The Yacht Enchantress passed the
light ship here at twelve minutes
past O'Clock this morning, and won.

dead heat all the way back. In
the afternoon yesterday there were
light airs for considerable time,

ing Cape May light house. The
Enchantress about four o'clock yes

shipped n tremendous sea which
carried away her bObstay and en-

felt in the result has in no way
abated. Delay in arriving was
caused by strong Northeast wind
blowing this morning.
