Beating the Britannia and Satanita
Around the Isle Of Wight.
YACHTS JOCKEYING At THE START
A Fresh, Raw Wind Delighted the
Sportsmen.
THE SLOOP'S FINE SAILING

COwEs. Isle of Wight, August 6.-wIth
prospects of a splendid days racing, the
Vigilant, Britannia and Satanita started
this morning In the big event of the re-
gatta of the Royal London Yacht Club. A
better course could scarcely be desired, and
the weather was what the experts were
pleased to call Satanita weather. The
course was around the Isle of Wight, start
Ing eastward. once around to make total
distance Of about fifty-five miles.
There were nearly 300 yachts of all sizes
and descriptions lying in the roads, making
perfect forest of masts all gay with
color, when, In response to a signal from
the Royal Yacht squadron castle, nearly
every craft afioat dressed ship with multi
color flags, rainbow fashion, from stem to
stern.
The American yachts Atlanta, White
Ladye and May were conspicuous among
those flying the stars and stripes. Along
the Esplanade many ensigns were flying
from tall flag poles, and the balconies Of
most of the houses were covered with red
CLOTH
Most conspicuous in the middle Of the
parade was tall mast, from which the
American flag was flying in honor of the
American visiting crafts. and the thou

and best-attended opening of the "Cowes

over this gay spectacle laden sky
frowned. threatening a showery day. But
as a compensation a fine breeze was blow
ihg, and the white caps were dancing at a
lively rate. During the early morning ex-
cursion steamers from Southampton, Bour-
nemouth. Portsmouth. Southsea and other
places, steamed into the roads.
The defeat of the Britannia by the Vigil
liant on Saturday last had left very sore
feeling among the greater number of Brit
ishers. But this did not prevent people
from fiocking hither from all parts of Eng
land. until larger numbers were assembled
than were ever before gathered at an Eng
fish regatta. The coming of Emperor Will

here at o'clock. ON board the imperial
yacht Hohenzollern, probably attracted
many In addition to those who came, hoping
to see the Britannia 6venge her defeat.
With the day advanced the fresh, raw
wind, greatly to the delight of enthusiastic
yachtsmen, increasing in force.

The start.
The three rival yachts gave the spectators
a pretty exhibition of smart seamanship be-
fore the start. as they cruised up and down
testing the wind, from o'clock until the
starting gun was fired at 10 am. The grace
full racers looked beautiful as they made for
the line at the report of the gun. All three
yachts started for the line carrying club
topsails and balloon jibs. The times Were,

AT the outset an exciting and pretty con-
test occurred between the Britannia and
Vigilant. The form was holding the wind
ward position, and the latetr tried to pass
her. But the Prince of Wales cutter imme-
ately luffed up and held the Nigilant. For
a time consequently. both yachts made lit
tie forward progress.
The Satanita, in the meanwhile, rapidly
forged ahead, and an idea directly struck
all the spectators that the Britannia's ma
neuver If holding the Vigilant was the re-
suit of a tacit agreement between the two
British captains to work in unison, so that
the winner of the cup would be British
vessel, this being Cay of Satanita weather
and the BritaI MIA having but a small chance
of winning. Therefore the latter could very
well devote herself to harassing the Ameri-
can yacht. This maneuver SO far succeeded
that when the Vigilant ultimately got clear
the Satanita was long way ahead.
