GOOD SAILING BY THE DEFENDER.
Even as It was. she about held her own ana ala
wonderful sailing. She was running to wndward

A NOTABLE MARINE SPECTACLE.
There never was more perfect day for yacht
race-;hat ls for general outing. The calm
weather that failed give much OF test to the
yachts was the very thing for all the small craft
that could In this Hight breeze venture out upon
the ocean There were catboas and little trading

The procession to the second buoy came to an
end when the valkyrie turned. She had made the

THE LATTER PART OF THE RACE.
She was now carrying exactly the sail
the Vakyre, and there nice steady breeze
to finish up There nukes yesterday,
and everything was straight sailing. At the second
buoy, timed unofncially the Defender seemed
TO have gained about quarter OF a minute. and
now both boats reached for home they seemed
to be at exactly the same distance apart as they
were at the first wndward buoy. But the wind
much stronger at this time--about double as
speedy at II at the first MARYLAND the conse-
quence Of this was that although the Defender was
about the same distance behind the Na,kyre at
the finish she at the first buoy. she was
able cover this distance in much less time. The
time taken at the first outer buoy showed that
this seemingly distance meant difference of
about four minutes when the wind was light and
when the breeze doubled II was in less than
three minutes
The Valkyrle received warm welcome she
passed in the first English winner here since Ash
bury's time. 1t cannot be said that the Americans
failed to do her honor. All that carronades and
steam whistles could say was eloquenty said The
attendant steamers did everything In their power
to give both yachts a fair field. They were most
careful when at the second buoy they were, as
1t were caught in by the competing yachts as they
turned from their previous course, hughe fleet Of
steamers waited until both yachts got away IN order
In this respect Captain Foster OF the Cygnus. was
especially expert He gave every one on board a
close view Of the race, but never once approached
4 position.
