Disappointment

Rye. y. j., June 23.-All three of

and longest victory over the yanite.
which seemed slower than usual while
the Defiance which had a chance for
the first time to show her worth, proved
a disappointment.
The Defiance finished % minutes and 10
seconds behind the Resolute, and min
utes and As seconds after the Vanitie.
The Resolute won the race by 16 min
utes and 2 seconds in corrected time over
the Vanitie and by 20 minutes and l.
seconds over the Defiance. The Defiance
slipped across the starting line 26 Sec
onds ahead of the Vanitie and a minute
and ) seconds to the good over the Reso-
Lutte. Five minutes after the start the
positions were completely reversed. A
procession soon developed and the onll
question was the amount of the Reso-
lute's margin at the finish.
When the first round of the 15-mile tri-
angle had been completed the Defiance
was 10 minutes and Il seconds astern of
the Resoute. just before the Resoluts
reached the second mark, the Definand
tackled around the first one. AS miles
astern, with Vanite about half way be-
tween.
The last leg, five miles back across tho
sound, was a nerve racking one for
those on the Resolute for the wind left
her completely while the Vanitie. pick
ing up new breeze, began to draw up
rs pidiy. Two miles from the finish the
Resolutes lead was less than a half mile
over the Vanitie. and astern the Def
ance was showing her best work of the
day Fortunately for the Resolute, a
breeze came putting along and picking
up the air she slipped across the line
an hour and a half before sunset. The
Resolute sailed today's race with double
head sail rig. The Defiance sailed as
knockabout.
