Viewed from the standpoint of the
unprecedented observer, the yacht race
Of yesterday was complete success
The crown has passed from the Bon
| ME, the queen of Hawaiian waters for
| the past ten years, to the Gladys, a
| newcomer. and the product of Ameri-
| can invention and skill. If the race of
yesterday is any criterion, the Inter
| national race, to come off soon, will
be a walkover for the Columbia.
To all intents and in the eyes of the
public there were but two yachts in
| the race. The Bonnie, owned and
sailed by President Dole, was designed
by Fife, the designer of the Shamrock,
and was built in Scotland. The Gladys,
owned and sailed by T. w. Hebron
was designed by V. d. Bacon of Mas
Francisco
The Hawaii, under manage
| ment of Judge Wilcox, and the Ma
| rion, in command of DR.. Humphris,
| were kindly entered to make the event
| more interesting, but the struggle was
generally understood to be between the
Bonnie and the Gladys, both of which
were known to be very fast and both
of which had many hackers. The Bon
ME has never had a competitor, here,
worthy of her, when she was under full
II a of lat
she has been handicapped by being
barred from using topsail or spinnaker,
though without these she has easily
won against all comers.
The Gladys, which was built primari-
ly as a pleasure boat, or cruiser, de-
veloped so much speed that her owner
was convinced that she could give the
Bonnie a close rub if she could not
beat her, and he has been anxious to
try conclusions; this desire on his part
resulting in the challenge for the cup,
which was the cause of this race
The event of yesterday proves his
belief in the sailing qualities of the
Gladys to be we'll founded, as she went
to the front before being fairly out of
the harbor, and was never headed from
that time
The boats got away we'll punched
the Bonnie crossing the line at 1:0:3,
followed by the Hawaii at 1907, the
Gladys at 1:0:10, and Marion at IL: O..
The Marion was little slow in get
ting a start, but was close on the heels
of the others. The Gladys rapidly
forged to the front, however, and
passed the spar buoy % seconds ahead
| of the Bonnie, and at the bell buoy was
| leading the Bonnie by 80 seconds, and
the Hawaii by $50. She steadily in
| creased her lead to windward, whicl

THE YACHT GLADYS.
Winner of the Hawaiian Challenge Cup, 1899.

! was a great surprise to most of the
spectators, as this has always been
the strongest point of the Bonnie's
sailing, she being able to outpoint all
competitors heretofore, but the Gladys
not only sailed as close to the wind as
the Bonnie, but distinctly outfooted
her, passing the Waterhouse place at
Waikiki Ais in the lead, and rounding
the stakebOat at 1890, followed by
the Bonnie at 1850, the Hawaii at
1:38: As, and the Marion at LAO: 80. The
Gladys broke out her spinnaker imme-
diately after rounding the Stakeboat,
as did the Bonnie and Hawaii. The
Bonnie also set her tOpsail, which was
distinct advantage over her competi-
tor, and she also had the additional
advantage of much larger spinnaker.
The Gladys carries no topsail and her
spinnaker is a surprisingly small one
for boat of her size. The additional
sail area told at once in the Bonnie S
favor, as the Gladys was no longer in
creasing the distance between them
All were now running free for the low
er stakeboat, off Pearl Harbor, and as
the yachts came down towards the bell
buoy with every stitch of canvass
drawing they presented a most beauti-
full sight, and expressions of admira-
ton were heard on all sides. The
Gladys had too great a lead to be head
ed and with a better breeze for a few
moments than the Bonnie apparently
had, managed to increase her lead to
AZ minutes at the bell buoy, passing
it at 1:45:15, with the Bonnie follow
ing at 1: 49: 45, the Hawaii at SO fiat,
and the Marion at 80
At 2:24:O the Gladys took in her
spinnaker and almost at the same mo-
ment ran into calm, just before
reaching the lower stakeboat She
could be seen swinging idly on the
swells with her sails tapping from
side TO side while her opponents were
bearing down on her at race-horse
speed. She finally rounded the stake
boat at 2:31:31 and stood directly in
shore. At 2: 80 fat the Bonnie furled
her spinnaker, rounding the stakeboat
1 minute later, having reduced the lead
of the Gladys to / minute and % sec
onds. The Hawaii had been doing
splendid work on the free run, and at
2:3S: 40 took in her spinnaker and i'm
mediately rounded the stakeboat, 6R
minutes later the Marion followed in
her path, but, unlike the other boats,

LONDON, May I7.--Queen Victoria laid
the foundation-stone OF the Victoria and
Albert Museum to-day. She drove
through streets lined with troops from
Buckingham Palace, the royal carriage
being escorted by a detachment of the
Life Guards. Her Majesty was accom-
panied by several princes and Processes
and other royal personages met her at
the museum, where a raised dais was re-
served for them. The ambassadors. mem
bers OF the Cabinet, and the leading state
officials occupied a pavilion at the site
of the museum.
Crowds Of people had been gathering
along the route from early morning, and
an enormous number had gathered by
the time the Queen started from the
palace, at AIS Z. NJ. The houses along
the route were decorated, and there y src
strings OF flags across the roads.
The ceremonies resembled a miniature
jubilee. American flags were conspicuous
among the decorations.
