New York. Sept. Eff Barr bears down
upon me tomorrow as he did yesterday.
I'll hit the Columbia.
THE only reason I refrained from doing
so yesterday was because the public might
think was 'hogging' things. Such work as

yachting rules of Great Britain"
This startling threat was made by Cap
tain Sycamore. the skipper of the Shamrock

He seemed disappointed about something.

The position of either the Columbia or

"Wind. wind; my kingdom for a wind"
This is the united sentiment of the two hos
tile hotillas that lie In camp behind Sandy
Hook. within a hundred yards Of each 9TH
er. They are hostile because they are op-
ponents. but they are far from enemies.
I'VE must have wind said Sir Thomas
tonight. "and from the present indications
We shall get 1t tomorrow. II 1t comes, and
there is race, all America and all Britain
will rejoice. for then We shall have the
first adequate test of the yachts"
'All desire is a good breeze tomorrow"
said E. D. Morgan. managing owner Of the
Columbia, on board the Park City. the
Columbia's tender. Don't interpret this to
mean that In a strong wind the Columbia
caa win, for. as to that. only the test can
tell: but 1 want a race-a good. bona flde
contest, where the metal Of both the marine
steeds can be tested.
Yesterdays race was not only no race
but it was no contest Because the Ameri-
can boat was in the lead when we had
fukes In the wind, 1t is no reason why
we should declare that the Columbia has
outclassed the Shamrock. Time alone can
solve that problem. We hope for victory,
but that is all we can do at present. The
Columbia Is in as good condition to-day as
she was yesterday. and never was she In
better condition than she was then. She Is
an old and a tried boat, and we know her
every inch. We are all hoping and praying
for q good breeze, and now there is some
slight indication that We may have 1t. but
of course no one can tell until the NOR

goes, a poor man, and his chief concern
was to leave enough property to care for
his widow and aged mother. as his mother
was alive when the will was drawn. His
mother, however, died about q month and q
