HUNTERS QUAY, July 6.-Valkyrie III,
Ailsa and Britannia started today In the
first race of the regatta OF the Royal Clyde
Yacht Club with fine steady wind
blowing. The course was from Hunters
Quay, round mark boat off Skelmorlie,
complete the total distance OF about 80
miles.
The time allowances granted by Val
kyrie to her competitors, under the rules
of the yacht racing association, were:
Ailsa, 2m., sos.
Britannia, 4m., 2s.
Britannia and Ailsa carried jibtopsails; !;
but Valkyrie dispensed with that kite.
Ailsa and Britannia were recalled for
being over the line too soon, and at the
start the times were:
Valkyrie, 10h., Bonn, 40s.
Ailsa, 10h., 32m., 45s.
Britannia, 10h., 33m., 20s.
Valkyrie did splendidly i'm the beat to
windward and soon had a long lead on
Firth on the opposite tack.
Later running on the Firth from
Skelmorlie with her spinnaker to star
board, Valkyrie passed the Cloch light
with a good lead. The times were as
follow:
vall<yrie, 12h., 58m., a1s.
Ailsa, 1h., 4m., los.
II was noticed on all sides that the cup
challenger sailed very fast before the
wind.
Eventually the first round was fin
ished in the following times:
Valkyrie, H., 32m., Sos.
Britannia, H., dim, 59s.
Ailsa, lh., 46m., SIS.

The following were the times at the
finish

Britannia, Al, 49m., 36s.
Ailsa, 4h., 50m., 57s
Consequently Valkyrie won by Is min

THE 20-RATERs.
The 20-raters started at IL O'Clock and
crossed the line as follows:
Dakotah 11h., los.
Eucharis 11h., los.
Niagara 11h., 22s.
Zinita 11h, I'm, 3s.
Not long after the start IL was noticed
that Zinita hoisted her protest flag, and
though she continued in the race there
was an exchange OF signals between her
and the commodore boat. Later the COM
modore signaled Niagara and Mr..
Gould's yacht gave up the race, from
which it was assumed that Zini-
ta's protest referred TO her.
Previous to that Eucharis and Niagara
had been sailing very close race on the
run up to the powder buoy with their
spinnakers to port.
They passed the Cloch light together at
12h. 20s.
Zinita 12h. I'm. los.
Dakotah 12h. Pm. los.
The twenty-raters, however, had time
to finish the first round before Niagara
was ordered out of the cace, and times are
as follows:
