the Jersey coast again. After footing about Ten
minutes in this direction Captain Han came 10 the
conclusion that he had enough ofiing to make the
turning mark-which showed bit of Anarchistic

the starboard tack. The Englishman came about

This showed a difference OF minutes %

ference in starting time the figures show that
the Valkyrie had gained only minutes 81
seconds over her broken winged rival In ten

the delay caused by the clearing up the wreck
As the Englishman rounded the mark his small
jibtopsail down in short order. The big
balloon jib went up slowly in It's place. The
thousands of American hearts In the following
fleet hoped and prayed that the Defenders Grip
pied topmast would be able to stand the more
direct forward pull of the balloon jb when run

couldn't carry anything while the boat was close
hauled But Captain Half evidently reasoned
that all the pull on the topmast forestry pro-
duced the result, and feared to rsk the
larger sail, when the smaller one had proved
dangerous. The Defenders baby 1lDtOpSdll went
up in stops and broken out at the turn.
The balloon staysail added Its help to the gen

With these sails set the Yankee sloop rushed
off after the cup-hunter at a clipping pace in
the freshening breeze. At 1:49, as the second
mark was drawing near. the Nalkyrie hauled
down the balloon iib and set No jibtopsail.
The seconded mark was rounded by the some

Defender. for the first time in the race. was on
terms Of equality with the Nalkyrie. The same
sails were drawing on each. The Yankee boat
was no longer on her lame tack. Her admirers
only wished that they could move the Jersey
coast and the Sandy Hook Lightship about ten
miles further TO the west. so that their darling
could have time to close up the gap OF the two
minutes and thrty-three seconds difference In
