RANGER'S THIRD VICTORY

YANKEE BEATEN IN TRIAL

Newport (Rhode Island),

June 7.

Ranger, Mr. Harold Vander- bilt's candidate for the defence of the America's Cup, won her third successive victory in the trial races here yesterday, when she sailed over the 28-mile wind- ward and leeward course in two minutes better time than Mr. Gerard Lambert's Yankee.

From the start Ranger ran away from Yankee, rounding the halfway mark with a lead of five minutes. She lost more than half of this on the run home, however.

Yankee carried her small Genoa jib and Ranger her big quadrilater- al jib and staysail.

Endeavour II, Mr. T. 0. M. Sop- with's racht, was also out for a sail yesterday, but there was no op- portunity to compare her speed with Ranger's although it was not ea that she rode the ground swells easily.

Endeavour I. arrived from Bristol rigged and ready, but did not sail, The British yachts will start their trials when Mr. Sopwith arrives on Tuesday.

eighth round.

The opposition was again led by Col. Crisp, of Chelsea, but the surprise of the meeting was the change of opinion of Charlton Athletic, whose delegate stated that his board, hitherto in favour of the change, had viewed the matter thoroughly and dispassionate- ly, and had decided this year to vote against it on the grounds that the "dilution of First League football would be derogatory to the game."
