into the wind, tackled, forced Reliance
TO do the same. and both ran for the
line, Reliance leading. They reached It
before the starting gun. and Reliance
had to run along the lee side OF 1t to
await the gun. Shamrock reached the
line as the gun sounded, and not having
. to sheer of, secured the weather posi-
ton. 1t was a trick which Captain Barr
had worked often. but never with better
fineness or moro satisfactory results.

under the lee bow Of Reliance. Captain
Wringo gave his boat a good full, and

had found herself at last But this was
only for few minutes. When he began
to pinch her into the wind, It was ap-

challenger, and altogether making botter
work of It.
Luck with Reliance.
They held one tack east, southeast, FOR
nearly an hour. During that time the
defender worked up to W1ndward good
quarter of mile. When Reliance tackled
Shamrock III. refused to follow, so Barr
put his craft on the port tack again. This
placed Reliance mile north OF Sham
rock III. Fifteen minutes later the wind
suddenly shifted to the northeast and
placed tho American boat that distance
dead to windward not half OF which she
had actually earned. From that time Re-
lianco gained steadily.
When off Long Bea ch at 1:45, the de.
fender was two miles ahead. having added
the second mile BY literally outpointine
the challenger. and at the same time
maintaining equal speed. The challeng
er's cause was absolutely helpless when
the defender rounded tho mark. The Brit
ish boat was moro than two miles alec
and coming slowly.
The time at the outer mark was:
