The cyclone which was off the Bahamas on
Wednesday struck in toward Florida yester-
day and was rapidly making its way up the
| coast last night. II Indications 20 for any

she ought to give the ViRilant a very good
race. As q matter Of fact. the Dunraven
cutter always showed UP best in light
| breezes in her races on the other
| side. and whenever there was q strong breeze
the Britannia or sntanita beat her. Ever
since che arrived here a number OF persons
have cracked her UP as heavy weather boat.
| Just on what grounds 1t is hard to say. as any
| one who saw her In the second race knows
| that barring accidents. the vigilant would
| lose her in beat to windward under housed
| topmasts.
At the Weather Bureau last night It was said
| that the influence OF the storm was already
being felt In this neighborhood. That the
| northerly edge Of the disturbance was of Nor
| folk, Va. at 8 o'clock. and the wind there was
blowing at about twenty knots per hour
and increasing rapidly. Travelling at this
! rate. its upper edge should reach hero be-
fore noon to-day. There is no doubt in tho
minds Of the local weather experts that the
yachts will have rafting breeze TO-DAY.
