WON AGAIN.

The Vigilant Easily Beats the Valkyrie in the Second of the Series of Yacht Race*. New York, Oct IL—The second of the series of yacht races for America’s cup took place on Monday, and again the American vessel, the Vigilant defeated the Valkyrie, her English rival. The start was made at 11:25 a no., and was ’nearly a perfect

one. The finst turn of the triangular course of the 30 miles was made by the Vigilant in 1 hour, 6 minutes and 35 seconds, the Valkyrie being nearly five minutes behind. The second turn was made by the Vigilant in 1 hour, 56 minutes and 55 seconds; by the Valkyrie in 2 hours, 5 minutes and 52 seconds. The Vigilant finished, 10 minutes and 35 seconds ahead of the Valkyrie, her corrected time over the entire course being 3 hours, 25 minutes

and 1 second; that of the Valkyrie being 8 hours, 35 minutes and 36 seconds. The wind blew almost half a gale during the last half of the race and the boats came in with decks forward wet with spray. The next race will be Wednesday. It will be a beat to windward, 15 miles and return. Should the Vigilant win again the America’s cup will remain here at least another year and the American centerboard will still be the champion yacht of the world.
