Of the sloop yacht Mis- :hief when she de-
tended the Americas cup against the Ca
madam sloop Atalanta, the challenger in
1879, represented the Americas cup COM
mittee on board Valkyrie.
The race on Saturday was a beat of flf-
teen miles to windward fer the first leg,
and broad reach of fifteen miles, intend
ed to have been a run, home.
Today's race will be around a triangle
ten miles to a leg, thirty miles in all,
starting from Sandy Hook lightship and
with the first leg beat. if possible With
the wind holding from the southwest, this
would be possible, but the yachts would
have to iun very close to the Jersey shore
to turn.
Among the yachts off the government
wharf at Sandy Hook this morning were
the Navahoe and Queen Nab aud steam
yacht Peerless On board of these and the
other craft inside the Hook there were
scme signs of life, otherwise it was very
depressing morning, Hfeless, ieadeny,
gloomy in every respect, a great contrast
to the busy scenes of Saturday last A
dull haze obscured the horizon. cutting off
the range except for about five or six miles
off shore, but Sandy Hook lightship could
not be made out. and 1t looked as if fair
view of the race would not be obtained
from here.
The cable ship Mackay-Bennett at about 6
am. put out from the Hook in order to
take ur her buoyed cable, and after pass
ing Scotland lightship she was soon lost in
the mist.

Real so-called Valkyrie weather prevailed
off the Hook this morning, smooth sea
and light airs; but no patriotic American
doubts Defenders ability to make 1t two
straight previous to making 1t three
straight for the Yankee boat and her gal
liant Yankee crew. The only Objectionable
features of the last race were the crowding
of the excursion steamers and the fact
that good view of the race could not be
obtained, owing to the fog and haze.
To remedy the first complaint as far as
possible, Rear Commodore Jas C. Bergen of
tie New York Yacht Club. who is in COM
Inand of The volunteer patrol fleet, has
made second special request to the cap
tains of steamers which accompany the
Iacers to avoid interference with the
yachts, and 1t is predicted. II his injunc
tions are not attended to, Sandy Hook wat
ers will never have the pleasure of seeing
another international yacht race under any
conditions. for the next challenger may
atipulate that the contest shall take place
oft some part of the coast where interfer-
ence will be impossible.

The wind was still light and from the
southwest, and it would seem that the two
yachts, in order to sail windward course
on the first leg, would have to start further
out than Sandy Hook, or else turn very
close to the shore. ...s-l -
The EAcursion Fleet.
The schooner yachts and excursion fleet
at 9:20 am. began to show up off the end
of the Hook, and the Navahoe was just
rounding the point. The City of Bridgeport
was coming in past the Hook at $40
O'Clock. leaving Valkyrie to be towed out
to the lightship by a tug.
Defender at 9:21 dropped her tow and
was standing out toward Sandy Hook light
ship under her three lower sails, and on
the starboard tack. Vaikyrie was still in
tow, with her large club topsail set and
jib pulling nicely in the light wind.
Shortly after $40 Defender went about
on the port tack, and a couple of minutes
later she went around again and headed
out to sea and toward Sandy Hook light
ship. Valkyrie was standing out after her
and was a considerable distance behind
The fog at 9:45 was thicker Scotland
lightship could only be indstinctly seen.
Defender was in line with it and about
mile from the other side. AS seen from
this point Valkyrie was about half way
out.
Defender was then setting the large
white club topsail which she used on Sat
urday.
Then Defender disappeared in the fog,
which seemed to be rolling in separate
banks off the coast, for at last Sandy

EGYPT AND GREECE.
Their Commercial Agreement of In.

Their Commercial Agreement of In.
tcrest to the United States.
The State Department has been supplied
by Deputy Consul Washington, at Cairo,
with a translation of portion of the COM
mercial agreement recently entered into
between Egypt and Greece. The agree
melt ic of interest in the United States
because it directly affects the existing un-
derstanding between Egypt and this coun-
try. By a protocol to The former Heleno-
Egyptian tariff convention its provisions
were made applicable to the United States,
so that the probability is that new agree
ment with this country will now become
necessary. This old tariff was denounced
by Egypt in 1891, and the Egyptian gov
ernment has several times since asked the
United States to consent to a new conven-
ton. This country, while not denying the
request, had contended that the protocol
was still in force. What the course of this
gov v.rnment will be now that the treaty on
which our understanding is based is total
ly abrogated remains to be seen. The lew
agreement is in most essential respects
similar to the Egyptian treaties with Great
Britain, Germany, Italy and other Euro
peal countries, negotiated by the khedive
during the past five years for the purpose
of putting the commerce of that country
on harmonious footing. A favored ma
ton clause is secured, and Greece also
agrees to provision for ad valorem duties,
which ere rot to exceed 10 per cent on
products of the soil, except in rare cases,
when it may be raised to Is per cent The
new agreement will again permit Grecian
tobacco to enter Egypt. 1t has been in
hibited for four years past.

There was no change in the weather con-
ditions. and it was fully as thick off shore
as it had been an hour before.
Shortly before o o'clock Defender passed
outside the Hook with her mainsail and lib
set, and in tow Of tug.
The sky at this hour had commenced to
clear slightly in the northwest, and Scot
land lightsbip could be plainly seen. This
gave hope that the weather might clear
sumciently to enable the watchers here to
see Sandy Hook lightship and the start
Inc fleet of ugS commenced coming down
from New York, and a dozen or more were
running through the sv ash channel at .
O'Clock and following the racers out to the
lghtship.
The Luckenback with her attendant tug
followed as'ern of Defender, and Valkyrie
was half way down the swash channel.
The sea did not bother Defender in the
slightest today.
Some time later Defender set her stay
sail, although she held on to her tug. Val
kyrie had then broken out her jib, ard was
in tow off the point of the Hook. Defender
was half way out to the Scotland light
ship at that time. and the weather con-
tinued hazy, although the sun had come
out very warm and seemed to be burning
up the mist. But at 9:1O am. Sandy Hook
Hghtship could not be seen from here, al
though the two yachts could be made out
on their way there.
Valkyric at 9:15 am. was we'll out past
the Hook, with mainsail club topsail and
two headsails set. She was still in tow, of
her tug, and, like Defender, glided along

Details of the Second Contest for the Americas
Cup.
ONLY A MINUTE TO SPARE


HIGHLANDS, N. j., September 1O.-The
Valkyrie won the race today for the
Americas Cup. Soon after rounding the
first mark both boats disappeared in the
mist and were not seen until again near
the finish. The Valkyrie had only one
minute to spare.
HIGHLANDS OF NAvESINK, N. j.,
September 1O.-A cloudy sky and smooth
leaden-looking sea. over which light south
west airs were sweeping gently, was the
outlook from here at 6 o'clock this morn
ing. A few stray yachts, fishermen and
small coasting craft were to be seen at
anchor inside Sandy Hook; but the con-
testants for the Americas cup, the British
challenger and the American champion
Valkyrie III and Defender-were absent
from their usual moorings, having passed
the night almost within biscuit toss Of
each other, off the Atlantic Yacht Clubs
anchorage, at Bay Ridge.
The Britishers, not much discouraged by
the defeat which their yacht met with Sat
urday in light to stronger breezes and a
heavy sea, have shifted some of her bal

would have been before this in accord
with local public sentiment but for the
1act that during the few months since the
Baltimore interests bought the lexington
and Belt lines from the Phi.adei..h:a syn
dlcate We have been absorbed in the STU
pendous work of starting construction
upon the main line between Washington
and Baltimore, which is now we'll under

both the lexington and Belt lines would
soon be equipped with an unob;ec ctionable
rapid transit system, and in a very short
time my words will, as The Star has de-
manded. be crystallZed into acts and
facts"
The Local Interest.
The company to which Mr.. Newbold re-
fers as having a directors meeting yester-
day on the subject of lexington rapid
transit is the Baltimore-Catonsville Con-
struction Company, which is building the
line between Baltimore and Washington,
and which. it is said, is to equip the Belt
and lexington lines with underground
rapid transit. When the Washington and
baitimore line has been built and the Belt
and lexington lines equipped the whole
property is, 1t Is said, to be turned over to
the Washington and Maryland Company,
under whose charter the system is to be
operated. The persons interested in the iat-
ter company and the construction company
which has obtained control of the Ecking-
ton and Belt lines by purchase from Wi
dener and Elkins is q Baltimore concern
nine-thirteenths Of the stock being held by
Baltimoreans, and four-thirteenths by Phil
adeiphtans. The Washingtonians who in
the sale of controlling interest to Wi
dener and Elkins were left with small blocks
OF Belt or lexington stock on their hands
nave no interest as such stockholders in
the Baltimore trolley corporation which
now controls these two local lines and have
no influence In the concerns of these roads,
Their function seems to be to grieve that
they could not have rid themselves of their
Belt and lexington stock at the same time
tfat their more fortunate fellow-citizens
sold to Widener and Elkins, and to await
the time when they will possibly be frozen
out by the controlling Baltimoreans Mr.
Newbold in his talk with The Star reporter
recognized this lack of Washington inter-
est in the project and the feeling of local
hostility against it, due mainly TO the troll
ley fight, and he intimated that the road
was desirous. for obvious business reasons,
to stand well in Washington, and that it
would readily go to large expense in the
way of improvements of the equipment of
the local reads TO secure the support of
public sentiment.

On board Defender the crew seemed to be
quieter. Capt. Haff was sitting down as ne
steered the yacht, while Mr.. Iselin, Mr.
Lees and Others could be plainly seen hud-
died over to the leeward side of the boat

however, as if one of the Defender shrouds
had been carried away. unhappily, a thick

southeast, and this may cut off the view Of
the yachts.
The two yachts, at II :43, were not more
than a mile and half off here and De-
fender was sailing along nicely without the
aid of her jib topsail.
Valkyrie seemed to be gaining trfle on
Defender, as she was getting a better
breeze to windward Defender being in soft
sheets. and while Valkyrie's jib topsail did
not set very well, yet 1t helped her con-
siderably.

Hook lightship and the Mackay-Bennett
cable steamer, anchored to the westward
of it, were made out. A long line of ex-
cursion steamers, tugs, steam yachts
sch ooner yachts and smaller craft, reach
ing from the neghborhood of the Hook to
New York, apparently, was seen.
At 1910 the wind was still light, about
four miles an hour and about SOUTH south
west here.
Mr.. Lloyd Phoenix's Intrepid led the fleet,
closely followed by Barbers steam yacht
Sapphire. The third yacht of the fleet was
the Viking.
The Course.
The committee boat at 1925 displayed the
signal D. meaning that the course to be
sailed was the triangular course, from the
starting line, ten miles to and around d
mark; thence ten miles to and around a
second mark. and thence ten miles to the
finish line, turning the marks en- the outside
of the triangle to port or to starboard, ac-
cording as the yachts are sent around The
wind was then veering toward the south
and was about south by west.
The Embla acted as the police boat. There
were not one-third as many boats out to-
day as were cut on Saturday.
The yachts at 1892 were jockeying about
the course, awaiting the signals for the di-
rection of the course. These were displayed
at 1O:45. The first leg of the triangle was
to be directly south, the second northeast
by east and the homestretch northwest by
west half west.
When the boats came toward the i'm
aginary line those aboard the Defender
were Capt. Hank Half at the wheel and
First Mate Terry at the spars. Aft were

on the decks of both yachts. Capt. Half
