same thirty-mile course fol-
lowed by the others may have had
som ething to do with keeping down the
| entry list, as this is an unusually long
voyage for the smaller sloops. The
only starters in this event day were
Gheradi Davis's Alice and Ogden Reid's
Lena. Alice, sailed by Sherman Hoyt,
de4eated Lena by 6 minutes 10 seconds.
Lena lost considerable time by over
standing the second mark.
On corrected time Zilph, owned by
James E. Hayes, was the winner of
derbilt for any yachts of the New York
Corinthian, Eastern and boston Yacht
clubs not taking part in the Kings cup
race. DR.. c. B. Keeler's N sloop Alice
was second, one minute and two sec
| onds astern of Zilph, while Olympian,
local boat, was third. The starters
in te-day's events were allowed four
minute. period in which to 20 over the
line and their elapsed time was fig
ured from the crossing of each in
dividual boat. This eliminated much
of the sharp and spectacular maneuver-
ing that usually precedes an important
race.
Elected to Lead Fleet
In the Kings cup event Comm odore
Vanderbilt, who was at the wheel of
the Vagrant throughout the thirty mile
voyage, elected to lead the fleet over
the line. He took his schooner across
at 11:10:30, Istalena, sailed by Mr..
Alker. to whom she is under charter
was third, and W. Butler Duncan was
the fifth boat to cross the line, while
the Harpoon, which finished third on
corrected time, went over in fourth
place.
Ohonkara followed vagrant over and
was in the wake of the Vanderbilt
yacht practically throughout the race.
she was followed by Flying Cloud.
W1nsome was the sixth boat to oet
away and was followed by Irolita. Bar
para and Shawna, in the order named.
The line was between a buoy laid for
the occasion by the New York Yacht
Club tug Elmer A. Keeler and the COM
mittee boat Nourmahal, owned by Vim
cent Astor.
The first leg Of ten miles gave the
yachts a broad reach south by east to
the first mark, which they made with
booms swung to starboard. The second
leg, also of ten miles, gave them beat
northeast to another mark laid bv the
heeier. From there they had a reach
to the finish line.
Vagrant was the first yacht to reach
the first mark, which she rounded at
lZ:c9:10, Ohonkrara rounded at 12:1O:25
and Virginia at 12:14:45. Harpoon made
the turn at 12:19:50 and was footing
