The Ayaiea was to enter in the schooner class hut
net with misfortune at an early hour In inc horin-
while at anchor in the harbor a clumsy Cousins
schooner loaded with wood, swung into the yacht anu
broke OF her fore topmast At 1890 the maj gun
was fred and the brl-liie craft came swiftly 'o"a'u
the line The Volunteer felt a liiue sting over her
defeat Icy the Puritan yesterday and was salled io'
everything that in her to-day from the De2hhlns'
She was the first TO the line and was foNo"eu Dy
,b. Mav1ower one minute behind The latter was
Tanned by the Miranda only two seconds behind, ana
leading tho schooners. Then came in this order tho
Sea Fox sachcm, Palmer Montauk. Puritan Irouoa-

logan 10 leave behind them everything that hoated
cvce,t the sneady steamers The big sloops carried
All their sail excepting spinnalers and cub-toISaiis
While OF the schooners the Elma was the onN one
carrying her pnnacr and she dragged 1t In tho prime
so that it did her more harm than goo'- oh I"''S
Hunk Light the feet had the wind free a5eam ana ih'
Volunteer lead her nearest competitor the Mayho"er
thice-quartels of mile. The Sea Fox was thra Cd
the weather quarter of the Mayfowcr. and the Puritan
rasscd Cangeld's schooner Immediately opposite the
light. The Palmer doomed up TO the foie' win Inc
Sachcm ana Katrina close behind.
AT noon the Volunteer had lost quarter OF a mile
of her lead the Palmer being second with the Puritan
only two lengths astern The Sea Fox was on the
weather quarter of The Puritan, and The Mayfower on
her antagonists Ice quarter The Sachcm at this time
was in the Puntan's wake and half mile astcrh'
From Ills time the north northeast eghi-knot breeze
which had been blowing died away rapidly ana TWO
miles west of West Lynn the whole fleet bocalmcd
At halfpast lo there came a little whif o! air from
the southwest and the Puritan took advantage OF II
by standing OIL shore ard taking in all dsail, and
setting her balloon iib-topsal. The Mayhower, Sea
Fox and Miranda followed suit, while the Volunteer
and Palmer stuck to their course, and the Volunteer
only had two head-sas set them bat at quarter Of
she up her balloon iibopsail and went on the
port tack with good lead. ~ o'clock the Puritan
dropped her splnnahcr boom and spread her sheet
and the Mayhower at once did likewise. At oclocl
the order Of the race, which hardly deserved that
name, was as follows: Volunteer, Sacheil, RAINIER
Sea Fox, Puritan, MayHower, Grayling, Katrina II
practically this order the drcd 10 the bright
red ghtship at Cow and Pigs Rocks.
The wind still southwest but freshencd W
rapidly and the vessels hauled upon thu
wind they dropped their lazy ways and started away
with renewed yigor. The run 10 the Hens and Chick
ems Ljghtship made In quick time For one tai
tho ssc hem led the Volunteer and then the pild
Of America picked up her heels and started for home
Tho Electra steamed ahead and anchored for tn
fnisb which beautiful one, though night close
q, bofole all the yachts were timed The Noluntee
swent over the line, almost dipping her sail, an
Seemed proud of this additional achievement tn
