soon as the boats had both laid their course

the cripple overhauled her In u really ridic-

More than one competent witness of the
days sport seid that considering every
thing yalkyre was beaten worse yesterday
than on Saturday. Defender gained on
her on the second and third leg. AS mat
ter of fact the only time at which both
vessels had the samo sails set was on the
third leg, and during that run Defender
gained one minute and seventeen seconds.
