down the line from west to east. Reso-
lutte planted herself squarely on the
weather quarter.
1t was Shamrock today that hung
back and allowed Resolute to set the
pace. Captain Burton. Of the challenger.
was very nearly handicapped, having
only four seconds to get over the line
within the two minutes allowed after
the starting signal.
Defender Gets Good Lead
Both yachts crossed on the starboard
tack and Resolute at once began to
gain. Ten minutes after the start both
tackled to port, with Resolute 200 yards
to windward, going quite fast and
Shamrock almost becalmed.
The two sloops broke out baby jib
topsails on crossing the line. There
was big roll to the sea and the sloops
pounded as they moved away. causing
them to spill some of the wind from
their sails. After Captain Burton
started to let Shamrock run in order
to forereach her rival, the challenger
ins back to the starting line so badly
was she thrown off. apparently by the
shifting wind. When the two yachts
later headed inshore toward the Jersey
highlands Resolutc gained constantly in
the beat to windward. her sharp bow
lifting through the sea. At l 10 the
American yacht was easily u quarter of
n mile ahead.
Working inshore. Resolute pinched
out further and further to weathef.
while Shamrock sought to overcome her
rivals advantage by forercaching. The
defender heeled over in the light breeze
more than the Upton boat and showed
the same marked advantage in heating
to windward in a ground swell with faint
airs as she did in previous races. The
yachts at "a were trying to get in
under the Jersey Highlands. where they
hoped to get bit more breeze.
At 1 30 the wind hauled almost to
the south. letting up Resolute and
putting her more than one quarter Of a
mile to windward, where she was almost
able to lay her course for the first
mark. At 80 the wind. after having
increased to eight knots, went back into
n south southwest. making 1t dead
ahead to the first turn, with Resolute
half mile to windward and going fas-
ter than Shamrock. which seemed loggy.
The sloops stood well inshore to gain
advantage of the tide. The wind was
lust strong enough to drive them
through the ground swell. Shamrock
pounded and slapped in the roll and
there was continual smother of foamy
water under her snub bow.

FOOD PRICES NOW
AS COMPARED WITH
THE PRE-WAR DAYS
This Years Bumper Crops
Likely to Bring Down
Cost of Living.
BHP. @. Eou.

Special Food Expert, Evening World.
Here Is a comparison on more than
twenty items Of subsistence. including
tho staple foods. with the present
wholesale prices and those obtaining
a year ago. and also the pre-war
prices on the Same items. Tho re-
lease OF large stores Of army surplus
foods one year ago had a depressing
effect on the similar varieties of
fresh foods.
A year ago the army surplus foods
available totaled I6,765,873 pounds,
which included 2,s15,OO0 pounds of
poultry; 100000 pounds Of ba-
con; 1905, $50 pounds Of frozen pork;
"a. 017, s73 pounds of canned beef. and
900 pounds Of frozen mutton.
The placing OF this immense guam
tity Of meats into independent hands
a year ago hurt the large packers,
until last spring. when the remaining
$1,000, 900 pounds OF frozen beef was
sold to the Belgium Government.
This put the packers back in saddle,
as the last obstacle in their path of
price control was removed.
The benefits from the present
bumper crops have not yet reached
the consumers, with the exception of
the cases Of potatoes, apples, sweet
potatoes and peaches, but the marked
effect OF the more than three-billion-
bushel corn crop will be reflected in
