from the first gun signal and until
within a short distance of the mark
tin! the Defender caught a brecre to

sailed away rr.nu lu-r rival.
From that moment she went on In

alrle perforninnce for a bo it after sail

mile to come out at the end with
lead of almost a half-mile gained In

Never In the history of raeea for the

for a long time pointed higher nml

be comprised of the la'st three out of
five races. All will be stnrtetl from
Hie Sandy II 00k lightship, which Is
7-8 miles outside of Sandy Hook.
They will be sailed nllernale days.
The' course will be thirty miles long
tich. and the turn will be taken nt
fifteen miles to windward, or leeward,
and return, and the liiiingular course
of ten mile to the leg until one of the
racers wins three races.
It I generally admitted that this
venr will see the closest contest ever
imd for the cup. The Valkyrie III
allowed before she left home that she
is tho fastest yacht ever built over
there, nt lenst In light weather. The
Defender ha been tried lu till kinds
