NEWPORT. July io-The Rosolute drifted
around u triangle Of thirty miles to-day
and administered most disgraceful
beating to the Nanitic and Defiance II
was the first race Of the series arranged
by the New York Yacht Club. ~ times
during the day Il looked as II there would
be no race because tho yachts would have
trouble to finish within the time limit Of
six hours but after turning the second
mark the wind increased somewhat in
strength and the Resolute was able to get
home after sailing thirty miles In hours
rs minutes \ seconds She had beaten
the Nanltie II minutes 81 seconds actual
time The Defiance was 20 minutes 10
seconds astern at the second mark and she
did not finish the race.
The preparatory signal was made at
IL rs o'clock. and tho yachts, after send
ing up small jih topsails. began to ma
npuvrc for position AT the start. The line
was laid east and west. with the Nanadis
at the eastern end. and all three reached
to tho west. The Defiance kept closer 20
the line hut the Nanitie and Resolute,
disregarding the other yacht. had nice
little scrap to the westward of the line.
Shortly before ;he starting signal at
$40 all three broke out their topsails
That on the Defiance was a very small
Yacht in race. The Nanitie's was "A
little larger and that of the Resolu'e was
about the size OF No. .. All three were
heading for the line on the starboard tack
with the Defiance leading. followed by the
Resolute and then the Nanitlc The Reso-
Lutte bore off to keep away from the De-
tance and the Vanitic moved into second
place The Defiance was little too soon
and had TO reach down the line. and when
the signal came she hauled Ser wind and
crossed about the middle of the line 1T
. 80 :25. The Naniti" then was close up
to thu weather mark and she crossed at
IL 30 :s3. The Resoluie stu loafing
crossed In the Nanitie's wake at IL 81 :2@
The Nantie took the port tack as soon
as she was over the line and held 1T for
three minutes. when she went back to tn"
starboard tack. and then all three yachts
were heading southeast with the Nanitc
in tho windward position The Rcsolute
set sail after the Defiance. and very
soon she had drawn NJ I" weather or
the Tri-City Yacht Having outsatled
the Defiance. sh" tackled ana went after
the Vanitie. but as she nesred that yacht
she was forced To- tack again. as sh"
could not cross her. However. few
minutes later she took the port tack
again. heading to the southwest. aud this
time she forced the Nanitie about and hat
gained the lead. Until That time. Mr.
Adams had been sailing the Resolutc
very close to the wind. hut as soon as
he had gained decided advantage he
kept the yachts headsails full and steadily
drew away.
on the starbonrd tack the yachts were
heading into rolling swell. aud the Nani-
tie. on account of her long ends and
full quarter was bothered the most. She
would sail well Tor q moment or two
and then, lifting her bow until all her
headsalls shook IN the air, would stop
only TO jump of again as she slid down
bIlt iutn tho trough Of the sea The
