GAVE vIGILANT THE RACE.
The Next Contests to Be Sailed Ne,
Week.

As announced in The Star exclusively
yesterday, Capt. Half withdrew the De-
fender from the race with the Vigiiant
after the first round, and the Vigilant was
later given the race.
The stiffness of the breeze Is said to
have played much havoc among the De-
tenders rigging and locsened so much up
toward the masthead that she had to with
draw or chance a carrying away Of her
topmast. 1t was rept rted later that the
stacking up of the rigging was go extern
sive that the yacht would not be able to
compete in the second trial race for week.
The committee therefore decided last
night that the next two trial races would
take place on Tuesday and Wednesday OF
next week. 1t was mystery to yachts
men why the Defenders stay weakened
under a breeze which enabled her to still
carry her club topsail all the way to the
anchorage off Bay Ridge.
The Vigilant was prevented from going
over the whole course. as the wind burst
her jib into shreds. She ran up another
jib and was proceeding on the course the
her that she need go no further, as the De-
fender had withdrawn.
The work of handling the sails yesterday
was slow. The task of setting Defenders g
spinnaker, begun just as she rounded the
mark, was not completed according to
estimated time, for over five minutes after
ward. Vigilant was also slow IN handling
her spinnaker, taking seven minutes to
spread it to the breeze. Her handling was
wretched.
Valkyrie's Mast Fails to Arrive.
The hollow steel mast for valkyrie III.
which was expected to reach New York
yesterday by the steamer Circassia, was
not on board that vessel. Her captain
said to a reporter that when the Circassia
sailed the mast had not been quite finished,
and it was thought it would be shipped by
the Anchoria, which will be due here in
about week.

DISCUSSING the YACHTS
DR.. Tindall Gives Expert Views on De-
fender and Valkyrie.
He Claims the Deep Keel of Each is
Really "a Practical Recognition of
The Centerboard Principle.

Dr. William Tindall, secretary to the Dis
trict Commissioners Is great devotee of
sailing, and takes great interest in the
big yacht races. In an interview today
with reporter of The Star. concerning the
relative merits of the Defender and Val
kyrie, he said:
Whatever may be the result Of the COM
ing races between Valkyrie and Defender,
the centerboard principle has received an
unqualified Endorsement In the construction
of both yachts. The so-called keels Of both
yachts are principally designed to act as
centerboards; the fact that they are not
movable does not make them any less GEN.
terboards. as their intended function is
primarily to retaId the slip of the boats to
leeward.
Virtually Centerboards.
''The keel of valkyrie is broad. fiat ex-
tension downward. differing from the ira
ditional centerboard only in its longitudinal
shape and its immobility. OF necessity. it
is thicker than the ordinary centerboard,
but only so much so as to provide against
the lateral strains to which it Is liable when
the yacht is reaching. The use of this keel
to put the ballast as low as practicable, in
order to secure stability. while important,
Is but secondary. Without the obstruction
offered by the broad, fiat side of this ex-
tension to the leeward tendency. when the
boat is sailing on the wind. no practicable
depth at which the ballast might be placed
would keep a boat from slipping to lee
ward as effectually with it. There are
ether devices for placing the ballast low,
ameng the most conspicuous Of which are
those In use on what are called hn-keelers,
where the ballast is suspended on rods. No
amount of ballast and no location Of 1t on
one Of the old-fashioned British cutters,
with convex hull, could keep one Of them
well in the wind.
Ingenuity of the Designer.
1.-THE designer of the Defender" contin-
ued DR.. Tindall "in applying the center
board principle to his boat has given a
startling exhibition of daring ingenuity.
which through him has revolutionized
yacht body construction in the last five
years. He.has caused the occasion to place
his ballast low to serve him in giving to
his keel concave sectional form, which
enormously increases the resistance to lee
ward drift as compared with fiat sur
face, and which is of especial value when
the yacht Is listing. He accompliSheS this
by the peculiar treatment of his ballast,
" bich he concentrates at the bottom of the
Keel extension, and causes to swell in such
way that. it gives to that extension a
concave surface on each side. This con-
cavity enabled him to dispense with con-
siderable of the area of the extension, and
consequent increased quickness In stays.
1t Will be interesting to observe how far
this idea of concave-sided keel can profit
ably be carried in sailboat construction as
1t seems to involve a principle which may
be advantageously applied7and modified ex-
tensiVely Its extreme limit would prob
ably be complete reverse curves Of the half
mldship sections of the hull"

Evans had every hope of completing his

strong breeze and by wagons at night. He
rode his first twenty miles in one hour, and

The opening day of the grand circuit
meeting at Rochester. yesterday. furnished
surprises. The size of the crowd surprised
the meet promoters, as it was so much
smaller than any gathering OF previous
years that comparison was out of the
question. Fitz Royals victory in the 2.25
trot and the showing made by Jo He in the
2lo PACE We're the surprises for the crowd.
After Ell Rami. a strong eavorite, had
taken two heats in the trot. he laid ZIP the
third heat. Then. when he wanted to win
he could not reach, and FitZ Royal took
the race. 10 He was the favorite in the
fast pace. but he was never in it. Each
time. after getting the word, he iell away
tt hind and barely saved himself from the
flag.
Although the 2.17 trot was settled in
straight heats. 1t furnished a pretty con-
test. and was in doubt until the last heat
as won.
