2.33.45; Muriel, 2.47.40; Doris, 2.55.20. Cara Mia and 
Venona were so far behind they withdrew before the 
mark was reached and the others retired earlier in the 
race. 
Spinnakers and other light sails were carried to the 
next mark, and for a time Yankee drew away so far that 
she seemed to have the race won. Queen closed up on 
the Corona and left Elmina astern. A squall was mak¬ 
ing up in the northwest, and the wind got light at 
3:15 o’clock, and Capt. Dennis, on the Elmina, took in 
spinnaker and reached out to get the first of the new 
wind. Then he gybed over and reached back, and in 
the two tacks to leeward drew ahead of Queen and 
Corona. Yankee ran out of the good breeze, and the 
stern boats, bringing up a better wind, ran up on her, 
so that at the West Island mark she had lost her big 
advantage and Vigilant was the leading yacht in the 
race. The times at this mark and the elapsed times for 
the 18 miles down the wind were:

Newport, Aug. 8- 
-King’s 
Cup Race. 
Then the wind went to the west and made it a beat 
home. Elmina worked in along the land, followed by 
Yankee and Rainbow, and Corona stood well off shore, 
while Queen kept in between the two. 
Elmina carried the breeze to the finish, but after the 
leaders had crossed the line the wind freed them again, 
and the smaller craft sailed on with reaching topsails. A 
few more finished, Humma being in this division and 
the Gardenia got near the line well within her time, but 
was hung up with the tide, and it took her 40m. to 
get over the line. This lost her the race. Pryne ,too, was 
get over the line. This lost her the race. Phryne, too, was 
just 5m. late in finishing. The table follows: 
Astor Cup For Sloops. 
Nine of the seventeen yachts entered started in the 
race for the King’s cup. Some of the yachtsmen figured 
when they found a fresh easterly wind blowing that they 
had no chance of success, and so kept in the harbor. 
The day was not a pleasant one for racing. It rained 
hard all night and was raining when the yachts started 
out for the line. Ihe rain had kept the sea down 
though, and things outside were not nearly as unpleasant 
w £ s ex P ecte< i- The committee as soon as they reached 
the Brenton’s Reef Lightship on board the steam yacht 
Alvina signalled the course. It was to the Hen and 
Chickens Lightship, then to the Vineyard Sound Light¬ 
ship and then home, 37 miles in all. The compass 
courses were E.%S„ then S. i'/ 2 miles, and then W.N.W. 
17 miles. The first leg was to windward, and as soon 
as the preparatory signal was made at 11:25 o’clock, the 
yachts began to maneuver for position. They had 4m. 
to get across the line after the starting gun, and with 
the exception of Rainbow and Yankee, these two yachts 
singled each other out as soon as the signal was made. 
Just before the starting signal Yankee, on the weather 
bow of Rainbow, was standing for the line close hauled 
on the port tack. Both yachts were toon soon and both 
bore off when clear of the lightship and ranged along 
the line, and then Capt. Barr luffed Rainbow, trying 
to force Yankee over the line. Mr. Maxwell held his 
luff, and Rainbow bumped into Yankee, smashing that 
yacht’s rail. The next instant the signal sounded and 
they were off, Yankee taking the lead, with the Rainbow 
under her lee. Next in order came Queen, Effort to 
windward of her, Amorita, Vigilant, Muriel, Corona and 
Elmina. The last two took the starboard tack inshore, 
and very soon the others, except Muriel, were heading 
m to the Newport shore. All worked in short tacks 
along the beach, and Queen soon took a lead and Yankee 
drew away from Rainbow on every tack. Effort hung 
on surprisingly well and, try as they would, Rainbow 
could not shake her off, and Vigilant could not over¬ 
haul her. 
Off West Island Queen was leading by some minutes, 
and \ankee was as far ahead of Rainbow. Then came 
Effort and Vigilant, and Muriel was far off shore. The 
wind freshened at this point, and Vigilant began to do 
better, and before the lightship was reached, she had 
passed Effort. At 1:55 o’clock Rainbow struck a rock 
near Schuyler’s Ledge. She struck so hard that Capt. 
Barr and some sailors were thrown down and bruised 
and the yacht was found to be leaking badlv. She 
withdrew from the race and went to Bristol for repairs.

times of each for the turn to windward are sh^wn in
