...blue sloop Endeavour won the first two races for the America's Cup last fortnight, it looked as if the $500 trophy which has been in Tiffany's Manhattan vaults since 1857 would presently go back to England, whence it came in 1851. When Harold Stirling Vanderbilt's white Rainbow won the next four, it looked as though the Cup would stay in the U. S. for another year at least. But no one could be sure-not even Skipper Vanderbilt himself. As he finished ahead in that sixth race early this week, red flags of protest...

An unfortunate tack by Endeavour, a lucky puff of wind for Rainbow, enabled the Vanderbilt boat first to catch up with Endeavour then to perform the maneuver which yachtsmen call "back-winding."

The only moment thereafter when Rainbow was in danger of losing her lead was when her parachute spinnaker split, halfway out on the 15-mi. run to leeward.

...stage is presented an unusually long bill of vaudeville containing but few sparks of real entertainment. Vanderbilt and Daye are fairly good dancers and have created a dance to the rumba rhythm which is at least different. Ranny Weeks and his orchestra are mildly entertaining and manage to sound quite a bit like New York's Leon Belasco...
