The Columbia was to windward OF the
Shamrock the official time being:
Columbia. n:1o:4s.

The challenger went on the port tack just
after crossing and the defender followed her
example. In order to get free from the back

inr her considerably. the Shamrock was
kent broad Off tho wind and she speedily
worked clear of her rival. going through
the water very fast. The Columbia heio
her Iuff and it was noticed that when the
two were close hauled the American yacnt
pointed higher than the Shamrock. AT this
fine the wind freshened a little.
The Shamrock went about on inc star
board tack at 11:2s The Columbia also
t.rked. The American boat is quicker IN
stays and gathers way faster than the
sbamrock. At 11:35 the Columbia went on
the mort tack and crossed the bows OF the
shamrock a good 800 yards in the lead. This
was quite encouraging to the admirers OF
the American yacht, who had begun TO
fear for their favorite when they saw how
fast the Shamrock footed when kept OIL the
wind with clean full.
Al II :4s both yachts went on the starboard
tack. The little extra pun only lasted q
