K., 12:26:80. The race was aver a triangular courso of eight¬ een miles. The Verve passed the first buoy about one minute ahead of the Wasp, the Cora following about llltv seconds latei. At the second buoy the Wasp had a good lead o! the Cora and the Vorve was follow¬ ing close behind the latter. The run home was before tho wind and every stitch of can¬ vas was spread. The Wasp maintained her lead and came lu first at 8 26:40, the Cora at 3-32 41, the Verve at J 85:34. The Wasp took the prlre in the first-class, the Verve the prize In the-second-class and the Zephyr, which came in at I 21 08, took the prize In the thlul-ihue, It was a dear runaway, on the part of the Vei\e, fiom her competitors in the second-class, as she made better time than the Cora, and would easily have beaten Wasp If she had been sailing in the first-class with a propei,lime allowance.
