German Yacht Wannssee Won the
Fourtn--At No Time Yesterday Was
the Vim In Danger Of Being Beaten.
Crossed the Finish Line Four Min
utes Ahead Of the AUX.
Marblehead, Mass, Sept II. - The
Roosevelt cup, presented by the East
ern Yacht club, to inaugurate yacht
ing contests between Germany and
America, was won yesterday by the
American yacht Vim, owned by Com
modore T. L. Park of the American
Iacnt club of New York. BY taking
the last race the Vim scored her third
victory, which gave her owner the
much priced cup, as well as the honor
of showing that his yacht was the best
all around craft Of the six that start
ed to race in the series begun week
ago.
The Vim won the second, third and
fifth While the AUX captured the first
race and the Wannssee the fourth.
The designer of the Vim was Will
lam Gardner and Clifford Bucknam
was in command.
At no time after the first mark had
been passed yesterday was the Vim in
danger of being beaten. She led the
AUX, the second boat, by more than a
minute when the weather turn was
reached, and she sailed so fast on the
next two legs that she was nearly five
minutes ahead when the first round
OF the triangular course was COM
pleted.
On the second beat over the wind
ward leg the AUX gained 40 seconds on
the Vim, chiefly because she caught a
couple of favorable slants of wind that
lifted her out nicely.
The Vim still had a long lead when
sheets were eased again for the close
reach TO the second mark and she in
creased the advantage considerably be-
fore the turn was reached.
On the broad reach over the last leg
for the final time it was test of sea-
