The ReS0lute Beats the
Vanitie on Her Merits

There was fine breeze from the south
southwest when the Resolute and the
Vsnitie reached the Ambrose Lightship.
and II held true.
At 1890 the code hags, hoisted on board
the steam yacht Vanadis, anchored to the
westward OF the lightship, showed that
the regatta committee had elected TO send
the Yachts over a triangular course. the
first leg Of which was to be south-south-
west. one-half west: the second east, one
half north. and the third northwest by
north. A windward course OF fifteen miles
would have brought the yachts too close
10 the New Jersey beach.
Promptly al 1915 the preparatory whis-
tie sounded, while the warning signal was
given ten minutes later. Then followed
the usual jockeying for position, and Cap
tain Adams gained the weather berth for
the Rcsolute and slipped across the line
with the Vanitie so close under her Zee
that she followed only three seconds be
hind.
Ii was the closest and most sensational
start Of any race Of the series. Three min
utes after the start roth yachts sped
alorg with lee rails level with the water
and not more than fifty feet between
them.
The ResoMte. however. outpointed the
Gardner boat. and at 1860 Captain
Dennis put his helm hard down and shot
the Nanitie across the Resolute's wake
TO the port tack
In 90 seconds the Resolute was about
and full on the same tack. All hands
not engaged i'm watching the head sheets
lay fat under the weather rail on both
yachts The wind remained true at south
so that both yachts made good
a west southwest course in the smooth
water.

gave the Vanitie a North River luf'' al
1850. but the former also luffed a
few seconds later, but did not let her
fiji on the other tack when he saw the
bronze sloop keep OFF 10 her original
course. Both went back 20 the starboard
tack in 30 seconds, and il was plain that
the Resolute had gained by the
manmuvre by shooting TO windward far
Their than the Vanitie when she luffcd.
The wind fell lighter for a time. but
both yachts had an equal chance at what
wind there was, with the first mark In
sight about mile beyond the Shrews-
bury Rocks bell buoy. and four miles off
shore. They wore around the mark
leaving il TO port. both yachts being on
he starboard tack The times taken at
me mark were as follows:

TO the finish, with booms to starboard and
reaching jib topsails aloft
The wind fell lighter after six miles had
been covered. While the breeze held
strong the Nanitie overhauled the HERE

gained IS seconds on this reach. although
in time she was minutes - seconds

While the Resolute broke no records on
Sandy Hook yesterday, she sailed a re-

She defeated the Vanitie squarely on
her merits at the start and in the wind

Later. however, the wind lightened ana
