ARACE FOR YIGILANT
The American Yacht Out
sails Satanita on
Every Point.
BRITISHER BACKS DOWN.
The Weather Was Light, and the
English Cutter had the Best
of the Wind.

DARTMOUTH, Sept. /, 1894.-The Vigi-
liant and the Satanita started in race
this mornig for the Bay Club prize,
valued at 40 pounds. The course was
triangular, from Dartmouth Range south
west to a markboat off Torcross, thence
east to boat IA and back, three times
around, the total distance being about
forty-two miles. The wind was light
from the northeast and the weather hazy.
Both boats gybed as they crossed the
line. The Vigilant had the lee berth
and crossed the starting line at 10:30:10.
The Satanita crossed at 10:3O:21. Both
had their jackyarders and jibtopsails set,
and had free reach to port for Tor
cross, which they rounded in this ORDER
Vigilant 11:09:45.
Satanita, 11:11:50.
On this stretch the Vigilant had gained
one minute and fifty-four seconds and
was two minutes and five seconds ahead
in rounding the mark.
The Vigilant held up to the eastward
and the Satanita kept well in towards
Blackwood, where the wind hauled east
wardly On account of the haze it was
impossible to see the yachts at the east
buoy, and they were consequently not
tlmed at that point.
SATANITAS ADVANTAGE.
The Satanita. being closer inshore and
keeping so, got better wind than the
Vigilant, and passed the American boat
on the run home for the first round.
They gybed to round the Commodores
boat, which they did as tollows:-
Satanita, 12:35:0S.
Vigilant, 12:35:49.
IN
til the rounding of the Commodores
boat the Satanita had gained two min
utes and forty-six seconds upon the
centreboarder, and upon bearing away
for Torcross on the second round was
forty seconds ahead of the American.
1t was again free reach to port for
TorcrosS.
On this reach the Vigilant overhauled
and passed the Satanita. and in rounding
the Torcross mark boat was two minutes
and four seconds ahead. The time of
rounding Torcross vast
Vigilant, 1:18:23
Satanita, 1:20:27.
On this reach the Vigilant gained two
minutes and forty-five seconds
Both boats held inshore on the beat
to the east. the Vigilant increasing her
lead, but later both ran nto calm on
the eastward tack. and there is now a
possibility of repetition of yesterdays
failure make race of it.
After rounding Torcross the Vigilant
disappeared, heading to the eastward
for the second markboat After being
out of sight an hour she hove in sight,
bringing a breeze from the west, and
made, close hauled, for the Commodore's
boat. The Satanita gave up the race
and was taken in tow for home.
AstOr on Gould's Side.
LONDON, Sept L, 1s94.-The Pail
Mall Gazette, commenting on the result
of yesterdays yachting under the au-
spices of the Royal Dart Yacht Club,
says:-'"The Dartmouth Sailing Commit
tee treated Mr.. Gould very badly in view
of the leniency with which offences
against the rules of the Royal Yachting
Association have been treated through
out the season. 1t is a great pity and
Mr.. Gould now has a real and tangi-
BILE grievance. We do not remember any
previous occasion upon which the clause
has been enforced that unless completed
within eight hours q race shall be void.
