JnaDlc to overcome Leau hetd by
 Her Rival.
 Rye, N. Y, June 3.-A moderate southwester early today was more candidates Resolute and Vanitie for their second contest in the prelimi- nary series. Especially was this so after yesterdays double battle in which the yachts not only struggled against one another, but fought baf- fling winds almost the entire race which the Vanitie won by 13 minutes and AS seconds in elapsed time.
 Minor Changes Expected.
 The two contenders spent the night behind the breakwater in Glen Cove. On each boat a few minor changes were made for the race today.
 Designer Herreshoff spent the night on board the Resolutes tender, Cape Cod. and held long conference with Robert w. Emmons, manager. Both agreed that the Resolute showed plenty of speed in the first two legs of yesterdays race, but that in the light, fiuctuating airs later in the day the Vanitie "outlucked" them.
 Canvas Badly Wrfnlkled.
 This morning the Vanities crew took long, strong pull at the out haul on the foot of the mainsail, for the big sheet of canvas was badly wrinkled yesterday. Captain Dennis said it would probably have to be recut. He laughed at the sugges- tion that he was very fortunate yes- terday in picking up the favorable streaks. The faster boat always has the luck,' he remarked with a twinkle in his eye.
 Another triangular course was ex- pected for today's race, with the start off Parsonage Point at the end of Rye Neck. There were, however. a dozen courses available dependable on the wind.
 The preparatory signal was blown and blue peter ball was hoisted on the regatta committee boat promptly at noon. Both yachts were to wealth CT of the committee boat standing toward Long Island on the starboard tack.
