Special 10 EVENING HERALD.

New York, Oct 5-The Columbia and
Shamrock raced again to-day for the Amer
ica's cup, amid the same enthusiasm that
marked the event last Tuesday. The race
and conditions were the same as those on the
day when the first race was declared of on
account of neither yacht returning within the
allotted time. the course being laid fifteen
miles dead before the wind and back again.
The weather was hazy at the start and the
wind light, the latter being accepted by the
Shamrock admirers as favorable omen for
their racer, but from the general conditions
there was belief that both vessels would
fail to get back on time.
The Shamrock repeated her trick Of last
Tuesday and got over the starting line first,
at 11:O11 The Columbia followed at 1l:10.3,
making more favorable start than she did
in the last race. The Columbia appeared to
be much better handled to day than she was
on the preceding occasion aud her hackers
appeared to have still greater confidence in
her than at any other time.
At 11;21, with three knots covered, the
yachts were apparently on even terms and
the handling of both excited the thousands
of spectators on the accompanying
steamboats, and yachts The Columbia
was acting beautifully and at 114O
she appeared to be slightly ahead, There
was almost dead calm prevailing and this
again brought up visions of fuke. The
calm finally worked to the Columbias dis
advantage and favored the Shamrock, and at
1890, with the wind beginning to blow about
six miles an hour, the challenger was lead
ing. The revival Of the wind, however,
filled out the Columbia's sails, and at 12:i5
she had attained a lead of half a mile and
was steadily increasing it,
At one o'clock the Yankee vessel had in
creased her lead to a mile and was still going
at distance increasing pace.
1t was looking very blue for the Shamrock
at 2:25, the Columbia having increased her
lead to mile and half. Tue fog had
cleared and the wind had shifted to the south
1t was blowing at the rate of seven miles an
hour, but the outer stakeboat had not been

At three o'clock the Columbia had lost heI
lead and the yachts were neck and neck
They continued in this order, and at 3:45
were seven miles from the finish line. Al
that time it did not look as if the yacht.
could finish within the time allowed.
At o'clock message was received at the

Gen. White attributes his loss Of
troops at Ladysmith TO the fact that
mules ran away with the guns and
ammunition OF his thanking force. Of
course they did. Mules always do that
under Ere, unless they take the oppo-
site course and stand stockstill, re-
fusing to move at all when movement
is indispensable.
During our Civil war artilIerymen
on both sides learned this popularity
OF the mule by unlucky experience
whenever and wherever they tried to
use mules in battle. The mule is like
a certain brlgadier- general concern
ing whom q Kentucky colonel once
testified before q court-martial that
he was "a brave man, but much too
nervous for war"
The wonder IL that Gen. White did
not know this fact and send horses
instead OF mules to draw his ammu-
milton wagons and guns.
