New York, Aug 22.-With the first
gray streaks of dawn this morning
New York harbor far down as Sandy
Hook, presented scene that pre-
saged some of the unusual at this
early hour the entire harbor was
dotted with craft, ranging from the
tiniest of napthas to great ocean
liners, and even the casual observer
might have guessed that this was the
day for the great international yacht
ing contest, testing, as it were, the
yachting powers of the cOntendinS
forces of the old and the new country.
The early hour dawned as beautl-
fully as one could wish; Old Sol shin
ed out resplendidly, and Boreas, as
if posted OF the events of the day, tenn
pered with winds beautifully The
freshness of the morning air was
nunctllred with southeast wind
blowing at the rate OF about ten knots
per hour; the sea was as calm and
the sky as blue as the designer OF
yachting weather could have out
lined.
AS the early morning hours passed
on the southwest wind increased III
velocity and at ten o'clock it was
estimated that the wind was comlnG
and going at a speed OF II knots per
hour.
The Shamrock Ill and the Reliance,
like mad dogs of war, released from
the moorings, were meneuverlng Tor
position; there was series OF mas
riGcent marine evolutions, both mas
ters OF the art OF nautical nomenclelt-
ture were at work, and thousands ol
eyes, from countless craft walched
the scene.
AS the two greyhounds OF the sea
peered INTO the vision ol the Sathered
muititudes, eager not TO get tied up
at the most. thousands ana thousands
ol voices rang out III glad acclaim 10
wish them both bon voyage, Like
