The Livonia “Ifull Down” as the Sappho Passes the Home Stakeboat. ANOTHER LETTER FROM MR. ASHBURY. The Dauntless to Sail the Livonia To-Day. The public interest in the international races for the possession of the so-called “Queen’s Cup" cul- minated yesterday in the signal defeat of the British yacht. Four contests out of the seven generously allowed to be sailed by the Committee of Arrange- ments have been won by American vessels, and the prize still remains in the hands of the New York Yacht Club. The decisive victory achieved by tne Sappho yesterday at once blighted the hopes of the aspiring owner of the Livonia for this season at least, and triumphantly terminated a series of contests wluch, however interesting as yachting éxhibitions, gave rise to little speculation from the scart. Satis- factory conclusions, however, may be deduced from the races, inasmuch as it has been clearly proved that our keel as well as our Contre-board yachts are superior not only on the glad waters of the “light green,’’ but also on the dafk blue sea, nd that the happy combination, the juste milieu of heam and ballast, the type of American yachts, is far ahead of the simple element of ballast alone, 7 oS DAN square topsaiis. Conatngs round the Hook the Sappho went wing and wing, her example betng subsequently followed by Livonia. ‘The race to the lightship was devoid of interest, 89 the Sappho continued to gain rapidly, all chances of the Livonia deing at an end. ‘The wind, more- over, began to die o1 nd the vessel4 approached the higntship at a comparatively siow rate. All the steamboats had congregated in the vicinity of the vurning point, awaiting the advent of the competing vessels, and as the Sappho approached ahead thera was of course vociferous cheering and other con- gratulatory demonstrauions, The foliowing shows the time and order in which the yachts rounded THE LIGHTSHIP:— uth west Spitin the return homeward. The sappho was gaining all the time, and even now it was pretty clear that unless some unforseen accident should occur the Livonia was destined to be defeated tn a very decisive manner. After stretching off to the southward the Sappho tacked at 1:48 P. M., the Livoma going about shortly afterwards, pointin, towards Coney Island, doubtiess with the hope ol catching the flood tide in that direction, The wind headed both vessels off for @ time, At 2:27 P. M. the Livonia tacked and seemed fo have a nice breeze, A few minutes later the Sappho went about again, and, haying rounaed the Hook, tacked at 2:42 P. M. for the buoy, which she subsequently fetched in good style, At this stage the Livonia was almost hull down. She went about at 2:44 P. M. but was afterwards compelled to make two more tacks in order to weather the Southwest Spit, As the Sappho turned it for home she was received with lively demonstrations from all quarters, The time recorded was as follows:— HM. & HM. &.

The ocean race for the ground, opposite the New York Yacht Club House. Vice Commodore Douglas was promptly informed that the Sappho was the vessel selected to sail against the Livonia, and preparations for the event were at once made on board the former cratt. The prospects of a fine race were very encouraging, there being at the time a good whole sail breeze from the westward, The members of the Com- mittee, by the way, were congratulating them- selves on the fact that the contest would be alto- gether a speedy affair, and lost but little time in getting the competing vessels in readiness, The surroundings were gay and enlivening as whe accompanying steamers, crowded with spectators, came hurrying tothe scene, There were among others the Magenta, which looked a dark mass; the Arrowsmith, D, R. Martin, Ante- lope, Rastern Queen, Josephine and twice as many tugboats. all laden with passengers, who anxiously awaited the start. There was undoubtedly a larger number of people witnessed the race yesterday than has hitherto attended any of the contests, the general interest being of course centred in what was supposed to be the “wind up” of the series, it was a glorious morning—bright, cheerful and breezy—and such as to indicate a pleasant day tor all hands Quietly riding at anchor Jay the four vessels nominated by the committee as the competitors of the Livonta, and most noticeable of all was the gallant Columpia, which was deservedly saluted by enthusiastic cheers from the crowds on the passing steamers.

The Livonta, with her curved bowsprit, like a handsome Roman nose, lay at anchor nearest the shore, and, having tossed lor position, she re- matned where she was, on the weatner side of her op- nent. Anticipating a good stiff breeze, she had er loretopmast snugly housed, Alithe prelimin- artes having beeu finally arranged, the colors were hauled down on the committee boat at 11:16 A. M. as @ signal to prepare, and five minutes later a shrill whistle advised the yachts to be oil. THE START, The tide was on the last of the ebb, the wind be- ing nearly due west. Up went the jibs on both vessels with commendable rapidity. It was the de- sire of the committee to start the contestants as near together a3 possible, swinging to the south, Scarcely had the signal been given when the wind Iniied. With remarkably good luck the Livonia, free and clear, took a nice flaw, weat about to the northward, and filled away, passing the stakeboat in fine shape. ‘The Sappho still hung on her anchor, with her mainsail to windward. An etiort was made to swing to the southward, so that she might pay off in that alrection, but, as the wind continued to be unfavorable to her movements, she finally let go the anchor, and, having paid off to the northward, stood in shore and went about. Meanwnile the Livonia had got & magnificent send-off, being nearly three minutes anead in the staft and weil setiled to her work before the Sappho got fairly under way. eo Livonia dispensed with her square-headed topsaii and carried tnstead a jil-headed maintopsail. On the Sappho were her working tupsails, having also her staysail jib and jibtopsall, all of which filled beautifully a8 she went in hot haste alter her oppo- nent. ‘Ihe spectacle was exceedingly effective, and, amid tremendous cheering, the competing ves- sels beaded towards the Narrows. ‘Tne Livonia had the lead of fully half a mile, and the question uppermost in the minds of the spectators we ag to the exact point at which the Sappho would overhaul and pass her, And now the breeze began to freshen, and as it did the excitement on the steamers increased. With rails under water the two yachts went iike UA hounds, the appearance of both of them all the while eliciting expressions oF decided gratification, The Livonia passed Fort Richmond at 11:27 A. M., and the Sappho about a minute and @ half later, show- ing that she was overhadling her with rapid strides, Nothing could be more magnificent than the specta- cle presented as the two vessels issued THROUGH THE NARROWS. It was evident that the Sappho was fast crawling up on her adversary and at the same time eating to windward. The breeze iucreased, and once fairly clear of the land the race was reslly beautiful to behold. Approaching the West Bank the Sappho sailed gloriously, nor did the Livonia show any symptoms of surrendering, but, on the con- trary, stood up splendidly, and to those unac- quainted with the extraordinary prowess of the Sappho looked every inch ike the win- ning craft. She was apparently resolved not to allow the Sappho to get to windward, and to that end kept close up, Which probably retarded her speed. However, the Sappho gained on her, creep- ing up on her leeward A igh in gallant style. At 1:45 A. M. the Livonia ‘7 the hospital, the Sappho being barely half a minute astern. Six minutes later both vessels were abreast, and as the Sappho finally shot past the Livonia the greaiest enthusiasin was displayed on board the accompany- ing steamers, It may be stated that once the Sappho got abead all anxiety @s to the resuit of the contest was atanend. At 11:46 A.M, the Sappho passed the nospital ship Miinots, the Livonia being about haifa minute astern.
