Chicago. Aug. l5.-The Canadian yacht
invader won again yesterday in a grand
race and the Canada's cup goes back
across the border. but accompanied by
five challenges. Captain VIM. Hale
Thompson and the crew OF the defeated
Cadillac were beaten at all points Of the
game by the more skillful Canadian
skipper and sailors.
Both the Chicago and Columbia Yacht
clubs challenged Immediately for the cup
The Rochester Yacht club and two Do
troit yacht clubs also challenged. Tho
Canadian commodore says he can not tell
which of the five will be given preference.
That Captain Jarvis and his skilled and
we'll trained crew deserves most Of the
credit for the Invaders success is the al
most unanimous opinion Of experienced
yachtsmen who have watched closely the
series of races and no question is more
often asked than whether the winner is
really the better yacht.
The Invader was designed by Sibbeck
OF Ryde, England. From mis- design and
plans the boat was built by James An
drews of Oakville. Ontario.
Yesterdays race was announced as nine
nautical miles to windward and return.
At 1920 a. M, the captains were given
their course southeast by south, which
was dead to windward, but the breeze
was not stronger than Ave miles an hour
Cadillac got the better Of the start
crossing the line on the starboard
tack with Invader under her lee ana
blanketed.
The starting line crossed. Captain Jar
Wis naturally went about under Cadillac's
stern for a short point tack Of about 800
feet and being thereby assured Of the
weather berth he went about on the STAR
board tack again and stood after his
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 at 11:47:55. The
challenger had been footing so well and
pointing the higher that she already held
a good windward position and just crosse
ed Cadillac's bows. They were close
abeam and being blanketed Captain
Thompson had to bear away to get the
breeze. Captain Jarvis held Invader high.
Mile after mile they held one another
close. Cadillac was constantly losing a
little to leeward.
At 1907 p. M, Invader having passed
to leeward Of the buoy went in stays
to weather it which she did at 40 and
five seconds later jibed over home at a
fair clip.
At 1:59:10 Cadillac having passed to
leeward of the buoy, went about to
weather it and did so at 1:59:45. But the
defender failed to jibe so well and, as
usual, bungled the spinnaker. which took
almost two minutes to fully break out.
Captain Thompson shifted his spinnaker
to leeward, drawing 1t across his balloon
jib. This did not do any good and the
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 mile astern Invader, now be-
gan to pick up bit. but did not look like
winner at any time and Captain Jarvis
took his boat over the line an easy VIM
ner two minutes and twenty seconds
ahead of Cadillac.
The elapsed time was: Invader 3:37:3S:
Cadillac 3:39:58.
