I WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.—Offcial Forecaster Frankenfeld of the weather bureau tonight made the following prediction for weather for tomorrow's yacht race “We will have tomorrow off 8andy Hook 11ght to fresh, north to northeast winds, and falr weather." i : % Bosssnsbiossssiibbasrossiss NEW YORK, Sopt. 9%.-The weather #harks and yachting oxperts unito in ex- pecting that a breeze will be blowing to- morrow that will give €hamrock and Co- lumbia & race which wiil be memorable in the long serles of cup events. I weather conditions of today presage anything this prophesy will be fulfilled. After four days of almost calm weather a rattling breezo blew in from the northeast this morning and by sunrise It had reached half a gale The two vessels turned out for the last preparatory work in a brecze that was Kicking up the whitecaps. Outside a very heavy sea was running and sal'lug vessels were pounding along under closely reeted safls ~ While the wind died down with sunset, the weatherwise say it will come again in the morning and that all indiea tlons are favorable for the best racing breeze of the season fomorrow Neither Sir Thomas Lipton nor Mr. Wat son cared to risk a trial run under the couditions prevailing fn the first half of today, but at 2 o'clock Columbla's mainsail was holsted and a few mmutes later tho defender went away under mainsail, club- topsail, staysafl and jibtopsail At 2:17, while sixteen men on board, tug- of-war style, trimmed the main sheet, others set a No. 2 jibtopsail. Th: main | =all and clubtopsail set nicely, but the headsalls showed a few minor faults in the leach and the feel. Much Tacking Neee y. Tacking to port at 2:22, when it had reached the north side of the main ship channel, the cup defender stood out to sea. In this narrow channel, however, it was forced to tack aain in six minutes. The wind was light and there was quite an ugly swell rolling in from the eastward which knocked the wind out of the salls. From here out to the black huoy at the entrance to Gedney's channel, where it turned around for the home run at 3:15, Columbla was forced to make thirteen tacks to cover a scant three miles, so that it may be easlly seen it was not able to show any speed during the spin, especlally as the wind was light and bafing. When sheets were eased for the run back to the Hook the yacht showed some of its old- time speed. The small jibtopsall was taken in, sixteen men then manned the halloon topsall halyards and in three min- utes that sall was set and drawing well In hauling aft the sheet it caught in one of the ends of the battens of the Jib and tore the batten pocket about a foot. It can easily be repaired, however. Gybing at 3:22, the yacht made its way slowly to the point of Sandy Hook. Rounding to there, it ran quickly to its buoy and made fast for the night, the whole run lasting less than two hours. Shamrock Reats on Its Onr: After a consultation with Manager Jame- son and Designer Watson, Sir Thomas Lip- ton decided that it was not necessary to take Shamrock out for a final spin. So it lay moored at the buoy all day, its shining bronze body being the object of much curi- osity. During the afternoon the tug Law- rence passed a line to the challlenger and it swung out for the adjustment of its com- passes. When Sir Thomas was told that as a re- sult of the offictal measurement of the yachts Bhamrock would have to allow Co- lumbia only forty-three seconds in a thirty- mile course he was much pleased “Don't you think we have a chance to win, now?"' he remarked. “Wo tully expected to have allowed more time but of course we are very well satisfied with the result, and again I say, may the best boat win. It Bhamrock should lose, I ean certainly say I have done everything a man could do to put a yacht In perfect conditton for a race and I think everyone admits that it In as near perfect as can be Men were put to work today polishing the sheer strake of Shamrock. Others greased the big mast to make the gaff slide easily tomorrow. Finishing touches were put on the paint work and all the standing and runuing gear received a final overhauling Columbla’s men rubbed. down the white paint on its hull with sandpaper until it was smooth as glass, Tonight the two yachts lie within hailing distance of each other swinglng at their moorings to a good breeze, in which lles the bopes of tomorrow's race. All has been doue that skill and experience ean suggest and none of the principals will make o prophecy as to the outcome. splendid Odds on e American, Only the betting shows the trend of opin- fon and the prevailing odds are ten to eight on the Amerlcan boat. In some instances late this evening these odds had been creased to 10 10 7, but so far us ean be learned no large wagers have been lafd. A firm of brokers was today offering $25,000 or any part thereof at 10 to 8, but had been unable to place more than a small part of this amount The final arrangements for the race are complete and the regatta committee having the matter In charge feal assured that everything has been done to give each yacht a falr show. As In the case of two years ago, the course will be patrolled by a fleet of revnue cutters in command of Cap tain Walker of the revenue marine service and the yachts will have an unobstructed course of at least a mile wide As 1% usual in all America's cup ra each club will be represented on the op- posing yacht, W.
