lhhAtlS NHlGl CslIlt NGEN utAT Us several times, but that had no effect ou the race, only we thought it was very bad taste At the finish several steamers that were to leeward when the Nigilaut passed the line crossed over to windward just before we finished But those saucy tugboats both cred Us somewhat at the start"
 Have you heard whether or not Lord Dunraven intends to try for the cup again in case the Nalkyrie is beaten on Wcdncs- day."
 I'm sure don't know. haven heard %
 What tho EngIIshmcn Said.
 How does Lord Dunraven take his dc feat
 Lord Dunraven is a true sport Sman. He feels all right"
 Mir. Ratsey, sailmakcr of the Nalkyric, when asked what he thought of the race, said:
 "It was perfectly fair and square The breeze was q good deal like what we usual ly have in summer time in England.
 Do you think you could beat the Nigi- lant in a stronger breeze"
 No, don't think we could, bccausv she is very fast in reaching as well as on the wind"
 Mir. C. Oliver Iselin, part owner of th, Nigilant, said of the race:
 "The result: Why, that tells the tale, and Mir. lselin pointed to the official time card which he held in his hand. Its a good result Don't you think so:''
 It was Great Britain's day so far ae weather for u yacht race was concerned. and Lord Dunraven and all the crew of tn, rakish black cutter were happy when they went down the bay in the morning
 C. Oliver Isclin and the gallant crew ri the white cup defender were the happy ones when the yachts came back in the aft ernoon. They led a triumphal procession of yachts and excursion craft up the har- bor, for the NiEilant had added another victory to her score. She had walked away from the Nalkyric in wind that toppcd the seas with foam and drove clouds ot spray over her weather bow.
 The day was an ideal one for an out sid, race The air was clear as crystal l. had the vigorous freshness of October i'll if. and every old salt who suitTel 1t in the curly morning predicted a blowing day
 Lord Dunravcn's Daughter Aboard.
 The Nalkyric arrived at the sandy Hook lightsLip an hour before the time of start ing. On board the Nulkyrie were Lord Dunraven, Lord Wolverton and one Oi Lord Duuraven' s duESnt in blue yacht. ing suit, trimmed with yellow ut the neck She seemed 10 be perfectly at home on the deck, and when there was any unusual ac tivity she stood in the companion way.

 Before the start the excursion boats and m nsSa,l n the liGhtship and one around the May At the request of the skipper of the Niyilant all of the boats around the lightship moved over to the other side of the course, So that the yachts could work up the line close un. der the lee of the lightship without their wind being broken The fleet made a great show on the water. The decks of the iron steambcats and river craft were black with people. All eyes were on the two yachts, which, bending gracefully in the wind and keeping well together, sailed ill short reaches back and forth iust to w!ndwarl of the line. 1hc NiSilant showed her T bin broa-o bottom as she hocled over and I bow!eG along the sr.GS occasionally dash. < ing spray over her white lackuted crew The Nalkyrie did not heel quite 50 much but she showed some ot Ter copper below the water line.
 Valkyric Led For Awhile.
 The wind was blowing 2I miles an hou, when both boats went over the line within two seconds of each other. The Nigilant led by the length of her bowsprit. They made pretty start ns they started on beat to windwRrd of lu miles to the first mark, which was of north Long Branch and so close iushore that n good view oi the racing yachts was obtained from Sea ! bright, Monmouth Beach and Long Branch i As on Saturday, the Nalkyrie forged ahead i at the start, She was not running quite n. ! close to the wind as the white Sloop. but 1 she was going faster. In 10 minutes tho 1 Nalkyrie led by four lengths, but the Wig 1 liant was tritie to windwarl The Val kyrie increased her lead to 10 lengths al the end of the first half hour, and ther while the Englishmen on the steamboat. ! were hugGing themselves with jOv th, ! Nlgllant began to cut down the open wa ter between her bow and the Nalkvrie'. stern
 She walked right up and took the lead and the race was procession from tha point. The cup defender gained minute. and 45 seconds in the first 10 miles, tackinL ! to windward; minutes and l2 seconds ii the second To mile run, and 8 minutes ant 26 st'Snds in the last 10 Omiles Shecrosset the line ahead of the Nalkyrie F minute. and 23 seconds, actual time and, deduct Ing the time allowance of 1 minute and 4, seconds, she won by lO minutes and B ! seconds.
 The steam whistles of all the craft tha could keep the pace set by the white slooI greeted her, and the people on the deck yelled themselves huarse. The Nalkvri, was over two miles aStern when the Viz liant finished.
 The O mile race was run in T hours ant 21 minutes. The wind blew almost half gale during the last half of the race, an, ."r U1N,s came m wltn decks forward we with spray.
 The next race will he tomorrow It wil 1 be a beat tn wiulwarrl. ll miles and return should the Nigilant win again, the Amer ica's cup will remain here at least anothe year, and the American Ccntrrllulrd vii still be the champion yacht uf the world.
