EMPEROR'S SYACHT DEFEATED
BUILT METEOR LOSES
 ON TIME ALLOWANCE
British Vessel CAcely Takes Big Schooner Knee in tue rnternatiOnal Regatta Off Ktei-Protest Filed by the Clara and Judges Reserve Their Decision-Ftne Showing by American Boats.

Kiel, June 27.-Emperor Williams | built schooner yacht Meteor,
 with the emperor himself on board and steering most of the time, finished
 seven minutes and twenty-two seconds
 ahead of the Cicely in the large schoon- CT race held here to-day in connection l with the international regattat. The Cicely is owned by Cecil Quentin of England and was designed by Fife Under her time allowance, however, the Cicely claims the race by one min
 ute and eleven seconds. The judges
 have reserved decision because of a
 protest entered by M. Guileamme, the
 owner of the Clara, which was also in
 the race, who ayers that the rules re-
 quired the Cicely to carry two anchors
 at her bow instead of one. The race
 will be given to the Cicely unless she
 is ruled out.
 The Empress and Freulein Gerstoff,
 one of her ladies in waiting, were on
 board the Meteor during the race. The
 contest was trial between American
 and English built boats. The Meteor,
 the Idiuna, belonging to the Empress,
 the Iasca and the Northwest are Amer ican built yachts while the Cicely and
 the Clara are of English construction. Some of the best English saiing talent was in command; the Cicely was sailed
 by Captain Wringe and the Meteor, whose crew is largely English, by Cap tain Parker. Henry Barbey of New York, who was associated with Archi- bald Cary Smith in designing the Me teor, saw the race from an excursion steamer.
 The course was thirty miles, and moderate breeze was blowing. The Me teor crossed the line almost with the flash of the gun and in the weather berth and soon drew out in the lead with the Cicely under her lee. The first leg was a twelve mile beat to wind ward The Cicely was quicker in stays than the Meteor; she soon took the lead and rounded the mark a minute and a half ahead of the Emperor's yacht The second leg was an easy seven mile reach on the port tack. The Meteor overhauled the Cicely on this leg and rounded the mark two minutes and twenty-five seconds ahead of the Fife boat The whole race was duel between these two yachts, the other boats trailing from three to four min utes behind them. On the long run hom the Meteor steadily increased her lead. All the yachts used their spin makers over part of the course.
 The Navahoe, formerly owned by Royal Phelps Carroll of the New York Yacht club, and the Comet, recently presented by Emperor William to the German navy. were entered for the race in which the Meteor and the Cicely took part but as they were yawl-rig- ged. the Emperor directed that they sail in a separate class. This was done and | the Navaboe and the Comet started | over the course at the same time as did the sehooners.
 The Navahoe finished five minutes | and fifteen seconds before the Meteor, | and she would consequently, have won the race had she not been directed tf sail in the separate class.
 The Virginia II, owned by Isaac stern of New York, won the class four lup, carrying the Stairs and Stripes across the line two minutes and thirty ,ix seconds ahead of the Mimosa, and i've minutes and twenty-siX seconds ihead of tLe Novella. Seven yachts started in this race. The Virginia II vas manoeuvred by "Tom" Draper, rom Iitchen village, near Southamp- on, Eng, where so many yacht skip )ers are trained
