CHICAGO Aug. 13.-William Hale
Thompson, Cadillac's skipper, presented
Invader with the third race of the inter-
national yachting match for the Canada s
cup by fouling the Canadian boat at the
start in full view of the judges and most
of the spectators. Capt. Aemilius Jarvis,
of Invader declined to fly his protest
flag, but the judges steamed after Cadil-
lac and notified Capt. Thompson that
they disqualified his boat, whereupon
Cadillac was jibed around and left the
race. Invader sailed over the course and
was raced by Milwaukee, the Oshkosh
boat that so hotly contested with Cadil-
lac the honor of defending the cup and
the sailing match was followed all round
the triangular course of tWenty-one nau-
tical miles by the usual feet of steam
and sailing yachts. Invader beat the Osh-
kosh boat handsomely at all points of
sailing in light wind. Capt Jarvis said
after he got ashore that he felt no salts
faction getting cup race in this way, but
that he was pleased that his boat had had
an opportunity to beat Milwaukee. Judge
Warner, speaking officially, gave it out
that the unfortunate accident was Capt.
Thompson's own fault, and that the
judges had no course left open to them
but to disqualify the defender. Commo-
dore Gooderham, of the Royal Canadian
Yacht club, said he regretted sincerely

Cadillac, after leaving the race, was
hailed by representatives of the press
but Capt Thompson declined to say any
thing except that the judges had dis
qualified Cadillac.
To impartial spectators II was clear
that the clever Canadian skipper had
outwitted Thompson, and that the latter,

upon him, tried to force his way through
instead of coming about under Invaders
stern.
Capt Thompson came down towards
the starting line on the port tack, meet
ing Invader on the opposite tack just be-
fore they got to the line and close to
the buoy. Cadillac of course, was trap
ped, unless Capt. Thompson brought his
boat about under Invaders stern. If ne
tried to come about on starboard tack
under Invaders lee, he ran the risk of
fouling either that boat or the buoy as
he wore around. To be forced to come
about and cross under Invaders stern
right on the line, no doubt was a bitter
pill for racing skipper to have to swal-
low, so Thompson elected to squeeze
through, while he had no chance, and
the consequence was he plainly fouled
his rival.
Capt. Jarvis at once luffed his boat to
save her as much as possible, and one Of
Cadillac's crew tried all he could to fend
Invader off with his hands.
Cadillac, after getting off Invaders
bows, was to the weather of her when
they got going again. Invader bore away
with Cadillac right on top of her Sec
ing that his rival was shutting off half
his wind, Capt Jarvis came about and
crossed astern of Cadillac splitting
tacks.
The defender held on the starboard tack
a little further and then also went about
on the starboard tack. Capt. Jarvis at
once brought Invader about again on
the starboard tack, so that with the right
of way he might meet Cadillac and force
her about. This he did successfully, and
with Cadillac under his lee, the Canadian
skipper went on about his business and
soon went further to windward while
footing as fast as his rival. By this time
the judges boat had weighed anchor and
was steaming after the racers, steaming
for Cadillac, alongside of which it ran,
and the officials lost no time in notifying
Thompson that his boat was disqualified.
He at once bore away, jibed around and
