tests including the fact that a minute
bones stomach was injected into white
mouse and the mouse died within three

Shamrock finished scant half boat
length ahead with a lead of 10 Sec

wa:--miraculously in yachting events

Resolute won by the amount of her
handicap, seven minutes and ono Sec

be started Friday.
A REAL YACHT RACE.
Veteran yachtsmen who followed ihe
trim craft through the four hours,
three minutes and six seconds of rae

years OF racing without being able to
conjure up u picture that could COM
pare with to-daEs spectacle. 1t was

quarter Of a mile lead, slipped swiftly
down the wind with spipnake. and BAL

But Shamrock ~ with her greater
spread of canvas would not be denied
and slowly but steadily ate up the inter-
vening distance until with little more
than mile to go. her bowsprit reached,
then slowly began to creep past the de-
tenders stern.
RUN NECK AND NECK
Inch by inch, as the spectators watched
breathlessly, Shamrock " moved and
up. mile from the stake, they were
running neck and neck through the fluffy
little white caps turned up by the breeze.
They appeared so close together from the

defender. Actually the distance was sew

Shamrock " kept up the steady crawl
ahead until. at the half mile mark from
the line, she was nearly a full boat
length ahead.
Then Rcsolute caught tiny extra nun
of wind from somewhere, and strainine
like thoroughbred under the lash, crept
up. siowly-almost impercepUbly. She
had got her bow about even with Sham
rocks towering mast when a pun of
steam from the committee boats whistle
