New YORK, July 22.-1f there was any
doubt of the Defenders superiority over
the Vigilant after Saturdays race it was
dispelled to-day. The new aspirant for
the international championship ran away
from the old champion on every leg and
defeated her handily over the thirty
mile course by 8 minutes II seconds. The
official time was: Start. Defender 11:25:30,
Vigilant l1:260l; first mark, Defender
12:57:0l, Nigilant l2:59:0S. The Defenders
gain on the first leg was / minute 50 Sec
ondS. Second mark, Defender 2:50:Il,
Vigilant 2:57:5O. The Defenders gain on
the second leg was minutes 81 seconds.
Finish, Defender 3:45:00, VIgliant 3:54:4S.
The Defenders gain on the last leg was
II minutes 9 seconds. Elapsed time, De-
fender 4:l9:30, Nigiiant 4:2S:47. Difference
OF time in favor OF Defender, minutes II
seconds.
The race was over triangular course,
with ten miles TO leg. The start and
finish was at Scotland lightsh1p. The
first side of the triangle was bread
reach, halfway with the wind light from
west southwest, and a slight change in
the wind made it run free with the
spinnakers the rest of the way. The sec
ond side OF the triangle was started as
close reach, but q second change in the
wind made it beat to windward. This
change happened to come at time when
it gave the Defender the most advantage.
The last side of the triangle was reach
with wind aDeam. The Defender made
gains, and the net result of tie race was
q handsome victory for the new boat.
The Vigilant sailed a beautiful race,
but only Tor few moments did she ap-
pear TO have any kind of a chance with
the keel boat. 1t was when the wind,
which WAS light at the start, died down
to fair zephyr that the center board
crept upon her rival, remained by her
side few moments. and then inch by
inch moved ahead.
There were yachtsmen on the club
steamer VINO said that the great Ameri-
can institution, the center-board, was
about to be vindicated. and the hated
keel type placed Ill the rear. BUL the
Nigilant did not show more than hall her
length before her rival's bow The
wind freshened trifie, and the peerless
new boat made a wonderful response.
Like thing Of life, she glided forward,
parting the waters cleanly, aud leaving
scarcely speck of foam in her wake
She walked past the Nigilant and con-
tinued to leave her during the rest of the
run, the close reach, the beating to wind
ward, and the reach home.
In all points o. sailing the new boat
demonstrated her ability to defeat the
Nigilant IN the light air which prevailed
of Sandy Hook.

other. DANA'S Sarsaparilla is a
specific for all diseases having
their origin in Impure Blood; or
those in which the cleaning of the
Blood means good by to the
disease. These comprise nearly
all the ills human flesh is heir to.
Rheumatism, Catarrh, La Grippe,
Malaria, are all constitutional dis
eases of the blood. Dyspepsia,
Indigestion, Constipation, Liver

cause Impure Blood. Purify the
blood and the disease goes out of
