Races of the ssm Uitimo.

The sailing Of the two large sloops
was nearly as equal as could be. The
distance of the Priscilla behind the
Puritan at the finish was about thai
which the Priscilla voluntarily placed
between them in passing through the
Narrows. The victory was only few
seconds in nearly forty miles. The
He,uM maintains that the Priscilla is a
better boat with quartering wind. In
smart breeze abaft the beam, with
all her hying-kites pulling, she can
beat any clipper this side of the At
lantic, including the Puritan, but in a
dead beat to windward in strong gales
or gentle breezes she must yield to the
Puritan.
The SIN asks. Has anybody found
out yet what the GenestaS strong points
are2 She is a dangerous looking craft
and has been getting on some extra
canvass lately to be ready to make the
most of however little wind she gets.
Her people seem to be keeping their
own counsel pretty we'll about what
she can do.
The decision of the committee
whether the Puritan or PrsaXa shall
contest with her, will be announced
September Ist. The first of the races
for the uAmerica's Cup will be sailed
on the 9TH, twenty miles to windward
and back.

INTERNATIONAL rACHTISa AND
BOATING.



OF the forthcoming contest for the
possession of the Americas cup, the
New York HeyaM of August 10th says /:
The British cutter Cenesfa on the
cruise graced the fleet with her presence
when it was at anchor in port, but the
challenger for the Americas cup is still
a "dark horse" of the deepest hue, and
will remain so, no doubt, until she
crosses the line in competition tor the
cup on the 9TH, 9th and nth of Sep
tember. Some yachtsmen, who have
seen her under sail, think she is moth
ing wonderful, and are inclined to
belittle her when making comparisons
between her and the big "sloops." They
quote also the comparative performances
Of the smaller cutters which have been
sailing against our sloops and de-
duce therefrom certain defeat for the
Genesfa. If the superiority of the small
sloops over the small cutters in point Of
speed and ability be granted-which it
is not, on the part of many intelligent
yachtsmen--it does not follow, in the
philosophy of yacht designing or that
portion of it which refers to the resist
ance OF vessels, that such superiority
should exist Pre- rata among those cut
tiers and sloops which are larger. 1t
has been bad season, SO far, for cut
ters, but notwithstanding this it will
not do to underrate such craft as the
Genestd, many shrewd yachtsmen think,
even should she be opposed to such a
! flyer as the Pntifan is thought to be.
The big "sloops" are superior to any
yachts we have, some people say, and
which, no doubt, is true. Their per
formances on the cruise have shown
them to be, in point of speed, much
faster than smaller "single stickers,' OF
the schooners of similar size. But, as
an old yachtsman said to a Herald re-
porter yesterday, 'their sailing is moth
ing wonderful. 1t has only demon
strated the power that lies in vessels
rig.
Sloops or cutters can always outsail
schooners, and if these big sloops were
engaged as catboats they would go
much faster than they do now. The
Genesta spreads as much canvas pro
portionate to her length as they do, or
within small fraction of it, and she
spreads great deal more in proportion
to her beam. Either the Puritan or the
Priscilla will have all she can do, |
think, to outsail, in any weather what
ever, craft like her, that slipped across
the Atlantic Ocean under jury rig in
twenty-five days, and did not crack the
varnish on her sides"
Daily Honolulu press. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1886, 1885-09-12

one mile astern of the white sloop
when, at 4:i2;o7, she passed the light
ship The tug gained only half mile
on her in a ao-mile run from the red
flag The big, shining, black-hulled
boat finished at 4:az;o7, just o;sS minu-
tes behind the Puritan.
The Herald says The Puritan will
unquestionably prove competitor
worthy the crack English cutter. The
result of the match is most encouraging
1t shows that both the Puritan and the
Priscilla are probably the fastest boats
in our catching feet. The signal de-
feat of the Oracle, which divided with the
Mischief the honor of being the clipper
craft of the New York Yacht Club, in
dicates vast improvement in both mo-
del and sail plans. There are two
more contests to take place, in which
the four yachts that raced yesterday
will compete. After these are through
the Trial Of Speed Committee will
choose the yacht which, according to
their judgment is the best qualified
to sail against the Genesta.

The S. +. Bnilehn's New York dis
patches give the following account of
races on August 2Ist:
All accounts agree that it was mag
nifcent contest A twenty-mie beat
dead to windward and run home be-
fore the wind. The wind was strong
and the sea exceedingly rough. The
Puritan showed the same superiority
over the Priscilla for windward work
that she first manifested, in the race for
the Goelet cup. Both boats crossed
the line at the same time, but the Pris-
ella took the lead at once and thrice
winded the Puritan in crossing tracks.
