 NEW YORK, Sept. 11.-There was g. stiff breeze from the northwest this morning when the racing committee of the New York | Yacht club and others who were privileged
 boarded the tug Luckenbach. Everything ! looked like @ race. A heavy choppy sea
 made some of the land lubbers quail for fear 1 of sea sickness. There was a good deal of l that on board the numerous excursion boats | and tugs. The Luckenbach started down l the bay at S:15. She stopped for moment | at Tompkinsville to take aboard MT. Louis l Bayard of the regatta committee and one or l two other gentlemen. As she left the dock l there the Puritan was seen under way head 1 ing for the starting point. The Genesta also was sailing in the same direction with two | jibs and mainsail set. The Luckenbach hauled up alongside of her and exchanged 8 | number of passengers. At 9:O7 she took the Genesta in tow. There not much need of that, however, as the tow line was slack most all the time. In the splendid breeze
 
 soon she began to do so we'll that off the Roner beacon the aid of the tug was deemed unnecessary and the hawser was cast off. The Genesta made preparations to set her working topsail. Further down the | bay the Puritan hurried along under jib, stay sail and mainsail. The Luckenbach ran up | alongside the tug Scandinavia which carried l the turning raft and gave her instructions about where to anchor it. The Scandinavia l took aboard Mr. Lippincott and MT. Oelsen of the New York Yacht club. The wind was strong from the east and in the choppy sea the yachts and small craft which crowd ed the Horseshoe bobbed up and down pret- tily and serenely. At 11:05 off Sandy Hook point Captain Joe Ellsworth and Messrs Forbes and Burgess, who went down the bay on the Luckenbach, were put aboard the Puritan. Then the tug headed for the light ship and people became expectant. She an- chored about a quarter of mile east of the lightship and at 11:15 signalled the two yachts, which were bearing away to sea, to get ready and they put about and came back to the starting line. The course was to be east by north.
 
 as ths preparatory signal was blown at 11:30. They crossed the imaginary line between the l judges boat and the lightship on the port tack the Puritan at II :35:41, and the Genes ta at il :35:4S, the Puritan to the windward. They were about eighth of mile apart. The Puritan passed along close to the tugs. She keeled over and all that could be seen of her crew was their heads The Genestas new bowsprit dipped into the water in the heavy sea- but she danced along like thing nyI- .S-k oI, Al,> same as on Monday. She worked to wind ward well, but did not leave her rival far behind as the enthusiastic yachtsmen wanted her to. They saw the Englishmen not only holding their idol, but gaining g l little and for a time on this tack there was less hilarity and cheering and boasting. At 12:4O the Genesta went about and crossed to the windward of the Puritan and having se- cured this coveted position she returned to the port tack. The Puritan kept straight ahead, pointing up close to the wind and though the Englishman was ahead and appar sntly gaining, the admirers of the Bostonian never lost faith in her. They prayed for more wind but in vain. Tine breeze was seen to be sleckening, though the Puritan | had more of it than the Genesta. At 1:10 1 the Genesta went about on the long port tack, heading about southeast. Twenty sec 1 onds later the Puritan followed. The Genes l ta took in her working topsail and set l her clubtopsail and the Puritan
 did the same thing an instant afterwa1d. The Puritan was the lee bow l of the Genesta and about mile ahead. She | had more wind than the other and she glad | dened the hearts Of her supporters by the l way she plunged ahead. This was long l stretch and the Puritan did nobly. But the ! wind was dying out and her speediness was | to avail her little. It became apparent l that there was to be. another
 day lost. The yachts made several stretches at ba Pl1rit and headed for the turning raft. The Gen. esta was then about two miles in the rear. l The wind died out almost completely and l MT. Tams told the captain of the tug to go 1 close to the Scandinavia. Then he shouted l through the trumpet to MT. Oelsen that when l the flag on the Luckenbach was lowered it l would mean that there was no race; and he directed the Scandinavia to take 1 the Puritan in tow. There were a number of excursion boats and l steam yachts around the raft. l Their passengers cheered Justify and whistles were blown and guns fired when at 5:37:56 l the Puritan rounded the raft. She ran out 1 her spinnaker boom and squared away for l home. Five minutes later the flag on the 1 Luckenbach was lowered and the Scandina- via ran up to the Puritan and threw her l line. The Genesta did not turn the raft. Her 1 captain saw there could be no race with | such an ungrateful wind and put about. | The Luckenback ran alongside of her. Sir ] Richard Sutton shouted to MT. Tams that it | was too bad and he hoped for better luck next time. A long hawser was thrown out 1 and the Luckenbach started for Sandy Hook with the Genesta in tow. Both yachts an- l chored in Horseshoe bay. Another attempt
 to make twenty miles to windward and re- l turn will be made tomorrow.
 l SANDY Hook, N. J., Sept. 1.-The Horse | shoe tonight is the rendezvous of 8 large | number of sailing and steam yachts whose I 1llnmlnA dIractlOn l captain of the Sea Foam, a large schooner l yacht, said that while the Genesta sailed
 better than the Puritan on the starboard tack,
 the latter did better than the Genesta on the
 port. Neither,, however, did re,
 tha PGritan "s was the the faster ase boat boaa | under all circumstances. The Genesta's l people were found on board the English boat l anchored near the Sea Foam and said the Pu-
 ritan was about quarter of mile ahead 1 when they saw it was useless to attempt to l round the buoy or make a finish, though the l Puritan had rounded the buoy. The race is l ordered for 1O:30 tomorrow morning, but the | Englishmen feared there was little prospect l of good wind. At 10 o'clock tonight there l is dead calm and weatherwise people here ! predict about the same wind for to morrow l as prevailed to-day.
 | Rancher Killed by Apaches. l SANTA FE, N. M., Sept. 11.-Nine Apache 1 bucks and eleven squaws passed northward
 near Hillsboro yesterday on their way toward 1 the San Carlos reservation near Lake Valley. l They stole sixteen horses and killed the
 owner who attempted to prevent the capture
 of the animals. A portion of the Eighth
 cavalry is following this band closely with | good prospects of oyertaking them. No l other murders have been reported. F. |
