AFTER 80 minutes OF sailing, both
going at terrific pace the yachts
had sailed about half of the first
leg, and try as the American skip
per would, he did not seem to be
able to lessen his flying rivals
good lead
..................... ...................-o
The splendid wind sent the great white
elouded racers fairly spinning along
toward the outer mark. Every square
inch of their canvas from their ballooners
down to the very bottom of the mainsails
seemed to draw perfectly. They were sail
ing wing-a- wing, the huge spinnakers
out to starboard and mainsails to port,
the enormous cloud Of canvass hiding the
hull. But the English yacht was not to
be overtaken. She had more square feet
of sail and every one of these feet was
telling in the beautiful run before the
wind
Beat Home on Even Terms.
1t looked as if Shamrock meant to make
up the forty-three seconds which she had
to give her rival so that when the outer
mark had once been turned it would be a
thirds of the first leg had been covered it
seemed certain that she would be able to
hold her lead under the weather condi-
tions prevailing and the hopes Of the pa
triots were centered on Columbia's abil-
ity to outpoint the golden boat.
About quarter past twelve, when the
boats were nearing the outer mark, the
wind began to fiatten little, which was
instantly shown in the decreased speed Of
the sloops. But they were eating up the
fifteen miles which lay between them and
the stakeboat at splendid gait and still
going like the wind.
Drawing near the outer mark the
weather was becoming more and more
Shamrock like. With the flattening wind
the sea was comparatively smooth and all
conditions were absolutely ideal for a be-
fore-the-wind race. AT times it seemed
as if Columbia was about to pick up but
hopes raised by an occasional favoring
slant of wind were soon dashed when it
was seen the flying yacht of Ulster was
still showing the American clean pair OF
heels. At 12:45, with the outer mark al
most upon her, Shamrock's white-coated
sailors swarmed forward nimbly and in
came the great spinnaker, preparatory for
the turn. An instant later, Columbia's
men had also gotten In her great sail, and

complete circuit of the committee boat.
Columbia met her to the northwest, both
being close hauled on the port tack and
luffed into the wind.
When Shamrock came about to go for
the line, Columbia also came about on her
rivals starboard beam.
When the starting gun was fired both
yachts were sailing parallel to the line,
heading to the southwark. They were so
far to the westward of it that it was inn
! possible to cross before the handicap gun,
unless one or the other gave way. Sham
rock held under Columbias lee beam. They
were almost on even terms, but Sham
rock forced Columbia nearly over to the
committee boat before she gave way.
Just as the gun sounded the handicap
signal, Shamrock's balloon jib topsail was
broken out from it's stops. Her spinnaker
boom had been dropped few moments
before and now the great sail was smartly
set.
| Columbias balloon jib topsail was brok-
| en- out while she was crossing the line
and her spinnaker was set just as she
cleared it.
r Got Away.
After they had crossed the line the
British boat seemed to cut Columbia's
| wind to some extent and there ensued
little lufang match, Captain Barr trying
to get his wind clear. The yachts were
sailing very rapidly, their huge spinnakers
! bellying out in the fresh breeze and their
mainsails drawing beautifully. The for
eigner began to inch up on Columbia and
after few minutes of sailing she had
| pulled up considerably. At this point,
| however, Columbia seemed to catch her
wind and maintained, if she did not in
crease, her lead for the next two min
utes. Then again the Shamrock, her
greater sail area beginning to tell, drew
up, and it was a magnificent neck and
neck race until, at ILL., the bronze boat
| drew ahead again and in few moments
| she had placed good stretch Of water
behind her flying stern and the Columbias
nose. In ten minutes more, fairly skim
ming over the white-crested waves, she
had reeled off a good ten lengths of lead
and at that time seemed to be able to
hold it.

The organ grinder shook his head abb
jectedly. He was doing his little best,
and from the coins that had dropped
into his hat in the course of the day he
thought he had done pretty we'll. If this
newcomer wearied of the monotony he
could pass on. There was no escape

grinder gave verbal expression to
thoughts such as these, but if he had had

that this Is substantially what he would

tired eyes. But the newcomer did not
tire of the monotony of the ancient
hymn. It was good enough for him, as
he proceeded to demonstrate. Removing
his hat and turning to the bystanders,
he said:
Let us all unite in singing the seven
teenth hymn. Play away old man.
The grinder looked feebly dubious, but
1t was his business to turn the crank,
and he turned. Immediately the interest

in a stentorian voice. The noise he made

be doubted whether the man who turned
the crank knew what ne was playing
Certainly he had no choice in the matter

with far-away smile as if the decrepit
