C(contInued from Flrst page.l

not far off shore were the six contend CTS for the days event. The German challengers lilly VI. and Wannsee and the American defender Aux lay hun dred yards off the Eastern Yacht club float, the black leaded hull of the Aux making a dark contrast with the polish ed mahogany colored sides of the two foreign yachts. Farther out and snug ly resting beneath the wing of big protecting houseboat was the Caramba, the second American defender, while up at the head of the harbor far out of the way of the big vessels was moor ed the Vim, the third American boat. The sixth yacht the Glueckauff, which came so near yesterday to belying the name, which means good luck" was in the repairer's hands at o'clock this morning, although only the closest and most minute inspection revealed the patch deftly inserted over the hole punctured in falling off the cradle. An hour later the Glueckauf was carefully let into the water, and joined her sis i ters opposite the club. As all the yachts were in perfect trim, there was little to do on them this morning.
 At the start, which was 11:10 a. m, the wind blew at a rate of from 12 to 15 miles an hour directly from the southwest, but when the yachts were ready for the second time over the triangular course an IS knot breeze was running. Rain fell during the greater part of the time, but just before the Aux reached the finish line the sun broke through the clouds and the fin ish was magnificent picture.
 The race was twice over a triangular course of 1-2 miles to leg, making total distance of 15 miles, and the first leg was to windward. There were many scores of yachts, large and small, on hand, their decks filled with people eager to see the race. The rev enue cutters Gresham and Dexter were kept busy for half an hour prior to the start getting the course clear of small craft.
 The six yachts started with Wannsee berthed in the weather position, while Caramba was furthest to the leeward. Vim was about ten seconds behind Wannsee when she crossed the line, but she was berthed nicely on the weather quarter of the German yacht. Imme- diately after getting clear of the com mittee Skipper Bucknam of the Vim came out on the port tack and got his wind clear, while Aux had to fight her way out from under the lee of Gluec- kauf nv. Skipper Adams gave Aux a good rap full when he got clear of the fleet, and tackled to port to windward of Vim's wake
 Aux pulled away rapidly from Gluec- kauf, and before the race was on twen- ty minutes 1t was easily seen that the battle was to be one between the two American craft.
 l Vim took long board to port to- ward Marblehead Neck, and came about across the bow of Aux by mar row margin. Adams held on until the weather of Vim's wake was made, and then tackled ship The two leaders held the starboard tack until very close to the first turning mark, and a hundred yards from 1t Aux passed Vim, and was in first place, turning the. mark lat 11:50:25. Vim turned 10 seconds later. Wannsee, the third boat round- ed at 11:54:04; Caramlba at 11:56:27; Glueckauf ". at 11;57:40, and lilly VI. at 12:OO:24.
 The second leg was a broad reach, and at this kind of work Aux dropped the Vim very fast. When the Adams boat was we'll on her way toward the finish line after rounding the second mark, the fresh breeze induced her skipper to lower his throat and tie two reefs in the mainsail. Still Aux crept away from Vim, and was 1 minute and 22 seconds ahead of her when she haul ed sheets around the flag mark, and Started over the course for the sec- ond time.
 The official time over the course for the first round was: Aux, 12:30:06; Vim, 12:31:2S; Wannsee, 12:35:52.
