The result Of the international yacht
race caused intense excitement in New
York. The universal feeling is that
the relative speed of the yachts is as
vet undecided When the rumor was
spread early on Wednesday afternoon
that the Dauntless was the winner, eX-
pressions of jubilation were unbounded
and the revulsion was comparatively
great when it was learned that the
English Yacht was victorious. The
betting on each was very heavy, espe-
cially on Wall street and among the
guests of the Fifth Avenue Hotel.
The number of persons who invested
their money on the American Yacht
was very large. The impression is
prevalent that the sailing master of the
Dauntless took a less favorable course
than the Cambria adopted.
