SAME OLD STORY
The vigilant Runs Away From
Britannia When Sailing.
Loses When Wind Stacks and When
lacking Britannia Wins.
Bn The Associated Pres.


RoTHEsAY, (Firth of Clyde), July H.
The NTH racing contest between the
American sloop Vigilant and the British
cutter Britannia opened today with
brighter prospects OF victory for the
former. The wind was very light, but
the Vigilant got the better of the start and
II was soon seen that the alterations which
had been made in her trim since the con-
clusion OF yesterdays race had increased
her speed materially.
This was the first of the two days. rae
ing OF the regatta of the Royal Northern
Yacht Club. The prize for big yachts is
EGO, offered by the club. The course was
q peculiar one. The start was made from
an imaginary line drawn between the
hagship on Rothesay and mark boat No.
i. The yachts then made for mark boat
No. under Mount Stewart; from there to
mark boat No. 8, of Largs; thence to mark
boat No. 4, of Skelmorlie and after round
ing that mark, back TO mark boat No. 1.
This course had to be sailed over twice
and then there was an extra leg or
distance as 1t is termed here, from
mark kboat No. 1, to markboat No. 3.
of Largs and back. In other words.
the course was about square, and after
sailing twice around the square the yachts
from the starting point raced over to
the opposite angle OF the square and back
again before the race was finished. AS
three sides of this square are broken by
points of land it will be seen that the
race today was calculated to be a severe
test OF seamanship. The total length of
the double square and the extra leg of the
Rothesay course was 80 miles.
The start was made at 10 80 q. m. Hard
ly breath of air was blowing as the
racers got away, and the sun was shining
fercely upon the thousand of spectators
gathered at all convenient places. The
yachting and excursion feet was as large
as usual, but the excursion steamers did
not bring quite so many people to this
place as they did to Hunters Quay.
A tender breeze sprang mp as the boats
came upon the line with backyard topsails
and jib topsails set.
The Start.
When the gun was fired from the flag
ship both yachts were reaching through
the line on the start outside. They were
of with the Vigilant slightly ahead and
the Britannia's bows right across her
weather quarter.
The Britannia threatened TO work on
the Vigilant's weather but the American
yachs slipped prettily away. 1t was evil
dent that the Vigilant was in much better
trim than yesterday owing to shifting
of her ballast.
The times of the two yachts passing
markboat No. / at the end of the first
round were taken as follows:
