"Alexander Smith Cochran's beautiful bronze-hulled racing sloop Vanitie flashed across the finish line in the first test for America's Cup defenders on the Sound yesterday, a winner by 16 minutes and 48 seconds over her smaller rival, Resolute. Vanitie carried off the first day's honors in impressive style, snatching victory from almost certain defeat when the race was half run and the most fickle of northwest breezes died out altogether."
