The shortening of the hours of service
from seventy-two week, exclusive OF

Great Britain Winner in Second Yacht
 Race With U. 5.
By Associated Press

Oyster Bay, N. r., September H. Great Britain won the second race today in the contests being helh orr this place for the British American cup for six metre yachts by score of 20 to It. Despite the victory or the Great Britain four, which is de- lending the championship trophy, the United States team which won the opening race on Saturday, PC to 10, IS still leading in the series by grand total of AZ to 30.
 The British victory today was largely due to the skillful handling on the second weather leg of the Jean and Coila, two of the visiting craft. Apparently hopelessly beaten in this leg. the two boats split tacks with the balance of the fleet and standing to the eastward, found breeze which brought the yachts in- to second and third places at the mark and from that point they were never headed by the American craft.
 As on Saturday. J. F. Berming- hams Lea, sailed by Vice Commo- dore c. sherman Hoyt, was the first yacht across the finish line. Then came Jean, Coila and Reg, all Brit ish craft. clyti, the second Ameri- can yacht to finish, was fifth. Then came L'Esprit, another one of the American team. The seventh yacht was Caryl. with Grehe trailing the fleet across the finish line.
 The third race will be sailed to- morrow,
