SANDY HOOK, July 17.—The official starting times were 1:46:28 for the Resolute and 1:46:37 for Shamrock. The range-finder of the destroyer Goldsborough at 2.35 P. M. placed the Shamrock 400 yards ahead of Resolute but 700 yards to leeward. 1 At 3 o'clock the yachts were atill holding the st... .ourd tack, although seemingly able to make the mark on the port tack. Resolute was more than a half and less tha ohalf that distance mile to windward of Shamrock astern.. The wind ‘ncreased to five knots and it looked like a completed race. SANDY HOOK, July 17.—Resolute crossed the starting line ahead of Shamrock IV. toxlay in the sécond international cup race. The start- ing signal was blown at 1.45 o'clock, The race is over a triangular course, the first leg of which is south- east, the second west by south, and the last north by east half east. The course designated takes the yachts at first straight out to sea irom the starting line at the Ambrose Channel Lightship, then toward the Jersey shore and then back to the Lightship, It gives the yachts a beat windward of ten miles, a broad reach of ten miles to the second mark, a close reach fo the finish, Crossing the line, both skippers stood away on a starboard tack, holding as close to the wind as possible. Resolute, which crossed first in dashing style, seemed to work better to weather than the challenger.
