Halifax. N. S., Oct. 28-Canada, rep i resented by the Lunenburg schooner Blue nose, won the international fsherman's race trophy off this port, defeating the Gl0ucesterman Elsie handily in the sec
 ond and deciding race of the champion
 ship series. BlucnOSc won the first race Saturday.
 Both races were sailed over 2 forty mile course anf~the United States craft took the lead on both occasions Then she was overhauled and passed by the heavier Canadian vessel and defeated de- Cisively. On Saturday the Elsie lost her topsail ill hard blow but skipper, Cap | tain Marty Welch admitted the mishap had little effect on the result. She un- doubtedly would have lost had her rig ging remained intact, he said Sportsnanship of high calibre entered
 into the events and the closeness of both
 contests gave the fsher-folk of Nova They sang the praises of Angus Walters the triumphant skipper, and they sang too the praises of Marty Welch, game and cheerful loser. We1ch was skipper on the Esperanto which defeated the Canad- ian Deyawana for the trophy in 1920. Jesting fishermen called the Bluenose a
 numbering ark" when she was in course of construction at Lunenburg last winter
 and these same testers were the loudeSt boosters after the Bluenose came over the finish line, 9 minutes and 31 seconds ahead of Elsie.
 The B1uenose proved just as much success today in light weather as on Sat urday when heavy winds prevailed. The Elsie crossed the starting line [ eight lengths ahead of the Bluenose and held the lead 1n the reaches of the first | three legs of the course, a total of slightly more than twenty-seven miles. The Bluenose was close at Elsie's heels all
 this way, however, and at the "outer blower" the fourth mark of the course, she fairly jumped at the Elsie, brushed the buoy and a few seconds later was seen to have rnanoeuvered to the weather
 position.
 Bluenose, longer beamier and deeper, was able to carry all the sail that Wal ters could crowd onto her. The schoon-
 CTS made long tack in shore, to the
 eastward of the harbor entrance, Bluenose steadily making out to weather. Welch,
 slightly advancing, on the tack but ap-
 parently half mile to leeward, was the
 first to come about, shaping his course
 for the fourth mark. Walters, not wanting to overshOot the mark, did not
 botser about keeping Welch under his
 lee as he was a good half mile ahead.
 He came about, too, held for the buoy
 and made 1t nicely.
 i Six miles from the finish line, Walters 1 kept on for the western shore. Holding in right under the Bucto Head, he ap-
 peared to have run Bluenose out of the
 best wind of the day. The squal1 had
 been topping nineteen knots, but now the
 challenger was standing almost straight f While Elsie, though still well in the rear, was laying over to the puffs.
 , But Walters was wise He gained his westing and coming about, headed for the l line five and a half miles up the harbor. coming about soon after passing the mark
 Both chaft were headed by the wind
 and the Bluenose made Lighthouse Cove,
 going over the shoal to make most of the
 tack, while Elsie had difficulty in clear
 ing Thrum Cap Shoal, mile and a half to leeward Another reach and they made
 for the line.
 The Canadian, a mile in the lead and everything drawing, crossed at 2 Fl Al, while steamers whistled a greeting, drowning the shouts of thousands that lined the shore. Elsie crossing at ? :31:- 12, received a similar welcome. She had sailed plucky race and proved herself glorious, even III defeat.
 The Bluenose won because she was the faster boat" said Walters, her skip Der. Elsie led on the first legs benefit ing by the light wind. 1 had hoped to beat Elsie by at least half an hour, but that fellow Welch IS great sailor
