deferred would be finished TODAY,
The judges boat, the Luckenbsck, ar
rived at the starting point about 10
o'cleck, at which time the tide wss at
half Hood, running at full strength OF
isur miles an .hour. At 10 O'Clock,
while the Puritan was standing ON the
port tack over the Staten Island shore,
she hois,ed her j,b top sail In stops
resdy to break out, but the stops did
not happen 10 10 strong enough, for q
pun OF wind -csugat the canvass and
biew II out before II was wanted. The lib
top. sail had to be lowered and was
tnrled on the bowsprit. At 1906 the
Genesta, under msiusail and clubtop-
sail, and jib was running free up, the
bay, passing the Puritan to windward
the boats being about one eight OF u
mile apart. The State boat, colored
with flags from the end of her bow
spirit TO the top masthead and down
10 her beams end, anchored about 200
yards southwest OF buoy No. Is. The
Puritan. OF the starboard tack, headed
to the line in obedience TO the warn
ing signals. Tho Genesta at once
hauled hor wind to the same tack, and
set her stsr-sail. At 1880 =. m, the
Gsnesta and Puritan, after saliuu about
the bay for half an hour, In to net into
their position to the great admiration
Of their supporters, ranged side by side
of Owls Head, the Puritan to wind
ward, as usual. At this moment the
bar was alive with tugs and yachts,
snd the white sails were dazzling,
The starting signal was given at 1924,
and at once tho two boats began to
move through the water. The Puri.
tan, under all plain sail, was of iirst,
ann crossed the line little ahead OF
the Genssta. She seemed to move
little quicker at first, but then the
Genesta get breath OF wind, and ran
up to her rival. Both yachts stood on
snort tack to the Long Island
shore. Then the Genosta sud
donly whirled about for Staten Island.
Then, q few seconds later, the Puritan
went about In pursuit. The scene
presented by the yachts and steamer
AS they passed Sandy Hook was meta
bly, picturesque. Tho Puritan, with
every stitch OF canvass spread, led the
procession. Behind her came the
steamer with various colored flags
floating above their heads, and Inc
yachts with white sails. Tha Genosta
followed at some distance behind, un-
der full sail. She swept along with
hardly, il any, less grace than the
Puritan. The red caps OF her sailors
| made them plainly discernable on the
deck. The wind was blowing steadily
at the ratio of six miles per hour. The
Puritan appeared TO gain on her rival
after passing Sandy Hook she
had the whole lead hersel
and Captain Croker evidently meant
to see That she kept 1t. He steered
much closer to the wind than did Cap
tain Carter.
2:45 p. M,-Tho Puritan aud Genesis
are on the port tack. The Puritan
keeps h0r position to the windward. II
looks as though the Puritan went tot
far to the windward in rounding the
| light ship, and consequently lost con
siderable ground. Tho Genesta II
overhaullng her rival moro rapidly
than ON the outward course. Bott
yachts are doing good work. The flee
OF steamers and yatchs are all home
ward bound.
