Fine weather and a good breeze favored this unusually interesting marine contest, of which we were fortunate in securing a brilliant kinematographic reproduction at close quarters. With jackyarders aloft over full mainsails the twelve competing vessels cut smartly through the water, passing and re-passing each other, at times heeling almost completely over, thrilling scenes and grand water effects being presented. Meteor IV and White Heather secure the lead, the latter ultimately beating the German Emperor's yacht by fourteen minutes.
