VIM GAINS NARROW VICTORY AT COWES
U.S. Yacht Beats Tomahawk
The Royal Yacht Squadron ended their four-day regatta at Cowes recently, when rain fell in torrents and bright intervals were few. However, there was some good racing in a moderate northeasterly breete falling ligfi; in the afternoon, writes the "Daily Telegraph” correspondent.
The American yacht, Vim, won the 12-metre race of 27 miles by only 42sec. She had been 1 min. 3sec. ahead at the end of the first round, so Tomahawk, which, as usual, was her nearest divat, made a slight gain late in the match, which was closely" contested:

Knott Takes Eight Surrey Wickets
FOUR POINTS FOR
HAMPSHIRE
Hampshire took four points for a lead of 81 runs over Surrey at Portsmouth. This they increased in their second innings to 185 for the loss of one wicket, when the match, which had been much in- terrupted by rain throughout, was left drawn.“
G. Knott, the Hampshire bowler, by taking eight wickets for 85, surpassed anything he had pre- viously done for the county. He was robbed of a ninth wicket owing to m. fleidsman slipping ori the wet ground, when about to make a catch.
Mackenzie. another young Hampshire bowler, had a different experience. He took a wicket third ball, and then was hit for 30 runs off two overs.
This hafsh treatment came from F. R. Brown, who" the- roughly enjoyed himself with the bowling for 50 minutes, while he scored 61,
