TORONTO, Ont, Aug. 23.-Another vic
tory for Genesee, the American challen-
ger In Genesee weather, was the result
VI the contest today in the race for the
Canada's cup. The course today was nine
miles to windward and return. The chal-
lenger displayed unexpected windward
qualities, while the defender. on the 9TH
er hand, surprised all her admirers bv
ner speed in running
Up to II o'clock a little breeze was
ploWlng from the north, but it died away
just as the yachts reached the starting
buoy The start, which was to have TAX
en- place at i:3O, had to be postopend
The Chicago steam yacht Pathfinder
acted as judges boat again TODAY. She
nred first gun at 1870 a. m. and another
at 12:O5 The tug Austria, which I'D to
yesterday carried the judges, was sent
away with the buoy as the gun was fired.
Inc breeze had come up again from
the southWestward and the course of the
Duoy tug was about south by west.
Inc racers were sent over the line at
12:2O p. m. The Canadian boat, after some
clever maneuvers. was in the weather
position at the start, and led over the line
leeward, at once commenced to draw
ahead, and was loudly cheered
AT 12:45 Genesee had drawn far enough
ahead to cross Beavers bow and gain thu
weather gauge.
The breeze continued very light and the
Hanley boat both outpointed and outtack
ed the Canadian.
Between 2 and the breeze freshened
somewhat and Beaver began to gain. She
appeared to have a lead of nearly a mile
at times, but Genesee kept up to wind
ward. Beaver lost time at the outside
buoy by having to make two tacks to
the challenger's one, and was thus con-
s1derably astern. The Yankee jack tars
were very quick in setting their balloon
sail, but Beaver came right after and
held we'll up to windward.
Tho run home was d most trying one
for Skipper Jarvis was not beaten until
the very last second. When the yachts
were within half mile of the finishing
buoy they jibed over and ran spinnakeis
out to starboard. Jarvis attempted to
huff UP and blanket Genesee, and very
nearly succeeded The two yachts jibed
again and the attempt at blanketing was
repeated and again failed. Beaver was
too far astern. Finally Beaver came on
with her spinnaker to starboard, while
GeneSee travelled ahead with her Spinna-
ker to port. 1t was a very close finish,
80 close that those on shore were scarcely
able to tell which was ahead. The Amer
lean boat won, and was greeted with ire
mendous cheers from Canadians and
Americans alike.
Skipper Jarvis maneuVering of Beaver
when the yachts were reaching for the
finish buoy was clever, and every one be-
lieVed that in another quarter of a mile
he would have outdistanced Genesee and
won a victory. The latter's spinnaker
area has been increased, and it was ex-
pccted that she would make q better
showing than she did on the run. The
good showing she made in the windward
work was due, in part, to the fact that
she was scraped and pot-leaded on the
dry dock just before the race. She was
only taken off three hours before the
starting gun was fired, and was in the
very best condition.
Tomorrow race will again be over the
triangular course.

by the judges on the Pathfinder:
