ROCKIES POINT. QUEENSTOWN
HARBOR, July 4.-Vigilant and Bri-
tannia started this morning on their
twelfth race. with prospects of good
racing weather in the first days racing
OF the regatta of the Royal Cork Yacht
Club.
The course to-day was the same as
that sailed over yesterday. with the ex-
ception that the finish. instead of being
At the Spit Light, at the head of
Queenstown harbor, as yesterday, is at
the regular finish line of the Club, be-
tween the clubhouse and No. l Buoy,
thus giving an extra turn to the yachts,
making nine turns In all against eight
turns yesterday.
The prize competed for by the racers
to-day was $500 offered by the Club.

Vigilant and Britannia ran along, al
most close hauled. on the way to Poor
Head. but Vigilant soon pushed to
the front and had gained a length on
Britannia before a mile of the course
had been covered. This caused Capt.
Carter, of Britannia, to attempt one of
his now familiar little manoeuvres for
advantage. He suddenly passed around
under Vigilants stern. and tried to take
her weather. Capt. Half. however. here
had q nice little slice OF luck, for Vigil
liant caught q stronger pun Of wind. In
creased her lead, and prevented Britain
mia from getting her weather.
Bit of Luck for Vigilant.
The first part Of the run to Daunts
Rock on the first round. was clear before
the wind. Both yachts had their spin
makers out to starboard. But the sheets
were drawn in after a while. as the wind
vcered around northward. The breeze
had then weakened slightly, and Bril-
tannia began overhauling Vigilant I'M
til she was within a couple Of lengths
of the American yacht. Tho latter,
however, drew out again, and getting a
little more wind, increased the gap to
six lengths on nearing the lghtship,

The week has been notable for the num-
Der of proposed municipal improvements
and real estate transfers. aside from the
list OF Industrial enterprises. Many pro-
tacts for water-w works, electric-llght plahts'
etc. show that there Is a desire on the
mart of southern towns To take advantage
of the low rate OF money and made needed
improvements The madjustment OF the
Atlanta Consolidated railway finances In
dicates the faith New England creditors
have in the South. The modified plan or
Richmond Terminal reorganization has
been approved by most Of the security
holders. Large land sales in Texas and
in the suburbs of Georgia and South
Carolina towns Indicate much greater ac-
tivity in the real estate market.
Among the more important projects de-
VelOped during the week are a 6D-mile eX-
tension Of the Savannah, Americus and
Montgomery railroad. TO be built at a
