stitution by sharp sailing and there
were several other occasions where he
obtained a decided advantage by such
tactics, which it may be said are per-
fectIy fair and honorable.
1t is on this that the members Of
the New York Yacht club are relying
to win Tuesdays race. the ability of
Captain Barr to berth his boat to
windward at the start, his slkillfulness
in holding her there to the windward
mar the speed of the Columbia on a
reach, and finally, If lacking slightly in
these, speed on the home run.
If Captain Barr can win Tuesday
race the club men will heaVe a long
sigh of relief, but until that triangular
course contest is decided in favor of
Columbia the cup viii be considered
if not in actual danger of returning, at
least as rocking in its glass case in its
depository.
The owners, captains and crews of
the racers spent a Guiet day at Sandy
Hook today Captain Barr visited some
friends on shore but Captain Sycamore
remained on board the Puerto Rico,
the Shamrock's tender, all day.
Upton Talks of Accident
Soon after noon, the revenue cutter
Gresham anchored in the bay just
ahead of the Erin. AS soon as she ar
rived Sir Thomas Upton made up
party including George l. Wilson. Mr..
DR.. Mackay, Commodore billiard and
Robert IRE, and boarded the cutter in
his steam launch. His purpose was
not to find fault with Captain Walker
of the Gresham for running down the
Erin during Saturdays race, but rather
to assure him that the damage was
trif1ing, and at the same time repay
social call which Captain and Mrs.
Walker had paid him recently.
Sir Thomas and his party were shown

son was entertained by Mrs. Walker,
Mrs Hall and Miss Hall. After leav-
ing the Gresham, Sir Thomas party
at the invitation of Butler Ames. own
er of the schooner yacht America, the
famous cup winner of fifty years ago.
went On board that schooner and took
a sail down the bay.
Later Sir Thomas said: Captain
Walker of the Gresham and I are old
friends and the fact that his boat ran
into mine accidentally will not mar
the friendship for a moment. The dam
age is not so very serious. It will ne
ceszitate docking the ship, of course
but that can be done after the races
As long as no one was hurt on board
/ the yacht I shall not grumble at all
because it might have been so much
worse, you know
When asked if he wished 10 say any
thing concerning the alleged story that
his captains had sold him out last
al Oh AADAlldS cdAu- nat Is an
old story which I denied some time

thing Hore about it just now"
OF Saturdays race he declared he
had nothing to say except to repeat
I that with good strong breeze the
Shamrock would do better than she
did Saturday
From the outside. the dent in the
port quarter of the Erin where the
Gresham struck her shows a deem de-
preston in the sheer strake plate inst
abaft the gangway ladder. The after
end of the plate is pushed and some of
the rivets are sheared. The wooden
wearing piece or moulding at the wat
erways is splintered, but a little paint
will cover up the damage temporarily.
At the same time considerable dam
age has been done inside. the end OF a
beam having buckled. and TO repair
this and the plate it viii require several
weeks in dry dock so said a naval ar
chitect today, and the expenditure of
quite a sum of money.
