of Savannah, the Angler and the New
f, Brunswick, as well IA many OF the larger
steam yachts. were hustling along to lee
ward OF the yachts, trying to get TO the
| finish line as soon as the Reliance They
| charmed 80 that both vessels were sailin q
through broken water almost from the time
they turned the second mark to the finish,
Capt. Barr pinched the Reliance up 30
| that she was able TO recover what she had
lost through trying to carry her balloon
home. and then baby jib topsail was sent
up In stops, but 1t was not broken out until
1852. The wind then was lighter than 1t
had been on the early part OF the last leg
of the course, but the two yachts were
both running up on the guide, boat.
When the lightship was made out, ii was
seen that both were high of the course,
and were able to pay of and drive for the
finish.
At 1:52 the Reliance broke out her baby
jib topsail. She carried this sail eleven
minutes, and then it was lowered and I'M
ON and sent up in it's place. This larger
piece OF canvas was broken out at 2:0S:OO.
The Shamrock took in her baby jib top
sail at 2;O74O, and then at 2:09;3O a reaching
jib topsail, which had been sent up. was
broken out. The big sail seemed to knock
the Shamrock OF somewhat. but Capt.
Wringe nursed her carefully and she was
able to fetch the finishing line.
The Reliance crossed the line at 2:15:3O.
On some of the steamers the American
ensign was broken out at the masthead,
but when those on board saw how close the
Shamrock was they lowered 1t again in
order to wait and learn for sure which boat
had won. The folks on the steamers and
the yachts lined the sides Of the vessels,
watches In hand. anxiously counting the
seconds.
The challenging yacht was very close to
the line, and when minute had gone it
looked as though she would just about
make 1t. When two minutes had gone by
the anxious ones began to breathe easier
When three minutes had gone it was certain
that she couldn't get to the mark in the
next twenty-five seconds.
On the Shamrock, Mr.. Fife, Col. Craw-
ford and Col. Neill were each studying
their watches, while Capt. Wringe at the
tiller was driving his yacht for all she was
seconds went by and the yacht hadn't
finished. A cheer for the American boat
went up from many of the yachts.
The Shamrock crossed the line at 22O:i0
She was beaten, but she had sailed fine
race, and Capt Wringe had redeemed
himself for the errors made on Saturday
and had shown much better Judgment
than Capt Barr.

The Reliance had beaten the Shamrock |
minutes and 10 seconds elapsed time over |
the course. On corrected time the Re- |
lance won the race by I minute and 10 !
seconds, and is seconds q this mist bss
charged to the error of Judgment at the |
starting line which caused the Shamrock to |
be handicapped.
In actual sailing. figuring the time as ,
from when the Shamrock really crossed !
the line, and allowing for the l minute |
and 81 seconds which the Reliance had Co
give her on account of the difference in
size, the Reliance had beaten the Shamrock
Just two seconds mile over the course. |
The actual distance that separated the
boats at the finish was about four fifths
~ mile, according to the speed at which ;
the yachts we're travelling, but, allowing
for the difference in the boats at tho start,
The Reliance had beaten the Shamrock,
boat for boat, by little more than half a
mile.
