“CENTENNIAL ST. LEGER. The Hundredth Race on Doncaster Moor. CRAIG MILLAR THE WINNER. A Good Contest--Distinguished Attendance. SEYMOUR BREAKS DOWN. Characteristics of Sporting in Yorkshire. PEDIGREE OF THE VICTOR. Doncaster, Sept. 15, 1875, Next tothe Derby the greatest race ran in England Is the St. Leger, which is decided on the Town Moor at Doncaster, This event came off to-day and was won by. Mr. Crawfurd’s colt Craig Millar, The weather was dull, she wind east and showers fell in the mofning ‘THR ATTENDANCE. The number of people present was, as usual, exceed- ingly great and the excitement ran very high, Every- body who pretended to be anybody at all in Yorkshire was present, From the loud-speaking farmer who possesses a decent grazing holding in the West Riding up to the speculative baronet there they were inthe ring or in their traps round wbout the course, Among the notabilities was the Right Hon, Benjamin Disraeli, who was the guest of Lord Scarborough. Many French people of distinc- tion witnessed the unanticipated defeat of the horses from their country, prominent in the group being Princess Hatzfeld, Princess Jarrowgenski, Counts La- grange, Berteaux, Schondouf, Deguoy and Decastelane, The English nobility had as representatives Dukes Westminster and St, Albans, Lords Hartingdon, Lons- falo, Roseberry, Fitzwilliams, Lacetles, Wilton, West- moreland, Harewood, Bradford, Feversham, together with Admiral Rous and the Hungarian Prince Solykom, BETTING BEFORE THE START, The betting before the race was 4 tol against Sey- mour, 6 to1 against Earl of Dartrey and Craig Millar, 7 tol against Gilbert, 9 to 1 against Dreadnaught, 10 to 1 against St. Leger, 12 to 1 against Balfe, 20 to 1 against Rabagas II., 25 to 1 against Perkin Warbeck and St, Cyr and 40 to 1 against all the others. THE RACK. Thirteen of the 193 nominations came to the post. ‘When the flag fell Seymour made the running for the grand field, but was closely pressed by Craig Millar, Balfe and Earl of Dartrey, the others not being consid- ered worthy of more than passing notice. Seymour sontinued to show the way to within two distances of home, when he broke down and Craig Millar, Balfe and Earl of Dartrey quickly sent him to the rear, when, ‘with a magnificent but short struggle with Bulfe for the post of honor, Craig Millar demonstrated his superiority and finally landed an easy winner by three lengths, with Balfe second and Earl of Dartrey third, closeup. The latter ran well for the bookmakers, Seymour would have won the race had he not met with the serious mishap, and even then he finished seventh, The French candidates,.of whom so much bad been pre- dicted, were never dangerous. Challoner rode the winner, Cannon had the mount on Balfe and Goater on Earl of Dartrey. Time of the race, 3:20. “NorTH” AND “SOUTH” STYLES, To an observant Englishman it is curious to notice the differences of taste, manner and custom that pre- vailin what Dibdin called this ‘tight little island’ of ours, The southern Englishman goes to the west of his country for a day and he finds there a class of people that apparently have no earthly connection with him except that very general blood relationship which makes men fellow countrymen. Their language is different to his in so. far that it is dificult for him to understand what they say. Their taste is so far opposed to his that he cannot live with them with anything like comfort for a longer period than he is com- pelled to, Their manner strikes him as odd and singu- lar, and their customs are simply unbearable. He goes to the north of the island and things become worse. ‘Their language, taste and manners are still more owré, and he can’t bear them. Of course, the western or the sorthern man who visits the south of England experi- ences the same awkwardness and inconvenience; but the very fact that he does so simply carries out what I say—viz., that Englishmen have nothing common in their character, except patriotism, which, as all the world knows, is a very strong feeling indeed with them, How different, for instance, is the class of people one meets with at Doncaster compared to that we see at Epsom on a Derby Day. The northern sport- ing man—not exactly the northern betting man, but the man who likes sport for the sport itself— man of serious mien, who goes to the races to enjoy the sport, lay what he can afford upon his favorite animal and ex- ult if a local horse wins. In the south of England the Derby Day is the signal for the appearance of a class of people who know as much about horses as they do about Chinese metaphysics, and who ajmply visit a race course tor the purpose of indulging their never ceasing horse play and making those who prefer sport to foolishness miserable. The Town Moor of Don- caster has for me many more agreeable phases than the Downs of Epsom, ORDERLY DONCASTER. At Doncaster everything is orderly; but go to Epsom and you find disorder being made more disorderly by every individual man who visits the course, The St. Leger is what metropolitan writers would call the “northern car- nival,” and happily there is nothing synonymous with the Cockney carnival in it. They know more about racing and like it much better at Doncaster than they do at Epsom. Tho people who see the St, Leger are brusque in their manners, coarse in speech, perhaps, and they treat aman who attempts to ‘do’ them with summary justice; but there is something more genu- inely hearty and open, something more of stanch, busi- hess-like capabilities in them than in the people who go to Epsom Downs, And what a wonderful place is Don- caster on a St, Leger Day! The town is the centre ofa net- work of railways that to-day were pouring in people by the thousandg with a promptivude and facility that causes one to wonder how the porters and railway ofti- Clals generally are abie to cope with their difficulties, ‘Tho stranger standing upon the platform, as I did this morning, when the trains from the north and the | midddle of Eugland were rushing in their various and loud-epeaking passengers, whose voices almost put Into the shade the shrill whistle of the engines, with Mheir Babel of talk, might suppose that in that small station everything was loft to fate, But the singular regularity with which the time bill—and the officials at the station are usually provided with special broad shocts of the most elaborate description, which they con with a very be- wildered look—is fullowed through in all its intricacies, proves that order more than the Fates is the rule of the day. Along time before the hour fixed for the commencement of the raciag the principal thorough- fares of the ancient and quaint-looking town are densely crowded, en before the bell for the first race sounded there were thousan’ on the moor, MOKK WORK THAN PLAY, Everybody is serious and unxious about the proceed. fas of tho day, The chances of the various candidates | ter, NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, SEPTEMB are discussed with great earnestness by the men fre- quenters of the course, and even the female visitors speak with a volubility about northern horses and Yorkshire horse owners that surprises anybody who is new to this busy scene, But we are not exactly used to the scene, We remember last year when Apology passed the winning post a length and a half in front of Leolinus, and we have now ‘a vivid recollection of the yell of triumph with which the Yorkshire people greeted the victory of the Yorkshire horse. We recollect, too, the scene in the town when it was reported that the reverend owner of Apology (poor Mr. King, who has since been gathered to his fathers) had scratched his horse on the morning of the race. But the real good cheer that met Apology when she appeared to do her preliminary canter more than compensated for the bad words that had been spent upon her owner when this ominous rumor was frst bruited. Johnny Osborne, who carried Apology to victory, would have been hugged to death by the sober Yorkshire dames, if he had not, in self-de- fence, “made himself scarce.” As it was, he was roughly enough treated, in a kindly way, when he was leading his panting horse into the ring. : LACKING SENSATIONAL FEATURES, This year’s St. Leger -has not been so sensational as last, but it has been sensational enough. The seratch- ing of Camballo, the winner of the Two Thousand Guineas, created good dealof excitement, ‘Since his victory in that race, which is usually considered to be a key to the Derby, Camballo has been in good work ‘and was considered at one time a ‘moral’ for the St, Leger; but the formation of his fect are greatly against training. He frequently cast shoes, on account of the brittle nature of his feet, and the following statement in the Sporting Times of Wednesday, August 25, will show the reason of his being scratched:—‘‘Nearly £1,000 of the large sum Camballo was backed for on Monday week was on account of the stable. Within forty-eight hours of this commission being worked the horse, it seems, slipped up while at exercise on the tan, and severely hurt the foot that was already weak, The result was worse than was at first antici- pated, and it was found necessary to strike him out of the race. Nota shilling of the large sum for which he had been backed was saved.” Another of the hot favorites, Per Se, who ran second in the Middle Park Plate and was first favorite for the One Thousand Guineas, but only could get second in that race, has since been scratched, owing to the eventualities oftraining, Altogether the race to-day, in the absence of many of the animals that were at one time great fav- orites, was considered a very open one, and the result justifies this, Perkin Warbeck was the only Yorkshire horse in the race, and, on account of his second rate quality, he was not much backed by the far-seeing Yorkshiremen, SUMMARY, The ninety-ninth renewal of the St. Leger Stakes of 25 sovs. each, for three-year-olds; colts to carry 122 Ibs. and fillies 117 lbs, ; the second to receive 200 sovs. and the third 100sovs. out gf the stakes; St. Leger Course (1 mile, 6 furlongs and 132 yards); 193 sub- scribers, of which fifteen were void by the death of the nominators, Value of the stakes, £4,450.

PREVIOUS PERFORMANCES, It is twenty years this month since Mr, W. S, Craw- furd, the owner of Craig Millar, gave 1,800 guineas for the yearling colt Lord of the Hills, own brother to Miss Bowzer. Mustard....... Lord of the Isles, who bad won the Two Thousand Guineas of that year. With this expensive purchase he had poor success; but, nothing daunted, Mr, Crawfurd continued to Invest largely at the yearling blood stock sales, and his colors have been seen in nearly all the great three-year-old events run on the English turfsince that time. His nearest approach to winning the Derby—the ambition | of all English turfmen—was his home bred colt, Gang Forward, who captured the Two Thousand Guineas in 1873 and ran a dead heat with Kaiser for second place, length and a half behind Doncas- the Derby winner of the game year. Mr. Crawfurd’s Palmerston ran second to Kingcraft in the Derby of 1870, but was beaten by four lengths, a performance, however, of dubious description com- pared with that of Gang Forward. In 1874 there was no three-year-old in this gentleman’s stable to take the place of the 1873 Two Thousand winner, but fortunately @ reliable two-year-old appeared in Craig Millar, who bid fair, and, as the result of to-day’s event proves, ably sustained the reputation of the fine racing estab- lishment, Craig Millar is by Blair Athol, out of Miss Roland, by Fitz Roland, out of Miss Bowzer, by Hes- perus, her dam, Mangosteen, by Emilius, from Mus- tard, by Merlin, He is a@ chestnut, with a bald face and two white heels. He stands a trifle over fifteen hands three inches, and boars a striking resemblance to his stable companion, Craig Millar’s first appearance on the turf was in the July Stakes, for two-year olds, run July 7, 1874, at New- market, where he met and was defeated by half a length by Camballo, while behind the pair were Garter. loy Bell, Baife and Mirliflor, In the Chesterfleld Stakes, Fun two days afterward, he failed to get a place, for Balfe, ER 16, 1879.—TRIPLE SHEET. the winner, completely “‘spread-eagled”’ the six which | second, Cariboo third, Coronet fourth, Modoc fifth and came out to oppose him, His next appearance was at Goodwood, where, opposed by Telescope, on whom the odds were five to two, and Fille du Ciel, he came home an easy winner by three _leng:ha. After a rest of a couple of months Mr, Crawfurd started the colt for the valuable Buckenham Post | Produce Stakes at Newmarket first October meeting, | and being opposed by only the moderate Yorkshire Bride and the Vertumna colt he had no difficulty in Janding the stakes and the odds laid on him, His next essay was Unsuccessful, being unplaced to Mirliflor for a post sweepstakes of 200 sovereigns each at the second October meeting, although the odds of two to one were in his favor. This was followed by his success in the Home Bred Foal Stakes, of 100 sovereigns each, his last ‘appearance for the season. This year he started for the Two Thousand Guineas at Newmarket, being second favorite, He failed, however, to figure prominently in the race, which was won by Cuamballo, He did not start for the Derby, and his next appearance was in the St. James’ Palace Stakes of 100 sovereigns each at Ascot. Bay of Naples and Garterly Bell were his only opponents, and after run- ning a dead heat with the first named he was defeated by three lengths in the deciding heat. Since then he has been reserved for the St. Leger, and as the odds against have been as much as fifty to one for some time past his popular owner has doubtless netted a hand- some aum, suflicient to recompense him for his previous disappointments, The success of Mr. Crawfurd will be ® popular one, as he runs his horses in the most straightforward manner, RACING A FLEETWOOD PARK, sonra FINE ATTENDANCE AND GOOD RUNNING—THREE CAPITAL CONTESTS—MOLLIE DARLING, SCRATCH AND CORONET THE WINNERS. The attendance at Flectwood Park yesterday after- noon, notwithstanding the threatening state of the weather, was very large, and the racing that came off ‘was of a most excellent quality. Three events were on the card, the first being a dash of a mile and an eighth, the second mile heats and the third a hurdle race of a mile and a half over six hurdles, In the first race there were four starters, comprising L. A. Hitchoock’s bay filly Mollie Darling, 4 years ld, carrying 96 Ibs,; M. Byrne’s chestnut horse Camden, aged, 110 Ibs.; E. K. Bingham’s chestnut horse Long Brangh, 5 years old, 95 Ibs., and John Coffee's bay colt by Panic, with a feather on his back. Mollie Darling was the favorite just before the start, Camden having had the call when the'pool selling first began. After a beautiful head and head struggle from start to Minish, Mollie Darling won the race, the Panic colt being third, ‘The second event had for starters Jo, Donahue’s bay colt Scratch, L. A, Hitchcock’s brown filly Lutetia H. and M. Byrne’s brown filly Nettie B, (formerly Ver- nango). The latter was a great favorite, Scratch being the second choice of the pool purchasers, Lutetia H. selling very low. The latter won the first heat, and then became the favorite over the field. Lutetia H. was beaten the second heat by Scratch, and then another change took place in the pool sales, the latter selling for $100 to $65. Scratch won the race, beating the filly very easily. The third race was a handicap for hurdles, one mile andahalf, For this affair six came to the post. These were George Langstaff’s bay horse Coronet, 5 years old, carrying 155 Ibs.; Jo. Donahue’s bay horse Cariboo, 5 years old, 163 Ibs.; A. H. Torrance’s bay horse Moon- Stone, aged, 158 Ibs.; L. A. Hitchcock’s chestnut filly Busy Bee, 4 years old, 122 Ibs. ; A. P. Green’s chestnut gelding Modoc, aged, 130 Ibs.; and M. J. Dufly’s bay gelding Vestivius, aged, 132 Ibs, Moonstone and Cari- boo alternated as favorites in the pool sales, Coronet being the third choice. After one of the most beauti- ful races that ever took place over hurdles, Coronet won the race by about half a length, Cariboo second, Moonstone third. Messrs. Johnson, Bassett and Lloyd were the judges. The following are the details:— THE FIRST RACK. Hanpicar vor att AGes—One mile and an eighth.

Running around the lower turn the struggle was well maintained between Mollie Darling and Camden, the filly laying at the latter's shoulder, the Panic colt six lengths behind, witn Long Branch a long way off. Com- ing up the hillon the backstretch Camden led half a length, but when the horses had ran a mile and re- turned to the piace of starting the filly proved the bet- ter horse, as she outran Camden from there to the stand, winning the race by nearly a length. The contest was a close one from beglnning to end. The Panic colt made @ good run up the backstretch, but he could not keep up the clip long enough to overtake the others, He was beaten six lengths at the finish by Camden.

They came into the homestretch head and head, and ran in this way to the last hurdle at the drawgate. Coronet and Cariboo jumped together, the former straight, while Cariboo went over the hurdle in an oblique manner and lost about half a length of ground in that way, which cost him the race, us that was all the advantage Coronet had at the outcome.

THIRD DAY'S PLAY—CANADA’S LAST INNING, Puwapenrusa, Sept, 15, 1875. The game opened this morning with Greenfield and McLean, the two “not outs’? of yesterday, at the wickets. The result of Canada’s inning yesterday, so far as it had been played, was 39 rans obtained with the loss of three wickets, and, as 125 more runs were required to beat, the chances in their favor were small. Of this number they only succeeded in making 37, so effective was Meade’s bowling—he having taken in the inning eight wickets for but 20 runs, an average of 24% runs to a wicket. This left victory with the Philadelphia twelve by a majority of 87 runs, Large leads the batting with an average of 24 runs to an inning, and, should he maintain it, he will probably win the Champion Cup. ‘The following is ‘TIN SCORE.

After a short intermission the ground was cleared for the second match of the toarnament—En glish ollicers vs, Canada, It was the fortune of the Canadians again to lose the toss, and consequently they took the field, the Halifux captain choosing the bat, McLean and Kberts, the two most successful bowlers of the last game, opened the bowling, with Lieutenants Browne and Howden at the wickets.’ They were soon separated, Howden being clean bowled by Eberts. Davies, who next appeared, was caught at the wicket by Armstrong, off McLean, ‘without scoring, and his place wus filled by the Hon, Keith Turnour, one of the best. bats of the team, His appearance was the signal for a deter- mined stand, and when the telegraph indicated twenty- five a change Was made in the bowling, Greentleld going on with “slows” at Mr, Lean'y end. “Turnour was dis- posed of for twelve runs, and Cummings, the next man in, opened with a beautiful four hit under the ropes. Alter making three more he gave place to Captain Wal- lace, fleld captain of the twelve, the gentleman who was chiefly instrumental in originating and periecting the the Halifax tournament last tall. An hour's recess was now taken for dinner, the score at this point being fifty- five runs for the loss of four wickets. Punetually at three o'clock P. M. the game was re- sumed, but careful play was the order of the day. Runs were accumulated slowly until the scorce reached 66, when Wallace was caught in the slips off Eberts Browne soon followed .his example, being caught by Spragge, after playing @ brilliant inning fF 38, so far the largest of the tournament. Farmer and Taylor now sustained the Halifax reputation by running up the total to 80, when McLean went ou to bowl at Kearney’s end. This change did not prove efficacious, for soon 100 was reached; but when 109 appeared on the telegraph Lieutenant Taylor was neatly stumped by Armstrong off McLean.

THE ARGONAUTA-ATALANTA RACE, The Atalanta Boat Club held their regular monthly meeting at Sixth avenue and Thirteenth street on Tues- day evening. Much interest was manifested in the proceedings, as Mr, John GAnster, member of the four- oared crew that, achieved decided victories at Saratoga and Troy, had demanded an investigation of serious charges made against him. These were that he pur- posely refrained from doing his best to win the recent race on the Kill Von Kull when opposed to and defeated by the Argonauta four. Mr, Ginster plainly told all present that he had been shamefully accused of an act which, if proven, should “cause bim to be kicked from the club and out of the town,”’ To this challenge on his part no reply was made other than the adoption of a resolution fully exonerating Mr, GOnster from all im- putation or blame. | REGATTA ON OWASCO LAKE.

Challenge Race--Madeleine vs. Mohawk. Interesting Contest in the Bay~ The Madeleine Wins. Never was the proverbial ill luck of many @ sterling yachtsman more thoroughly illustrated than yesterday. Even while the schooner Mohawk was yet upon the stocks—and only a few months have elapsed since this fine vessel was laanched—ber owner, Vice Commodore Garner, of the New York Yacht Club, believing in the future brilliant achievements of his craft, manfully ac cepted a challenge from Mr. Dickerson, of the yacht Madeleine, which had already made herself noticeable by some fine performances, to sail a race over the club course, on time allowance, the sum of $1,000 to be staked by each contestant on the result, The event took place yesterday, and as it had been anticipated with genera) dnterest, more especially in yachting circles, where the merits of the Madeleine were well,known, a large and anxious assemblage congregated in the vicinity of the club house early yesterday morning, There was, more over, @ fine representation of the fleet, including such yachts as the Resolute, Idler, the famous America, Rambler, Dreadnaught, Wanderer, Comet, Estelle, Vesta, Prospero and other schooners and sloops and steamers, each conveying a number of guests t¢ witness the contest. Indeed, the race was awaited on all hands with great curiosity, Nothing hat been spared by the owner of either vessel in the way of preparation, and altogether this contest, with suitable weather, promised to be one of the most exciting of the season. The sequel shows how the hopes of the most sangaine yachtsmen may be disappointed, for virtually the race was won and lost. ‘The hour announced for the start was ten o'clock, everything being favorable, but there being no sign of breeze at that time and the prospects being about as miserable as it could be thoughts were entertained of postponing the affair to a more favorable occasion, AD hour later, however, indications showed that outside the Narrows both cruising yachts and merchantmes were enjoying a little wind from the southward, and it was determined, therefore, to get the racers undet way. The historic little schooner Magic acted as stake out, the officers selected being Mr, Alexander Taylor, judge for the Madeleine; Mr. W. Bend, judge for the Mohawk, and Mr, E. ‘hase, referee. We COURSE ‘was that sailed over in the club regattas, the race to be governed by the customary rules, From. the starting point off the club house the contestants were to pro- ceed to and around buoy No. 10, on the Southwest Spit, keeping it on the port hand and go to the south. ward of buoy No. 84, thence to and around the Sandy Hook lightship, keeping it on the starboard hand, and return over the same cours keeping buoy No. 10 * on the — starbo hand and keeping to the southward of buy No. h yachts going and returning keeping to the east- dof buoys Nos. 9, 11 and 13 on the West Bank, and outside of buoy No. 545 on the point of the Hook. THR DIMENSIONS OF THE YACHTS, The Mohawk was, of course, compelled to give an al- lowance of time to her competitor, being much larger m every respect; but it may be as well stated that al- Jowances of time over the New York Yacht Club course on average days give large vessels but little chance of victory. The Mohawk measures 140 feet, length over all; length on water line, 121 feet; extreme breadth of beam, 30 feet 4 inches; depth of hold, 9 feet 4 inches; draught of water, 6 feet; tonnage, old measurement, 33 tons; cubic contents in feet, as per rule, 21,022.08, The Madeeline—Length over all, 106 feet; length on water line, 95 feet; extreme breadth of beam, 24 feet; depth of old, 7 feet 9 inches; araught of water, 7 feet 4 inéhes; tonnage, old measurement, 151.49 tons; cubic contents in fect, as per rule, 8,499.17. The disparity between the vessels will readily be perceived and natu- rally suggested itself to many, taking into account the wretched prospects of the weather and her allowance of time of nearly seven minutes, that the Madeleine would have an easy thing of it, and with those inclined to make the maiter interesting in the way of a few side bets she was accordingly the favorite, THE START. There was no wind to speak of—barely enougn to make steerage way; but the.gun from the stakeboat was nevertheless fired at 11:35 A. M. to prepare to get under way. Fifteen minutes were allowed for this operation and fifteen more to cross the line, The second gun wag accordingly fired at 11:50 A. M,; but as neither vessel could approach the line—that 1s, between the stakeboat and the club house—this part of the regulations was waived and the contestants crossed as under:— HH. M. 8. H. M. 8. Madeleine ....... 12 5 34 Mohawk....... 127 38 The wind was light from the southward, the tide being on the first quarter of the ebb. The Madelei went about in close proximity to the old Fort Lat ette, her example being soon followed by the Moh ‘The wind began to freshen a little, and as the Mohawk stood closer in to Fort Richmond, made a decided gain on her antagonist on the next tack. Indeed, the pre- liminary manceuvres of the contest formed the prettiest part of it. For instance, when Madeleine went about again on the port tack, hoping te weather the Mohawk, she was compelled to give way, the Mohawk having made rapid strides while the breeze was freshening. ‘To those on board the Mohawk this feat must have proved a source of some delight, heightened, as it was no doubt, PY the sulky style in ie which the Madeleine had to yield the palm. The Mohawk then tacked toward the west bank, the Madeleine resuming the port tack as soon ag the coast was clear. On the next tack the Madeleine crossed the bows of the Mohawk with little room to spare, and joined her company, both vessels being almost ¥ithin speaking distance, "The Molawk commenced to outfoot her adversary, when a lum. bering coasting schooner got in her way and compelled the former to pinch up, thus delayin her to a considerable Presently, however, the Mohawk began to drop her tenacious follower, and as the surroundings in the way of weather were favorable, hopes were entertained that she would give her a wide berth. This part of the con test was exceedingly interesting, both vessels being well on their metal, so to spoak, ugh the Madeleine wax sd no means @ lag- 1, her huge adversary was decidedly outpointing her. pile this pretty and exeiting perforifance was proceed- ing the yacht Vesta, doubtless by accident, marred con- siderably the efforts of the Mobawk by an ill-timed crossing of her bows, a feat which she repeated ata stage of the contest, Too much care can never be n by outsiders in an honorable struggle of this {, und carelessness or want of knowledge forms little excuse for even the most innocent in terference. The Madeleine again tacked shortly one o'clock and stood out into the Swash Channel, passing under the stern of the Mobawk, which soon, held a fing. weather. position which mo” mentarily improved. On her next tack she headea for the Southwest Spit, the Madeleine, now well to leeward, promptly following her example, In the vicinity of the buoy quite a flee of sailing and steam yachts had assembled, and us the Mohawk approached she was greeted with welcoming demonstrations. The con- testants rounded ay A No. 10 as follows :— H. Ss. HM. & Mohawk.........1 87 50 Madeleine........1 40 20 ‘This was a clear gain for the Mohawk on a dead beat to windward from the start. The Madeleine bad passed the starting point two minutes ahead and waa now behind nearly as much more, so that at this stage and with the prevailing weather, poor: aa it was for the Mohawk, those witnessing the contest enter tained little doubt as to the triumph of the Vice Com. modore’s vessel. Both yachts kept on the starboard tack toward Buoy No, 834, the wind meanwhile fresh- ening up and giving hope that a rousing race was yot instore. Guns were fired from accompanyin vessels, and steam yachts blew their wildest screams satisfuction. During this part of the race, at there was infused into the spectacle that feeling enthusiasm which the lee rail in the water oftentimes inspires, It was trulya pretty struggle at this stage, and had the wind held not only would remarkably quick time have been made but the com- petitors would have been put to a comparatively thor- ough test, The Mohawk passed Buoy No. 834 at Th. 46m, and rounded Sandy Hook Point in splendid style, No, 5}4 Buoy was passed by both vessels as under: ma H. Mohawk. 1 54 20 Madeleine... 1 86 10 Both vossels sped on their course, there being some- thing of a sea on, but with every evidence of a fulli off in the wind. Madeleine had boch fore and maim club topsails set, which sent her along in good sl in contradistinetion to the Mohawk, whose mainstaysail was not only useless at the time, and weak- ened her huge club topsail, but made'her run off to leeward to the decided advantage of the Made- leine, which in the prevailing light breeze had now ob tained a windward position which must ensure her victory. This was a matter very much wondered at by all who were observers, for ‘having clearly beaten the Madeleine in working to windward, even on short tacks inside the Hook, the fact of the Mohawk sagging of to at the most critical period of the contest occasioned com- siderable comment. Shortly after three o'clock tht Madeleine, favored by light winds, obtamed a decides Jead, and the Lightship was rounded by the contestants as follows :— H. M.S. HM. 8. Madeleine... .... 3 21 45 Mohawk,... 3 28 00 ‘The vessels then squared away for the home stake- boat, but it was evident that unless a fresh breeze came to the reseue of the Mohawk the prize would be handed over to the Madeleine. Onee, by the way, just when the Mohawk was rounding the Hook, had she anything like the semblance of what she desited in the way wind, and then she made such speed as to raise hopes in the minds of her admirers, But it was too late, Af ter rounding Buoy No. 10 the Madeleine headed tor t Narrows wing and wing, and finally came in the winn' The following is the official time recorded of the arrival at the stakeboat :— HM, 8.
