The Repairs to the Vigilant Not Yet
Completed.
EXPECTED RACE WITH THE SATANITA
Mr., Gould, the Owner ofthe Yacht,
Much Pleased.
ANOTHER PRIZE OFFERED

QUEENSTOWN, July 25.-Mr. George
J. Gould and the officials of the Royal Cork
Yacht Club will meet this afternoon and
try to make arrangements for a match to-
morrow. But a great deal depends upon
whether the work Of repair to the disabled
san Is satisfactory to Mr.. Gould and his
sailing master. Mr.. Gould telegraphed yes
terday to the Scotland Shipbuilding Com
pany's yard. at Greenock on the Clyde
(wlere the Vigilant was altered after her
races in Scotland), lnstructing them to have
another new pair OF jaws ready as soon as
possible, and to forward them to Penzance,
Mounts bay, Cornwall. In time for them
tC be fitted to the Vigilant's gaff before
the regatta there on Saturday next.
At the Mounts bay regatta 1t is believed
that the Vigilant will meet the Satanita,
we'll as the Britannia, and some interest
irg racing is looked forward to.
Sank the Vnlkyrie.
The Satanita will be remembered as the
yacht which sunk the unfortunate Valkyrie
on July 8, on the opening day of the Mud
hook Yacht Club regatta the Clyde.
The Satanita, according to the racing pro-
gram laid out by the gentlemen whose
yachts were to compete with the Vigilant,
was calculated to be able to beat the Ameri-
can sloop in reaching the Nalkyrie, was to
have tackled her in light weather and the
Britannia was looked upon as probably able
to defeat her in stiff breezes and choppy
seas. But this program was upset at the
start by the sinking of the Valkyrie and
the disabling Of the Satanita, and 1t
would seem to have been probably more
upset by the fact that the Eigilant seems
able to beat the Britannia in stif breezes,
while the cutter has an advantage over her
in light airs.
In any case the regatta in Mounts bay is
likely to be mere interesting than any of
the recent aquatic events, for 1T is reported
Safanita
proved, and some people look upon her as
being a better boat than the Britannia.
.. Another Race Proposed.
The owner of the Vigilant is highly graf
ified at the reception he has met with here
and mas offered a silver cup, which Is to
be made in the United States, to be COM
peted for at next years regatta OF the Roy
al Cork Yacht Club
The Britannia walks over the course to-
day for the third prize for the big yachts
offered for competition in these waters, and
as the Nigilant was officially entered, but
was unable to start, the cutter adds an
other to the string of prizes she has won
this year.
Sir John Arnott. q wealthy merchant of
Cork, has offered a cup, valued at 100 gum
cas-, 10 De competed for in an ocean race
between the Vigilant. the Britannia, and IL
possible, the Satanita. The date of this
contest Is to be determined upon by the
owners of'the three yachts mentioned But
ehC hhlsh IIluSt De III CORK maroon.
Mr.. Gould when Informed of Sir John
Arnotts offer said that he would accept
upon the condition that the race should
not be finished in Cork harbor, as he con-
siders the channel too narrow for racing.
Inc American steam yacht ATLANTA
leaves Queenstown harbor tonight, and will
go with the Ntgilant to Penzance .,-.',..-
Wins the Club Prize.
QUEENSTOWN, July 25.-The Question
having been raised as to whether the fact
that both the Vigilant and the Britannia
were entered for today's race, and the
Britannia sailed over the course for the
prize. while the Vigilant was unable to
compete constituted another victory for
tne cutter. The Associated Press CORE
spondent made inquiries OF the regatta
committee In this regard. The COMMITTEES,
In reply. said that It does not constitute
another victory for the Britannia over the
Nlgilant. although the cutter takes the
prize offered for ''frst-class yachts exceed
