He has however, obtained excellent results by means of a telescope the objective of which has focal distance as great as 2.4O m. The eye glass was removed so that the image was formed at the focus of the objective. The author hence in- ferred that this process would best suit his purpose. The only drawback was the difficulty of carrying so cumbrous an apparatus about. With the assist

1CopyriEht: 1903: BY TIE Tribune Association
London Sept 3-The closing victory Of the
Reliance is received with chastened spirit oy
the English press. The superiority OF the An1eri-
can boat in all points Of sailing is frankly adj
mitted. and Captain Barr is credited with COM
pIete mastery Of tactics in handling the yacht
in light. heavy or foggy weather. Sir Thomas
Upton receives full recognition for his energy
and sportsmanlike qualities. and is Sornmiserat-
ed for playing a losing game and wasting money
when both designer and shpmaster were out
cIassed by their American rivals.
There Is the usual explanation that the BTU
ish challenger is placed at a serious dlsad-
vantage in being compelled 10 cross the At
lantic before the races but IL is not emphasized
A more plausible theory is advanced by spe-
cIalists that the time allowance does not place
the competing yachts on terms Of equality, ana
that there would be fairer test under the
limitations Of sailing length, so that the long
and narrow English type might be more evenly
matched against the shorter craft with greater
sail
There is however. no disposition In any quar-
ter to break the force Of the American victory
still less to dispute the defenders right to be
considered a superior craft in any weather ana
in any condition Of sea wind. There has
been a hopeless feeling among the English
yachtsmen since the first race. and the final
result has been foregoue conclusion There
has been a decline Of interest In these contests
owing to the uncertainty of the weather on
Sandy Hook and there is strong disposition
on the part Of yachting experts to advise Eng
ushrnen to abandon the attempt to regal ntne
Gun. and concentrate their energies upon racing
IN their own waters under proper conditions of
