It will probably be neces sary to ask for a delay of the date for the cup races this leneth of titaie The accident yesterday afternoon by which the mast and rig-giner of the bhamrock were swept away by the sudden quall was caused by the bob- stay slackening. When Capt. Syca more tried to luff the boat up into wind when he saw the squall coming she wouldn't answer to the helm . The bob- stay plate was wrenched off and the strouds carried away. The "King's escape was narrow. Had the affair taken place ten seconds later the mainboom would have been amid ship and come doss on the heads of the party, probably fatally injuring solne. Happily all wreckage went lee ward and for the main clear of the yacht. Upton was the only person who sustained injury. He was struck on the face by a backstay as it fell. He was stunned for a moment. The King was cheered when he ar rived here. He left for London In the evening. DRHNK CLEAR, CLEAN WATER. GET A GATE CDTT STONE FTLTJE-R AND HAVE NO FURTHER TROU BLE. J.
