 Herald trophy. Captain AnEus Wal ters gets anosher captains cup.
 Walters aud his fellow Lunenburg- eYs. making the most of the weather known on the banks as the fisher rnaa's chSrNo, blow high blow low, today scored a second success against the Henry Ford. American challeng- CT, and Captain Clayton Morrissey and his crew Of Gloucestermen. The mar gin was one of : minutes. 51 seconds about the sarae as the Bluenose lead of yesterday. These successive victor ies served to surpass the advantage held by the Gloucester boat, which bad won the first race only to lose it pm a technicality and which won again at the next meeting.
 MaIloeh Sails the Ford
 Captain Morrissey himself took lit- He part in the activities of the day being doubled up as the result of recurring Illness. In his place Captain Al Malloch, one of Gloucester hard jest drivers had the wheel much of the time.
 Fast Time Made
 Todav's was another smashing con- fest A northwestern that ran from a moderate speed at the start up to 2s knots blew the boats about the 70 mile course in the fastest time at tained 10 date, 4 hours, AS minutes, ss seconds, for the Bluenose, hours 56 minutes 29 seconds for the Henry Ford This was an advantage speed for the winning schooner of 7.2 min utes to the mile, speedy sailing with a one mile beat to the windward in- cIuding-that final three or four miles of extra sailing.
 On this windward leg, a dead mug bier, the shippers tried to carry too much sail As a result the Henry Ford lost her foretopmast, which snapped half way to. the peek, carrying with 1t foregaff topsail and ballooner. The shippers would not muzzle, so the wind did it for them, the Bluenose parting a ballooner stay which. serv- ing as a warning. caused Captain An gus not to use the sails correspond ing to those lost to the Gloucester man. He modestly disclaimed intent at colAztAsv or sportsmanship, saying he took the sails down when he found they were no good to him.
 Morrissey to Challenge Again
 Tonight Captain Morrissey said he was going to challenge the Bluenose skipper to another race. T raced af- ter winning the first two times. We have now won two each. l hope An gus will meet me again he said.
 With negotiations pending for a race between the Bluenose and May flower, the latter the Boston schoon- CT which has been outlawed from the international competition, there was in prospect a contest for the cham pionship of the North Atlantic fisher ies, with a possible fourth contend CT. Captain Ben Pine said he would ask to have the schooner Elizabeth Howard included in such a race If held. it will probably take place off here Saturday.
 Before either Bluenose or Henry Ford can race again, however, they must be hauled out and scraped. Keel damages delayed each this morning. Boats Close Together for 30 Miles
 The margin at the finish today was no mark of the keenness of the com petition. For nearly 30 miles the boats were within biscuit toss of each oth- CT. The accident which cost the Hen " Ford some of her top hamper mark ed the stage where racing separation changed seconds to minutes. Not that 1t handicapped her for more than a few seconds in the seven minutes that it took three men in the rigging to clear the wreckage away, but it came
  nose is past mistress and with an in- crease iH winG which also served the Lunenburger best
 The First Leg
 The B1uenose had shown herself surprisingly fast in the smooth seas and light wind on the first leg, 3 close reach She had gained a 15 sec ond advantage, and the weather berth Tt hB ufn in irh al Az gus out guessed the man at the Glou- cesterman's wheel. But at the turr she led only by 50 seconds in addi- ton to this lead start.
 On the second leg of ten miles, g comfortable reach, they fought it out across the wind and the Henry ForC pushed up almost on even terms. Or this leg she gained 3S seconds and al the turn her bowsprit almost .swept the Bluenose stern as they jibed round the buoy, 27 seconds only between foremast and foremast.
 On the third leg. another stretch of plain sailing, a broad reach, they were separated only by seconds al the way.
 When the breeze became fairly con. Btant at higher velocity, however, tht Biuenose tore along at 14 to 15 knot, speed. The men Of the Ford were call cd to the leeward rail for a main hau and the big sheet was brought in tt try more concentrated power. Angu. followed the maneuvre. They were still seconds apart.
 Trimming sheets, and swinginI around, starting the long beat with ; board on the port tack, by hte wind Bluenose led by 5S seconds. The Lun fsrah r.oir Ia encountered better than the Henry Ford which was awash to her comb ings.
 HeSVy Wind Bends Sticks
 The Bluenose foretopmast showed signs of buckling, however, and the, were in the process of trimming tn, sail when the big ballooners blev out, tied by a single string. The sig nal was dfsregarded on the Glouces terman, which was crowding on al possible sail and holding better thai expected against the Bluenose on tn windward work. It was only momen pr two later that the foretopmas snapped. and the accident occurre, which, although it lost some headway was somewhat of a blessing in dis Euise.
 Two light sails lost, the Henry For footed faster than before, an indica tion that the fishermen in their pol icy of tanning on sail had not con Bidered the efficiency of a little trim ming. Angus was quick to see tn point and within a few minutes hai trimmed his dres9 accordingly.
