And Friday we found Shamrock out
footing Columbia down the wind to
the outer mark, only to see her passed
by Columbia on the thrash to wind
ward home, and then to find her once
more in the front holding safe lead
toward the mark, when Columbia
crawled up on her until both yachts
crossed the line on even terms, nose
and nose, something which, it is safe
to say, will never again be repeated in
a race for the Americas Cup.
The challenger won none of the races
of the series but in each of them she de-
monstrated that she was foeman not
to be despised. There are many who
with Sir Thomas Lipton, would like to
have seen the Shamrock carry off one
victory, but it seems that with all her
splendid qualities, she could not COM
pete with a Yankee built boat and q
Yankee crew. Columbia's hOnors were
fairly won, and tribute will not only
be paid her by patriotic citizens of this
country, but many will attest to hel
superiority across the sea.
