The designer was frank to admit that

With ever ordinary luck the ResOlute
should have settled the matter before

covered. she had a lead OF half an hour.
On the third occasion they met sham

dent to those who saw the race that she
was favored with many a substantial pun
OF wind that was denied her opponent
Resolute won the fifteen mile windward
and leeward event on Wednesday last on
her time allowance. She has, therefore,
virtually proved the victor in the first,
second. fourth and fifth starts.
Yesterdays performance vas q triumph
for Resolute and Shamrock was never

The outstanding feature in ResOlute's
success is the way she is handled by he.
skipper. Charles Francis Adams. He has
outpointed William Burton. the Upton

have been times when the latter was

At the same time there is a strong
opinion here that something has been
