CAPE ISLAND. New Jersey. july s.
The yachts started from the United States
steamer Pinto, which was anchored about
mile from the beach, in front of the Stockton
Hotel, which had on board the regatta com
mittee and invited guests. The judges are
r. r. Owen, of United States navy, General
E. Burd Grubb, of New York, and Charles
Macalister, of Philadelphia: The steam
yacht Mischief came up followed by the
Sappho, Wanderer. Dauntless, Columbia
and the others. On the signal being fired
from gun from the Pinto the yachts got
off in good shape. The wind being due
southwest, the Dauntless, Sappho and
Columbia Immediately took the lead on
fair start
The course as laid out is triangular, going
easterly first to the light ship, thence north
ward to and around the buoy directly
southwark to point of starting. Distance
thirty-five miles-considered four hours
sailing, with good wind.
The contest will continue during the en-
tire day. No conjecture can be formed
! definitely as to the result, both the Colum-
bia and Vindex being the greatest favorites-.
| Yet there appears TO be little or no betting
I The wind was light, and at the starting
a drifting race was anticipated. Great IN
terest has been manifested in this race The
| Vesper, not coming up for the start in time
has been ruled out OF the regatta.

| The following are the incidents of yester-
| davis steeplechase: The horses started even,
| taking the first three hurdles. Julius bolted
| and threw his rider. After going splendidly
for mile and half, the rider of Tammany
| was thrown of, and the race was between
Duffy and Oysterman, with r. r. Connolly
ten lengths behind. AS Duffy was taking
| the last hurdle the horse struck the fence
and turned completely out of the field. In
falling, the horse ran a fence pole between
her shoulders, and bled to death in few
minutes. Oysterman won the race, beating
! Vesuvius ten lengths. Time, eight minutes,
nine seconds.
