CHICAGO, Aug 1.-THE Canadian
yacht Invader won again today in a
grand race and the Canada's cup goes
back across the border, but accompanied
by five challenges. So manfully was it
won and so thoroughly was the victory
earned, that he would be but a poor
sportsman who could begrudge the Royal
Canadian Yacht club one iota of the joy
and pride of victory. Capt. William Hale
Thompson and the crew of the defeated
Cadillac are crestfallen at the result OF
the international sailing match, and it
seems to be generally felt that they have
reason to hang their heads, for they were
beaten at all points of the game by the
more skillful Canadian skipper and
sailors.
Chicago yachtsmen are not dismayed,
and both the Chicago and Columbia
yacht clubs challenged Immediately for
the cup. Each club sent a challenge di-
rect to Toronto Immediately after the
race, at the same time handling Commo-
dore Gooderham, of the Royal Canadian
Yacht club, a duplicate The Rochester
Yacht club also challenged at once and
so did two Detroit yacht clubs The Cana
dian commodore says he cannot tell
which of the five will be given prefer
ence.
1t is asserted quite frequently that Mil
waukee yachtsmen find some consolation
al
many Detroit, Rochester and Chicago
yachtsmen are not grieving over In
vader's victory, while those who feel sim
eerely sorry for the loss of the cup de-
clare their belief it will give a great i'm
petus to yachting on the great lakes
That Capt. Jarvis and his skilled and
Well trained crew deserve most of the
credit for Invaders success is the almost
unanimous opinion of experienced Yachts
men. who have watched closely the series
OF races, and the question most often
asked tonight is whether the winner is
really the better yacht. Those who have
held that Hanley centerboard is irwin
chile in the thirty fve-foot class find il
hard to acknowledge that the latest ere
alton OF the famous Massachusetts de-
signer and builder is inferior to fnkeeI
boat-an English cutter drawn bv an
EhSnsh deslgner-and they give Can't
jarvis and his men all the credit In
Vader. the challenger and winner of tbc
cup, was designed by Sibbick. of Ryde
England, whose name now becomes as
Famous on this side of the Atlantic as
at nome. From his design and plans the
boat was built eXcellently by James An
dreWs, of OakvilIe, Ont and naenii
Gently sailed by Capt Aemilius Jarvis
charles Lowndes, Vincent Hughes lanes
McMur and Fred Turner, all Toronto
amateur yachtsmen, and William Fisher
toronto professional. 1t is now known
that the challenger exceeds the limit of
thIrty-nve feet racing length by about
half foot. while the defender was three
lnches over the limit before being allow
ed to add to it's jib and use a longer spin-
maker boom. Today's race was announced
as nine nautical miles to windward and
return. W
AL I;D a. IN. the captains were given
their course southeast by south which
was dead to windward but the breeze
was no stronger than five

Win invader under his lee and Blanket

vas naturally went about under Cadillac's
stern for short port tack Of abou+ 9O0
feet, and being thereby assured of the
weather berth he went about on the
starooard tack again and stood after bie
rival. They were heading almost east
northeast, and held this tack for mile
or more When due north of the four
mile crib. Cadillac was first about ~
r:47:55. The challenger had been ' Gooti1 at
sa We'll and pointing so much
the higher that she already
held good windward position
and Just crossed Cadnlacs bows. They
were close abeam, and being blanketed
capt. thompson had to bear away to get
tne breeze. Capt. Jarvis held Invader
hish. Mile after mile they held one an

was tossing little to leeward though
roofing Just trifle the faster. The
breeze held fairly steady though at times
the boats got slightly different slants of
wind
At 1:15 p m. Cadillac did what might
nave nave peen done with advantage long be-
fore, namely trimmed it's crew along the
IeeWard rail. The Hanley boat at once
pointed higher but at that Invader kept
Well to weather.
AT l:57 p. m. Invader having passed to
Reward of the buoy, went in STAYS to
weather it, which she did at 1:57:4O. and
hVe seconds later jibed over and broke
out her spinnaker to starboard. doing il
all very smartly, and squaring away for
home at a fair clip
At 1870 p. m Cadillac, having pass
ed to leeward of the buoy. went about
to weather it, and did so at 1:5945 But
the defender failed to jibe so well, and
as usual bungled the spinnaker. which
took almost two minutes to fully break
out
Capt. Thompson shifted his spinnaker
to leeward, drawing it across his balloon
jib. This did not do any good. and
Invader plainly was walking away from
the defender. The breeze steadied down
from the east northeast, freshening to at
least ten miles an hour, and they got it
just abaft the beam. Invader continued
to gain.
About half way home Cadillac. which
was half a mile astern of Invader,
began to pick up bit, but not enough
to look like winner at any time and
Capt. Jarvis took his boat over the line
an easy winner 2 minutes 20 seconds
ahead of Cadillac. His great victory was
heartily greeted with a storm of cheers
and steam whistles.
The clever Canadian skipper and his
crew received their congratulations mod
~ a.
thing more than that they were glad 10
win such a sportsmanlike contest. and
praised the very fair manner in which
the Chicago Yacht club had treated them
throughout.
