VALKYRIE III WAS THE VICTOR,
But Her Victory Was a Doubtful
One.
She Crippled Dofender on the Start, But
That Gallant American Yacht Hade a
Glorious right, and, With Her Jib Top
?ail TIjIdk Loos*, Crosses the Line 47
Booouds Late.
New York, Sept. 10.?Crippled, but
still heeling far over in her strength and
Bwiftncas, Defender followed Valkyrie
across the flnl.xh lino to-day. Lees than
half a mllo separated the two, and anx?
ious cries kept pace, doomed by the
timo indicators as they moved around,
and whon It was soon that tbe Ameri?
can Defender had lost nothing In the
last twenty miles cf the course, but
had actually gained, a great shout wont
up lor the gallant strugglo a gallant
vessel had mado.
There were cheers for the victor, but
although Valkyrie was tbo first chal?
longer sinco 1S7.1 to lead over tho >homo
lino, tho honor of her performance was
lcBt sight of. It was a grievous acol?
dent that ruintd the Yankee boat's
cbancoo, an accidont which under tho
hair splitting circumstances of jockey?
ing at tho (starting line, looked to bo
unavoidable.
Early in tho mornlntr tho raoora had
slowly made their way down to the
Hook from Bay Rldgo white winged and
beautiful. Tboy circled In groat rings
about the lightship until the signals
wont up for the course and thon the
skippers took a tighter grip on tho
wheel. Capt, Blank Half had made a
rocord in seamanship on Saturday, and
the English skipper prepared to rogain
tho fame which had procedod him.
Tboy manuevered swiftly af'or the
{ preparatory gun had been fired and with
I Valkyrie to windward, Captain Hair
mado every effort to gain that position.
JuBt beforo reaching tho lino when Val?
kyrie was still to windward and the De?
fender to leeward, a length astorn, but
still overhauling her, the American
boat was blanketed so much that her
baby jib top sail and jib shook. Captain
HaiT, weeing this luffod up a little, evi?
dently iufndlng to let tho other boat
go ahead for tho purpose of enabling
him to paes uudor her stern and to
windward.
Captain Sycamore, at Valkyrie's
tiller, noted this move and luffed up
also. It was there toat tbe thousands
ot watchers on tho surrounding boats
no tied how dangerously close to each
othor the races were. And just at that
moment, too, a snap and a rondlng
sound waB heard and it waB seen that
Defender's jib top sail was flying Ioobo
in tho wind. Valkyrie's main boom
had swung around anl fouled Defender's
rlgRlng.
To those who had witnessed the acci?
dent and sprang forward at the ominous
Bound It seemed as though Defender
trembled with tho shock. They saw
her top mast bend and her top aall
swing over as though It would break
away, and a groan went up as though
the brave boat which had won to coble
a victory a few days before wai wholly
debarred from even an effort to secure
a second. Lightning action was neoes
sary to save the top mast from breaking
away oompletely, for it was already
sprung from Its fastenings, and Captain
Half, with a masterstroke taking his
boat down to leeward, Boon maneuvered
her into a safe position and gave chaao.
Valkyrie, which had crossed tbe line
first, hsd gained a good lead by Do
fender's disaster and had probably a
little more than half a mile advantage
at the end of tho first leg in the trian?
gular course over which they aalled.
Her gain was something less than four
minutes In tho beat to windward. From
that on, however, Defender, while not
perceptibly closing tbe gap between
them, lessened the time and they
crossed tbe line not more than two
minutes apart. Valkyrie, according to
corrected time, however, wins from the
cup Defender by just 47 seconds.
Thore was life and motion at tho start,
although It was no such scene as was
presented on the day of the first race.
Far back, in the quiet hours, tho soa
was dotted here and thore with a sail on
the horizon that told of an advancing
fleet, and when tho first gun was fired a
swinging vanguard, bright with color
was there to (speed the racers on tho
journey. Then, while all eyes were on
that invisible line over which a step
made too toon would prove fatal, De?
fender's mishap came. Recovering
quickly, however, and followed eagerly
by those to whom the breaking away of
tho jib top sail and the bending of the
top mast meant for tho moment aban?
donment of all hope, she went in stern
pursuit.
Valkyrie's lead and her better posi?
tion waB not much improved during the
firut leg. True, Valkyrie did exoellent
work, but Defender, going just as her
mishap left her, clung to her rival.
Within a few minutes It was seen that
Defender meant to sail the first leg
without a jib top?&U, and to many of
those on the excursion steamers and ac?
companying vacbta, this gave the first
inkling that an accidont had occurred
and that Defender's topmast was her
weak spot.
The course was down the Jeroey
coast, and nautical experts on board
some of the boats, critically observing
Defender's progress, expressed them?
selves as believing she was merely fol?
lowing tho Englishman over tbo course,
without attempting to race. This be ?
lief was strengthened by tho faot that,
directly after the f uiing at the line a
protest flag was run up with a vigor
that denoted determination on the part
of tb? American commander, but De?
fender was in for a race, and during the
progress of the first few miles sufficient
repairs wero mado to enable her to set a
baby jib topsail after rounding the first
buoy la the beat to windward Valkyrie
was throe minutes and fifty-two seconds
In advance.
Tbo second log was oxpected to try
tho nerves of those who had set their
E
E, VA., WEDNESDAY
hearts on victory for tho oup defender
for her little jib top sail looked like a
speok compared with tho great bellying
balloon jib top sail Bet by Valkyrie, ?
whloh was drawing tremendously. But
the second tea miles was a veritable
victory for the Yankee. She gained
slowly, but she gained steadily and turn?
ing the round mark not far behind her
rival, she now had a better chance by
long odds to win than a few miles baok
la the journey. It cheered anxious
hearts on the floating city, for It 1b no
exaggeration to-day that alnoty-nlne
hundredtha of thoBe afloat were De?
fender men from first to last.
Toward the end It was evident that
the gap was dosing and Valkyrie had
scarcely orosted the lino and got out of
the way when Defender came tearing at
It like a thoroughbred under tho wiro.
She must havo put on an extra burst of
speed to gratify tboso who had kept
their eyes on her white canvass frum
gun to gun, for sho was well on ber
side and her sails bulged with the force
of tho driving breeze as a roar of
whistles and a volley of cheers aud
cannonading gave her adornation.
Official time table is as follows:
Valkyrie?Start, 11:00:13; first mark,
18:57:48; second mark, 1:58:10; finish,
1:55:12; elopsed time, 3:55:09.
Defender?Stt.rt, 11:01:15; ?rat mark,
1:01:25; neiond mark, 2:01:45; finish,
2:57:40; elapsed time, 3:50.13.
Toua It will bo soon that Valkyrie
won by 1 minute 1G teconds on elapsed
tlmo and after deducting 21) Beconds,
which she allows Defender, by 47 sec?
onds.
More than one competent wltnoss on
the days' soort said that considering
everything Valkyrie was beaten worse
to-day than on Saturday. It was feared
after Defender's mishap that tho contest
would prove bo unequal as to lose Its
interest, but it was this very accident
that gave the Englishman a fighting
chance against Defender to-day. At all
events she has had the distinction of
crossing tho homo lino la advance of
tho Yankoe boat, the first In a quarter
of a century.
Only one other boat finished closer to
the winner than did Defender to-day,
and that was Valkyrie II, in her raco
with Vigilant In '90, when 40 seconds
only loparated tho racers.
It has been the gonerally expressed
wish that Dunraven would win one raco
of the series, and the good wish has
come to pass, unlesB tho cup committee
entertain Defender's nrotost, and do
claro against the Englishman. Captain
Ha*, when asked as to the accident,
looked aloft and grimly bawled, "Val
kyrle's main boom toro away our rig- I
ging," and would say no more. Later
it was given out at tho New Y'ork Yacht
Club that the committee would not ren?
der a decision in regard to the protest
beforo io morrow.
Danraven's Generous Offer.
Nkw York, Sept- 10 ?The statement
1? made that Lord Dunraven has offered
a riension of thirty shillings weekly for
life to every member of the crew of Val?
kyrie should thoy succeed In winning
the America's cup. This offer he la re?
ported to have madoln an address to the
Bailor* and their commanders, In which
he said: "While I feel that every man
will do his duty I am anxious to encour?
age you to exert yourselves to tho ut?
most to win tho remaining races of the
serioB."
Tho announcement waB so unoxpected
that for a minute not a word was
spoken. Then, actuated by a common
impulse, the men of tbe crew broke out
into a cheer.
The men afterward held an informal
meeting and discussed the offer, and it
was clear from their manner that they
had entered into a compact to strain
ovory nerve to win.
Lord Dunravon'a action is without
precedent, either considered by itself or
from the standpoint of generosity. It
la the ambition of his life to place
within the hands of his queen the
trophy that passed out of the pi&sesalon
of England nearly half a century ago.
The ages of the twenty-six men will
average thirty yoars. They are all
strong and healthy and tbolr expecta?
tion of life may be set at seventy years.
In tbat time, if tbe expectation be real?
ised, they will each have received 3,120
pounds sterling or 515,000, And in tbe
aggregate 32,100 pounda or 8400,800.
That the crew appreciated Lord Dun
raven's inducement was shown by their
work in to-day's race.
Excitement in London Very Great.
London, Sept. 10.?The excitement
In London to night over the Interna?
tional yacht race off Sandy Hook is
greater oven than that which provallod
on Saturday night, when the advantage
which Valkyrie had over Defender at
tbe start bad created a ftoling of tho
utmost confidence that the English boat
would win, and when tbe news of De?
fender's victory waB received with pro?
portionate disappointment. Though
still hopeful of a turn of fortune in favor
of Valkyrie, the London publio bad re?
conciled themselves to tho thought that
America's cap would not return to
England. The anxiety as to the Issue
of to day's race wan wrought up to a
fever beat by the frequent issuing of
extra editions of the evening papers,
giving bulletins of tbe progress of the
contest- Tbe general |oy over tbe vic?
tory of Valkyrie was somewhat tem?
pered by apprehension lest the protest
of Defender may yet be placed beforo
tbe committee in eich a light as to in?
duce the authorities to give to the
American boat, or declare that the race
may be sailed attain.
Canada Jubilant Over the Victory.
Montreal, Que., Sept. 10.?Thous?
ands of people yelled themselves hoarse
on St. Jame? street In front of tbe
newspaper offices an soon as the final
official result of tho yacht race was an?
nounced. For some minutes when the
result was in doubt the crowd groaned,
hut when the official notice was pub?
lished it went wild. Union Jacks were
carried ovory whore and the wholo town
is In a fever of excitement.

count of S3.50. He also reported on gen?
eral good health of the city, and called

briok pavement on oast sido of JefTorson
street, and in front of tho Gllmer ave

house farm. The sovoral roforences of
tho mayor were on motion referred to
thejpropor Council committees.
The city solicitor rendered an opinion
of the question of the right of tho city
to pass an ordinance confiscating con?
cealed weapons found on persons whon
such pjrsous aro lined under tho city
ordinances The city solicitor is of
opinion that tho council cannot pass a
law;; confiscating the weapon but may
im peso a fine for carrying concealed
weapons. Io case the city deslros the
woapon to be confiscated and also tho
olty ordinances in respect to carrying
concealed weapons to bo enforced, tho
police justice must fine tho pirty under
tho city law and also under tho State
law.
Tno city solicitor also gav3 hia opinion
on the question of paying for board sids
walks out of tho atroet bond account
after tho same had onco boon ordered to
bo put down and paid for out of tho
street repair account, stating that as to
tho possibility of the city collecting tho
asoestmenls against the abutting
property owners therefor, that that was
a mailer yet to bo determined by tho
court of appeals.
The city engineer submitted his
monthly report, stating what work had
boon performed in his office as directed
by the Council, and tho number of
streets Improved and the amount of
work done on each, and also recom?
mended a list of other streets In each of
tho five wardB which should receive at?
tention. Ho also recommended that
the wages of the foreman of the stroet
force be made two dollars per day in?
stead of Si.50; he recommended the
abatement of certain cess pools on Kirk
avenue s. o ; the improvement of tbe
drain loading from Terry's spring to
Lick Run; diversion of the storm water
from Jefferson stroet to Ta/.swell ave?
nue; improvement of the drainage on
Franklin road, and also submitted a re?
port on the condition of tho official sur?
vey.
The engineer states in this report that
tho map aa It now stands Is practically
worthless to the city, but that the same
could be made serviceable at a very
small cost, and recommended that tnat
portion of It embracing the business
section and thickly settled districts of
the city bo completed Ho also reported
that he had received a proposition from
the Roanoke Machine Works to build a
car for the city for the purpose of haul?
ing street sweepings to the almBhouse

mittees.
Tho overseers of poor reported that

poses, which recommendations were
granted.
Mr. Terry, from tho commltteo on ac?
counts, reported approved bills against
the city to tho amount of 85,63.1.45,
which were ordered to be paid. The
committee also called attention of coun
oil to a bill for S3 for a vehicle for tho

pose of making an Inspection of the
streets, and suggested that If this prao
tlce was to continue that special rates
should be secured for teams.
The account of Dr. J. L. Stone for ser?
vices In the smallpox cases, amounting
to 81,000, was also reportod to the coun?
cil by tbe committee on accounts, recom?
mending that the findings of the health
committee, that 8520 be psld for such
services, be adopted.
Mr. Terry, chairman of the com?
mittee, presented a minority report on
this question, and introduced a resolu?
tion providing for the appointment of a
special committee of three to confer
with Dr. Stone and endeavor to secure
a compromise, for tho purpose, as be
stated, of avoiding the unp etsantness
of possible litigation. A motion of Mr
Andrews to adopt the minority rop ort
was defeated by a close vote. Several
motions were made to refer tbo question,
n ne of which carried. Tho Coui.ci'
finally adopted the unajjrlty rooort,
agreeing to pay 8520. Too cons di ra?
tion of tho account provoked consider?

The finance oommitteo presented a
resolution instructing the city solicitor
to report to the Counoll whether or not
the olty charier provided for a sinking
fund cummtatlon, and in the absence of
such provision what authority the City
Council had to provide for such by ordi?
nance, and to allow suoh commission
