ROYAL YACHTSMAN
THE KING AT COWES. DEAD HEAT IN EXCITING RACE. (United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.) (Rec. 7.20 p.m.) London, July 29. At Cowes the King, wearing bright yellow oilskins, boarded his yacht Britannia and raced in the Solent against the Candida and Westward, and after a ding dong battle the Royal yacht dead-heated with Mr Davis’s schooner Westward, which started badly. She lost smin 39sec to the Britannia at the end of the first round, but recovered brilliantly. A dead-heat is very rare in a long race over a 40mile course. .... There was a hard breeze and driving rain. The general opinion is that the King was plucky to sail on such a day. ________
