FIRST RACE FOR CUP
IN SEVENTEEN YEARS

Sandy Hook, n. j., July 15.-A yacht
ing armada gathered off the Hook today
for the first Americas Cup race in seven
teen years.
Private craft, excursion boats and air
planes speeding southwark across New
York bav found nesting behind the great
sand spit two sloops that are the pride of
Britain and America IN,
challenger, with sleek green sides, and
Resolute, defender, dazzling in her coat
of white.
Aboard them were Captain William
p. Burton and his crew of British tars,
and Captain Charles Francis Adams, 3D.
of Boston with his Yankee sailormen.
White clad figures gazed aloft, scanning
the heavens for clouds that betokened
winds favorable or unfavorable.
With the start set for noon from the
Ambrose Channel light vessel, the rival
shippers conversed with their navigators
regarding weather and wind conditions
which would determine the course to be
set them by the race committee. They
knew that the rules called for windward
and leeward course of thirty miles but by
the direction of the wind alone would the
course be charted.
Both shippers were hopeful of bringing
the races to brisk and decisive close
with three straight victories, but both
were prepared to sail five races and to start
all over again another day if race was
declared off because the yachts failed
to finish within the six-hour limit.
