THoMPSON, BELDEN 3. Co. Y. M. C A LDING, OOR. Blue peter the preparatory knai for the race had been given. Then began the jockeylng behind the line, of which Charlie Barr, the American skipper, has proved himselt so many times a grand master. And the skill he displayed today wha enough to warm the cockles of those who saw it. He got into the windward berth and, try as the Englishman would, he could not shake him off. As the red ball, which marked the warning signal holsted ten minutes later the English skip- per in despalr put up his tiller, crossed the line and tacked about the lightship, but Co- lumbla hung to him as if one tiller were answering for both, and when they again raced for the line it was llke two thorough- bred horses, neck and neck. But Barr was still to windward cinating gam went up and The fas- the two skippers were fight- w &0 intense that both miscalculate the time and crossed the Tine thirty seconds befora tne starting gun was fired. Three blasts of the whistle sounded the All. The two big canvas-clouded racers wore around as if turning on their heels and coming up agaln in the smoke of the gun fl ain across the line, both on the starboard tack, but Columbia half a leneth in the lead and a length to windward. Both carried the same snils, main, clubtopsall, and baby Jib. Splendid Get-Away. The ight made the pulses of the spec- tators tinglo with delight. Then for ten miles down the Long Island shore, in plain view of the people thore, the two big single stickers smashed into the head seas, send- 1ng sprays smoking to the crosstrees. Strain as Shamrock would it could not hold its white rival even. Slowly, but surely, Col- umbia forged nhead, pointing higher and footing faster. Shamrock tacked and tacked agaln, but Columbia went about with it each time and appeared to be the more nimble. Timed and timed again by experts, it was quicker in stays by ten seconds. The beat down Long Island const made a beau- tiful marine spectacle. The patrol fleet, under the direction of Captain Walker ot the revenue cutter service, maintained a pertectly clear fleld. Half a mile of rev- enue cufters and yachts at an angle of four points from ecach side of the course formed a rightangle, changing direction as the yachts tacked. In the hollow of this angle there was no more Interference with the yachts than if they had been salling in the middle of the Atlantic, while behind on either side were the solid floating lines of careening hulls, rail to rafl, thelr smoking stacks making a black wall above them. Into the bucking seas the yachts went, spurting great geysers from thelr shark- Ike bows. The American was undoubtedly the prettier boat. Yankee ix Handvome fng Its skyscraping club topsall was not so high by eight feet as that of its rival, but i appeared more stately and graceful. It scemed a pleture of life, piercing the seas with less fuss, while the heavier breasted Sbamrock shivered them with the force of its tmpact. The tender bulld of the racers ,lcoked too frail to carry the can.as which towered over them. Over 190 feet above the water line, a helght equal to a modern ten- story bullding the slender topmaet yard of Shamrock lifted its pyramid of canvas, but its $33 square feet more of canvas than Co- lumbla carried could not make it overtake the white beauty Vipton's Momentary Front. Tt was directly oft Long Beach hotel, with its crowded piazzas, that Shamrock showed in front for the first and only time during the race. As the wind had bauled niore to the southward and had died down some- what Charlte Barr headod Columbia oft shore fn the hope of meeting it. Instead ho poked his nose Into a dead calm and for some minutes Columbia lay with s salls flapping, while Shamrock, catching a slant of wind nearer rhore, drew rapldly ahead. But the victory was short-lived. The cant of the wind to the southward held and freshened to about six knots, making it from this point a close-hauled reach to ihe mark. Columbia rapidly over- took its adyersary and Captain Sycamore in desperation concluded to press on mora canvas by trying a larger §ib topsail. While the sallors were out on the bowsprit taking in the old and bending on the larger sails Columbia went by Shamrock as If it had been moored to the dock, making two feet to its one. From that time to the outer mark Columbia gained steadily. As it ap- proached the turning point the excursion fleet, going at full speed, circled out and passed alongside, leaving the mark on the #larboard, and Barr put his helm hard down and luffed around It. away. Its great balloon jib broke out ltke o puft of emoke, its boom was eased oft and it was away for homo on a broad reach. And the Band Played. The bands crashed, the whistles blew and the crowds aboard the excursion fleet eered. The fleet courteously walted until Shamrock rounded 7 minutes 4 seconds later and gave it a cordlal reception. From that time on it was a procession, race. The Englishman tried balt a dozen head sails in the hope of Improving his position, but the American forged steadily ahead. Then the wind, which had been seven knots at the stake boat, gradually dled down and an hour before the time 1imit expired it was evident that the yachts could not finish in time tee boat finally holsted its signals declaring “No race" the big excursion fleet headed back for New York as fast as steam and coal eould carry them.

It was excellent judgment on the part of the experts on Shamrock to sot this sall, for the wind headed Columbla soon after, making it a rather close reach to the home mark and rendering it neceasary to take in the ballooner and replace it with one similar to that on 8hamrock The official time at the outer mark fol lows: Columbia, 3:05:52; Shamrock, 3:12:47 Race Declared Off. The wind continued so light and with no signs of breeaing up that it became clear that the race could not be concluded within the time limit of five and one-halt hours. No (ncident worth noting occurred urtil 440, when the regatta committee de- clared the race off. Columbia was at that time about five miles distant from the Sandy Hook lightship, Shamrock wes a good three-quarters of a mile astern. To sum up the performance of the two vachts it may be sald that in such light weather as 1 for Columbla.

In order to get free fyom the | back wind of its antagonist, which was retarding 1t copsiderably, Shamrock was kept brond off the wind and it speedily worked clear of its rival, going through the water very fast.

At this time the wind freshened a little rock went about on the starboard tack at 11:25.

This was quite en- | couraging to the admirers of tha American | yacht, who had begun to fear for their favorite when they saw how fast Shamrock full. At 1143 both yachts went on the star- board tack. The little extra puff only lnsted d few minutes and then it began to dio away. At 12:15 the yachts went on the port tack, which they he | which time Columbia was almost becalmed, its mainsail slatting as it rolled in t lumpy sea.

Both yachts then tacked and here it may be sald that when one hoat wert about the other followed its example, except at 12:47, when Shamrock | went on the starboard tack and Columbla falled to follow. Captain Barr probably did this in the expeciatior that the breeze must come in more from the southward, as is quite frequently the case In the after- noon in this vicinlty. amrock’s Only Lead. But instead of a breezo Columbia fell into the flattest of flat calms, while Sham- rock was enjoying the advantage of a gen- tle alr which had a good deal of propulsive | power. Thus, for the first and only time in | the race, Shamrock was the leading boat | At1 o'clock both yachts were again on the port tack, with Columbia a good elghth of a mile to leeward. The breeze piped up a little merrier and under its influence Co- lumbia crawled up on its rival and, after a few more tacks, was once more ahead of | the Scotch-built boat. It was a great plece {of sea jockoylng on the part of Barr to make up this leeway and it was generally regarded as being admirably done. About 1:20 the wind shifted from east by north to | east southeast, which enabled the yachts |to point up pretty nearly their due course !to the outer mark, which was anchored about five miles south of Jones inlet, near | Enst Rockaway. At 1:23 both craft took | the hitch to starboard; at 1:31 they went |on the port tack, and again on the starboard tack at 1:37, standing on this leg about twenty minutes, when they went about un- | il they made sure of fetching the mark on | the starboard tack.

It a cause of wonder to | the yachting experts why the splendid sails of Shamrock, with their great area of sur- face, were not more effective, The can- vas set on Columbia had considerably less spread, but it did excellent work. At 2:45 the mark was in plain sight of the naked eye and Columbia, Increasing its lead every minute, was heading stralght for it.

GLASGOW, Sept. 26.—(New York World | Cablegram—Special Telegram.)—There s mourning all along the Clyde. Allowing for possibly fluky alr and bad luck, still Sham- rock's performances caused a dcep depres- sion among yachtman. Major Duncan Nelll, one of the leading members of the Royal Clyde Yacht club and one of the shrewdest yachtmen in these waters, who took part in the trial races, said “I am not surprised at Shamrock's dis- | play. A fatal mistake was made in altering its trim in New York. I blame Lipton's advisers. As a witness of the trials, I know Shamrock II's form, but it never beat Shamrock I, which had its old sails and was never turned up. If British yacht- men want the cup they must cut down the displacement and reduce the sall area. I cannot speak too highly in prafse of Lipton | but on form today I see no hope of the cup coming back." The World correspondent saw W.

Though Blackburn used to be the most rampant blackguarder ot Unitt ia all the county, he has now em- braced his old-time enemy to pose as his champion. Blackburn, by the way, thinks he has the management of the whole county on his shoulders.

Castellar The Jefferis faction of the Eighth ward republicans held a meeting last night at 2210 Cuming street characterized chiefly by the number of cigars distributed and the amount of beer drunk during the successive three-minute intermissions taken after each speech. By actual count, thirty men, most of them with & healthy thirst, attended the meeting and belped get away with the refreshments. Bills scattered through the Eighth ward announced that the meeting would be a session of the Douglas County Colored Re- publican club. About fifteen colored men and as many white men were in attendance, E. C. Garth presided, ably assisted by Bill Husband, Bob Baldwin and several other colored lieutenants of Jefferis Toward the close the arrival of Vic Walker, James Brooks, Maynard Wilson, M F. Singleton and seyeral other colored men supporting the anti-Jefferts delegation created quite a stir and threatened to dis- rupt the meeting. When Walker began to speak in answer to repeated calls, Bob Baldwin filed a loud protest, but Mr. Walker | was allowed to proceed with a neat speech, In which he urged the colored men to hang together at all times for the purpose of securing favors for members of their race. M. F. Singleton was less careful in his remarks and a rough house was threatened Every time there was a squabble Bill Hus band shouted: “I move we adjourn,” and suggested that the beer wasn't all gone, A. W. Jefferis was the chief speaker of the evening and devoted considerable time in denouncing Mr. E. Rosewater and the macbine. “Two tickets are in the fleld. There will be a contest tomorrow to see which is to represent the republicans of this ward in the county conventlon,” said Mr. Jefferls. “Our ticket was selected by the business men of the ward and the other by machine men.
