Cottage city. Mass. Aus. SIT was a
fine breeze that the New York Yacht
club squadron got under way from the
Brenton's Reef light ship of Newport
this morning and began that portion
Of their cruise which would take them
to Cottage City. The big sIoops were
without alls of their yesterdays com
pany, the Jubilee having decided not
to race and appearing on the scene
with working topsail while the others
all had club topsails set, as well as
baby 1ib topsails.
The Defender was first away as usual
with the Viligant second and the voiun-
teer third. From the press boat it
looked as though the Vigflant did not
cross until after the handicap gun was
fred and that the Volunteer was con-
Siderably behind her The Defender
made her start in excellent form. going

The Vigilant caught he breeze but could
not keep up. It was seen that the De-
fender stood sitter than the VigilanI
The latter hauled down her baby jib
topsail at about u O'Clock. Within a
quarter Of an hour, however, 1t was
decided to run It up again and this was
done. The Defender all this time was
widening the gap between shem-
The fleet was well headed by the De-
fender when the new boat passed the
Sow and pigs light ship. The De-
fender was to all appearances about
Az minutes ahead Of the Vigilant. This
being the case she had gained about
255 minutes on her rival.
The breeze today was stronger than
on the Sandy Hook occasions referred
to and in what she did the Defender
made her admirers more admiring.
Having passed the Sow and Pigs light
ship the feet steered course more to
the northward and headed up the shore
with the wind now well aft the beam
on the starboard side, for the deStina-
ton OF the day.
