aboard tie can have tossed a to Sycamore on the Shamrock For aa they beat their way to the outer mark the black shadow o Shamrock's hufce club top sail was painted on the big main sail of ths Colombia and for an hour on the run home with the yachts geared deer before the following wind ran almost beam to beam na If they had been harnessed together af Duel Will Live The memory of the races between Ge- nesta and Puritan and first ana In 1893 which have been treasured by yachtsmen up to this time be forgotten after the of today It will live in the memory of those who witnessed It the years to come of two will recount celebrated first race be- Iween the Columbia and the Shamrock III gat ltd off New York In the first year ol the new century As a result of to day's race though faith ID the Columbia still remains In the hearts of the patriots all the ex- perts admit that the British boat is the ablest ever sent to these wa- ters to lift the 100 guinea cup which the old schooner America brought across tho fitty years aero and that the superiority of American ship and American naval as represented by tbe defender remains to be established The quality of chip Js measured by her ability to way into an adverse wind and In the thresh to windward today the golden challenger gained 39 seconds while on the run home her lead was eaten up and the crossed the finish line exactly 37 before tie Shamrock It must be remembered however that the lenger had the weather gauge in the beat to windward no mean advantage ond experts alter the race that the outward Journey she bad been to absolute while before the wind the ican yacht not only showed a fleeter pair of heels but in the opinion of the sharps better handled Disappointed by the fluke of day the crowd which sailed down to Sandy Hock lightship today was what smaller than on tbe opening day but even so the colony of steamers steam yachts tuff boats sailing vessels and excursion craft ot every tion formed an angle at tho line miles long It waa an Ideal day for a race and the whole course was ible to the thousands along the LOUR Island coast Tie thrilling The yachts bounded away across the line like a couple of runaway horses the lenger half a length ahead to windward In the maneuvering the start Captain Sycamore had given the wily Yankee skipper a genuine prise returning a Koland for the Oliver he had received on Thursday Juat when Barr thought tic had him hla lee the Englishman deadened liia headway and then luffed the Columbia's stern Into the weather berth This victory for the Shamrock at the very inception of the race the Columbia could not overcome in the long beat to windward The two big yachts nere an to the spectators in which they plunged seaward pounding great fountains of spray from their bows and creivs lined up along the weather rait They heeled to toe wind until lee rails ware tn the swirling bubbling and from the cEde they showed yards of bronze Neck and neck tacX and tack they raced like a team of horses began to be written on the faces of fie patriots 33 Barr tried twice and finally a third Ume lo cross the bow of for- eigner only to be forced around each time by the lean golden muzzle

were confident of fee Columbia home a winner I win venture no predictions as to the out- come of the future races We bave carefully avoided boasting but shall put forth our best endeavors to keep the America's cup on this side of the Atlantic Captain Barr also was much gratified over the victory It was a close race but a clean be said Wind con- ditions were perhaps not oil that could have been desired but such ae they were our boat was never in danger r believe at any point Tbe Hart When the two yachts were towed out lo Sandy Hook there wae a nne sailing breeze blowing nine knots irom a mtie south of east with a sible of becoming more erly aa the day The long greasy swell always a forerunner of a storm came In with considerable force and the roll of the sea from southward caused by the disturbance down the coast made it unpleasant for those not accustomed to ocean waves Both yachts took preliminary spins to gel canvas in trim for the serious business of the day The wind had freshened a bit when the tug Navigator with the regatta committee aboard anchored at southeasterly end of the line Sandy Hook lightship forming the other extrem ity Soon afterward s agna IB were hoisted on the committee tuff denoting that the course would be by south fifteen to the windward the Bred rn The at Columbia had meanwhile secured a terth to ward of the line while the Shamrock was
