An Exciting Contest.

The wind was blowing % miles an hour
when both boats went over the line, within
two seconds OF each other. The Vigilant
led by the length Of her bowsprlt. They
made pretty start. As on Saturday, the
Valkyrie forged ahead at the start. She
was not running quite as close to the wind
as the white sloop, but she was going
faster.
In 10 minutes the Valkyrie led by four
lengths, but the Vigilant was trifie to
windward. The Valkyrie increased her
lead to 10 lengths at the end of the first
half-hour. The Vigilant then began to
shorten up the gap between her bow and
the Valkyrie's stern.
She took the lead aud the race was
procession from that point. The cup de-
fender gained Am. 45s. in the first 10 miles,
tackiDg 10 windward; Am. 12s. la the Sec
ond 10-miie run, and BIN. 36s. in the last
10 miles. Shs crossed the line ahead Of
the Valkyrie l2m. 2Ss. a tual time.
The Valkyrie was over two miles astern
when the Vigilsnt finished. The 30 mile
race was run in 3h 25m. The winner re-
ceived a salute from the hundreds of tugs
aud excursion boats.
The next race will be Wednesday.
Should the Vigilant win again, the Amer
ica's cup will remain here at least al other
year, and the American center boarder
will still be the champion yacht OF the
world.
The official time at the finish was; Vigi-
liant, 8:25:0l; Valkyrie, 8:35:38.
The regatta committee of the New York
Yacht club were notified after the race
that the Vigilant sprung her bowsprit
while covering the first leg. They will not
know until this evening whether she will

British Comment.

LONDON, Oct. lO-The Times this morn
ing says Of yesterdays race, IL leaves
little room for doubt that Vigilant is
more than m Itch for Valkyrie. 1t would
be idle to pretend that the yachts have not
been put to good. all-round, hard weather
test.
The Standard and Daily Telegraph also
make similar comments on the race.

America cup in gooi stiff breeze ranging
from 10 miles at she start To over 80 at the

@. Oliver Iselin aud the gallant crew Of
the white cup defender were the happy
ones when the yachts came back I'm the af-
ternoon. They led triumphal procession
OF yachts aud excursion craft up the har-
Dor, for the Vigilant had added a victory
TO her score. She had walked away from
the Valkyrie in wind that topped the
seas with foam and drove clouds Of spray
over her weather bow.
The day was an ideal one for an outside
race. The first OF the international races
was run TO leeward aud return, that OF
yesterday, the second In the series of thr q
In five, was triangular course OF 30
miles, 10 miles to the leg. There WAS
bound to be windward work and reaching,
and that always makes prettier race
than a leeward run.
There was the usual fleet of pleasure
craft, excursion boats and tugs, which
kept at a more respectful distance from
the yachts than on any previous day and
did not interfere with the race In any way
The Dolphin, with Admiral Gherardi on
board, was conspicuous In the feet.
The two yachts left their anchorage Off
Bay Ridge, where they had been over
Sunday, rather early. The Vigilant got
away at 7:40 H. m, aud the Valkyrie had
her anchor up at o'clock. Both boats
were towed down to Sandy Hook They
were saluted by incoming steamers, tugs
and excursion boats as they went down
the bay. The wind was south of SOUTH

Vigilant made for the Horseshoe, where,
under shelter Of the land, she ran up her
mainssil, jib and forestaysail. She then
went on out TO sea, with her sails aiding

time, and taking short cut through the

Stephen which is supposed to indicate
that the amusement was popular In
England during the reign of Henry H.,
about 1160. This mention has doubt
full meaning, and may refer only TO ten
mis-. 1t is certain, however, that 1t was
familiar to the subjects of Edward I'LL,
for he in 1871 felt compelled to issue an
edict prohibiting it. not because Of its
undesirability, but because it impeded
the progress Of archery. For similar

the ban on the game. Sir Thomas FL
