Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1893-09-11

The Vigilant was on the starboard tack
and well to the windward. The Jubilee and
Pilgrim did not get of in time to escape the
handicap, which it is figured out here would
amount to nearly three minutes. Colonia
went about on the port tack at IL AIS, fol-
lowed by Vigilant at I:47:1s, Jubilee went
on the port tack at IL so and was doing
some handsome sailing. The Jubilee was to
the leeward and was sailing so fast that
she would soon be in the lead. None OF the
boats were carrying topmasts.
Colonfa Ahead.
At II :55 the Colonia was ahead
At lilo Colonia went about on the star
board tack. At 12:Oo:0s vigilant followed
suit. At 1205 Vigilant and Colonia were
dropping to leeward. The Jubilee went out
on a starboard tack at 1905.
The Vigilant was being beautifully han
died and was eating her way up i'm the
wind. 1t was a fine race between Colonia
and Vigilant.

Racing numbers-Vigilant, 81; Colonia 81;
Jubilee. 81; Pilgrim, ia
At 200 Pilgrim went about. All the boats
had all they could stagger under Oc-
casionally the racers luffed up, as an extra
strong flaw struck them. but they were all
standing well up to il.
At 12:1s30 Colonia went to the leeward of
the Sandy Hook lightship.
the Sandy Hook lightship at 12:22:5o. leav-
Ing 1t on the port about half a mile distant.
The racers then headed straight In for
Rockaway Beach. vigilant went into stays
and tackled at 12:2e:SO heading southeast.
At 12:Sl Vigilant crossed the bow OF the
Pilgrim about two miles to the windward.
At II :33 the Vigilant apparently crossed the
bow of the Jubilee. At 1924 Vigilant stood
on on the starboard tack. Again they were
all on the starboard tack
The excursion boats were sticking to the
Vigilant, which was supposed here to mean
that she was expected to round the stake
boat first.
The Colonia was sailing by herself Co
lonia tackled ship at 12:42:4o standing on
the port tack and well over to the Rock
away shore
At 12:4s-J0 Colonia crossed the Pilgrims
bow. The Vigilant and Jubilee were then
apparently leading. The long leg made by
the Colonia did not seem TO do her any
good, she having stood too far in shore
At 12:o5 IL was estimated that the Jubf-
lee and Vigilant were at least a half mile
TO the windward of the others.
Coionia went about on the starboard
tack at 12:52. 10. and again they were all
about on the port tack at .0S and crossed
the stern Of the NiEfiant at 1:o4 80 At
los AZ Jubilee went astern of the ColonfA
Vigilant went into stays at Ill. going
ed Colonia's bow. At l:1545 Pilgrim round
ed on the port tack. followed by Colonia on
the same tack at 1:f9.58.
The ViGilant Appeared Ahead.
The Vigilant neared the stake boat at
L 30. and as near as can be Judged from
this point she is about one mile and a half
ahead Of the other yachts.
All were standing of on the port tack
They were now hull down In the distance
At l:8 the Vigflant and jubilee went on
the starboard tack, and II was thought they
would round the turning mark on this
board
The Colonia took the tack soon after the
Nigtlant. leaving the Pilgrim the only one
standing to port.
The wind still held steadily. and once
around the turning points the racers win
come to the finish with a rush. 1t was a
little smoky the horizon, but not
enough SO to cause much Inconvenience in
distinguishing the boats while they remain
above the horizon The Pilgrim was maxi
ing a long leg Of this tack.
At 2:11 80 the Jubilee went to the wind
ward OF the Vigilant, crossing the latter's
bow.
vfRflant Rounding the Stake.
At 2IO p. m. the Vigilant went on the
port tack and stood for the stake boat,
which she rounded at 2:12 p. m. She was
apparently leading by two miles
Another yacht, which was believed TO be
the Colonia, turned at 2:19.
25o p.m.-The third boat turned the stake
boat at 2:S pm, and the fourth at 24o
pm:
They are supposed to be the Jubilee ana
the Pilgrim respectively.
