RACE COMPLETED JUST
 AS DAY BECAME NIGHT

| --Ap D<h l Hut as if to emphasize the great ] difference in time between the two finishes, the flaming dropped like n plummet into the deepening haze, and pale moon, which had | been but dimly traced against the sky when ResoIute finished, stood $ out with increasing radiance. When Shamrock finally got over the line, the sun was but shadOwy circle on the horizon beyond the haze, and the shimmer on the water had turned from gold to silver. Resolute. by this time. had described a great circle, and had come back to the mark to see her rival finish. As the challenger crossed the mark. her British crew let out three ringing cheers for the victor and the conquer ors responded with lusty cheers for Shamrock " and her crew
 Sir Thomas Lipton, who built the challenger in his fourth effort to lift the bottomless old pewter mug that is the America's cup. and take it back to it's original home in England, turned away from his humbled sailing beauty and sent his steam yacht Victoria, full speed aheadto overtake and congratu- late Resolute's crew. He returned just in time to see Shamrock cross the line.
 The aged sportsman's gameness as he drew away from his own sloop to congratulate the winner elicited salvo of cheers from those on board the spec tator craft, and Sir Thomas responded as jauntily as if he had not seen his own fondest hope once more baffled.
 Sir Thomas announced immediately after the race that he would build a new challenger and come across again in 1922 to have another try at lifting the Americas cup, provided some other yachtsman did not challenge and win the cup sooner
 T was beaten by better boat" he said. T have no complaint to make But l am greatly disappointed"
