NOW FOR THE CAPE MAY CUP.
Navahoe and Britannia Off for
Another Long Race.
The Start Long Delayed by . Fog
Which LASTED All Night.

LONDON, Sept 15.-The yachts Brit
ANNA and Navahoe started at about
o'clock in the race for the Cape May
Cup.
The Britannia was slightly In the lead
The course Is the same as that sailed
over for the Brenton's Reef Cup: that is
to say, from the Needles, the western
extremity of the Isle OF Wight to and
around the breakwater at Cherbourg
France, and return, a distance of 100
miles.
The closeness of the race for the Bren-
tons Reef Cup on Tuesday added great
ly to the interest taken in to-day's race.
and many boats from Southampton,
Cowes, Ryde. Southsea and other yacht
ing centres started long before daybreak
for the Needles, where the start of the
racers was made
1t was the original intention to have
the Britannia and Navahoe run down
from Cowes last night and anchor In
Alum Bay. about two miles from the
starting point in order to have the boats
in readiness for an early start, it having
been decided by the Sailing Committee
that they should be sent away at I
o clock.
A dense fog set in last night, however,
and 1t was deemed safer to let the boats
remain in Cowes Roads over night.
The fog lasted through the night and
early this morning, and the plans of the
Sailing Committee were consequently
disarranged. 1t was not until $50
o clock that the racers started in tow
for the Needles.
There was scarcely chance that
anywhere near as good time would be
made to-day as was made In Tuesdays
race. The wind was blowing a light
breeze from the southwest. and the sea
was smooth. n
The boats were timed as they passed
the Needles Lighthouse as follows: q
II. NJ. s.
Britannia. =. ....... ................ o. 81
Navanoe. ................. ........ % 10
The Britannia kept her lead, and as
they began to drop below the southern
horizon there appeared to be no change
in the relative positions of the boats.
The wind holds very light.

Enthusiastically cheered.
Herr Bebel made speech, in the
