THE THIRD RACE.

RESOLUTE AGAIN WINS

New York, July 21

The third race tor the America Cup was over a course of 30 miles, a 15 mile heat to windward, and a 15 mile run home. The wind was light and variable, coming out south-south-east. The Shamrock started at 1.22, and the Resolute at 1.41 p.m.

The Resolute won the third race by the time allowance of seven minutes one second. Both vessels finished in the same elapsed time.

[The first race of the scries was won by the Shamrock, as the result of the Resolute breaking her throat halliards. The second attempt was not finished owing to the failure of the wind. The second completed race, first announced to have been won by the Shamrock, was lost to her through the Resolute’s time allowance being larger than was at first supposed, so that each yacht had one win. The third race, reported above, gives the Resolute two wins, but it is not yet clear whether the. race is the last of the scries. The Lipton yachts have hitherto soiled three races only, but were heal on in all. It appears from some published statements that the contest requires three wins out of five raves (though the conditions may be varied by prior arrangement), hut apparently only three days were fixed for the races this year.]
