lust before reaching the starting line, however,
the valkyrie, according to the claim OF the De-
fender bore down upon the latter thereby caus-
ing foul through the swing Of the Valkyrie's
boom. which resulted in the carrying away OF the
Defenders spreader and the springng Of her top
mast.
The Defender entered her protest Immediately
and the race was sailed under those conditions
At the New-York Yacht Club last night the
opinion was unanimous that but for the claimed
foul the Defender would easily have run away
from her rival
II was expected early in the evening that the
Regatta Committee of the club would make their
decision on the protest last night, but at late
hour this had not been done.
8. Nicholson Kane, the chairman Of the COM
mittee and Irving Grinnell, another member,
and A. Cass Garfield, secretary OF the Cup
Committee were In conference for two hours
at the Hotel Brunswick. and then they disap-
peared.
James d. Smith said that no decision would
be made last night.
At 10 D. m. the Yacht Club posted on Its bulle-
tin board the protest OF the Defender on the
grounds already indicated.
The race was sailed over triangular course.

When the Defender won the first race OF the
series. and when the cheers with which she was
rewarded for her splendid performance had died
away, her friends modestly said Walt with your
praise and with your glorhcaton until another
race has been sailed" The other race has been
