The semi-weekly miner. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1882-1886, 1885-09-19

was coming fast and heavy, while an ugly
sea was fast rising, into which the yachts
plunged. Three light beach lines on the
''Puritan's" jib were led aft, and when
hauled taut by General Paine much i'm
proved the set of the sail.
NEARING THE FINISH.
They were at 3:53 o'clock about three
and one-half miles from the finish. The
water was getting smoother every
moment, while the breeze continued strong.
The puritan, increased her lead steadily
and crossed the finish line at Al, O9m.,
lbs. While the fleet OF steamboats, gave
her rousing reception Mr.. Forbes and
crew responded heartily. The "Genesta'
crossed the line at An, 1Om.. 39s., only
2m., 24s. behind her. The yachts looked
grand as they dashed across the line. Both
were taken in tow by the tugs "Scandinay-
ian" and "Luckenbach," and cast off at
their Staten Island anchorage at 6 O'Clock.
The race was over and the "Amelica's'
cup was still retained on this side OF the
Atlantic. In speaking OF the race, Com
race for the last thirty years, said: "lt
| was the grandest race ever seen in the
world, and if the puritan" had been prop
erlv handled she would have beaten the
cutter more yet

AFTER THE RACE.
Captain Robert Center said Tonight that
Sir Richard Sutton and Sir William Le-
venge said nothing during the race. but
watched it's progress with interest. r..
Webb and Captain Center denounce the
'Puritan's" action in bearing down upon
them as "sharp practice" and say that it
womld not be permitted if racing in English
waters. They think she tried to crowd them
off their course Mr.. Tams, OF the regatta
committee. and other prominent yachts
men, said last night that it was folly to
talk about sharp practice, Captain Crocker
bore away because he held the windward
position and in making his course to the
light ship was able to do so.
