The Pail Mall Gazette says sarcastically:
We must await the arrival of the

tons of weight by not being fitted up be-
low decks, adding that there is great

NEWPORT, Aug. 10.--AIl Newport, rich

nearly all had embarked, and a few mo-

the signal for the start. Lead by the
Shearwater, the big feet got under
way for Brentons Reef. The wind which
had been steadily strengthening all the
morning was at this time doing 10 knots
and holding steady for New England.
When the yachts commenced to draw
out Of the barber the good sailing breeze
began to moderate, and before the
lightship was reached there was, practi-
cally speaking, no wind at all. Then
the boats began drifting about and every

Some of the boats put back or rather
drifted into harbor again when they found
little more wind.
The big schooner Constellation led all
OF her class and beat the Gloriana in ad-
dition on the run out. One by one the
boats began drifting about the flagship
but the wind they wanted would not
come. About IL o'clock what little
breeze there was drifted around to south
by east, and mt II :05 o'clock showed some
prospect OF freshening. The Navahoe was
the only boat in the fleet which appeared
to be finding wind.
