Very Light Breeze.

Very Light Breeze.
JAMESTOWN, July 20.-The Nigilant
aud the Britannia started in light
wind in the second days racing OF the
royal st. Georges Yacht Club. The
Britannia was first over the line, but
the Vigilant followed almost instantly.
The race was for a prize OF $500 OIL
fered by the Royal st. George Yacht
Club. The course was quadrangular and
about fifty miles long. The start was
from the second or east pier OF Kings
town, to and around Rossbeg buoy,
marking the Rosebeg bank, OF the
Point Of Howth, thence out to sea and
around the Kish lighJship; from there
back toward land and around the Mug
Inns Rocks, of Bray Hsad, and from
there back to the starting point, this
course to be sailed over three times In
order 10 complete the fifty miles.
In addition to the main event, the
race between the Vigilant and the
Britannia, there were on this days
racing OF the regatta OF the Royal st.
George Yacht Club, nine minor events
with 81 entries. Nat Herreshoff was at
the VigilantS wheel throughout the
lO:52:O5, and the Vigilant fifteen sec
onds later.
The breeze was light and therefore
not favorable to the VIgilant Almost
continuously from the start the Britain
mia increased the gap that separated her
from the American sIoop, though In the
last leg Of the first round the Vgllant
pulled up so that when the East
pier buoy was passed marking the COM
pletIon of one-third the race she was
but 20 seconds behind. The next round,
however, the Britannia showed 4 min
utes 12 seconds ahead. and the race was
Mainly hers. Meanwhile the enthusl-
asm of the spectators had suffered
literal dampening by succession OF
thunder showers that had swept over
the coast.
The race was won by the Britannia,
her time being minute 81 seconds bet
ter than that of the Vigllant. This was
the ninth race of these yachts, OF which
the Vigllant, In a stiff breeze, won the
eighth.
