Grew Upon Rail.

In order to gain every slight advan-
tage, Shamrock's crew sat along the
lee rail with their legs hanging over
board in order that the big racer might
get close to the best sailing line.
At 1870 the race was little more than
drifting match. Shamrock had
ghosted out about three minutes ahead
of Resolute, but in point of position 1t
was doubtful II she was any closer to
the outer mark. At 1:35 the yachts
were nearly five miles off their course
and within three miles OF the beach.
At 1:41 the sloops finally gybed over
and stood along on aNsoutherly course.
Shamrock was clear of any wind In
contenders finally gybed, shore OBJ
servers estimated that the green sloop
was leading the defender by not more
than 200 yards. although observers on
the official press boat. however, had
the sloops $50 yards apart.

on the way to the outer mark and was
holding a better breeze.

the Jersey short. Resolute was about
50 yards ahead and 100 yards to wind
ward. Capt. Adams hoisted ball

and Shamrock followed with a smaller
forestry sail.
Resoiute opened up her lead by dis
covering puffs Of air here and there
and ghosting along in a surprising man
ner, Then fortune favored Shamrock
when zephyr enabled her to cut down
some of Resolute's lead which at Q
o'clock was about $50 yards
At o'clock the wind, which had been
light from the north, hauled into the
east making the course reach and
possibly a beat. Resolute picked up
the air first and began to move well
ahead besides being to windward.
At 2:10 the yachts were three miles
southeast OF Highland light, standing
little west OF south on the port tack,
with Resolute about so yards ahead and
a hundred yards to windward. The
