Fair Contest

with the wind fresh and steady, the
course clear of all Instructions and no
tides of any consequences. the Sham
rock I today beat Sir Thomas Lipton's
new boat 5 minutes and 5 seconds over
a triangular course of about twenty
miles. The only possible disadvantage
to the challenger was in the fact that
h used her old mainsail which sets
worse since it's salt water bath of
Thursday. There was no discoverable
holding back OF the challenger, al
though once or twice she pointed such
a course as left the suspicion tina the
steersman was not taking advantage
OF every chance. There is no doubt
the result Of today's trial was distinct
ly disappointing to those who had
pinned their faith to the new challeng-
