RELIANCE sEEMS 10 GAlN.

RELIANCE SEEMS TO GAIN
Little by little, almost imperCeptlbly
Reliance seemed to gain on her adyer-
sary, but before she Is on equal terms
she must overcome the one minute and
81 seconds time allowance Soon after
the start the yachts ran into Il drench-
ing rainstorm which when 1t passed
over left calm which was only brok-
en- by faint and wagering wind, Con-
sldering the conditions, the pace made
by the big racers was remarkable. but
1t was apparent that unless the breeze
improved considerably, It would not
take them round the course within the
time Init.
At " O'clock the yachts were about
four miles due east Of Monmouth beach.
A HEAVY DOWNPOUR.
Scarcely had the first shower passed
when another heavy dOwnpour overlook
them The wind shifted slightly and
in such Il way as directly TO affect Re-
lance, so that when eight miles of the
course had been sailed the boats were
on even terms. Repeated shifts OF the
wind continued to favor Reliance and
little by little she gained on her oppo-
nent. When about II miles of the course
had been sailed Reliance led by 200
yards. Shamrock was TO leeward APP
parently footing faster but not point
ing so hiSh into the wind as Reliance,
The rain had stopped but showers con-
tinued to threaten The wind at this
time was blowing about six knots
As the rain ceased the wind freshened
a little and with its increasing force
Reliance began to prove her better sail
ing qualities,
While for a time Shamrock seemed to
foot as fast as Reliance the latter was
pointing much higher and soon ate her
way into a commanding wlndWard
berth giving her a distinct lead. Grad
ually, she increased her advantage and
as the breeze seemed to improve 1t
looked at ] o'clock as though the race
would be finished within the time limit
AT that hour both boats We're on the
port tack about three miles from the
mark with Reliance slightly more than
a quarter Of mile in the lead.
JOCKEYING.
With Reliance ahead they beat down
in The outer mark to tacks Of varying
lengths. Time after time Shamrock
went about with the idea Of shaking
clear and looking for fayoring slants Of
wind Reliance however. played the
game as II should be played and broke
tack with her opponent every time,
keeping constantly between her and the
mark Progress was SLOW in the light
ana shifty winds Gradually the wind
fen until at As, when the yachts were
just off Asbury Park, they were almost
becalmed with Reliance more than
mile in the lead
