Boutelle then went on to take up the
records of the democratic senate com
mittees beginning with president pre-
tenn Harris, and showing almost with

the confederate army. He reviewed
the committees in the house from the
speaker down to the committee on pen
sions, showing how they We're doml-
hated by ex-confederates. Wilson, he
said, elected Springer from a loyal
state as chairman of the ways and

posed by the triumphal democracy with

PROGRESS OF THE RACE


New York, Oct. 9.-The second of the
series of races between the British
yacht Valkyrie and the American yacht
Vigilant for the Americas cup, was
sailed today. The course today was a
triangular one outside Sandy Hook
lightship. Each leg was ten miles long,
making the entire course thirty miles.
Early this morning the sky was over
cast with a fog on the water, but later
on it cleared away and the fog lifted,
making the day brilliant. The wind
during the morning was very fitful and
uncertain, blowing part of the time
only six knots per hour, but at the
hour of starting it was blowing an Is
knot breeze. The preparatory gun was
fired at lis, and the starting gun
five minutes later. The yachts ma
neuvered for position to the northward
of the mark, both carrying mainsail,
foresail, jib and club top-sails. The
Vallxyrie again got the best of the
start, crossing the line at 11:25, followed
by the Vigilant five seconds later Then
the Vigilant set her jib top-sail and be-
gan to close up on the Valkyrie's
weather quarter, both making good
deadway. The wind freshened and the
valkyrie moved forward, opening the
gap of four lengths which she main
tanned without material change until
1850.
At 1920 the Vigilant passed the Brit
isher and at 1890 was an eighth of a
mile ahead. The British claimed that
they wanted a heavy wind to show
what they could do, but the Vigllant
beat the Valkyrie on the wind as badly
as on Saturday she beat her before the
wind.
The Vigilant rounded the first stake
boat at LOS, and the Valkyrie three
minutes and fifteen seconds later. The
Vigilant rounded the second stake boat
having covered ten miles off the sec
ond leg in 81 minutes
The Vigilant wins, crossing the line
at 2:5O p. m. The Valkyrie crossed the
line at 1902 IL p. m.

New York, Oct. 9.-For the second
time, and that more easily than the
first, Americas cup defender Vigilant
defeated the English representative
Valkyrie. The second race was sailed
today on triangular course from San
dy Hook under conditions that could
not be more gratifying. While the vic
tory today was a magnificent one, only
the strongest words of praise can be
said of the gallant but ineffective strug-
gle which the Valkyrie made. She was
beaten by three miles at the finish. 1t
was fair and square open sea race,
both boats finding every breath that
was astir. When the Vigilant turned
the flag at the end of the second leg
she was a good two miles in advance,
Having rounded that mark, then came
another leg in which the cutter was
supposed to be much the better boat.
The wind was pretty nearly abeam
and the sheets wera hauled aft. 1t
was a pretty good specimen of reach.
and yet the light draughted boat
knocked spots out of the deep craft.
There but is one thing to say about it.
The Vigilant continued to increase her
lead from the time she began the leg
until she crossed the finish line. She
had made on an average Just about an
actual gain of mile on each of the
three legs. 1t was an ample test, as
has been told on each of the three
points, windward work, running, and
reaching. 1t is generally admitted that
the Valkyrie is the best boat England
ever sent over to win the Americas
cup. She met, however, a yacht that
was so far her superior that her hith-
erto admirers all say there can be no
doubt that the Vigilant will win three
straight races and therefore the match.
1t still remains, however, a question as
to which boat is the faster in a half
gale and a very rough sea. The official
time is:
