The Vigilant’s sailing for fitteen minutes previously was a great ex- hibition of speed and skill, On the next tack, four minutes Later, the Vietlant ed the Volunteer’ bow and took up a position to wind- | ward of the Boston boat. All four boats were standing well to the westward at noon In the fol-| lowing order: Defender, Jubilee, Vigi- lant, Volunteer, The Defender was so far ahead of the other three that she| had almost disappeared tn the mist that) they were headed ‘or to the southwest.

On the second ieg to W + Island, a4 | poss! | whatever, | with broad reach, Vigilant began to overhaul Jubilee, having passed Volunteer. As they came up the Jong leg, with the wind over the port quarter, the strug- gle between Jubilee and Vigilant was magnificent. It was nip and tuck be- tween them, seeming to hold each other against all efforts to break away, De- fender still held her lead, but Vigilant had made up a vast amount of her handicap and was struggling like 4 witch to get clear of Jubilee, as if anxious to pursue the new Herreshoffer. The wind was then blowing at wholesail rate, probably with a velo ty of twelve n and bade fair hold to the finish, They were ten miles on the second leg, when at 2.42 o'clock Vigilant passe Jubilee and promptly increased her le to a quarter of a mile, Jubilee had not given up the fight, and flew after Vigilant like a big hawk after escaping pr The wind was constantly tn; In force, and at 3 o'clock was blowing at about fifteen miles an hour.

Vidiant's lead over Jubilee at this time was calculated at nearly four min- utes, Volunteer was about two miles astern of Jubilee. Vigilant seemed to increase her speed and made a trifling gain on Defender during the next quarter of an hour. At 833 Defender had about three miles to cover ta order to reach the second mark-boat off West Island, From that point to the flinsh off Brenton’s Point was a close reach of about six miles. Jubilee also gained fresh life about this time and seemed to draw up slight- i to Vigilant ly, though hardly perceptible, on Vikil- | ant. Defender turned the mark at West Island at 3.44, unofficlal time, and head t for the finish, over the short leg of the course, Her gaff was broken tu geting around, but she kept on, Defender Gives It Up.
