 As The yachts approached the outer mark a stream of signal flags were set on the revenue cutter Gresnon, the flagship of the patrol fleet instructing them in the international language of the sea to change direct by the right flag. The patrol boats swung around to line of west and charged down upon the excursion feet The latter with bells changing in the engine rooms. for more speed. turned tail and the whole fleet rushed madly to leeward of the last leg of the course.
 Leaving the first mark on the star board hand the racers gybed over their big booms and went careening for the second mark, the Columbia gaining slowly but surely. They had covered the first ten miles in a little over fifty minutes. When they swung around the second stake they took in their baby jibtopsails and hauled their wind for the beat home. Both yachts heeled un- til their underbodies were lifted high over the water and their lee rails dipped a foot into the swirling pillows.

The concert of sound was terrific. Un- til after the gallant Shamrock, beaten but not disgraced. crossed a minute and eighteen seconds later, whistles and sirens were kept going. When they died away the bands could be heard playing Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean, Yankee Doodle" and other pa- triotic airs The steam yacht Carsair was the first of the fleet to signalize the Ameri can victory by setting the starry ban 3ner at her mast heads. By this time all the shippers had had ample time to ransack their lockers and within minute afterward every vessel in the fleet was alive with banners.
