The herald., 1895-08-01

twenty-five seconds ahead of the Vigilant.
The Volunteer was pretty quick and
went away i've seconds after the VIgilant.
Tho Jubilee was there, but for some rea-
son or other she did not start with the
others. and this fact lessened the interest
in the whole procession, as the breeze was
blowing pretty fresh and every body
wanted to know what General Payne's
vessel could do with the champion of
1893 and the new fin keel yacht. The
boats which did start had good race.
There was fine breeze which was always
found itself going with the wind and
spinnakers were set, and IN this way
they rushed home to the finish line.
The result of today's race shows that
the fight for the cup on the American
side will be made either by the Defender
to start today. indicates to sane persons
that she does not want to 60 into race
whore there IS a blow, as a victory in
such weather cannot be of great value, for
the chances are five to one that the cup
races will be in light'weather and that is
the game the Valkyrie III. was built for.
