Within & mile of the Hunters Point | stakeboat the Eoius was headed 1o lee- | ward away out of her course. Thinking the commander was in error as to the whereabouts of the stakeboat, those on board the judges’ boat warned him, but soon it was seen that the Eolus had been steered in tha: direction su as to have the advantage of the light breeze that was blowing, Although this maneuver al- lowed the Fawn to close the gap per- | ceptibly, yet the breeze carried the leader around tue stakeboatat 6:22:20 ».

This will necessitate the vachts meeting again, but it seems to be a foregone con- clusion that the trophv will pass into the possession of the Corinthians, as their bont outsailed the Encinals, at every point.
