It Is the hope Of the committee to start the race
from Sandy Hook Lghtship. but whether this
can be done will depend on the weather. The race
on Saturday to begin and end there also. but
the conditions were unfavorable. as they may be
to-day But wherever the starting point may be.
1t has been decided that the first leg OF the tri-
angular course will be sailed dead to wfndward

The feeling in yachting circles and elsewhere
whore the race discussed yesterday was en-
tirely different from that which prevailed on the
eve OF the first OF the international races Then
there was a suppressed anxiety and restlessness
great extent. but there is evidence Of over-con-
ndence The defeated yachtsmen, with that PLUCK
which is the best evidence Of true craftsmanship.
say that they have not lost heart because OF their
first defeat and think that their boat has an equal
chance with the American sloop IN to.day's con-
test CAPTAIN Cranfeld said yesterday that
no thought Saturdays race no fair test OF the
yalkyrie's ability, and that he hoped to win In
to-day's contest. The Defender partlsans nave al
ways BEEN loud in their wishes for heavy weather.
because light air was thought TO be the Valkyrles
choice Now the Earl Of Dunraven IL reported 10
have declared her best In strong breczes and that
adds new interest to the races.
Thore are some enthusiasts who look upon the
rnca OF last Saturday conclusive as 10 the pos
aession of the cup but the older and the moro
conservative say: Wait I'LL Tuesdays race 10
over"
In Yachting circles there was as much talk yes
terday about the weather and the excursion boats
az about the races themselves. All hoped that
there might be q good stif breeze. and that each
boat would have a fair chance to show what II
could do in real sailing weather There was
doubt before the first race was sailed whether
the course would be covered in six hours, there
being so little breeze.
According TO the predictions issued last night
the weather to-day is likely to be fair with fresh
southerly winds.
At midnight the Weather Bureau people re-
ported that the wind then was from the southwest
and blowing at the rate Of twelve miles an hour
suor-LD BE NO CAUSE FOR COMPLAINT.
As 10 the excursion boats. there is only one
opinion In yachting circles, and that is shared oy
all fair-minded people The course must be kept
clear, Everybody expresses admiration for tho
Earl Of Dunraven. and all praised his pluck and
his perseverance In coming to fight where he was
once vanquished. and the hope was loudly ex-
nressed that nothing would be done 10 give tho
gallant adversary even the slightest ground Tor
complaint nor the least pretext for protest. me
Yacht Club has done and is doing all In It's power
10 insure free course. and the Regatta Commit
tee deserves much credit for the way IL mas wan
aged matters but there was tendency al the
first race on the part OF some captains to disre-
GA rd the rules laid down by the committee which,
y nerssted In. may give cause for just complaint
on the part OF the yachts.
FEW CAPTAINS INcoNsIDERATE
Commodore Bergen. who commanded the patrol
at the first race has publicly praised the COM
manders OF excursion steamers for obeying the
orders from the patrol boats. but the good con-
duct OF the majority simply emphasizes ana
makes more noticeable the unpardonabe action
Of a few.
II is hoped that at to-day's race the passengers
will protest II they see their captain going De-
yond the patrol boats line. Latham A. FISH
of the Cup Committee. said that every member
Of the club hoped that the boats would have an
open and a free chance, and that their way would
not be obstructed.
There will probably be a smaller attendance
to-day than on Saturday. because In the minds OK
thousands the contest is already won by the De-
fender. and the question with them is. BY how
much will she win?
II the rush seaward is less than 1t was on Satur-
day. some OF the steamers will be forced to make
their promise good and take only limited NUMBER
OF passengers Some OF them evidently forgot
that point in their agreement last week. The Re-
gatta Committee will be on one OF the Luckenoaca
ocean tugs and will have guests the members
