TO-DAY'S RACE.
The Columbia Leading the Repaired aud
Improved Shamrock.


Special TO EvENINe HERALD.
New York. Oct l9.-The Shamrock pre-
sented herself at tho rendezvous of Sandy
Hook this morning repaired, remeasured aud
ready for her third race with the Columbia
for the Americas cup. The topmast which
was carried away during the race tor the cup
last Tuesday. was replaced by new topmast
of Oregon pine, and the boat also carried a
new Oregon pine gaif substituted for the
metal GAIT she carried in the previous races.
Another improvement to the vessel since
the accident WAS the addition Of II tons Of
lead ballast aud this latter change made It
necessary for the Shamrock to allow the
Columbia Is 2-lO seconds.
When the boats assembled for the race the
wind was blowing 10 knots an hour and was
increasing. The weather was fair and every
thing pointed to good race.
1t was 1l:O2 when the yachts started, the
Columbia crossing the line first. The sham
rock followed few seconds later. At ll:3O
the Columbia had a good lead, and twenty
minutes later she was leading the Shamrock
by an eighth of mile and gaining steadily.
At 1920 the Columbia was holding her
lead and the wind continued blowing at the
rate of ten knots The race continued in
this way and at 1245 it looked like an early
finish the wind still keeping up.
The Columbia was taking advantage Of all
the wind. increasing her lead to three
quarters of mile at 110, but fifteen miu-
utes later the symptoms became uniavonble.
The wind commenced to die out and fears
were expressed that the race could not be
finished within the time limit.
At 1:4O tue yachts appeared becalmed and
very close together.
At 2:3O the weather had become very hazy
and it interfered with the view of the race.
The yachts appeared to be running home aud
the Coumbia's position indicated that she
had lead of a quarter of mile.

A few seasons ago it was generally con-

no better illustration of the falsty of this
assertion can be offered than that of The Gus
Sun Rising Minstrels, who will appear at
Fergusou's theatre tomorrow evening
Theatrical managers are unanimous in the
statement that minstrelsy is one of the per-
manent fixtures of amusement. The Sun
Minstrels rank among the foremost and we
