Both man- aged to get back to the finish be fore the time limit had expired. The Columbta was ahead in the drift around the stake boat, and she was still further in the lead when that much overworked signal of “No race” was made. If Sir Thomas Lipton got any consola- tion out of the day’s doings the reason for it was not apparent to any one who followed the fortunes of the yachts. extra ballast which had been placed in the Shamrock to alter the trim of that did not bring about the desired re- sult. So far from any improvement be- ing wown in the Shamrock's speed, it seemed that the contrary effect had been produced. vantage at the start and steadily creased her lead, despite ail efforts of the Shamrock to outfoot her. So long as the wind held the Shamrock continued to drop astern, and when the two floated into a zone of calm the Shamrock showed that she could drift no faster than could the Columbia. So it must be counted as a failure, this experiment with ballast, a failure at least in such winds, or lack of them, as were about to-day. Outfooted in the run, the Shamrock was also_ distanced in the beat back toward the finish line. Even the most ardent of her admirers are now forced to admit that the Shamrock is no match for the Columbia in light weather.

R G TECHNICAL STORY OF LAST UNFINISHED RACE NEW YORK, Oct. 18—Clear weather and a fine breeze from the northwest | greeted the skippers and crews of the Co- lumbia and Shamrock at sunrise this morning, and the occasional puffs that made little whitecaps on Sandy Hook Bay gave promise of plenty of wind for the third race of the international series. Both boats were taken in tow before 9 o'clock. Eager to try his large club top- ail on his new topmast, Captain Hogarth made safl on the Shamrock on the way out to the lightship, and by 9:15 the tow- line had been cast off and she was under Wway with everything on her, including the baby jib topsail. It was 10 o’clock when the Columbia cast off from her tug, broke | out the jib and began to sail about with mainsail and iib set. Fifteen minutes later her largest club topsail was set, and soon after the staysail was broken out. At 10:30 the course was signaled from the committes boat, which had anchored to the westward of the lghtship. It was southeast by south, showing that the wind was northwest by north, and the probability was that it would be a spin- naker start. About the time the tug started to log off the course of fifteen miles to leeward the patrol fleet of five revenue cutters, five torpedo-boats and the steam yacht Erin arrived off the lightship.

Excursion boats and yachts gave the racing craft plenty of room, and Barr and Hogarth | nad their little’ game all to themselves. At the warning signal both yacht booms to starboard and sheets flattened well in, were sailing to the northeast, parallel to the line but about a quarter of a mile north of it, with the wind a little abaft the beam. The Columbia was to windward, with the Shamrock on_her lee m a couple of lengths away. It being ssary to use the five minutes between the warning and starting signals, both yachts leaned far oar to the northeast, gradually lufting to e northward. When three minutes were left the Columbia Juffed into the wind, then coming about headed for the line. Hogarth, instead of tacking like the Columbia, wore the | Shamrock sharp around on her heel, bringing her close up under the Colum- bia’s lee, both having booms to port. Hogarth lost both time and headway by the Shamrock hauled up nearly on the wind the Columbia, under better head- way, was pointed straight for the line, a couple of lengths to the good. As soon as | Hogarth realized this he broke out the | Shamrock’s balloon iib topsail, her crew | trimming the sheets smartly just as the gun was fired. The Columbia's crew broke out her balloon sail while the smoke from the gun was_blowing away. The Columbia crossed the line twenty- seven seconds in the lead without the handicap, which means fully two lengths’ distance. She crossed about the center of the line and Hogarth, after a vain at- | tempt to luff across her wake and obtain the weather position, kept off and gave the Shamrock a good full. | ©'The official time of the start was: Co- lumbia, 11 amrock, 11:02.

As the Columbia stood on to the north- west, the wind canted to the southward graduaily, and at 3:35 she was able to set a big topsall in place of the baby. She alzo set a balloon staysail. Fifteen | minutes later the wind had canted to south-southwest. Down came the Colum- | bia’s jib topsail and up went a larger one. The “Shamrock followed suit a few minutes later. The wind was now falling lighter every moment. .The Shamrock was nearly three miles astern of the Co- lunibia and while the lightship was in signt from the Columbia’s decks she was still five miles from it at 4 o'clock, with only half an hour of time left to finish within the limit. At 4:10 the committee boat_sheered in toward the yachts and at 4:19 exactly she fired a gun and holsted a signal declaring the race off.

On this sub- ject he said: “The Democrats say I am afrald to talk about trusts. That settles it. I'm going | to talk about them. This combination of | capital for one purpose or another is not | a political question at all. It is a business | question and ought not to have been brought into politics. When our indus- | tries were in their infancy England and other countries came along and sold goods in this country at less than the price asked in their own country. Then fol- | lowed the protective tariff law formu- lated by that friend of the workingman, William McKinley. Having secured this protection American manufacturers went abroad. They are making rapid strides and are successfully competing with the whole world. It is evident, however, that they cannot continue to do so unless they have combined capital. We ought to own and control our own merchant vessels. We then would be in shape to make our own rates and compete with other nations on an equal footing. This formation of combines is simply an evolution in busi- ness methods. The so-called trusts are not new. They have been found in Eng- land and Germany as far back as 200 years and are increasing. Therefore, from a business standpoint of view, the forma- tion of these combinations in one sense is a step forward. However, If the trusts | are a menace to the country what party better than the Republican party can give you relief? When it comes down to plain facts the various labor organizations are a sort of a tru and I believe in them and always have.
