witness the first race OF
Valkyrie I'LL, Lord Dunraven's
syndicate yacht, which is looked upon as
almost certain TO cross the ocean and race
for the Americas CUP
When the gun was fired at 10:3O a. M,
Ailsa was pointing direct from the line
and went over first.
All the yachts carried club topsails,
flying jibs and their ordinary sails.
Valkyrie was well handled, and before a
half mile of the course had been covered
she took the lead, With Britannia close
behind her, and Ailsa a long distance
astern. The yachts, however, were merely
drifting. The breeze freshened, after
beating round Craigmore Point, and Val
kyrie thought II advisable TO lower her
jib-topsails, but she passed Mount Stuart
a good distance ahead of her competitors,
and then, in working across to the Largs
mark boat. she increased her lead, until
when preparing to round that mark, she
was quite a mile ahead of Britannia, the
Prince of Wales yacht having the lead of
Ailsa.
The course for the race is so miles.
The first prize is G75 and the second f25.
vaIkyrie Ill. Is rated ut 50 and gives
Ailsa which is estimated to rate 160, two
minutes and 80 seconds. Britannia rated
at 1853, gets an allowance of four minutes
AZ seconds.
The Britannia won.
