Rellance's Fast Finish.
Then the aeet started for the finish
line, steaming a course parallel with
that of the flying yachts This last
leg was also covered at roaring speed,
Reliance still increasing her lead. The
guide boat. sent ahead to show the
course, was too slow, although every
thing aboard OF her was wide OPEN
and Reliance passed her before the
line was reached, All the ocean-going

before the finish the wind died down,
but Reliance went across in ample

Upton Says Best Boat Won.
After the raco Sir Thomas Upton
said. "You have all seen the results
and the only thing | can say is that
we did better this time than in the
last race. which is hopeful. figure my
defeat at a little over one minute. If l
make as much progress in the next
race as | did in this over the last
will be a good bit ahead in the finish
OF the third race. I was more than
pleased with the way my own boat
was handled. 1t is hard 20 admit it,
but the best boat won. Perhaps with
more wind at the finish the result
might have been different. But | don't
want to throw any cold water on the
victor II is hard to win every race in
such series, and hope our turn viii
come next"
Captain Barr said. That's number
two. Now we will get ready for the
third"
