would not lift the cup. Let them be-
ware. The cup is not safe by any
means. The Columbia is the swiftest
American yacht that ever took a sea
bone in her teeth. American talent
tried to produce her superior this
spring and failed. But it forced her to
her last gasp to win that splendid
battle of the white wings yesterday off
Sandy Hook, and there are two more
victories to be won.
The Shamrock is the most dangerous
antagonist that ever came over the
blue seas for that ancient trophy that
has been so CALAMITY fought for and SO
we'll defended thru so many years. Sir
Thomas Upton, her owner, is of the
opinion that she will sail her fastest II
the wind be strong and steady, and 1T
may be that the challenger will be the
first home next Tuesday. But If she
should not win single race she has
helped to furnish what was in some
ways the most notable yacht race ever
held in these or, we believe. in any
waters. AS Captain HANK Half said
yesterday after the race was over:
Sir Thomas may not lift the cup this
time, but Great Caesar! how he has set
1T to rocking!"
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1901-10-03
me GREAT YACHT RACE.

The first contest between the Column
bia and Shamrock II resulted in a
victory for the American yacht, the
second effort was declared off thru lack
OF wind. and the third occurs today.
The New York Tribune gives a fair
idea of the paerits of the two vessels In
speaking of the first contest.
1t is scarcely to be believed that at
any time since men first went down,
to the sea in ships there, has been a
more magnificently contested race be-
tween vessels driven thru the seas be-
low by the winds of HEAVEN above than
that which resulted yesterd day off Sandy
Hook In victory won by the Columbia
from the Shamrock on the narrowest
margin ever recorded in any race for
the Americas Cup. AT the end of the
thirty nautical miles. fifteen to wind
ward and fifteen before the wind, the
defender beat the challenger. boat for
boat, by thirty seven seconds. In, 9th!
err words, MT the end OF a race that took
over tour hours and a half to sail the
American boat led Sir Thomas Lipton's
yacht by just a little over half min
ute. So close We're the two flyers that
not until u hundred whistles doomed
and roared and shrieketl their saluta-
lions to the winner was 1t certain that
the Irish boat was beaten. Indeed, at
a sharp angle from the finish line it
appeared TO some spectators that the
challenger was first across. Some of
the evening papers shared this error
and announced that the Columbia had
won on her time allowance only
Under the conditions that prevailed
yesterday no two boats We're ever bet
ter matched. There YVES never a time
in the whole thirty miles when either
had anything like commanding lead
over the other, never Q moment when
either skipper had callse to abandon
one jot or title Of his. hope and cour-
age. But the race had Its surprises,
and the biggest of them was that the
Irish yacht .excelled the home boat at
Just the point where It was expected
that she would be inferior. The CO.
llumbia has long been regarded as a
wonder In eatingg and beating to the
windwarti, but II any superiority was
shown yesterday at thilt sort of sailing
| II was rot shown by Captain Bars
boat. Indeed, on the windward leg the
Shamrock gained thiIty-nine seconds
over her rival. Soon after the turn for
home the light breeze began to fail still
further, and, despite tile fact that most
was expected of the Shamrock in this
VERY kind of air, the white yacht over
lhauled her, regained the lost lead and
managed, by a persistence that seemed
lalmost humanity obstinate, to retain II
| to the end.
After Thursdays attempt at race
had been called off, With the Columbia
tar In the lead. many expert observers
assured themselves that the Shamrock
