THE VIM WON AGAIN TO-DAY

Marblehead, Mass, Sept 6-Gover
 nors day in the German-Americar
 yacht race series was ushered in to
 day with clear skies, fresh southwes, winds and smooth seas.
 In the light of the first two races oi
 the series the conditions again favor.
 ed the American boats. Still there
 seemed to be general desire that the
 foreign boats might win one race,
 and as great preparations had been
 made for the reception to Governor
 Guild today and an illumination in honor of the German visitors this ey-
 enlng hope was expressed by many this morning that this might be the day for a German victory.
 Marblehead harbor was crowded with yachts when the sun rose this
 morning. A dozen large schooners,
 score of steam yachts and small
 navy of little crafts of all descriptions
 fioated on Its placid surface. Close in
 shore lay the three German yachts
 easily recognized now by their ma
 hogany colored sides and light green decks.
 The American yachts spent the night at their customary anchorage
 far up at the head of the harbor.
 The crews of all six yachts were about the first ones out of bed. and two hours before the start was made for IT olfuy0v rncly frro <,,. fbrao of tho yachts were making sail stretching spins about the harbnr.
 The Vim which won yesterdays race. was especially active in these preliminary motions. Designer Gard ner, strangely enough, expressed some disappointment over yesterdays con test and said this morning that the Vim would have to go faster. Her new mainsail was therefore overhaul ed this morning and couple of bat tens put In the leach.
 The Wannsee's sail was also changed bit, but nothing was done to make 1t flow better, and old Am erican yachtsnen expressed the opin- ion that the foreign yachts would nev- CT win with their sails cut so fiat.
 Some of the yachtsmen. eager to get as much sport as possible out. of the event have suggested that before the German yachts left, race be ar ranged for all six yachts with the crews changed md the Germans sail ing the American yachts.
 The Stone wireless also reported mix-up between the German boats TtS1I,, a0A Uyo = = una {,,u< hof0rc tho start. The toppln6 lift of the lilly caHxnt in ethH afUrestay Qf. the Wann-- see anti iuufed-the latter Goat SsrUund. The two yachts cleared, however, be- fore. the starting signal was sounded and the Wannsee was able to get good berth at the line. At 11:30. twenty minutes after the start, the Vim was apparently leading the fleet.
 A little later 1t was evident that the three American boats were once more leading the foreigners, the Vim first, Carmba second and the Aux third.
 The wind increased gradually dur Ing the forenoon from six miles an hour at Colors to about 13 at 10 o'clock. There was haze on the wa ter but not sufficient to prevent the yachts laying their course for the mark without the aid of compass.
 For the first time in the series the Germans were somewhat slow in starting. The American Vim. yester- days winner. was one of the first boats to leave. followed closely by the German yacht Wannsee. The other Glueckauf and lilly VI, however did not get away from their until nearly 10 o'clock. while | the other two American boats. Aux | and Caramba brought up the rear.
 On getting out to Halfway rock | the committee found the wind about | southwest and at 10:40 signals were hoIsted for triangular race of 15 | miles with two and half miles to q leg and twice around. The commit lee also signalled the first leg as southwest with the idea of giving the Tachts beat to the first mark. each to the second and another reach pack to the starting point. The wind 'ell of trifie as the yachts manoe- 'ured for positions and shortly before Il o'clock 1t was scarcely more than  miles an hour on shore.
 The two preparatory signals were ounded at 11O5 and five minutes ater the yachts were sent away. All vent over the line on the starboard ack. hut one of the Germans was a rife ahead of the whistle and had Q return. The Vim and Aux cross II the line almost together and very oon the Aux tackled to port and cross sl the bow of the wannssee. On get ing out from the committee boat early all the yachts tackled to port nd headed in shore. looking for a elpful pun of wind.
 The Stone wireless reported that it ras the Glucckauf that went over the me ahead of tho signal ana had to re- urn. She was handicapped nearly a minute because of tine anxiety of her kipper to ge. the best Dlace.
 Vim won the race with Tilley Mum CT (. second
