Barre evening telegram. (Barre, Vt.) 1898-19??, 1899-10-06

The Columbia jibed over TO the star
board tack, and the Shamrock at once
followed. AS the yachts filed away the
Shamrock was again placed in the wealth
er berth, but she had dropped so far be-
hind during the long lufing match that
it was impossible for her to take away
any of the Columbia's wind, and the cup
defender still gained steadily The luf-
ing had taken the boats so far out OF
their course that they were Obliged to
sail south by west to reach the outer
mark.
The wind seemed to be increasing
slightly. and 1t drove the Columbia ahead
faster than the Shamrock.
The spinnaker pole on the Shamrock
was shifted over to starboard, but the
spinnaker was not set for some time.
The Columbia maintained her lead.
The Columbia rounded the stakeboat
first the Shamrock following some ten
minutes later. The yachts were now
sailing faster than before.
About seven miles from the finish the
yachts began to run under spinnakers,
Columbia having hers set to port. Sham
rocks was set to starboard.
The Shamrock now began to pull up
little. The yachts We're not sailing very
fast at this time.
