Off Oyster Bay, L. I., British and U. S. yachtsmen ran up the sails of their two quartets of 6-meter yachts, thrashed up and down Long Island Sound practicing for the International Races to be held there under the auspices of the Seawanhaka Corinthian Yacht Club beginning Sept. 6.
Across the Sound and westward, eleven smaller yachts (15 ft. 6 in. at the waterline) stretched away in a series of five International Star Class Races. Their host for the first race was the Larchmont Yacht Club.
