Highlands, n. j., Aug, 27.-It was not
a very promising outlook this morning for
a yacht race. First there was no wind
and then the sea was rolling sea, but be-

creased TO six knots an hour and smart
shower had smoothed the sea.

course was IS miles southeast to wind.

was sounded at l045 and the yachts be-
gan to scrap for the weather position.
Both yachts were handicapped at the start
the Reliance crossing the starting line at
1i.02.45 and the Shamrock at l10347.
This poor start handicapped the Sham
rock one minute aud two seconds,and was
a serious setback at the beginning. The
delay ID starting was caused by Capt
Barr getting on to Capt Wringe's weather
quarter and hanging there during the
jockeylng for the start. Just before the
handicap gun was sounded at 1102 both
yachts fetched about by the outer side Of
the lightship and had to come about again
to make the start

tics cut the Shamrock time allowance in

The official starting time was:

The racers crossed the line on the port
tack, and after a short hitch toward the
Jersey shore, tackled to starboard and
stood away to seaward The Reliance
pointed higher and increased her lead on
the Shamrock from the beginning

and the Reliance followed a minute tater.
The latter continued to maintain the wind

rock footed fast, but the Reliance pointed
higher and made steady gains in her lead.
AT noon the Reliance was leading her
about three minutes. The wind continued
to freshen.
At 1890 the Reliance tackled to star
board and three minutes later the Sham
rock crossed her wake followed by the
formers tacking to port. The shamrock
then tackled TO starboard
The Reliance tackled to starboaTd at

likely that the yachts would finish within
the time limit. The Reliance was making
further gains to windward The boats

mark
There was no particular change in posi-
ton for the next twenty minutes, but at
one o'clock the Shamrock seemed to be
footing faster than the Reliance, getting
the advantage Of the slant Of the wind.
Both boats had tackled to port.
In the next twenty minutes the sham
rock seemed to get the more wind, but the
Reliance was still half mile to windward.

The Lapse of
Alta Gay 3 3
BY PERCY CHAMBERLAIN
Copyright. 1905, by Daily Story Pub. Coz

A LIZA GAY had married after the
~ manner of her set, which is to say
that it had all been arranged for her by
the most competent, far-seeing and vigi-
liant of mammas. She had made good
match-everybody in the smart set said
SO, and surely there are no others who
are such expert judges of good matches
as the smart set. Her husband, Philip
Dennison, was the scion of one of the
very Oldest families and his wealth re-
quired seven or eight figures to express.
Moreover he had qualities that seldom
go with great wealth and an irreproach-
able lineage-he was able, ambitious and
industrious. His monetary independ-
ence had not paralyzed his mind and
spirit, and he had won a proud position
at the bar and in the world of business
and politics. He had attained an envia-
BILE reputation as man and citizen be-
fore he had met Alta Gay and fallen in
love with her.
To be susse he was II or IL years her
senior, but What of that? He was in the
very prime of his manhood and gentle
man of whom any woman might be proud.
There was always a whispered sugges-
ton among certain envious contempo-
raries of Mamma Gay that Dennison had
not discovered he was in love with the
golden-haired daughter without certain
initiative on the part of mamma, but this
may be laid to a considerable extent to
pure envy, for Dennison surely was q
great catch.
But, alas for the perversity Of woman
kind. Despite all the advantages Of the
union Alta found herself far from happy.
Not that Philip was not the kindest and

much strategy had been required on the

Dennison certainly was passionately in

When there are stone slabs, proper
