The vigi!ant Adds Another Handsome
Victory to Her List

Coves, Augusta A. The Vigilant won
handsomely yesterday The course was
As miles long with four turns and ran
almost due east and west each leg being
about 10 miles in length The course of
the yachts after the start was westward
to mark off the Leper thence eastward
to and around Warner ightship and
back to the starting point off Cowes. Ii
was over practically this same course
a year ago today that the Satanita beat
Mr.. Royal Phillips Carroll's centreboard
Navahoe by seven minutes and four
seconds. The wind from the Warner
to the finish was blowing about Is
knots. It was still west of south and
the big single stick ere made the
final leg almost close hauled.
1t required no official timing
to convince the American that their
yacht in a fine wind over a pretty
good inside course had vanquished the
cutter handsomely. Time Vigilant 81
/ Britannia "a IA. By actual time the
Vigilant won by minutes and 25 sec
onds. Deducting the allowance of 2
minutes and seconds that she
gives the Britannia, the Vigilant wins
by minutes and seconds. The race
was for cup valued at 100 guineas.
