GREAT STRUGGLE, HOWEVER

New York, Oct. 9.There was a spank
ing breeze from the north northeast and
a heavy swell from the eastward when
the yach. >ulumbia, under mainsail and
lib, filled away from point off the
Southwest spt Saturday at 0;25 and,
with ST. cts ,cd trile, headed for the
Sandy Hook ,;htship ut a Il knot clip
The Shamlocl. nade an early start from
Sandy Hook biy. She passed out by the
point of the Hook at 9:05, carrying the
same sails as the Columbia, arriving Off
the lightship a few minutes before 10.
At 1850 the tug which was to drop the
outer mark started to log off the course
Is miles to leewaid. -Four minutes later
down came the Shamrock's club topsail,
and in just nine minutes her biggest jack
yarder was mastheaded and sheeted out
The Columbia kept her No. . topsaif on,
Captain Barr probably hoping that it
would be a more desirable sail in the
windward work and that it would not
make sufficient difference in the work
down the wind.
At IL: 05 the preparatory signal was
given. at HIS the warning signal and ut
11:20 the gun to start. When the warn
ing signal was given, both yachts were

ward, and both heading to the southwest
The wind was t'ion iaht from the north
northeast, with little promise of it fresh
ching. The Columbia luffed first of the
two until she was close on the wind on
the starboard tack. heading as if to cross
the committee boats bow. The Sham
rock stood on little longer, then gybed
and came up OH the sare tack, setting
her staysail as she did so. Captain
Barr, to fill in the time. kept the Column
bia off for about so seconds. then. lulling
her sharp on the wind again. headed her
to fetch close by the committee boats
bow on the way to the line. Her staysal
had not been set vet. and the Shamrock
was travelling with better headway TO-
ward the same spot. Skipper Hogarth,
seeing his chance. it now being less than
n minute before cunfrc. sent the Sham
rocks bowsprit close along the Colum-
HAS lee ouarter. ready TO huff out at gun
fire If the opDort,ln;ty came. Both Yachts
were running parallel to the line. neither
daring to keep off until the signal. They
were down about the center of the line
