Terrible Weather Encountered and Several
of Her Crew Disabled.
New York, Sept. 24.-The English cut
ter Genesta yesterday won Brenton's reef
challenge cup, by beating the American
schooner Dauntless in a 300-mile race from
Sandy Hook light-ship to Brenton's reef
light-ship and return Time-4S :O7:5O.
The outward run was entirely unevent-
full, with light winds. The Genesta
rounded Brenton's reef light-ship, having
accomplished half OF the journey, at 9:39
Tuesday night, and started on the return in
q heavy fog at 1880. When twenty miles
on the honeward journey the DauntIeSs
was sighted, and was, therefore, forty
mile behind. A stiff gale in the meantime
sprung up, and the Dauntless lost the head
OF her main topsail. .es as.r1 g
About midnight a yeTitable cyclone set in,
and the Englishman had all the wind he
wanted. One after another he had to take
In sails. At $50 in the morning she stood
about on starhoard tack, midway between
Montauk Point and Shinnecock lighthouse.
The sea was running high, and the greater
part OF the time the cutter was all UNI
der water save her weather-euarter, to
which the crew chung every time she
shipped a wave. Sir Richard Sutton and
his guests prudently remained below, and
the crew appeared to be almost worn out
with cold and fatigue Several of them
We're seriously injured by being flung upon
the deck, and two narrowly escaped drown
ing. The Gentsta rounded the Sandy Hook
lIght-ship at 5:19:40. Her actual time was
4S:07:05; her official time, 4S:19:40.
The Dauntless was not seen after she was
discerned off Block Island, and it is sup
posed she gave up the race and entered
Newport, in consequence of the storm
which was raging. The Genesta was adj
mirably handled throughout the race, and
has proved her virtues in a heavy sea.
