The Second Heat and the Race Handsome
ly Won by Boston's Bcauty-A Windy
start with IA LulIing Breeze to lin
ish-victory by 20 Minutes.

New YORK, Sept 11.-Yesterday' race
between the Galatea and the Mayilower
resulted in IA glorious victory for the lat
ter. When she finished the Galatea was
nearly three and Il half miles astern. The
course was 20 miles to leeWard and re
turn from Scotland lightship. The race
was sailed in Il breeze that blew fresh
from the northwest for three hours and
then canting two points to the eastward,
fell light aud the last hour of the contest
was little more than drift. The Mayflower
had only SIN. and POS. to spare when she
crossed the finish line on the time limit of
seven hours. The Galatea was defeated
on every point of sailing. In the run out
to he outer mark, she was beaten l3m.
and 45s. and in the windward work over
half an hour. There was great rejoicing
among New York yachtsmen last night
while Bostonians were fairly wild with
delight.
The Mayflower thus wins two ont of the
three trial races and the cup will stay an
other year on this side the Atlantic. The
