Reliance Wins Last Race In Series
With Shamrock Ill
SPECTACULAR FINISH IN FOG

New York, Sept 4.-The Reliance,
the Americas cup defender, has won
the third and final race in the series
for that famous sea trophy. the Amer
ica's cup. In a dense fog, which pre-
vented vision beyond 200 yards, she
finished the race amid the acclama-
tons OF the assembled feet Sham
rock III. after running for more than
an hour in the fog. missed the finish
line, passed by it and then returned 10
IL from the opposite direction. The
Reliance was then being towed 10 the
feet, yacht ensigns fiuttering from her
truck and spreaders in celebration OF
her victory. The Shamrock III did
not cross the finish line. AS often said
Of the historic race when the America
won the cup, there was no second.
This successful result was achieved
only after four futile attempts TO sail
of the final race and after the out
Thomas Upton TO be a foregone con
clusion. This was the eighth attempt
TO sail race. After one fuke, the
Reliance won the two following races
one by minutes and 3 seconds. and
the other by minute and 10 seconds
4 week ago the first attempt To sail
the third race failed, and attempts
have been made every day this week.
On two occasions the Reliance led the
Shamrock to the finish line by about
two miles, but failed to reach 1t before
the expiration. OF the time limit Of Ave
and half hours. Yesterdays victory
means that the cup is destined 10 re-
main in America until England is able
to produce a genius equal TO HERES
hoff in yacht designing.
Rarely, II ever. has there been a
more spectacular finish than the Re-
liance's. After racing for more than
an hour at terrific speed through a
binding fog. the Reliance burst
through the wall OF mist upon the
vision Of the spectators on the feet as
sembled at the finish line, and, heeling
under a great bellying balloon jibtop-
sail until her lee rail was awash, fed
across the finish line almost before
the spectators could determine for a
certainty that IL was she. Once more

Sir Thomas said that when Sham

weight was removed to bring her
within the 9O-fOot limit. she did a
great deal better than after the

Both Shamrocks were towed TO Erie
