The Dallu Tfleoniph will Ii say to-morrow: "The erratlo behavior of tho Visitant's centreboard will not ralso that ad- v junct to speed In the esteem of English yachts- men.' 11. BoaTorr, Sept. 4. A cable despatch to the Bos- ,. ton Krtnlng lltrahl from Cowes, aoys: k" "George J. Oould haa Just arrived here from ' Paris, and haa been in consultation with the ! committee of the Koyal Squadron Yacht Club. "" That centreboard has come to grief again, for in I'k the passage to Cowes yesterday, and when working up the Solent Inside the Needles, her ( centreplate struck on the rocks and got damaged hi- so that It will require overhauling.

Gould, however, does not flinch, but 'h" sa) s he will race his boat as the is. but wants ' the prl liege of putting four tons of lead In place to make Up for tho loss ol the weight of tho board. l " The Secretary of the Royal Yacht Squadron lias telegraphed to the Prlnco of Wales, who Is ' now in iiomburg, tlio conditions of affairs and also Mr. Gould's proposition. No answer had ?' been received up to 3 o'clock this afternoon, so , that it Is not known whether the Prince of ' Wales will allow his yacht to race or not." i The following record of the Vigilant' races In English, Scotch, and Irish waters shows '," that she started In nineteen races, finishing i first seven times, was second eleven times, and (1 third once. Ono of her wins over the Satanlta 1. not being allowed, she has won onlr six drat 4 prizes out of eighteen starts. Many of her races w ere of course with the Britannia, they meeting In single combat In no less than fifteen 0 of her races, the Prince of Wales's cut ter winning eleven times. The Satanlta, n Vigilant, and Britannia raced together n, twice, the Vigilant winning one raco and j finishing third In the other, the Britannia being 1; second on both occasions. The Vigilant and a Satanlta sailed two races together alone. The American boat finished ahead on both occasions, but has received only one prize, the first race not being sailed within the time limit.

Ihe Vigllant's next race was on July 20, In Dublin Bay, when tho took part In the regatt.l of the llojal St. Oeorgn Yacht Club, oer n ilfty-mllo course, with eleven turns.

In this race both the Britannia nnd Vigilant bumped on the rocks off Ventnor, on tho southwest coast of the Island. This race caused any amount of HI feeling, as English men claimed the Vigilant called for room and then kept on and took the windward berth from the Britannia, which she would not havo been ublo to do under ordinary circumstances. On Aug. 0 the Britannia and Vigilant met for the sixteenth tlmo 00 n 4H-mlle course in tho Solent for the Cowes Town Cup. tnlucd at Jf 800. There was n fine club topoall breeze anil a little sea.
