METEOR SAILED IN FIRST
But Mohawk Won the Queens
Cup on Time Allowance.
BRITANNIA WAS SECOND
Regatta of the Royal Yacht Squadron
Called Out a Fashionable Crowd.
Kaiser's Yacht Gave All Others a
Liberal Time Allowance and the
Race Was Won on This Margin.

Cowes, Aug. 4.-The regatta Of the
Royal Yacht Squadron, OF which the
| Prince of Wales is commodore, began
today under favorable auspices of wind
and weather.
This regatta is the event OF the year in
the English yachting world, and the large
number of boats here yesterday, when the
regatta of the Royal London Yacht Club
took place, was augmented by many late
arrivals last night, the grounds about the
club house OF the Royal Yacht Squadron
were throDged with a fashionable crowd
to see the race for the Queens cup, which
| last year was won by Admiral, the Hon.
V. Montagu's cutter Carina. The race
was open to all yachts belonging to the
squadron.
The course was from the Castle west
ward, to and around the Lymington Spit
buoy, thence eastward to and around the
Blu llock Patch buoy, outside the Nab
lightship, and back to Cowes, fifty miles.
CHANGE IN COURSE.
This was change from the usual man..
per of sailing over the course, the yachts
today going first to the westward in
stead of 20 the eastward, az is generally
the case: a good, steady breeze was
blowing from the northwest when the start
was made, and this made the point of
Sailing to thefirst mark a close reach.
The starters were Emperor Williams
Meteor: the Prince of Wales Britannia;
Mr.. John GrettoD, jr's Hester, and Capt.
James A. Orr Ewings' Mohawk. The
Meteor crossed the starting line first,
but the Britannia was close up, and had
the advantage of being in the weather
position The other yachts followed in
procession. The race throughout was a
close one between the Meteor and the
Britannia. The Meteor was the first to
cross the finish line, at 4:45 80. fol-
lowed by the Britannia at 4:4S 40.
The Hester and Mohawk were consider
ably behind, but as they had large time
allowances from the Meteor, it apparently
required much figuring oD the part of the
judges to decide which toat had really
Won the race. The result was the same
as in yesterdays race, when the judges
first announced that the Britannia had
Won, and later reversed their decision in
favor OF the Caress, which took the prize
oD time allowance.
BRITANNIA ALLOWED TIME
Inc meteor on TO-DAY CoIrse allowed the
Britannia 8 minutes, the Hester 40 min
utes and the Mohawk one hour and 20
minutes. The judges got mixed up and
first announced that the Hester was the
winner. The Mohawk was the last to
finish, and the Judges after little further
figuring discovered that she had saved her
time by three minutes and had therefore
won on her allowance.
The other big raters, the Ailsa and
Samantha did not start in the race for
the Queens cup, they having entered in
The regatta Of the Royal Southampton
Yacht Club, which was sailed in South
ampton waters. Interest in this last
mentioned regatta was centered in the two
big cutters.

New York, Aug. 4-Lester German kept
| the Giants guessing today for two hours
and a half. Considering The character of
batsmen who faced him, he did great
work and with half way respectable sup.
port should have won his game hands
down.
But n mis- judged fly was muffed by Sell
bach in the fourth inuing which let in
two runs and DeMont's low throw in the
eighth let the New Yorks tie the score
Even in the tenth inning New York won
probably by holding out the old balls as
they went foul.
Charley Farrell was given a great re-
c..ptlon when he FIRST went TO bat. The
situation when he faced Meekiu for the
first time in three years as u fee instead
OF the latter's receiver, was almost pa
thetic. Both essa yed to smile, but every one
knew that the smile did not come from
their hearts.
BECKLEY WON THE GAME.
2eckley's allaround work won the game
for the New Yorks. His fielding cut off
runs and he batteJ in four rams for his side.
With two out in the second, Blown hit
to right, stole second, and scored on Cart
wright's single. The bases were full on
two errors and four balls with only one
out in the fourth but Meekin, who was ut
his best, struck Cartwright out and Glea-
son took Germans line fly. With man
oil second base in the third inuing Meekin
struck out DeMontrevile and Selbach.
With two out in the fourth and the bases
full on two hits and four balls Beckley
doubled, after which Selbach muffed Van
Haltren's fly, the result being four runs.
Fanell's single and O'Brien's bouncer
into the right field seats pulled the score
up to three to four in the sixth The Sem
ators took the lea1 In the eighth with two
runs on a hit, wild throws by Gleason, and
Connaughton's miss of n gTounder.
D'MONTREvILLE's LOW THROW.
But DeMontreville's low throw spared
Gonna ughton in the same inning, who was
batted to third and tied the score on
BeCkley's second two-bagger.
In the tenth Gonna ughton singled, was
hunted TO second, stole third, and scored
on Beckley's long fly TO Lush. The attend
ance was about 3 900, and enthusiasm ran
high in spite OF the miserable fielding put
up by the Giants.
The result of today's game changes the
two clubs in their race positions. The New
Yorks get out of the ten pit and drop the
Senators into the hole they vacate.
Joyce is prime favorite with New York
rooters. Every time he goes to bat he is
cheered by the spectators. The Senators
believe they have an excellent chance TO
win games in Boston. The score:

changes. The fielding OF 10th clubs was
very loose, and 1t is only fair to say th;.
the Senators lost by hard luck. A good
deal of sentiment entered into the game.
