RELIANCE AGAIN WINNER.
Continued from First Page.)

while Captain Barr poinehed Reliance close into the wind and began, to cover the distance to the windward mark. Captain Wringe's n1anoeuvre gave him a wind clear of interference and when once satisfied that Reliance could not blanket his boat, he fiattened in his
 sheets and began to point closer to the
 wind. Captain Barr, however, was
 nursing Reliance up, to windward in | masterly fashion. Half an hour after the start the gap , between the two boats had widened ma terially, the Reliance pointing higher and the Shamrock footing faster They were half mile apart when they tack ed otf Highland Beach at 11:42. The Reliance was the first to go about. When both yachts were filled away it ! was clear that the Reliance was gain ing. Shamrock III. was far astern and very little to windward of the Reli- ance's course
 Meantime the wind had been increas-
 ing and was now blowing at the rate of 1 seven Knots. Carrying a hard full
 Shamrock III. was heeling prettily, | moving through the water at a fast clip
 and making considerably more fuss un- | der her bows than the American boat,
 Captain Barr was pinching the Reli-
 ance into the wind until her little baby
 jibtopsail fiuttered.
 The race was being fought on the
 same lines as the previous one. The
 Reliance sought to make her gain by
 outpointing the British boat, while the
 latter endeavored to make up for what
 she lost in pointing by footing faster
 with rap full.
 ! At noon the wind had increased to ten
 knots and hauled about point to vest ward so that both yachts could lay a straight course to the turning mark, not
 more than two miles distant. They
 were heeling hard and dragging their
 lee rails through father of froth and
 sending it squirting from under their
 bows in fashion that indicated that
 they were making at least twelve knots
 and that there was little danger that
 the race would not be finished within
 the time limit. Without making any
 tack both boats made the turn of the
 first mark as follows: | heilance ...........,..,...... l2:21:30 | Shamrock III. II..'................ 12:24:45 Though the Reliance had a lead of three minutes and fifteen seconds, she still lacked six seconds of making up the time allowance and the difference of one minute and twenty-four seconds at the start. Officially the Shamrock III. was still six seconds ahead of the slippery Yankee craft, but it was evi- dent that the latter had won the race, barring accidents. Tn breeze varying from four to ten knots an hour she had made good the time allowance in ten- mile thresh to windward and there was no reason to believe that in reaching and running, which are her two strong est points of sailing, she would not quickly overcome that official six sec- onds.
 Both captains broke out balloon jib- topsails when they squared for the sec- ond turn. The wind was so far tit that they quickly discovered that instead of being broad reach, as intended, the course to the turn was run. Spinna- ker booms were guyed out and the great sails added to the tall teachers of can- vas. Staysails were taken in and, with oBAAihe'ASi boolilo SoySo WCII IOL " uIu, the yachts ran away for the turn. Both were heading off their course a bit in order to make their spinnakers draw well, and they ran that way for half an hour. when the Reliance smothered her spinnaker and began to set her stay sail. During that time she did not ap- pear to have gained an inch, but imme- diately upon laying her true course she began to draw away.
 Ten minutes after the Reliance the Shamrock III. also took in her spinna- ker set her staysail and headed for the mark. With the wind over their quar- ters both yachts made fast time of it. but it was apparent that the Reliance was gaining. They made the second turn as follows:
