ter. L am very sorry, for I miss him
very much. His illness at this time
is very unfortunate
The indications at Gali!ee N j.. to-
night are that the wind for tomorrow
yacht race will be from the southwest
in the morning, veering to south, with
indications Of going into the southeast
by nCen. There will be quite head
sea.
John R. Spears, the national expert,
says:
I'm spite of the fact that a lack Of
wind prevented the yachts covering their
course within the time limit, and in spite
of the manifest superiority Of Capt Ho-
garth's seamanship, the details of the
trial show that when the wind comes
alike to both the Columbia easily out
runs. outreaches and outpoints the
Shamrock in winds from fresh down to
light. The Shamrock will not get the
cup"
Two bets on the yacht racing series
were made on the stock exchange today,
one for $1,000 to $500 on Columbia, and
one $1,000 to $500 on Columbia.
SAME COURSE TO BE SAILED. ~
Some uncertainty has prevailed as to
the course which will be sailed by the
Columbia and Shamrock. The matter
was settled, however, this afternoon at
a meeting of the resatta committee,
which was held at the New York Yacht
club house After the meeting Mr. G.
Nicholson Kay announced that tomor-
rows race would be- as on Tuesday-ff-
teen miles to windward or leeward, and
a beat back. 1t seems that the. agree
ment between Sir Thomas Upton and
Columbias owners, relates that where 1t
is not possible to finish a course before
the time limit the same kind of race
must be continued Until the race Is
concluded. Consequently before the
two boats can meet on the three-leg
bout it will be necessary to settle the
capabilities of the two champions on the
straight away run Of ilfteer knots.
In consequence of the CT KY waning
daylight at this time of lle year. the
regatta committee today declared that
the start should be made 1045 a.. m.,
a difference of fifteen minutes from
the time previously fixed for the yachts
going over the line. - FOL
The inconclusive ending Of Tuesdays
encounter has tended materially to whet
the interest of the yachting enthusiasts
in the final outcome of the battle that
will see the cup still spiked to the deck,
as Capt. Bob Evans termed it, or
wrenched up and carted away to the
country which for so many years has
been unsuccessfu1ly fighting for 1T. Co.
umbias performance on Tuesday IS
generally regarded as proving her the
better boat of the two. The consensus
of opinion is that, given equal conditions
that is, when there are no f1uky winds
and no elements of atmospheric luck to
be calculated-the American boat can
both outfoot and output the foreigners.
Experts contend that while the Fl e
creation held her own in the slight and
paltry breezes which marked the first
race Tuesday, another tale will be tod
when the Columbia has chance to ex-
hibit her particular qualities of sailing
large and free.
NO LINE ON QUALITIES.
It is asserted also that there is nothing
tangible in the contention that the Elmer
aid slcop will prove stronger in breeze
than the defender. 1t was observable
that the Shamrock kicked up much more
fuss in the choppy sea than did the Co,
Iumbia, and it is inferred from this that
when she Goes meet a blow she will
thrash and make much worse Workrof 1t
than will her competitor.
However, when all is said and done,
this discussion upon the superiority OF
one boat over the other is SO much specu-
lation. Generally speaking, the first race,
considering the eccentric conditions I'M
der which it was sailed, proves nothing,
yacht is capable of doing than if the
contest had never been sailed. That IS
the opinion Of impartial and calnl-mind-
ed yachtmen, who saw and studied the
first trial between the Shamrock and Co
lumbia. One thing is universally agreed
TO among yachtsmen, and that is that
Hogarth proved himself a better seaman
than Barr. 1t was generally conceded
that the favoring fiukes which attended

point to favorable conditions for good
race. According to the forecast the
weather will be cloudy, with variable
winds, shifting to fresh easterly. This
latest indication would seem to offset the
reports sent cut early this morning that
the second race would be sailed in SPLEEN
