2Q THE HISTORY OF AMERICAN YACHTING. only the schooner Sybil and Cornelia came to the line and went over the course. The Sybil won, and the Cornelia captured the second prize. Evidently, owners were getting better acquainted with their boats and those opposed to them, and they do not seem to have relished defeat any more than their successors do now-a-days. There were no starters among the sloops, probably for the reason that as against the Maria and Una no vessel stood a chance, and it was labor lost, and money thrown away, to fit them for a race. Previous to this race of November 3, however, viz., October 31, 1848, there was a match between the sloops Una and Ultra over the club course. The Ultra was 65 tons, the Una but 39 ; and size told in those days as now, and the allowance of 17 minutes 15 seconds which the Una got was not enough for her. The Ultra, then owned by Mr. C. B. Miller, won by 15 minutes. Next year, 1849, there was no race until the regular June regatta, which occupied two days, June 5 and 7. On the first day the course was the regular one, but the second day the start was off Robbins' Reef, and the yachts went around the Sandy Hook lightship for the first time. The Maria came in ahead on the first day, but was disqualified on account of fouling the Ultra. On the second day the prizes were $50 for each Kj-et/.S.Co^eiAS ' *■ 86 HENRIETTA."
