Marblehead. Mass. Sept. 6-The Vim. owned
by Commodore Park OF the American Yacht
Club Of New York. won the third race Of the
series between the German and American yachts
for the Roosevelt Cup. and thereby earned a
second leg on the coveted trophy and further
established the superiority OF the American
yachts over the German challengers.
The victory of the Vim was made certain a
mile and half from the finish by the with
drawal Of the AUX. owned by Charles Francis
Adams. I'd. Of Boston. and the winner OF the
first race Of the series. The AUX withdrew be-
cause she fouled the Vim. The action OF her
owner in voluntarily surrendering his oppor-
tunity OF taking the race was generally hailed
as most conspicuOusly sportsmanIike act The
withdrawal Obviated the usual contest over
protest.

man yacht GlUeckauf brought up the rear nearly
two minutes astern OF the Wannsee.
Inc race to-day was practically a contest be-
tween the American boats the Vim and the
Aux, and II has been many day since the spec
tators witnessed a yacht race closely and
or the AUX there was no way OF ascertaining
which Of the two would have won the race IN
windward work the Vim was easily the Auk's
superior. This was particularly true the first
time out 70 the weather mark, when the Vim
sailed right away from the Adams boat and
rounded the mark 1 minutes 43 seconds in the
lead.
on the final leg Of the race the AUX pulled up
on the Vim. and IL was then the accident oc-

OF the German challengers the best sailing to-
day was by the Tilly VI The other German
boats. the Wannsee and the Gltckauf ", were
always In the background On both beats to
wtndward the Tilly VI held far offshOre and
showed 10 advantage. II was generally thought
that the sailing OF the Tilly VI was the most
slilful shown by the foreigners since the series
started.
The day was a most beautiful one for yacht
ing. and n big feet OF pleasure craft witnessed
the contest. The two revenue cutters kept the
course well cleared, and there was a fine
we'll nigh perfect. The course was a triangular
one Of seven and a half miles. over which the
yachts sailed twice.
Governor Curtis Guild tr and staff witnessed
the regatta from the bridge OF the naval brigade
