VERY LIVELY RACE. Showed the Way to the Prince of Wales's Cutter Over a
Forty-eight-Mile Course, Winning by Four Minutes and Twenty-nine Seconds -- Just
the Kind of Weather for the Yankee Boat -- A Multitude of Sightseers.
COWES, Aug. 4 - The Vigilant handsomely retrieved her reputation
to-day in a splendid tussle for a prize of $500 over the course of the Royal
Yacht Squadron. She beat the Prince of Wales's cutter, the Britannia, in a
brisk breeze that held almost true from start to finish, over a course of
forty-eight nautical miles, a third of which was in the open water of the
English Channel. LICENCE : Autorisation en cours |
