In the event for 14-footers, the following started:—Gil Blas(7min.), Marguerite (scr.), Miro (2min.), Ruiia (scr.), The sea was somewhat choppy, but all went well until tho Miro and Runa, the leading yachts, rounded the distance-buoy, when by some- means tho latter capsized. Immediately the rest camo to her assistance, and righted and towed her to tho island, whero she was eventually fixed up.
