DEED OF GIFT NOT HARD AND FAST
POSSIBLE TO MAKE MUCH TROUBLE FOR
CHALLENGERS SHOULD THE
SHAMROCK WIN.

II Is said 70 be probable that If the Shamrock
should win the series of yacht races there wouId
be some nice points be discussed by the Royal
Ulster Yacht Club and the present trustees OF
the trophy. The present deed calls for complete
acceptance by winning club of the terms OF the
deed of gift Of 1851 This deed was made by George
]. Schuyler, sole surviving owner of the cup
10 the NeWYork Yacht Club. IL provided tnat q
like instrument should be executed by the New-fork
Yacht Club and the club whose yacht won the
Cup. Successive similar documents were TO De exc
cuted by all clubs winning the trophy.
Under the mutual agreement clause IN tne oeeu
several challenges have been put IN ana rsGGs itb
the of the deed. and IL is generally sup
sdered nscessaTy to- be- observed is tantamount to
an exteusion or change of the deed Itself; For
instance. Lord Dunraven did not wait TO observe

the new trustee at liberty practically TO alter the
terms Of the deed? Some assert that the deed must
be strictly followed But the New York Yacht
Club has itself not strictly followed it, and has.
through the mutual agreement clause made exten-
sive alterations in the conditions.
Another sun more important point is that when
this last deed made il the distinct in
tention, fully expressed in the document, that no
club should be allowed to challenge for the Cup

IS as TO what powers the new trustee would have.

be the deed? Any part OF II may be altered by ar

THE ELAPSED TINE.

The Shamrock's elapsed time TO the outer
mark was hours "a minutes and IS seconds.
The Columbia's elapsed time hours %
minutes and 81 seconds. The difference be-
tween the boats as timed at the mark was 80
seconds.
AS the boats now proceeded homeward the
Columbia found that she had to take the south
erly side of the course. which was not the most
advantageous position. but after she got her
sails in a good drawing order she began TO de-
crease very gradually the Shamrocks lead, and
az Isl seemed to be even terms or ahead.
She subsequently, drew about a length and a half
ahead.
For the next hour there very little diff
ference in the sailing Of the boats. The Sham
rock lost her lead partly through having her
balloon jib sheeted too fiat, but as far as sails
were concerned there was nothing beyond this
to put the Columbia ahead. AS has been sug-
gested a number OF times in these columns. the
Columbia proved her ability to drift slightly
faster before n light wind. and the proof was
that the larger and deeper underbody OF the
Shamrock was not easily pushed through the
water with a light force as was the shaliower
upper hull OF the Columbia.
After the Shamrock flowed out her balloon jib
sheet she did better. and the sail filled away
and did it's intended work we'll as that of the
Columbia and after that there was no perceptl-
BILE gain on the part of the Columbia Tor an
hour and a half. She went out perhaps length
or two ahead, and there she stopped relatively
speaking, and after that the supposed gains or
losses on either side were wholly due to the
position of the steamer from which the observa-
ton was taken. If passing homeward in the
southerly division sof the excursion boats the
Columbia would seem TO fall back If the OBJ
servation vessel steamed ahead. and vice versa
AT 3:10 judged from view slightly astern or
the racers. the Columbia seemed TO be something
over one length in the lead They were now
about two miles from the finishing line at the
Sandy Hook Lightship, and it had been fore
gone conclusion within FIVE minutes after round
ing the outer mark that the Shamrock would not
take this race, because she had to allow forty
three seconds in time allowance, and two more
ished exactly even il would mean that the
Shamrock was practically forty-fivei seconds be-
hind.
From here on to the finish the breeze in
creased, and went back TO its nine mile gait.
The steamers had to so at good speed 10 keep
up with the yachts. In this increased wind the
Shamrock picked up a little the Columbia,
but so far as the sailing was concerned there
was nothing more TO record on the run to the
finish line. So far as could be seen not a sheet
was touched on either boat in the last hour and
a half, and a greater similarity of pace in this
line of sailing before the wind could not have
been produced more accurately in one-desisn

Columbia payed off in reality to her course, and
at l:31 broke out her spnnaker. Seeing this

The official time OF the Shamrock at the outer
mark was 1:25:12. and that of the Columbia was

Mr.. James Harmon Heidi, we'll
known and respected citizen of Savan-
nah. died at his residence, 223. Barnard

an illness that extended over four
weeks.
Mr.. Heidi suffered a paralytic stroke
a week ago last Saturday, and since
that time has been critically ill. A
second and lesser stroke came on
Thursday last. From then on he did
not recover consciousness, remaining
in painless stupor until death took
him away last night.
Mr.. Heidi was born in Effiugham
county 6S years ago. He came to Sa-
vannah shortly after the war and en-
gagged in business here, but afterwards
returned to his old home, near Guyton.
About eighteen months ago he came
again to the city and succeeded the
late George w. Parish in the conduct
of the agricultural implement business
on St. Julian street.
Mr.. Heidi married sister of Mr. j.
G. Slater of Savannah, and his wife,
with one son, Samuel B. Heidi, sur
wives him. He leaves also two sisters,
Mrs. M. E. Nungezer and Mrs. F IS.
Morgan, both of this city.
Mr.. Heidi was a consistent and
prominent member of Trinity Metho-
dist Caurch. The funeral will take
place from the residence at O'Clock
this afternoon. The services at the
house and at the grave in Laurel
Grove will be conducted by Rev. Ed.
F, Cook.

Of those who made clean scores.
Rather neat amounts were cleaned
up by some of the best shots. The
entrance fees required were high
enough to make the competition very
interesting In the 10-bird event there
was something more than 500 to be
shot for, while in that in which there
were twenty birds shot. the entrance
money amounted to 1920.
In two of the events the money was
divided by class rules, which provide
that the division shall be among all
those making the two highest scores.
In the other two the money went to
the high gun. The biggest killing was
made by DIR. Wilson, who took down
$40 in the third event, making clean
score of twenty birds.
The following were the scores made
in each event:
