BRITANNIA-AILSA.
me THO Yachts Thoroughly Tested In
Various Ways.
PRINCES poAr ACTUALLY BEATEN
ant she Wins ON Time Allowance
Experts Think Conditions Favored
Her Competitor-Siagara Also a
winner.

LONDON. June 10-The cutters Bril-
tannia and Ailsa were thoroughly tested
to-day In reaching, beating. and running
m n steady east-northeast breeze. OF
moderate force, probably about ffteeu
knots, over the course OF the Royal Cirque
Ports Yacht Club, In the channel, OFT
Dover.
The air was so clear when the yachts
started that objects on the French coast
were easily distinguishable.
The Britannia won on time allowance.
but was actually beaten minute and
20 seconds by the Ailsa. The Ansa
covered the triangular course of forty
four miles in hours. 81 minutes.
and % seconds. or at the rate
Of somewhat less than 10 miles an
hour. The Britannia's time was hours
20 minutes. and 20 seconds. She receiv-
ed an allowance OF minutes ana .
seconds from the Ailsa, and, therefore.
beat her 81 seconds.
The race was for q silver cup. present.
ed by the commodore OF the club The
coarse was from Dover bay to and around
the Varne buoy. 10 and around the south
Goodwin Iight-ship, and thence 10 me
starting-point, twice over.
The sea was smooth, and the yachts
were able 10 carry light-weather canV&
including forestay-sans. club-topsails,
3ibs, and jib-topsails.
THE START.
The shippers in their zeal TO cross at
vun-6re were a little premature. They
cot away before the cannon doomed. and
we're called back and started OF again.
The yachts were cleverly handled. The
AiIsa crossed at 1202l0, and the Britannia
at l20S:l0.
Counting this advantage Of minute
that the Ailsa started with. she really
showed herself to be only half minute
netter than the Prince of Wales's cut
ter The wind on the run out 10 the
Varne buoy was nearly astern, and the
racers set spinnakers
A. the end OF the first round the yachts
we're turned thus: Ailsa, 2:l9lS; Britain
mia. 2:o:H.
This reported an actual gain OF only
,h~ce seconds for the Ailsa in twenty
two miles. The Ailsa had slightly in
creased her lead. as they bore away be-
fore the wind, with spinnakers set, on
Tho second run to the VaIne buoy.
The EXPERTS think the conditions were
favorable 10 the Ailsa.
The Prince of Wales and Duke Of
York sailed on the Britannia.
TWENTY RATERS.
The twenty-raters Niagara, Luna, ana
Stephanie were started over S-mile
course from Dover bay to and around
the South Goodwin hSht-Ship. twice over.
The trip was timed thlrs at the start:
Luna. l:22:12; Stcphanie, 1:2S:lO; Niagara,
1915.
The Niagara overhauied her rivals and
completed the frst round AZ seconds ahead
Of the Luna Time-Niagara, 2VO:55;
Luna. 2O1: 81; Stephanie, 20210.
The Niagara got the worst OF the
start, and in the weather-work on the
inst round was forced to leeward; but
she behaved finely on the second round,
outstrping her rivals in every point of
sailing She won handily. beating the
Luna by minutes and p seconds. and
the Stephanie by 6 minutes and IS seconds.
Time at the finish: Niagara, 317:40; Luna,
1880: Stephanie, 3:24:lS.
