the Resolute began very slowly to draw
clear OF the Vanitie and in his efforts
to make the Vanitic point higher. Capt.
Dennis pnChed her so that her ilb tom
sail was futtering constantly. The Reso-
Lutte gained a position dead to windward
of the Fanitie and the bronze yacht was
sailed full 10 get clear.
Ten tacks were made on the windward
leg and after the first hour the Resolute
widened the gap between the two very
fast. She took the port tack to fetch the
mark at :lO:lO and the Vanitic. then
about half mile astern. tackled at :l4:J5
Skipper Adams took no chances. lie gave
the mark lots of room and turned at
IL :42. The Resolutes boom was gybed
TO port and the spinnaker run IN and
broken out II took l minute - seconds
to get the big piece OF canvas up and
drawing. Then the jib was run down and
the balloon set. The spinnaker was
trimmed so that II spilled into the bal.
loon, and all her kites soon were drawing.
As the Vanitie took the last tack the
man at the lee backstay neglected TO
slacken It promptly and there was some
excitement on the yacht. She was luffed
sharply, which killed her Roadway. and
then bore off for the mark. which she
turned at :l6 :Oi on the turn to wind

NRnitie's Sails Up First.

II was cold and raw when the yachts
Vanitie towed from Gravesend Bay to
the Horseshoe, where she holsted her
mainsail and sent aloft her club topsail
Capt. Dennis wisely chose to do this In
the smooth waters inside the Hook The
Resolute took line from her tender, the
Cape Cod, and towed out shortly after .
o'clock, while the Nanitie was primping
and fussing with her sails The Defiance
fiance started TO sail out at about the
same time. The Vanitle broke out a lib
and fore staysail, and the Defiance used
"A jib and mainsail. The mainsail Is very
large and has more hoist than either Of
the other sloops. II has much more reach
or curve on the leech than the sails of the
Resolute or Vanitie, but this may have
been partly because her gan was not set
high enough at the peak. on the way out
the Vanitie easily sailed away from the
Defiance and the bronze yacht was first
at the starting line ready to race. On
board were Alexander Smith Cochran, r.
NJ Hoyt and II. +. Perkins The Vanitie's
malnsail set well. but there was room for
much improvement In her headsails and In
her club topssil.

The Vanitie was not handled we'll.
Things seemed to 90 wrong on that yacht
from the start. ON the first tack the
Resolute began to crawl out and Capt.
Dennis tackled 10 get away from her.
She was starved on the wind and her
jib topsll was constantly shaking with
little or no wind in II. When she took
the last tack to fetch the mark the lee
backstay was not Stacked up promptly
and Capt. Dennis had TO luff the zach;
sharply. This killed her way.
At the outer mark instead OF gybing
Capt. Dennis had the boom eased to star =
board and the spinnaker set on the port
side He figured on the wind hauuns
a point or two. but 1t held true through
on, the race, and after an hour. during
which the Resolute increased her lead,
the spinnaker OF the Vanitie was lowered.
her boom gybed over and the spinnaksr
was set on the starboard side. 1t took
three and half minutes to make this
change. After that the yacht materially
cut down the Resolute's" lead
The Defiance started but made a poor
showing. She went out under mainsaIl
and jih and the crew tried to set the club
topsail. Twice It was hoisted and lowered
and as II would not sheer down properly
an III fitting lib header or working top
sail was set instead, This seemed TO be
all that the yacht could carry. At the
start she split tacks with the other two
and stood in toward the land looking for
benefit from the ebb tide and perhaps u
shift In wind IT was impossible to COM
pare the speed she made with the others,
because they were never in close COM
pany and the Defiance got badly left by
her inshore tack. At II :37 o'clock she
pulled out throat ballard block and at
the same time weakness was discovered
in her bowsprit q. NJ. Pynchon and l..
Walter Clark, who were on board, feared
the mast might carry away. so the yacht
withdrew and towed home. The sailors
were busy making repairs when the other
yachts reached their anchorages, and the
Defiance will be ready to race to-day.

Capt. Dennis Guesscs wrongly.

They were SLOW on the Vanitie with
their spinnaker Instead OF gybing the
boom was cased off and in spite of this
II took three minutes to get the sail up
and broken out Capt Dennis had seen
the smoke Of some steamer nearer the
shore which indicated that the wind near
the shore was hauling west. That change,
however, did not reach out 20 the yachts
and after an hours sailing the spinnaker
OF the Nanitie was taken in the boom
gybed over and the sail reset on the star
board side. 1t took 3la minutes tu make
this change. As soon as IL was made
the Vanitie began to gain on the Resolute,
but II was too late. The Resolute with
all her big kites drawing, raced between
the Vanitas and the light vessel at
2:33 ;Os and the Vanitie crossed the line
at 2 :37 ;57. on the run home the Resolute
had gained 81 seconds. which was one OF
the surprising features OF the race. The
thermometer on Sandy Hook made the
velocity OF the wind twelve miles at noon
and fourteen miles at o'clock. Its d.
rection there was west at Q o'clock, so
that Capt. Dennis was justified In figuring
on the wind hauling out on the water.

Three Cup Defenders.

The white cup sloop Resolute won a
glorious race sailed OF Sandy Hook yes
terday. She defeated the Vanitie by I
minutes l6 seconds actual time and by I
minutes 90 seconds with her allowance.
The Defiance had a mishap and withdrew.
The race was fifteen miles to windward

the race. but she established a new rec
ord for the course She sailed faster
than any Americas cup race over a
wndward and leeward course ever was
sailed Her time was hours l6 minutes
~ seconds. The fastest cup race over a
similar course was sailed by the Vigilant
In 1898. In a strong easterly wind the
Vigilant's time was 3 hours 20 minutes
SO seconds The Resolute's time is faster
than this by minutes % seconds. Her
time is all the more remarkable when
1t Ii noted that the Nigilant was S6.l9
feet on the water line, while the Resolute
is IS feet. and the Viglant spread l1,272
square feet Of canvas against a little more
than 5000 on the Resolute.
VixiInnt and yaIkyrie EcIipsed.
Those pessimists who say that the
Shamrock ". will sail away with the
cup this year should ponder over these
figures The Vigilant in her race de-
feated the Vakyrie. The Valkyrie led
at the windward mark. but on the run
home carried away two spinnakers. The
Valkyrie's time to the windward mark
was hours 8 minutes 80 seconds. The
Resolute's time yesterday was hou-
55 minutes 10 seconds.
The yachts will race again to-day over
a triangular course OF ten miles TO each
leg. This makes the third victory for
the Resolute out of five races sailed. and
the Vanitle has won twice. So far they
have alternated In victories. 1t may be
the turn of the Vanltie to-day. These
races are only preliminary trials. Thes
were arranged In order that the managers
OF the yachts might find out how to trim
their yachts and exactly how to sail them.
Changes will be made continually until
all are satisfied that the racers are In
the hest possible condition. The Rcsolute
now has a single head rig This Is to be
changed next week for a double head rig
and she will be tried again. The real
racing will begin on July I on Newport,
and from that date every race will count.
IL was Resolute weather yesterday. the
conditions being ideal for the small sloop.
The wind blew eight miles an hour early
in the race. and the sea was smooth.
lust little ocean roll was coming in,
hut not enough to bother the yachts.
AS the race progressed the wind in
creased in strength until It blew about
aftee, miles an hour. This made some
small waves which were dotted with
whitecaps. 1t was anticipated that the
sea would be rough outside the Hook.
