GLOUCESTER, Mass., October 11.— A failing breeze ended the second scheduled race between the big Cana- dian fisherman Blue Nose and the Gertrude L. Thebaud, Gloucester’s hope of international fisherman’s honors, when the contest was little more than half sailed. The performance of Blue Nose was such an improvement, how- ever, over that of Thursday, when she was defeated by Thebaud in the open- ing race, that tonight she loomed as a dangerous conténder. Although Blue Nose has been con- sidered a heavy weather boat, and The- baud was thought to hold all the ad- vantage' in light going, Blue Nose to- day, in a breeze that sometimes fell as Jow as 5 miles an hour, was never motre than 4 minutes, 10 seconds be- hind the Gloucester boat. At one time she was within hailing distance, and at the 12-mile mark she was only a minute and 44 seconds behind the ‘Thebaud. ‘The fishermen themdelves called off the race when they sgw they could not finish within the six-hour time limit. In consideration of the Blue Nosé's crew, who a church-going lot when their calling permits, there will be no race tomorrow. The next contest will be sailed Monday. It will be for the Race Committee to decide whether it will be sailed in local waters or off Halifax. Another two out of three se- ries is scheduled off that port after the present séries has been disposed of. Capt. Angus Walters was jubilant tonight over the improvement in his vessel. Much of it he attributed to the skill of Marian Cooney, local sail- maker, who yesterday recut Blue Nose's canvas. All of Blue Nose's sails were found to be too large in the opening contest, and her main topsail seemed 8 bit too large today. Cooney took that away to his sall loft this eVening. Capt. Ben Pine, Thébaud's veteran , had the better of the start as he did in the opening con- Thursday. Again he led the Canadian boat over the line by about & minute. He had much headway on Blue Nose and rapidly piled up a very comfortable lead, while Capt. Angus had cut that lead to 1 minute 44 sec- onds at the 12-mile mark. Capt/ Ben stretched it out again to 4 minutes 10 marker reached by the schooners be- fore they turned back to port. They were about half way along the open- ing leg of the second circuit of the 18- mile triangle when the skippers saw it was futile to continue. A.U.
