MARALRWKAD. MAsa. Sept. S.-Thls was
New Works. day In the yachting contests
for the Roosevelt cup. The Vim won, and
Won cisteriy through the way she was sailed
by chford Buchanan. She turned defeat
into victory. as she was . beatsn boat at the
end % the hrst round. Boston was second,
with thu Caramba, owned by y. n. w. Foster.
AMI these tWO boats take the two prizes
offered BY the Eastern Yacht Club for to-day's
contest. The Aux, owned by Charles Francis
Adams, H., the winner Of Mondays race
In the strong wind, was third. and then came
the 0stmAns.
II must not be imagined that the German
boats did not do anything. They surprised
not only ths American yAchtsme ca but their
owners, too. by the way they sailed in the
light atrs. and showed that In light weather
they ere more TO be feared than In strong
winds and they are likely TO prove partiou-
larry dangerous when there 10 q bob on the
sea.
The course to-day vas to Windward and
return. The vindward leg was three miles
long, % the course was sailed twice over.
At the start the wind was very light. blow.
ing about Ave miles an hour. and II was
streaky. TOO. The fight to the weather mark
was q hot one. and the wannsee and Gluck-
suf at times led In the race. Mr.. Adams, by
his usual skilful sailing worked the Aux
through the Gains. and into the. light airs
and succeeded In turning the weather mark
first by D SINAI margin. with the Caramba
second AMI vim third. On the run home
the Csrambe' outran the AUX and led at the
home mark; but in running the German boats
made their best showing.

Between the hrst and the NTH boats there
was only I minute and rs seconds. The
wind had freshened. and 1t blew about ten
miles an hour and later increased 20 fourteen
miles. and the Vim gave q hne exhibition Of
sailing, She soon pulled through the lee
OF the CAramba and then had a tussle with
the Aux. and turned the weather mark In the
lead. The Carsmba made q slight gain on
the run home. but she could not catch the
vim, Although she passed the AUX. IL was
rumored this evening that the Vim had luck
because Of the tiny strins 20 Of baby ribbon
she hsW from her shrouds. IL 10 generally
thought here that the Anal result Of the races
will be between the Vim and the Aux, and the
Vim n the favorite.
