THE PALMER THE WINNER.
The Cambria Wins the Second Prize,
Subscription Cup.
ACCIDENT TO THE sAPPHo
A Fine Contest Over the BrentOn's
Reef Course.

NEWPORT, r. l., Sept 9, 1870.
The race to-day FOL. the Vice Commodore's cup was
o splendid AFFAIR, resulting in victory for the
schooner yacht Palmer, the Cambria carrying on
the second prize But while every credit must be
given to the winners 1t s right to mention that the
honors were within the grasp Of the Ssppho. and
had 1t not been for unfortunate accldent-to w.t.
the loss OF her main tOpmast and peak sail yards
there ls but little doubt that she would have been
the successful contestant. Indeed her triumph was
confidently anticipated at the start, and the mshap
which occurred to her was regretted by all. Her
principal competitors nevertheless behaved noby,
and. everything considered, 1t was one OF
the finest regattas ever sailed In the vicinity
OF this harbor. Nothing was wanting to realize the
brightest expectations OF the yachtmen. so far as the
elements were concerned, and il must be admitted
that mos. OF the yachts were brought to capital
test.
THE COURSE.
As previously announced the course is q triangu-
lar onc-from Brenton's Reef Lightship to around
the buoy or Block Island, thence to the lghtshp Off
the Sow ana Pigs Rocks and return, o distance OF
over eighty miles. The race was sailed according
to the rules Of the New York Yacht Club In regard
TO canvas, but there was no allowance for difference
In size. It was generally understood that this was
to be race wherein the best qualities OF yachts
could be displayed and to that end careful and ex-
tensve preparations were made for the event.
Many vessels were named as the probable winner,
and hopes naturally entertained that very rast
time would De made. Among the yachts pr0mi.
nently mentioned were TIE SapphO, Phantom, Daunt-
less Ider Palmer, Cambria and others, and although
the chances for all were the same, 1t was supposed
that one Of the well known yachts would win the
cup. Neither the Magic nor the Dauntess entered,
but It Is understood that both Will participate on
Satul day.
THE PROSPECTS FOR THE RACE.
Betting was extensively INDUCED In last night In
the city, and the race awaited with the livecs
anticpations. The morning dawned, but the
breeze which had prevailed during the night
had somewhat decreased and at seven O'Clock
the prospect was not at all encouraging. Half
an hour afterwards tho smooth waters OF the
harbOr began TO ripple and towards eight
O'Clock welcome breeze from the southeast glad
dened the hearts OF the numbers who earnestly
looked forward to the result. One by one the con-
testants weighed anchor and cleared for the light
ship, whence the Start was 10 take place. The l0l.
