headed along the line on the star

from he windward attempted to blan-

HEADING FOR JERSEY SHORE,
Ten minutes after the start they were
heading for the Jersey shore on the
port tack, Reliance In the lead but ap-
parently not gaining very much on
Shamrock In the light air. The wind
had dronped TO about i've knots and
a thick haze began to set in from sea.
The tack inshore was a long one,

This tack proved to be fully as long

Neither boat seemed to be able to Sc
cure any decided advantage, although
the Reliance was leading Shamrock
held the windward position. At
