YACHT RACE POSTPONED.
Toe Much Wind for Sir Thomas Of
Sandy Hook.

NEW YORK. August 29.-For the first
time in the history of the Americas cup
contest race has been postponed because
OF too much wind. The third of the present
series Of races was to have been sailed to-
day. Following the futile attempt of Thurs
day. when there was not enough wind to
complete the race within the time limit, it
was earnestly hoped by yachtsmen that
today's contest would be decisive and the
series completed
Ten hours after Thursdays drifting fall
ure a storm broke over the cup course and
ragged about Sandy Hook. The water was
tumbled into waves that troubled even an
ocean liner.
Blew More Than Forty Miles an Hour.
The wind blew with velocity estimated
between forty and fifty miles, and the rain
driven before 1t obscured the vision beyond
a mile or two.
Within the sheltering bend of Sandy
Hook, where the two racing yachts rode
at their moorines, the water was compara-
uVely quiet this morning. while across the
sandy peninsula on the ocean side the surf

Regatta Committee Meets.
AT o'clock the regatta committee met
at the New York Yacht Club house and de-
cided to postpone the race for the day.
The meeting was then adjourned until 1
pm, when a decision as to a race being
sailed Monday will be reached. In the
meantime a tug was sent to Sandy Hook
to secure the feeling of Mr. Iselin and Sir
Thomas Upton in the matter, and upon
the return of the tug definite action will be
taken. ~
Probably Monday.
A prominent member of the yacht club
said this morning that he was in favor of
race Monday. and now that Sir Thomas
has openly expressed himself upon the abili-
ties OF both boats. and acknowledged him
self defeated, 1t was thought advisable by
many Of the members of the yacht club
that the race be sailed Monday and the
series completed as soon as possible.
