The Valkyrie was beaten in her very first
race. 1t happened yesterday in English
waters. r she covered the winning line
ahead of all competitions, but the time allow
ance gave the race to another yacht. OF
course the conditions of wind and SEQ may
have been favorable to the near yacht, so
her capabilities cannot be adequately esti-
mated by her performance yesterday. Her
showing in other races when different
weather conditions prevail will afford some
criterion of what her real powers are.

Harry Hogan writes to THE EVENING
WORLD regarding the matter Of =" Dyes" sug-
costing that the loser IN the preliminary
heat get another chance to prove his
ability by meeting, after an adequate
rest, the CO competitor who draws the bye.
and if he wins that he again meet the man
who beat him frs, the first heat of the three
to be held during the preliminaries, Mr..
Hogan's argument is very good. He says
that = the loser of the preliminary heat would
give a harder fight TO his opponent than a
man who is often HIS opponents teacher or
personal friend. and that q man who is beaten
in the preliminary heat is very often a better
boxer than the lucky individual who draws
the bye"
