Six Sail and Six Power Craft

Mile Brush.

Six sail and six powerboats started
In the annual Block Island races Of
the New York Athletic Club yester-
day. The sail driven craft were tho
first to get away on their long 100-mile
brush. The starting line was off the
eastern end Of Huckleberry Island and
when tho committee made up Of Walter
8. Sullivan. chairman. Charles e. Lau-
ten and Alfred d. Fettrecht. on board
r. T. Fowler's Minerva. established the
line the wind was light and from the
south-southwest and heat haze was
hanging over the water.
! The wind freshened to about five
knots shortly before the starting hour,
which was II A. NJ. Eastern STANDARD
time. Regardless of the light breeze
the little craft made pretty start, all
on the starboard tack. The first over
the line was Heddy. the property Of
A. D. Seymour, Jr. Then came Betty.
which belongs to G. w. Ford and Dr.
H. L. Foss. The third was P. c. Pfeif-
fer's Amoret
Oswald ]. Karsch's Feu-Follet was
the next to slip by the committee Then
came Daniel Bacon's Solita and Gum
dred. the property Of T. D. and X p.
Gregg. The last named craft was post
entry. As the yachts moved slowly 10
the eastward Heddy and Betty ap-
peared to be slipping away from the
balance of the fleet.
One hour later the power boats were
sent away on their voyage. With the
exception of H. @. Stoehr's Tarpon H.,
which did not report. and Uthena. the
property Of DIR. c. N. Platt. which broke
her clutch shortly before the start. all
Of the entries got away under weather
conditions that were ideal for motorboat
racing.
The start was by no means as good
as that made by the sailing craft. not a
single boat crossing on the gun. The
first to chug by the committee was
Roche. Then came Old Glory w.. which
belongs to George p p. Bonnell. Nandu.
owned by T. w. Bringham and ]. w.
Hussey, was the next across the line.

in the Atlantic City and return race last
week, was the fourth across the line.

to start. Then came Ebb Tide H.. which
belongs to A. r. Masury.
