The open season for ducks and aquail | was ushered in auspiclously yesterday | by a great throng of sportsmen although [ the results were not up to expectations. Throughout the length of the marsh line from above Suisun on the north to Al- viso on the south the glistening barrels of shotguns reflected the 100 araent rays of the sun. The sport was fairly good on the Al- Viso marsh, every one gecing some birds. Few secured thg limit bag of fifty birds, | although George Pierce was among the | successful ones. Fred King brought home forty-six. The bags were maae up of | teal, curlew, rafl, snipe, rig and spoon- | bilis. A number of sportsmen returned with well-filled game bags last night and reported that many more remained over to try the sport this morning. Up ‘at Suisun marshes the season was opened early in the morning with rather poor sport.” Few good bags were made although plenty of ammunition was used, The weather was sultry, with no wind blowing, o the few ducks flying went too high for good shooting. ~The best score of the day was made by Walter Cooper, a sixteen-year-old lad, ‘on Stew- art ponds. He bagged forty-nine ducks. | The next largest scores were H. Perkins | forty, A. Anderson thirty-seven ‘and J. C. Murphy twenty-five, all of the Suisun Gun Club.

The wind was exceedingly light and variable, at] times falling so low that the gossamer | wind pennants, which are as light as thistledown, hung limp against the masts of the big single-stickers. The wind, with crews lined up on the lee rails, was not | sufficlent at any time to make the racing machines heel to their lines. At the end of four and a half hours the two yachts covered less than one-half of the prescribed course of thirty miles, and as there was no possibility of their fin- ishing within the time limit the regatta committee declared the race off. When the gun was fired announcing thls deci- sion the challenger was about a haif-mile ahead of the defender, and to that extent to-day’s trial was a victory for the Sham- Dangerous in Light Airs. But the fluke to-day demonstrated little as to the question of supremacy between the two boats except, perhaps, that Sir Thomas' new champion is more danger- ous in light airs than was supposed after her two former meetings with the white flyer, to which the patriots are pinning their faith. In fluky winds of variable strength, shifticg as they did to-day through six points of the compass, luck cuts almost as much figure as model and seamanship, ani to-day fortune was un- mistakably with the foreigner. The course was a equilateral triangle, ten miles to the leg, the first leg being a beat due east into the wind. The Yankee skipper at the start outgeneraled his ad- versary in a splendid piece of jockeying, crossifig the line in the windward bertn twelve seconds ahead of the Britisher. This_advantage tne Columbia held for two hours, while both yachts steered far off the course to the southward, looking for a streak of wind that would profit them. Finally Barr declined longer to continue the vainless quest. He put his helm down and headed inshore on the starboard tack. The Shamrock at this time, after both had been sailing in the same airs, was a beaten boat, and her skipper could af- ford to take a gambler's chance with for- tune. He held doggedly on and fortune smiled_on him. Within five minutes he got a breeze out of the south which ruf- tied the crestless seas and wafted him like a ghost through the Columbia’s weather. But this was nol his best piece of good After this reverse the Columbia, slipping through the seas at an astonish- ing pace, had worked out ahead of the Shamrock, but to the leeward. When the two yachts were In this position, about bia and to avdid such a possibility Barr went under the Shamrock’s stern. Just as he did so the wind hauled around more to the south, knocking the Colum- bia's head off, until to the astonished spectators, she seemed headed almost back to the lightship at the starting line. golden boat, favored by the same bre2ge, was headed in exactly the oppo- site direction. Then the wind shifted back again and when Barr got the Colum- bia straightened out he was a third of a mile astern. In this position the two boats rounded the first mark, the Sham- rock three minutes and eight seconds be- fors the Columbia, or a gain for the Shamrock in the beat to windward, adding the twelve seconds which the Columbia beat her over the line, of three minutes and twenty seconds. Race Is Declared Off. During the next hour, in a close reach for the second mark, the yachts were able to cover about four or four and a half miles of the remaining twenty, and as only fifty minutes then remained before the expiration of the time limit, the race ‘was declared off. After turning the mark the experts thought the Shamrock increased her lead slightly. This gain may, however, be ac- counted for by the fact that she carried a PITTSBURG, Oct. 1.—Phillippl had go0d con- trol and received excellent support and the game was a walkover for the home team.

It was the race for New York. To-night both the Yankees and the for- eigners are praying for a good, stiff breeze on Thursday, when the next race will be sailed. ‘When the string of signals was hoisted on the committee boat indicating the course the rival racers were circling about the lightship,' performing nearly every known variety of marine maneuv- ers. The Shamrock was clothed in a brand new suit of light weather sails, ad- mirably cut and of marvelous fit. The Columbla, however, was obliged to con- tent herself with the same old suit that carried her to victory on Saturday. Be- fore the start the Shamrock hoisted a tiny jib topsail, perhaps the smallest ever carried by a cup yacht. It answered its purpose capitally as a steering sail and proved of great advantage in a day so prolific of flukes and doldrums. Preparatory Gun Fired. The preparatory gun was fired at 10:45. At that time both yachts were on the port tack, standing & to the southward, with the Shamrock in the lead and the Columbia following in her wake. Ten minutes later the bang of the warning gun was heard and the Colunibia, wear- ing sharply round, trimmed her salls on the other tack, the Shamrock trossing her bows. The Columbia took gvod care to secure the weather berth, and ten seconds after the starting gun, which wfa fired at the dot of 11, she crossed the line on the starboard tack, ahead and well to wind- | ward. The Shamrock luffed over the line a few seconds before the gun fired and was recalled by the judges' boat and had to put back. : The official time of the start lumbla, 11:00:10 Lucl with the American boat at first, for a fortunate catspaw struck her and enabled her to head up a couple of points higher than her opponent.

The club topsails and jib top- salls were the only sails that puffed out responsive to the stray streaks of air. The big mainsails flapped as the yachts rose and fell in the long easterly roll and the Iuff of the headsails quivered. .The result was that- the yachts barely had steerage way. The Unexpected Happens. Then the unexpected happened. Wafted along at a fine clip by a stray puff, the Shamrock overhauled the Columbia and at 1:15 she was so close that Captain Barr bore down on her in order to kill her wind, as he had so often killed the wind of the Constitution. The Shamrock went on the port tack, immediately followed by the Columbia, and in another minute the The wind now became more South- erly. | Both yachts set _ reaching jib" ‘topsails and eased off sheets, steering a direct course for the mark. Then the Shamrock forged ahead | and got into the doldrums, while the C lumbia got a slant of wind and at 1:55 passed the Shamrock. Then it was the Shamrock’s turn to get the benefit of a breeze and she came along and planted herself on the Columbia’s weather quar- ter, crawling up on her until at 2:08 they were neck and neck, with the British boat to the windward, blanketing her op- ponent. To escape from this blanket Cap- tain Barr gent the Columbia on the port 2, but luck was against her and ery breath of the fickle wind, as well as steerage way, and it was near- ly two minutés before she got away and filled away on the starboard tack again and by that time the Shamrock was too | to be overtaken.

MAY RACE CONSECUTIVE DAYS. | Meeting Likely to Be Held to Con- | sider This Subject. NEW YORK, Oct. 1.—E. D. Morgan, who, with a party of friends, remained for the night aboard the Park City inside Sandy Hook, said to-night: “To-day’s race cannot be discussed from the point of a critic. It was merely succession of flukes and never resembled a real race. The challenger merely was more fortunate than the Columbia in catching the fitful pufts of wind. I regret extremely the outcome because we all anxious to see what the boats would do on the triangular course. But as it is we are now no wiser than before. So far as I am able to say there will be no change in the defender’s sails, The pres- ent suit is quite satisfactory. Captain Barr was extremely reticent. Absolutely no expression could be ob- tained from him upon any point further than regret over the weather. ‘While there was no meeting of the New York Yacht Club to-night of either the challenge or the regatta committee, it was intimated that the cup committee of the club and the representatives of the Royal Ulster Club might have a meeting in the mear future with regard to having the yachts raced on consecutive days. This was done two years ago, after a a | | | Luey Cross, b. m., 10, by St | } | were | miserable racing | | | number of postponements because of the | lack of wind, similar to the conditions which prevailed to-day. It requires an agreement on the part of both sides to have the races salled on consecutive days, and it is likely that another post- ponement may bring this about. It is possible also that some sort of meeting may be held to-morrow. The next race, however. will not be sailed until Thurs- although there may be a race Fri- LIPTON’S CHANCES BRIGHTER. Britons Think Shamrock Is Begin- ning to Show Her Speed. LONDON, Oct. 2.-The morning papers indulge in little comment on the perform- ances of the Shamrock II and Columbia yesterday, although - these performances are held to confirm the impression that the challenger would show better on the triangular course and is apparently im- | | I | [ gz0oo brighter. Yachtsman, has declared in an interview that he thinks the chances of the chal- lenger winning the cup are ‘“remarkably sood, providing she gets only ordinary luck, although with a strong wind aft the Columbia is a marvelously fast vessel.” He expressed the opinion that the Sham- rock II would be seen at her best when the wind was just strong enough for her to carry her jackyard topsail on the wind, but not her jib topsail. “Under such con- ditions,” said Mr. Hamiiton, “I believe she would beat the Columbia over any course.” Disappointment in London.
