Leaden skies, but faint winds greeted
fleet Of IS craft racing the opening
heats of the ninth annual regatta of

caused a half hour postponement, but
In no way dampened the ardor of skip
pers who came from the Eastern
Shore, Annapolis, Baltimore, Washing
ton, Richmond and Alexandria.
Feature event of the day, the 30
foot open race, was taken by the Wings
OF Carroll Smith from Galesville, Md.
after close race against the Strut
Away, sailed by Dick Hartge, another
local sailor and Vanity of Osbourn
Owings from Washington.

restricted class when the Cricket I'd
sailed by H. c. Bush of Alexandria,
Va, led the spray of Herbert Nelly of
Baltimore by 13 seconds, with Kan
Doc OF Albert Pagan, Washington
physician. following 8 seconds later
William White, in his Frolic, from
washington, administered a smashing
defeat to comet champions from the
District in leading by more than 5
minutes Werner Smythe's Sassy Too
