With Speed Enough to
Be Interesting.
Sandy Hook, N. j., July 90
With Reeolute two miles In the
lead, the fffth international yacht
race was declared OF at S o'clock Z
today because dying wind made
It impossible for the cup sloops
to finish within six hour time
limit.
Sandy Hook, N. j.. July 26.-The
nth international yacht race. which
will determine the fate Of the Ameri-
cas- cup, was postponed today at
1880 o'clock for fifteen minute inter-
walls.
Shortly after noon the regatta COM
mittce signalled the following course
for the fifth and final cup race:
A fifteen-mile run from the Ambros
Channel lightship south by west half
west, with a fifteen mile beat back to
the lightshin
At 12:15 the preparatory whistle
was blown for start at 1880.
Shamrock w, the big green sloop
with which Sir Thomas Upton hopes
today to life the Americas g cup, sped
first across the line today at the start
of the fifth international yacht race,
which will decide the 1920 series.
Shamrock crossed nearly minute
ahead of Resolute, according to uno1i-
cial timing ashore.
Starting on the first Is mile leg Of
her 80 mile course, run south by
west half west out to sea, Shamrock
passed over the starting line at the
Ambrose Channel lightship at 12:30:-
20, official time, and her rival follow
ed at 12:31:25, after the starting sig
nal had been sounded at 1880.
At 12:05 p. M, the postponement
flag was lowered and course signals
breeze at the lightship from the east
northeast, making it difficult to lay a
course in either direction without plac-
ing the turning buoys too near the
Jersey or Long Island shore.
The two yachts reached westward
along the line with Resolute to wind
ward. The warning whistle was blown
at 1925 a. m. ....
Shamrock and her rival broke out
big reaching jibs and set their spin
maker booms to starboard.
Shamrock held on his wind and
headed to the westward in an effort to
get by Resofute, which was to weather
and killing the Englishman's wind. AT
