the starboard tack. They caught a
light breeze sou,award. The yachts
don't seem from here to be more than
100 yards apart.
SANDY HOOK. $50 y. NIT looks
from here as II the two yachts have
yet long stretch to the turning buoys.
HIGHLANDS. 2:5I y. m.-The fog
has tust lifted. II seems as though
the two yachts were running to the
lightship before the wind and close to-
gether. Impossible to say which is
ahead.
p. m.--The leading boat now ap-
pears to be quarter OF a mile ahead.
They will seemingly have no difIiculty
In finishing within the time limit.
500 p. NIT Is impossible to dis
tingulsh distinctly the boats. The stern
boat looks like the Shamrock, and n

q quarter of mile. II the wind holds
out the American boat appears to look
q winner.
3:03 p. m.-The two boats have
sailed apparently more than half way
to. the finish and look to be about sew
en- miles from the lightship. The ex-

ing them q good chance. They are
running under spinnakers. the Colum-
bia having hers set to port. The Sham

but appears to be set to starboard.
During the last. few minutes the
Shamrock has pulled up a bit on the
Columbia! The boats ought to finish
within the time limit.
3:O6 p. m.-The stern yacht. which
appears to be the Shamrock, has at last
caught favorable pun Of wind and Is
somewhat overhauling the leader. The
race Is very close one at this time.

pears to be the Columbia, has taken
In her spinnaker and both are run
ming now with booms to starboard and
balloon jibs set.

out spinnakers to port. The rear boat,
evidently the Shamrock. seems to have
gained trife. he race Is very close

four and five miles from the stakeboat
on the first leg, and the Columbia has
apparently the best steerage way.
while only about 400 yards in the lead.
The wind does not all the sails and is
light and irregular, with a CLASSY sea.
The Shamrock has apparently had the
best luck for the past hour.
HIGHLANDS. 3:17 p. m.-During
the last five minutes the stern boat has
pulled up on the leader and from this
point appears to be only short dis
lance behind. 1t looks to be a very
exciting finish.
1921 p. m.-The leading yacht. which
appears to be the Columbia, has taken
In her spinnaker, and, catching a IA
vorable shift of wind, is fairly out
footing her rival.

steam yacht Columbia has passed here
