Yachts

P:Long Island Sound was studded, as always on fair summer days, with jaunty white sails. Of these sails, many were spread over contestants in international races.

Off Port Washington, L. I., Little Bear of the Western Long Island Sound Fleet, heeling rakishly before one of the worst blows of the season, thrashed home second in the last of six matches she had contested with Star Class boats of seven other fleets. This performance brought Little Bear's point total to 44, made her winner of the International Star Class championship trophy which she was defending for her fleet. Rhody, of the Narragansett Bay Fleet, placed second with 42 points. P:Off Oyster Bay, L. I., a strong northwest breeze flapped the pennants and bunting of many anchored yachts, bellied the canvas of eight British and American six-metre craft competing for the International six-metre Challenge Cup.

In the first race of a five-race series, Betty, of England, danced across the finish a couple of minutes ahead of Paumonok, of the U. S. Zenith, of England, took a good third. Point total of first race: England 19 1/4, U. S. 17.
