The division that bore in toward the

..ns and Jared far better than the
..L.rs n was here that the scrap be-

e;ehtb places in to-day's windward and
,ssward struggle the British scored
10 points. The American boats, finish
- third, fourth, fifth and seventh,
seA cred in II. This makes the total
..aye for the five races read: United
ssates. 81; Great Britain, 81.
This means that England must place
tsr boats first, second, third and fourth
tomorrow in order to lift the cup. III
she does this she will win the trophy
IS the narrow margin of single point.
The frst four places would give the
United Kingdom 26 points and a final
.sore Of 108. The four last places
would add 10 points to the present
tassl Of the United States, making her
ssal count 107. If one of the Ameri-
an boats places, in the first four to-
sorrow the United States will win the
HE state of affairs that exists to-
s;ght is due solely to the foul COM
r;tted in yesterdays race by Harry B.
piant's Clytie, one of the American
e,atenders. She was disqualified after
finishing third. But for that incident
new international yachting trophy
vosid have been in Uncle Sans pos
session at the conclusion of to-day's
battle.
Britain's weather boats performed
splendidly to-day on the wings of a
f,tsen.knot breeze that was a little
ssst Of south and strong enough to
lick up a sea of sparkling white sps.
Reg Is CIeverly Sailed
Reg, the property of Norman Clark
gsll and sailed by Captain w. T.
hnn, of the Royal Engineers, was the
sisaer of to-day's slashing contest
tisr as clever a piece of sailing as has
sen seen on Long Island Sound in
bng, long while. Reg, glutton for
Sugh weather, finished ten seconds
head of Cola III, owned by F. j.
ssephen and sailed by his son, John G.
5tephen.
The Grebe, owned by R. De Board
nan and E. Townsend Irwin, was third,
Dnly ffty-one seconds back of the
coila. The Grebe was designed for the
sort of weather that prevailed to-day,
md, sailed by Dick Boardmans she put
y gallant struggle for first place,
ii was outsailed on every leg by the
Csha and on two of them by the Reg.
Esprit, owned by William Hamlin
talds and sailed by Butler Whiting,
sme in fourth and was the second
american boat to cross the line. She
vas minute % seconds astern of the
G.sbe. The Lea, owned by ]. F. Ber-
bingham and sailed by Sherman Hoyt,
sas only fourteen seconds back of
Esprit. w. f. Robertson's Caryl was
!he third English boat to finish, coming
In sixth. Harry B. Plants Clytie was
seventh, and w. F. Robertson's jean
Eas last.
The race was sailed over course of
Twelve nautical miles, the boats be-
Ing sent three miles to windward and
return twice over. The starting line
was about two miles off Shippan Point,
Sanford, and the weather mark bore
southwest by south of there. The first
and third legs were windward thrashes
into the teeth of sizzling breeze that
laid lee rails under every tack.
British Ambassador Sees Race
decidedly interested and enthusi-
tstlc witness of England's spectacular
victory to-day was Sir w. Auckland
Gsddes, British Ambassador to the
United States. He was guest aboard
Harold Pratt's Dodger Sd, which flew
3 huge Union Jack and the Burgee of
The Seawanhaka Corinthin Yacht Club,
hnder whose auspices the international
races are being held.
To-day's race was won and lost on
the windward legs. The first of these
vas desperate duel for the weather
between. Grebe and Cola. The same
pair battled it out hitch for hitch in
the second thrash and it was here
mat the almost unnoticed Reg came
through with a couple of long tacks
down the Long Island shore that en-
abled her to round the mark in first
place.
The start of the race was the finest
nf the entire series. 1t saw the eight
saehts going over the line almost
sbreast and on the starboard tack.
CCaryl was on the windward end of the
hae and Reg on the leeward. Shortly
tterward the fleet divided up into two
divisions, Grebe, Reg, L'Esprit and
saila standing in toward the Long
ana Jean tackled to the, westward.
I'VE did It that way for a decade
before the war. Then along came the
adannson law. We didn't want 1t; we
aldnt ask for it. President Wilson
tao it passed to halt the strike that
vas vas then impending and it accom-
pushed that purpose.
