PRICED CUP WILL STAY IN
SAN DIEGO
VISITING YACHTS DISQUALIFIED
BY ACCIDENT
Second Victory for Or. Gahan's Speedy
Vessel Gives Southern Coast
Yachtsmen Victory In
First Annual Race
fBy Associated Press, I

SAN DIEGO, Aug 6.-The Upton
cup. will remain in San Diego, Little
Trilby having scored a second victory
In today's race, result, however, that
would be more satisfactory to local
yachtsmen had it not been attended
with except. nally hard luck for the
South Coast visiting yachts, Mischief
II being disqualified for fouling Gret-
chen, and Skidoo parting her port
throat halyards just as she was In q
commanding position and had a good
chance to win.
The starting gun was fred at !
o'clock and Trilby and Mischief went
over the line neck and neck. the others
following close behind.
The yachts we're soon well scattered
over the ocean. Then came the first
mishap of the day, when the launch
Mckinley fouled Mischief II. 1t was
decided as a result that unless Mis-
chief II should win, the race should
be sailed over. This became unneces-
sary as Mischief II later disqualified
herself as already stated.
The yachts neared the turning mark
near the kelp. Trilby and Mischief III
had luffing match, with barely
enough room for another boat between
Trllby's stern and the stake. Into this
gap shot Aeolus, and barely missing
foul, turned and broke out q spin
maker for the run home.
Trilby and Mischief II followed and
the three were running almost side
by side when they met the Gretchen
coming up. The latter's deck was
raked by the Mischief's boom and there
was a bad mix-up. Mischief ii got
clear, but it was a hopeless foul and
she was disqualified.
It was then that Skidoo met with
her mishap and the race was left for
the Aeolus and Trilby. On the second
round the Aeolus was overhauling the
Trilby when the final mishap OF the
day occurred, the Aeolus breaking the
starboard spreader on her mast and
being compelled to drop canvas and
anchor.
TrIlby came home after the third
turn an easy winner without time al
lowance. Columbne was her nearest
competitor. The Trilby's actual time
for the twelve miles was 2:29:59 and her
corrected time 2: 1884. Columbine's
corrected time, 2:3616.
