and the veteran watchers of yacht

The fate of this race of the series was

greeted with signal from the COM
mittee boat, indicating that postpone

cided upon. This was done in the hope
that something resembling a breeze
would come along to give the racers
headway At the hour originally set
for the preparatory signal there was
hardly breath stirring and the smoke
from surrounding steamers was mount
ing skyward in straight columns. Reso-
lute's managers, who had been pray

1t was 12:45 before the first puffs of
the revivng wind began to ripple the
surface of the course. 1t came direct
ly out of the southeast. For miles

the sea was covered with drifting fields

Her short tacks had cost her some
ground, but when she started, the long
run to port she seemed to pick up
lift that sent her ahead with bone In
her teeth. She heeled far over and
footed with marvellous speed. Resolute
veered back to starboard at 4:15, and
the challenger followed fifteen seconds
later with much Of the American boats
windward advantage eaten away.
Shamrock Suddenly Loses
On this tack, however, Shamrock sud-
denly lost all the ground she had re-
gained, and was never afterward a seri-
Gus factor in the contest. She ran into
an "air pocket" or fiat spot, and
stopped dead, with her sails Tapping
sadly. While the Britisher was in the
doldrums Adams seemed to find plenty
of wind and the defender all but made
the turn on this tack. She made 1t in
one more hitch and turned at a :33 III
with the challenger far in her wake.
Sir Thomas Upton was close to the
windward mark when Resolute turned.
and there wasn't the slightest sign Of
jollification on board the Victoria.
Shamrock's loss OF ground was due
to her skipper's apparent belief that
he could outguess his opponent as to
the weather. He tried this, and Adams
let him go. The result Of this strate
gic move was that Burton got himself
becalmed, while Adams sailed away and
kept STEADY company" with the breeze.
After the defender had doomed
around the stake in one long tack the
wind appeared to leave that section of
the ocean entirely, and when the chal-
lenger came along it was necessary for
her to make eight tacks to the Ameri-
cans one in order to get around. When
she finally turned it was to find that
Resolute was five miles in the lead and
well on her way to the second mark.
The second leg was close reach,
and when Resolute got the wind over
her quarter she went away on one Of
those jubilant flights Of which she is
capable when conditions are right.
When more than half way to the
second mark the wind hauled around to
the south, and a short tack was neces-
sary to carry her around. With mar
vellous skill Adams clung to the edge
of this southerly wind and made the
most Of it. AS the Herreshoff boat
neared the mark Shamrock was hull
down on tho horizon. The wind was
dying rapidly and hope Of finishing
within the time limit of six hours was
vanishing.
Resolute rounded the second mark
at 7:01:31 and breaking out ballooner
with only fortyfour minutes left of
her six hour limit. When the race was
called off at 1926, Resolute was seven
miles from Ambrose lightship, three
miles from the second mark and five
miles ahead of the challenger, which was
still struggling to negotiate the last

tee boat, indicating triangular course
with the first marx ten miles out at
sea and the second off Long Branch
The wind at this time was freshening
rapidly.
The preparatory signal was given at
1880, when both boats were.east Of the
line. Shamrock broke out a, number
one jib topsail and the American yacht
followed suit later with number two.
The warning signal was flashed prompt
ly at 1:40 while the international
rivals were engaged In brilliant duel
for position. The lightship was at the
leeward end of the line yesterday and
both boats were under her starboard
quarter when the starting signal was
given. Resolute was in the better
position, owing to an extra hitch Bur-
ton was forced to make in order to
avoid false start. He miscalcuated
the signal by the fraction of second.
Englishman Outpointed
Adams took his yacht over the line
first, crossing at :46:28. The challenger
shot over nine seconds later, her time
being 1:46:37.
Both sloops went off on the star
board tack, with Adams berthed com
fortably in the weather and enioyinp
the most advantageous position posi-
Die. Resolute outpointed the ENGLISH
man and worked still farther into the
wind before they had been under wav

was pointing the green sloop as high
as possible because every swell the boat
rode started her head sails flappinp

topsail for his No. and the beneficial
results from this move were immedi-
ately apparent. Shamrock ceased to
pay off and began to point rs high as,
if not little higher than, her American
opponent. One of the big mistakes
that Captain Burton made in yester-
days encounter was in not removing
the big jibtopsail sooner. 1t cost him
lot of ground.
At 3:01 Resolute swung over to the
starboard tack and Shamrock followed
suit thirty seconds later. At this time
the American was at least a quarter of
a mile to the windward and footing fast.
This tack was held until 1920, when
they both returned to the port tack,
with Adams half mile in the lead
Burton held to the port tack for less
than five minutes and again went to
starboard. With the first mark in
sight, just under the stern of J. P.
Morgan's Corsair, Shamrock went off
into several short bitches in an effort
to inveigle the other boat into split
ting tacks, but the watchful Adams
could not see this at all and dupli-
Gated every move that Burton made.
At 3:40 Shamrock went off to port
and held to that tack, with Resolute
on the same hitch. 1t was here that
the challenger did her best work

Officially, then, this sea pageant, this

Officially, then. this sea pageant, this
wonderful seamanship Of Skipper
Adams, this flashing show Of dainty
heels by the defender to the chal-
lenger, meant absolutely nothing at all.
But in reality it seemed to mean that
the persistent old sportsman Sir
Thomas Upton had been foiled again,
as they used to say before the movies
came and altered the language.
1t would not go down on the record
books as a defeat. The elements
seemed to intervene to spare the jovial
British sportsman, but anybody who
saw the graceful white defender swing
away from the snub-nosed green chal-
lenger knows that the Americas Cup
will not pass from the heirs of it's win
ners for some time to come.
At Z o'clock Resolute came about to
round the second stake, but there was
hardly a breath stirring.
"Gentlemen," said Captain Norton,
of the Semmes, "I believe that can
announce that / will have the pleasure
of your company for an extra day."

rounded the stake for the third and

Earlier piunting of large. productive

from the smaller native varieties plant

more satisfactorily than have the sin

The studies made by the department
