the lead. The Columbia, sailing un-
| der reef, now lifted one OF her upper
sails and started after the flying
Shamrock. AT the end of tift.sea
miles the Columbia was less than 4.
minute behind.
The two boats turned the mark in
beautiful style and went dashing lcr
home.
The Shamrock rounded at IL 4s.H.
and the Columbia was but so seconds
behind her.
The boats were now running home
at a fine clip and the indications were
that they would make the race in
little more than three hours.
The concluding part of the race WAS
very exciting. The Columbia seem
ed TO get much the better of the sham
rock, but 1t was only seemingly. 70.
the lrisman kept a good lead on her
tacks. and not until near the finish
ing line were the two boats close to-
sether, when the Columbia made one
of her fine finishes. although she did
not quite catch the Shamrock, which
crossed the line first.
The Columbia won the race and the
series by the time allowance.
AS the Shamrock crossed the line
hrst, flash was sent throughout the
country that she had won the race
but such was not the case. Boat
to boat, she beat the Columbia, but on
the time allowance the Columbia won
by half minute
