Canada Wins Fisher Cup. 
In the second race of the Fisher cup series at 
Charlotte on Aug. 13, Skipper Christie atoned 
for what had happened him in the previous race 
by taking Iroquois over the line 13s. ahead of 
Zoraya, after a long battle for position. The 
race was again started late, the judges, who were 
accommodated this time on Mr. J. J. Wright’s 
steam yacht Electric, delaying until they found 
a breeze that promised a race within the five- 
hour time limit. 
At noon they decided to send the boats on a 
northeast course, 9 miles to windward and re¬ 
turn, and at 12:20 the starting signal was given. 
Iroquois got the best of the start after 10m. of 
hard jockeying, Zoraya crossing the line on her 
weather quarter, but she could not hold her ad¬ 
vantage. The breeze was quite light, of not 
more than 5-mile strength, and it varied in direc¬ 
tion somewhat. Zoraya profited by the slants 
and footed faster, soon drawing away from her 
opponent. Fourteen tacks took the boats to the 
buoy, and twelve of these were made almost 
simultaneously, Zoraya following Iroquois im¬ 
mediately. 
In the light air and smooth sea at the weather 
mark there were great opportunities for smart 
handling of light sails, and Zoraya’s balloon jib 
went on 10s. after rounding the mark, and her 
spinnaker 20s. later. Iroquois excelled even 
this fast record by setting her balloon jib 6s. 
after turning, and her spinnaker 12s. later. But 
Zoraya was half a mile away, leading at the turn 
by 13m. 7s. 
It was an uneventful run home, with spin¬ 
nakers to port, and the wind hardening to 8- 
mile strength and making a finish within the 
time limit certain, although 2I1. 30m. of the total 
5h. were used up in the windward work. 
Zoraya’s lead increased to a mile, but the 
freshening breeze reduced Iroquois’ beating in 
time. The finish was: Zoraya, 4:45:36; Iro¬ 
quois, 4:57:45. Zoraya’s winning margin was 
12m. 9s. 
This race decided the series, Canada winning 
the cup, which the Rochester Y. C. had held for 
fourteen years. C. H. J. Snider.
