The Yacht Race i'm Doubt.

THE INDICATIONS ARE, HOWEVER, THAT THE
NAYFLowER WAS TIRE WINNER.
The Newport yacht race OF Saturday was left
in doubt by the closeness of the finish. Com
modore Gerry yesterday gave the following as
the time of the finish OF each yacht: stranger,
S:o9:35: Cinderella, 9:I.:l5; Gtana. 9:5i:34;
Thetis, 9:5.:35; Galatea, lo:52:3o; Mayrower,
1o:52:io. Ii would seem from this that the
Galatea finished before the May flower, but such
was not the case. The commodore said the
Mayfower passed the lightship one length
ahead of the Galatea, and the discrepancy ia
time is due TO the difference Of time of watches
used on the different yachts. The commodore
said the regatta committee, which Is now la
New York, would have 10 decide which yacht
won.
Commodore Gerry on Saturday received a
dispatch from the Eastern Yacht club, saying
that the club offered three cups of $3.50 each
for schooners and first and second class soops.
TO be sailed tor ON Monday from Newport TO
Marblehead, aud asking him To take the time
OF the start there from the Electra.
