zine Shamrock STRUCK n rresler breeze
Dffshore on port tack. The Columbia
seemed to be almost becalmed, whlle
Shamrock went ahead. The excursion
fleet gave thcm better room.
The Shamrock now secured a good lead.
The Columbia struck light breeze ana
forged ahead again. but she was well IN
the rear. The wind was still very light.
The Columbia pulled up on the sham
rock through fortunate puff and re-
duced the challenger's lead.
Downing Racing Clothes.
The Columbia was the first to begin the
work of DOMINIC her fighting clothes,
sending up forestaysai and jibs in
stops. The crew of the Shamrock was
at breakfast in the tender Plymouth at
the time, but the crew of the Columbia
did not leave their work for some time,
when they, too, went to a hurried break
fast. Shamrock's crew began to haul on
peak and throat halyards when there
was a haze over the water. The haze
began to fade before the wind, which
then had tendency to haul more east
erly.
The launch Kllowen of the Upton flo
tilla had made five trips to the Atlantic
highlands. bringing many friends of the
Irish baronet from the steamboat pier to
the Erin. The following guests were on
that boat: Rear Admiral Lord Charles
Beresford of the British navy, Mayor
and Mrs. Burbank. Right Hon Arthur
Morley, Sir Henry Burdett, Chevalier de
MARITIME and Lieutenant Colonel Shar-
man Crawford.
Sailmaker Ratsey and his two assist
~,
Shamrock early, and Designer Fife, who
was far from well, having been attacked
with inflammatory rheumatism, brought
his oilskins with him when he boarded
the racer, shortly after the master sail
maker.
The direction of the wind continuing
north northeast it was then thought
that if Is miles to windward course
We're to be laid with the wind from the
quarter, the starting line would have to
be shifted to the Scotland ightship. if
not still farther inshore to the southwark.
The proximity of the Long Island coast
would make it impossible to make a
windward course from Sandy Hook light
ship.
The tug James A. Lawrence started
early to tow Shamrock toward the open
SEA. HIS early SldfL WAS lulle IL Sltil
on the excursion boats. few of which at
that hour had even left the metropolis.
AS the Shamrock was towing ont by the
point of Sandy Hook she met the old
cup defender Nigilant, owned by Percy
Chubb. sailing out under mainsail, jib,
forestaysail and gaff topsail, bound out
to see the fun. The champion of 1893
went along like a witch in the stiff wind,
and quite smoothly at that, although the
waves were still showing fangs of white.
Coumbia's crew began setting the
mainsail, and her attending tug. the
Wallace Il. Flint. moved toward her to
run the towing line. The Shamrock was
well out by the point before the cup de-
fender started from her mooring. and
Captain Patterson of the life saving sta
ton at the point of the Hook remarked:
"There is an old saying in yacht cir
Giles that the first out the last home"

Too Much Realism.

Nine. de Navarro has recorded in "A
Few Memories" the greatest lesson she
ever received against too much real
ism. In Il certain drama the heroine,
under great excitement suddenly stops
to gain conlpoSure as she hears the
approaching carriages of the guests.
"Hark!'' she says. Il hear the
wheels Of their carriagcs.'
We obtained the effects of approach
ing wheels, but. try as we would the
stamping of the horses feet upon the
gravel before Clarisses door we could
not manage. At last a brilliant idea
struck me. which the stage manager
promptly Endorsed.
1t was that we should have in a
donkey from Covent Garden to trot u
and down behind the scenes on tie
gravel especially laid for him. We
were decidedly nervous on the first
appearance of our four footed friend,
whose role was to counterfeit the high
stepping horses of the brilliant French
court.
When his cue was given, there was
ONLY an ominous silence. l repeated
the word in a louder voice. when such
a Drawing and scuilling We're heard as
sent the audience into roars of laugh
| ter. Although it was one of the most
serious situations of the play. | could
not help joining in they mirth until
the tears rolled down my cheeks.
