lenger appeared to be leading by fully
half a mile. The talent began TO feel
nervous, but as the yachts approached
the finish the Yankee skipper, by some
miraculous legcrdemain, showed his
boat into the light air like a phantom
ship, and 100 yards from home the
two racers were almost on even Terms.
II wns a pretty sight and n seldom
witnessed, when they crossed rail to
rail, the white yachts bowsprit just
tapping the golden boats mast.
The usual pandemonium that nt-
tends the final Yankee victory In n
cup contest followed. Whistles, bells,
bands and cheers united in n grand
chorus of jubilation and j. Pierpont
Morgnn's steam yacht Corsair added
TO the terrific din by firing n national
salute OF 81 guns.
After the Columbia had hauled
down her snils and set her victory flag
the excursion boats crowded alongside
TO cheer the Yankee sailors and tina
winning skipper. Nor did they forget
either Upton or his gallant craft. In
turn the crowded steamers ran along
side the Shamrock and Erin and the
vanquishcd received almost as much
honor as the victor.
And thus. with fluctuations all
around, the twelfth series of races for
the old cup which the schooner Amer.
lea brought over 80 years ago ended
with the best OF feeling.

Thomas Upton made no attempt "a
