Va1lSyric VS.. Britannia.
It was not until late yesterday that Lord
Dunraven finally decided to allow Valkyrie
III to race with Britannia and Ailsa to-
day. But he will remain in London dur
ing the contest, as he has an interest In
the political situation at present which
Is far more intense than his interest in
racing. In fact, an intimate friend Of Lord
Duraven's informed representative Of
the Associated Press yesterday that If the
country needed his services as a statesman
In the autumn he, Lord Dunravep, would
not go to the United States, although, OF
course, Falkyrie III will cross the Allan
tic and meet the Americas cup defender.
Tom the same SOutCc lie isSoCiatCo
Press hears that. in Lord Dunraven's opin-
Ion, it would not be wise to pay too much
attention to the performance Of Valkyrie
III today, as her first spin is purely an
experimental one, and the cup challenger
Is hardly in trim yet for racing.
The experts also attach great Importance
to the fact that Lord Dunraveh Will not
be present on the Clyde today. HE Is not
a mere arm chair yachtsman, said Lord
Dunraven's friend, but a man full OF
sailor-like instinct, who would know by
the feel of boat, as she moves. what al
terations might be necessary TO improve
her But you may say that the little trial
made of Valkyrie has been eminently sat
isfactory and the hopes of Lord Dunraven
and his friend run high"
Erroneous Comparisons.
1t is learned upon good authority that
the elaborate printed comparisons OF VAL
kyrie III and Defender are erroneous, es-
pecially in regard to their sail area. Lord
Dunraven Is not the man to give himself
away a moment earlier than is absolutely
necessary, especially over such an i'm
portant matter. Ratsey, the famous sail
maker, and Lord Dunraven understand
each other perfectly in this matter The
sails of Valkyrie III will be Of special ma
terial The cloths are not OF normal
width which accounts for the fnaccuracy
of the estimated area.
Also from the same high authority, the
Associated Press learns that there Is some
foundation for the rumor that the Prince
of Wales may slip over to New YORK In
September, In order to witness the races
for the Americas cup II all is quiet here.

miles, but not nearly so bad as at Pough-
keepsie.
At the half mile Yale led by two lengths.
There was not the semblance of race.
The watches showed minutes 1911 Sec
onds for Yale, minutes 40 seconds for
Harvard In the next half mile the gap
still widened. Yale passed the mile flag
In minutes 4 seconds, Harvard In 5 min
utes 20 seconds, which means a difference
Of four boat lengths.
At the mile and a half the time was:
Yale, Z minutes 40 seconds; Harvard, 8
minutes, or six boat lengths. Then came
the only brilliant work for Harvard, a
alton.
NOW give her ten, and pull for your life.
They're away ahead!' yelled the coxswain.
Billiard responded and raised the stroke to
40. The men followed him splendidly. Wat
riss and Jennings shook themselves to-
gether and got back in time. There had
been no let up from the start and lungs
were painting for air, but not a man weak
ened in this last great endeavor to do or
die.
Yale suddenly saw the Harvard shell
creeping up, and IN this half mile Har-
ward not only held her own, but gained
two-thirds of length. Yale raised her
stroke and kept it at 50 for little way,
but there was no more extra steam in the
Harvard boat. Their bolt had been shot.
Still the forms kept up fairly well, and
through to the bitter end Watriss and
Jennings were spelling the looks of the
shell bit and the time in the stern was
ragged.
The rest Of the course was painfully
lacking in interest as a boat race. The
two-and-a-half-m flag was passed in II
minutes IS seconds by Yale. and In 10 min
utes 20 seconds by Harvard. This left
Harvard nearly eight boat lengths to the
bad, and even Yale men looked sorry and
surprised.
