ISLAND. THURSDAY, VIGTORY AGAIN FOR CANADA. The Third Race an Easy Victory. THE DOMINION SAILED BETTER THAN HER OPPONENT. Took the Lead and Kept it—Won by a Mile and a Half. ——— Monrreat, Aug. 17.--The Dominion yeaterad ay had it easy 1D defeating the Challenger iu a course cailing for a beat to windward andarun home. Three times round, The race was sailed ina beavy wind, necessitating double reefs, and the Domin- ion showed herself to be much the better boat, winning by about a mile and a half in ® minutes and 26 seconds. The race was star‘ed at 12.40, the Chal- lenger was first across and the Dominion the windward position almost at once. It seemed a question of how much her lead would Le that was all. As on every previous occasion, she dis- tanced the American in beating up to the windward, thus it was that when the long tack to starboard had been run in order to reach the mark boat, the Challenger was hopelessly behind, unless she could make up a difference of nearly three minutes. This she had never been able to do on any of the previous runs before the w nd and unless something unlooked for oc~ curred it seemed plainly a very easy win for the Dominion. The Challenger made up considerably more than a minute onthe home run in the ciosing round, it did not make her dangerous however. When the yachts had rounded the stake boat to commence the second round, the Dominion’s lead was irrecoverable. There was no feature in the second round, except that the Dominion closed the first half of the race with a ‘ead of over tive minutes. From this time forward it was a question as 10 what time the Dominion would win by.
