Ocean racing for both sail and power boats will be one of the big features of Ibe coming season in yachting circles of New York. No less than seven of these long dlaloce events have already been arranged, with two ol them for trips to Cape

May.

Tbe fact that a number of entries Save been received at this early date indicates the grow.ng popularity of these competitions for seaworthy boats n most of these races the starters may exceed the number that took part a year ago. Four of the ocean are for sailing yachts and three for motor craft, but only the sailing races will be bad to Cape May. The first one of three will be held on luly 4, for the Lipton Cup, under the auspices of the Brooklyn Yacht Club, ng to Cape May, and going back around Fire Island, a distance of 325 nautical miles. The second one will be to August, for the Brooklyn Yacht Club's cup, around Montaux Point and down to Cape May Lightship and return. This is the third year the race has oeen held, the Brooklyn Yacht Club illering tbe cup two years ago, and it * the first time that the start of the race will be made outside of New York vaters. It was owing to this fact that the Brooklyn Yacht < 'lub arranged he Cape May race for the Lipton .rophy, for which ten entries have oeen received, and as the lists do not lose until June 16, the chancre are .hat the Upton cup contest will be me of the best ocean events - of the

year.
