- II. America is standing on tip
"A toe. From the busy offices 'rf
~ Wall street. New York, to the
crowded wharfs of Seattle. from the
lumber camps OF northern Michigan TO
the Mexican border line, every good
American is looking anxiously toward
Sandy Hook, waiting for the first news
of the great international yacht race.

stanch Columbia, the flower of the west,

Emerald Isle and the old world? VIII
the cup of the Old America, which Un-
Gle Sam has held SO long, remain with
us, or will IL be carried triumphantly
BACK to England by Sir Thomas Upton
and his Clyde built racer?
Such questions only time can answer.
Today everything stands i'm doubt. The
early confidence of the American
yachtsmen who once grew enthusiastic
over the beautiful lines and the airy
lightness OF the Columbia has been
somewhat shaken since the omnous
looking Shamrock has been futterins
up and down the Jersey coast like
frightened gull after her astounding
dash across the Atlantic. Splendid as are
the lines and the sailing qualities of the
Columbia, there has been a feeling Of
vague uneasiness since the Irish racer
has stretched her canvas in American
waters. "a dark horse say old sea
