blind to It, and that was Whiting him

He was an unpleasant, sneering sort OF

But he had a way with women which

Tho Times Thinks Our Yachts Are
Best in American Waters.

10Y AbsoClbteu Frobb.D
LONDON. July 10.-The Times says
that the ma!nsa!l used by Vigilant
yesterday was the same as that used by
her in the America Cup races against
Valkyrie.
The Emperor OF Germany's yacht Me-
teor formerly the Thlstle) has arrived
at Portsmouth. She met with bad
weather during her voyage and lost her
lib. She will take part In the race for
the Queens Cup at Cowes.
The Telegraph says that the result
OF the three races between Vig.lant and
Britannia tends TO prove the theory that
the modern American and English
yachts are best suited to sailing their
own matches. and are best adapted to
the peculiar circumstances under which
those races are sailed. Ergo, II the
America Cup Is to be brought to Eng
land, yacht must be built for Ameri-
can. not for English racing.
Vigilant, Britannia and Setanita have
been entered for the race for the Gold
Cup.
