New York, 1886 p. m.-Columbia wins. A
magnificent race and not settled till the
American boat crossed the line.
Columbia crossed the line first and the
official time is: Columbia, S:S1:O7; Sham
rock, 3:31:44.
Official time at finish as given by Mar
conf: Shamrock 9:91:O4, Columbia, S;31:O7.
$40 p. m.-The wind has fallen to seven
knots Shamrock has baan gaining and
has almost overhauled Columbia. They
are two miles from the finish. 1t is any
body's race.
New York, Sept. 28.-Both yachts were
on the starboard tack as they crossed the
starting line. The fight for position was
fine one. Shamrock held for the line
closehauled while Columbia ran along the
line and crossed her bow, taking UP her
position on the foreigners lee bow.
The yachts were sent away within a
minute of the appointed time. Shamrock
took the honors of to-day's start. the Of
fetal time Of crossing being:
Shamrock, 11:OO:14; Columbia, 11OO:16.
Shamrock occupied the weather berth.
The jockeying at the start was in no way
as spectacular as that displayed in the
maneuvering prior to the start of Thurs
days contest, and whatever of honors
there were went to the captain of Sham
rock.
Promptly at 1O:45 the preparatory gun
was fired. Shamrock at once broke out
her number one jib topsail. Columbia
sent the same canvas up in stops and a
moment later broke out. 1t was not long
before they came together in the leeward
There was little real maneuvering, how
/ ever, until 1886, when the warning gun
doomed. Both boats bore down from the
weather side of the line on port tack, with
| the American boat to windward. Sham
rock undertook to head in, but Columbia
came little higher into the wind and
still had her rival under her lee.

! tack and the Britisher followed speedily.
They passed outside the committee boat.
Shamrock came about for the turn first.
She was trife quicker in stays. appar-
emily, and got away more rapidly than
Columbia. This gave Shamrock a chance
to take the windward berth from Column
bia and the foreigner went to leeward of
the committee boat on the way back to the
line. The American skipper thought to
overcome the disadvantage under which
he had been placed and went to windward
of the mark boat.
1t was too late, however. and as the
yachts again came together behind the
| line Shamrock caught him In an awkward
position. The Yankee evidently saw
his fix and made the best Of it, bearing for
the line as the starting gun was fired to
| leeward of Shamrock and little to the
rear! Both crossed the line with booms
to port on the starboard tack.

The outer mark was then not
more than six miles away and
the battle had reached an excit-

giving wonderful exhibition Of
seamanship and under the condi-

wind Shamrock again, but the maneuver
was not effective. Shamrock had a fine
position on the weather Of the American
boat and all of the efforts Of Columbia to
forereacb here were unavailing. The wind
was steadily increasing
By half past eleven all conceded that
Shamrock was ahead. They were both
on the starboard tack sailing northeast
and Shamrock seemed to be gaining.

Columbia Astern.

At 1883 D. m, after two hours of sail@
ing Shamrock again went about on the
port tack, followed closely by the Amert-
can boat. Columbia got the windward
berth, but was astern. They held this
tack for three-Quarters Of an hour in d
neck and neck race. The boats were not
a hundred yards apart, but Shamrock
maintained her lead clean through to the
outer mark. At this mark the great
yachts were making a royal race, but
Shamrock had the right berth and Cap
tain Sycamore swung her around the
stake boat a little more than half a min

Thus Shamrock was in actual sailing

And so it was necessary that Shamrock
should gain on Columbia seven seconds
