TRANSATLANTIC YACHT RACE.
Fleet Becalmed I'm Heavy Fog on
Sandy Hook.

Navesink, Highlands, n. j., May
16.-The Kaiser's cup contest, the
first open transatlantic yacht race
ever sailed, started from the Sandy
Hook lightship at $3.50 this afternoon.
Eleven yachts started in the 5000
miles contest which will end at the
rocky Lodges of Lizard, off the coast
of England.
\ nasty wet fog hung like blanket
over the sea this morning. An early
morning breeze out of the southwest
died away to practically a calm. The
committee in charge will send the
yachts away unless in a dead flat
calm, which will make steerageway
impossible.
Start in a Fog.
At 1880 the fog is still heavy and
wind light, from the northeast.
The Atlantic was the first boat to
start for the line, going out under
tow. The Atlantic. Hildegarde, En-
dymion, Ailsa and Hamburg. The
Valhaila is believed by competent
judges to have the best chances in the
race.
Becalmed I'm Fog.
The fog is so thick the vision is
obscured 40 feet away The wind
has breezed up bit. but the prospects
for a start today are small.
