ance cf one minute and forty-two sec
onds to win. In only two of the races
has the Resolute sailed to victory on a
hoat-to- boat basis
Three of the remaining seven races
were taken by the Nanitie officially. her
lead at the finish being so great that
the Herrshotf boats time allowance
could not save her. In three of the
other contests the Nanitie finished
ahead, but not by sufficient margin 10
overcome her handicap. The Nanitie' 5
victories have been of the most clean
cut and decisive variety, and they have
seen her showing the way to the Reso-
Lutte in the very points of sailing in
which the latter was supposed to be
unconquerable.
In the triangular race of June 9,
which went to the Resolute by the mar
row margin of ffty-seven seconds, as
the result of her time allowance, the
Vanitie not only finished in front, hut
broke the worlds record tor the dis
tance made by the old Columbia in
October, 1901.
What the remaining contests be-
tween the two cup candidates Will
bring forth is problematical, hut the
experts believe that if the sailing con
ditions are equalized the Gardner boat
should leave Newport on June 26 with
majority of the victories to hen
