.SAIELAST OPEN RACE
ON SOUND THIS YEAR
Monsoon Wins in 40 Foot
Class in Manhasset Bay
Regatta.
ny ARTHUR Il. ALDRIDGE.

The Manhasset Bay Yacht Club
closed the open racing season on Long
Island Sound with its fall regatta. 1t
was also the last race in which points
counted for the Championships. At sun
down the club went out of commission,
that is ii hauled down its flag, but the
house Is kept open all the winter.
1t was light weather day, the wind
being very fitful at the start of the
races, but later 10 freshened and brought
the yachts home in time to make a race
IN each class. Herbert Il. l.. Funke
is chairman OF the race committee. but
every other committeeman deserted in
order to take part in a race. The chair
man impressed w. =. Stephens into
service, and while the races were In
progress f. ID. NJ. Strachan boarded the
power yacht Klahanec. from which boat
the races were started. He assisted in
timing the finishes calling each yacht
as 1t crossed the line. Mr.. Strachan
could not sail his own yacht Monsoon
because he had seen his son. who has
entered Oxford University. off on the
olympic. Mr.. Strachan had the
pleasure Of seeing Monsoon win a good
race.
There was a postponement at the time
for the start because of lack of wind
and the yachts We're sent away fifteen

time limit on tho race was at $3.50
o'clock. but Chairman Funke decided to
take the finishes of ali yachts. He said
as far as his club was concerned 1t was
race in each class but whether the
Long Island Sound Association would
allow the points to count in classes
where the time limit had been exceeded
was another matter. MIR. Funke
thought that as the time of the race
had been shortened because of the post
porement at the start 1t would be a
disappointment to call 1t no race after
the yachtsmen had taken so long to sail
the courses and had reached SO near
the finishing line when the time expired.
When the yachts were sent away the
wind was very light from east to west.
They were sent over triangular courses.
