FAST RUN BY THE

beat home, giving n leeward and wind
ward test of thirty miles under condi-
tions as similar Ss possible to those
expectable during the races for the
Americas cup off Sandy Hook. was
the course set for the two Shamrocks
Thursday. The breeze was light, not
over five knots. as the boats under club
topsail ranged up for the start and
were sent on from a mark boat on
Weymouth pier.
The trim OF the challenger had been
slightly altered from that OF Wednes-
day. her anchor and cable being car
ried. The alterations were apparently
valuable. for she outran the Shamrock
I. fast ard constantly and was about
five minutes ahead when they rounded
the Erin at the end of the leeward run.
The boats then started on the beat
homeward. The wind had slackened
and they made slow progress. Never
thelcss. the challenger showed the
same good windward work as hereto
fore and steadily improved her lead.
In the opinion Of experts the sham

bly, the first time on this windward
The Shamrock I. was hopelessly beaten
from start to finish and was wholly un'
able to match the pace set by the chal'
lenger. The latter passed the winning
mark over seventeen minutes ahead o
the Shamrock |. Yachtsmen consid
cred this to be n notable victory, rs
showing the Shamrock III. to be .
much more formidable challenger foi
the Americas cup than her admirers
had heretofore suggested.

Judge Thaycr's decision. In effect,
demonstrates the inaccuracy Of the
phrase holding company. and also
shows that the community OF interest

In substance that whenever the con-
troll OF competing Interstate carriers
Is secured. either by n combination Of
natural persons or by corporation
which they create. and the motive for
competition has thus been destroyed
by the consequent unity Of interest,
the antitrust law Is violated. The fact
that each Of the competing lines Is
nomInally operated by separate
board OF directors Is held immatcr!al
and the court. dIErcsnrdinH form and

brings the owner In such direct rcln'
ton with Interstate commerce as TO
