TIE START.
The start was made in the following or

I COlOnia, l2-2l:l0 The COlOnia had put
up her balloon fore staysail and taken in
I her iib sails, while the Vigilant set her
baby ID topsail and working staysail
with the Jubilee. The Jubilee wore
similar suit. substituting a full-hedged
topsail for the baby. The breeze of
shore had shifted to the west of
south and was a trifte steadier.
About quarter Of l O'Clock
the Vigilaut followed the COlOnia's Elk
ample and set a fore staysail with a
working sJdysail instead of jiD and iib
topSail The Jubilee soon lufed out a
little to the weather and left the Here
schof boats to fight battle among them
selves, while she devoted her energies to
getting over the course
About l2:45 the Colonia seemed to be
pointing higher, but Vigilant was surely
making better progress, and probably the
Colonia was being pinched a bit too close
for speed; within fifteen minutes the Wig
liant passed her Just to windward. For
nearly a quarter of an hour she kept the
Rogers boat close under lee, but gradually
drawing away from her all the time.
THE vIGILANT IN THE ADVANCE.
About 20 all the boats headed around
more to east, and the ColOnia seemed to
be favored by the tactic, but the Vigilant
was so much more to windward that she
could Still maintain her lead.
AT IL 80 the wind shifted more to the
southwark and helped them little more
The Jubilee, which was half
went about and stood off close
hauled to the wind. The Vigilant
followed within a few minutes. The
ColoRia set her jib in addition to the
other sails and held on eastward until
/ 40, when she, too, went about, The Wig
liant held on to the south until 1854,
when she stood off to the east again. AT
2 the Colonia followed suit.
Jubilee went about at 2:02, and all were
standing Off to the east on the starboard
tack. The Colonia was farthest to the east,
but the Vigilant seemed to be sufficiently
TO Windward to make 1t possible for her to
fetch to the mark without another hitch,
while the Colonia seemed to need another
tack to take her out to fetching posi-
ton.
TIE yIGILANT HOLDING Der LEAD.
At 40 Vigilant was still leading by
over a minute, while the Colonia seemed
to be hopelessly out of it--a quarter of an
hour asteru. At sos the wind veered to
the eastward, and all hope for a finish
within the time limit vanished. The
boats were nearing the finish line, the
Vigilant in the lead, and the failure to
make a decisive race is heartrending to
the participants. Following is the
summary of to-day's race: Lapsed time
Nigilant, 6:l0: 100 Jubilee, 6:11 Al Colouia,
