The Wind Goes Down.


After the Columbia had gotten a mile
ahead and the yachts were way over
under the Jersey shore, the breeze again
half failed and the Shamrock drew graz
ually ahead 1t was marvellous that in
so light breeze a boat could slip SO
swiftly through the sea.
After that the Shamrock was never
headed. but from that time to the finish
the Columbia had nothing but bad luck.
In addition TO her faster footing powers
in the extremely light air, every puff of
the oapricious wind seemed to strike the
Shamrock and leave the Yankee boat
practically becalmed. Edge as she would
toward every streak of wind, she seemed
unable to find it. The Shamrock gained
foot by foot until she overhauled the
Yankee, crossed her bows and when the
time limit was up was fully quarter of
mile ahead.
Taken altogether. there could not have
been a more unsatisfactory race and yet,
as a result of it, the friends of the cup
defender seemed proud OF the showing she
had made and feel confident that the cup
is safe

THE AMERICAN CUP COURSES.

out this morning fresh for battle, but
the sea had refused them a field Of
conflict. Under the rules the first race
is now postponed for two days or until
Thursday.
The day promised well at first. The
sky was smirched with a few dirty
clouds. but clear enough to permit the
thousands of spectators who lined the
Jersey shore to see almost every foot
of the course. The waves were crested
with white caps here and there and a
fairly fresh breeze blew out of the
north-northeast, but after the Columbia
and Shamrock had crossed the line the
wind turned flukey and the race was a
fizzle almost from the start. But the
fluke gave the yachting sharps and
spectators much to think about-and
some surprise.
The Columbia is undoubtedly the
prettier boat. She is tall, stately, with
graceful lines and towering masts.
The Irish boat, with her broader
beam and longer base line, looked slow
er and heavier. Perhaps her greentcolor

YACHT RACE DEVELOPS

Two Cup Hunters Showed Up.

New York. Oct. S.-As the sun set, a
great hall of fire, behind the Navesink
hills, and the sparkling stars came out
into the heavens, the biggest crowd Of
sightseers and yachtsmen who ever
sailed down to Sandy Hook to witness
the attempt of foreign mug hunter

crestfallen and disappointed. The winds
from the caves of old ocean had proved
too light and ehifty, and the first of the
international series of 1899 between the
two greatest racing machines ever pro-
duced by England and America, degen-
Grated into a drifting match and had
to be declared off because neither could
reach the finish line in the time allotted
by the rules.
To avoid just such winds as occurred
today in which luck and not the crew

time when the yachts were still four
miles from home, with the Shamrock
leading by something more than d
quarter of a mile the committee Off
cially declared there had been no race.
The yachts were then taken in tow by
their respective tugs and brought back
TO their anchorage inside Sandy Hook.

Americas cup is manifest in many
quarters. The afternoon papers give
the event as much prominence as the
TranSvaal situation, some of them
adopting American newspaper methods
and bulletining the position of the

lutte innovation in British journalism.

general sentiment, saying:
From first to last, this years contest

it was only in the lightest air that the
Shamrock could make Roadway against
her.
Both had their share of good and bad
luck. The Columbia had the better of
the shifting wind on the run down to
the mark, and beat the Shamrock two
minutes and four seconds, while on the
beat home, increasing her lead to over
a mile at one time. The Shamrock
overhauled the Columbia and was a
quarter of a mile ahead when the time
allowance expired.
Had Clear Course.
The feature of the race which pleased
everybody most was the perfectly clear
field which was maintained. For the
first time, this year the government
took a. hand to prevent a repetition of
the unfortunate occurrence which
marred the race when the excursion
boats, in their frenzied eagerness to let
none Of the beautiful spectacle escape,
crowded down upen the racers until
their back wash impeded their pro-
gress through the water and caused
Lord Dunraven TO file his protest.
The government was determined this
year that the course should be pro-
tected against unofficial trespassers. A

back to the north-northwest and left her
with a cloud of canvas shivering like a
collapsed balloon.
The Shamrock had started to follow
the Columbia tactics. Twice she lowered
her spinnalxer as. if to break out the big,
sail but as the wind held from the north
west quarter. she gibed her main boom
instead and reached straight for the mark.
Although the maneuver of the Columbia
had been successful, was a costly one,
and she lost several minutes by holding
hope that the wind would shift back
again. But when she did change her
sails she made up for lost time by out
footing her antagonist. She seemed to
skim over the water, scarcely making a
ripple where she entered it, and leaving
a wake of foam behind her.
Columbia the First.
The Shamrock made more fuss forward
and dragged a wave aft. The Columbia
was the first to mark and as she reached
the stake boat the excursion fleet gath
cred there to greet her. unbottled their
enthusiasm and gave her an ovation from
a thousand whistles. The feet also court
eously saluted the Shamrock as she swept
around, two minutes and one second later.

for the weather gauge, 1uffing, squeezing

fleet of revenue cutters and swift tor

| flags, guarded the course, keeping ex-
cursion steamers. yachts and tugs at
a perfectly safe distance from the can
vas clouded racers.
Patrol Well Maintained.
On the way down they maintained
two parallel lines, a mile apart, two line
fences through which not one OF the
pushing, crowding fleet of excursion
vessels was permitted to poke its nose.
The broad expanse of sea inside, with
out wash or swell, was left clear and
free for the maneuvering Of the racers.
On the way back the patrol vessels
were equally effective When the
yachts were on the starboard tack, the
torpedo boats were in column on the
same course, and the revenue cutters
abreast, behind the yachts, thus form
ing a. right and left in the hollow OF
which the yachts sailed without en-
barrassment.
When the yachts changed course, the
patrol fleet changed with it, simply al
tering the direction of the moving and
lee and kept the boats fenced off. 1t
was only toward the close, when the
hope of finishing the race was given up,
that the excursion boats crowded about
the ends of the patrol lines, many of
them making straights for home.
How Course Was Laid
The course was laid fifteen miles
dead before the wind and back again.
The direction of the wind carried this
Hook lightship, almost straight down
the Jersey coast to point off Asbury
park.
The Columbia was handsomely hand
led throughout the race. Though the
Shamrock was first across the line by
forty three seconds, the Columbia's
Deer island crew of Yankees, wearing
their picturesque watch caps in Iselin'S
colors, were so mucl handler than their
Scotch rivals that they had the Column
bias spinnaker and balloon jib set first
by three minutes.
The spectators marveled at the cloud
of canvas the Leviathians carried.
Straight up into the air the slender
yards carried the point of the pyramids

| that this means the height of an ordi-
nary twelve-story building, and that
/ the frail hups were bowling along un-

The twin balloons lifted the Columbia
| along like a great gull in the ten-knot
| breeze and carried her in ten minutes
past the Shamrock. But when the wind
died to six knots, as it did within a few
minutes, the Shamrock forged steadily
ahead, until at the end of forty-fve
minutes she led by 200 yards.
Sudden Haul of the Wind.
Then a sudden haul of the wind to the

stickers, today's race indicates that the
irish boat, with her English skipper
and her Scotch crew, is the ablest sloop
ever sent across the Atlantic in the
hope of lifting the 100 guinea cup,
which the America brought back forty
eight years ago. and which has since
been successfully defended against the
world
During the five and one-half hours,
the Shamrock was thrice ahead and
twice the Yankee boat showed the way.
For the first ten minutes the Shamrock
led and then for five the Columbia's
graceful bow showed ahead of the
green boat; for forty-five minutes the
Shamrock; then for three hours the Co
lunlbia, and for the last hour and a half
it was the Shamrock that led the way.
The breeze blew as high as twelve
knots an hour and as low as three and
shifted about through eight points of
the compass.

experts who saw the two boats sail to-
