the Winning ''Yat' VIII Not Lose
Her Speed just Now.
NEW YORK, Oct. 5~-[Special AT
1:4O D.. N. the Valkyrie was over three
quarters of a mile ahead. At 2:15 p. m.
the Valkyrie was seen approaching, turn
ing the buoy, and looked as if she was
nearly two miles in the lead.
This the first of the series of races for
the American cup, between the American
Yacht Vigilant and the British yacht Va
kyrie, took place to day, and this inter-
national sporting event is just now en-
crossing more attention in the east than
any other, not excepting the promised
pugilistic encounter for next December,
which is to decide who is the worlds
champion bruiser. 1t is well that for a
time the minds of those who take an in,
terCst in sporting matters are diverted
from the discussion OF the relative merits
of the representatives of trained brutality
to the consideration of the qualities Of
two typical vessels representing different
ideas of construction with reference to
securing the greatest speed. There has
been during the past two or three years a
pugilism, with effects detrimental in va
rious ways, but especially in the viola
tions of law that have resulted, and all
good citizens will commend the purpose
now being shown by the authorities Of
New York and Indiana to prevent the
bru'ai crmbats carried on underthe name
of exhibitions of scientific skill" and 10
punish those who engage in them. Such
a sporting event as that of the races for
the Americas cup, on the other hand, is
not only absolutely harmless, but is highly
serviccable in determining the superiority
in the matter of speed of differently con
structed yachts, one essentially American
and the other ~distinctively British, and,
moreover, the contest makes an appeal TO
national pride and patriotism.
1t has o been forty-two years since
the yacht America O in British waters
and brought over to this country the cup
that bears her name, and which has ever
since represented the yachting supremacy
Of the world. International races have
taken place in 1870, 1871, 1876, 1881, 1885,
1886 and 1887, the British sending here
in those years seven of their swiftest
yachts to recapture the trophy, most or
all Of them having been built with special
reference to this achievement. After
six years since the defeat of the Thistle,
a representative English yacht, which,
in her time, had defeated everything in
British waters, there is now here making
another trial for the prize a yacht which
is regarded as the sWirtest vessel of the
kind ever sent to American waters and
which has shown extraordinary quail
ties. While the confidence Of mes,
American yachtsmen in the ability Of
the Nigilant to keep tie cup in this
country is unbounded, none did hesitate
to admit that the Valkyrie is a very
formidable rival, and few will not e
surprised when they read the news to-day.

Needs assistance it may be best to render

when needed. The best and most simple
