Cheers In the Music Halls for the winner
Press Comment Cheerful.

5s0ai Gable Despatch 10 THIS
LONDON. Oct 1.-THE nascos hitherto made
by the Shamrock and Columbia and the war
fcrvor had nearly destroyed all interest in the
yacht races here. and the actual achieve
ment OF race to-day attracted only languid
interest. There was very little betting at the
sporting clubs, but the odds in such wagcrs as
were made slightly favored the Columbia The
evening papers issued special editions giving
the details and result OF tho contest. but m ct
with only moderate sales
The result was announced In some OF the
music halls. elciting temporary manifestations
OF disappointment. but these were followed by
cheers and the bands played Tho Star
Spangled Banner"
American centres were intensely intsrss ted
In the outcome Of the race. There was n crowd
OF Americans at the Hotel Cecil excitedly
watching the ticker. When the result ap-
peared on the tape the crowd chesred enthus-
iastically and then Justify sang Yankee
Doodle"
The newspapers in their editorials take the
beating cheerfully. The Standard says
Though we are not greatly surprised at the
Columb ia winning we could not have expected
that 1t would have been by such margin
We can only infer that the Columbia in
moderate breeze and going to windward In a
smooth sea is the faster boat"
The Daily Ne,rs admits that tho Shamrock
was handsomely beaten. but says that prob
ably the yachts are as nearly equal as two boats
can be. all the difference being in the Judgment
with which they are sailed.
The Morning Post says: We admit that the
Shamrock was fairly beaten. II we had merely
yesterdays race on which to base calculations
we should havo to admit that the Columbia is
the bettar boat"
The Chronicle declares that it cannot pre-
tend to explain the Shamrock defeat in
wind that was supposed to specially favor
her.
The Daily Mail says that Column bia was
handled much better than on previous days
The Times says: 1T can hardly be de-
MED that the Shamrock's performance
was little disappointing. The breeze,
to judge from the recent trials. ought to
have brought out her sailing powers. II may.
perhaps, be inferred that the Shamrock was to
some extent outgen eralIed in the early part OF
the race. Our correspondent confirms the
notion that the conditions were pretty even
for both yachts when he says emphatically that
the Columbia won fairly and squarely on her
merits"
