favorable to both Shamrock III. began to
show a heetness OF foot which went far to
justify the high opinions OF her which have
already been expressed. The gap closed
perceptibly and Shamrock Ill, luffing a
little, held wind considerably higher than
the other.
Even when pointing so she was still
faster through the water, and before they
had held the tack for half an hour she was
comfortably placed wide on the weather
quarter OF Shamrock I. After six miles OF
sailing she was broad on the weather beam
Of the older boat.
.The yachts had a beat back and Sham
rock I. was allowed to take the weather
position. but the new yacht soon took the
lead and improved her lead all the way

challenger throughout the whole day on

cnce at the finish could have been ten or
twelve minutes instead OF six IL those on
the new boat had desired.

elapsed time was taken The distance
