—Sir

was
neare-~
achieving
the
coniessed
ambition

There
were
cheers
on
Sir
Thomas
Lipton’s
steam-
yacht
Victoria when
the
Shamrock
sailed
first
across
rthe
line today,
but
there
was
a hush
when her
erew
worked feverishly
io {ree
a jib topsail that failed within
the
first
few
saconds
of
the
contest.
T[his
fouling permitted
the Resolute
to
glide
into
the
lead.
For part of the first
ley,
the
Resolute
kept
to the fore,
but
when
she
hit
1 soft spot
the [rish eraft
slipped
again
into
first place, fedging along
unti
she
was haif a mile ahead.
To
the
sur-
prise ;of
the
yaehting
experts
a

on
the challenger,
served
her better
than
the
Resolule’s

Away

Capt. Burton,

might be removed

The
story
of

final
stage
of the race follows:
The Shamrock
rounded
the second
mark
at 4.26.29
when
the
Resolute
was
more
than
a
mile
astern.
The
Resolute
however,
picked
us rapidly, and
rounded

Shamrock
at

time for
the
second
leg
of
1.58.01
and
the
Resolute
2.02.55.
With
a freshening
breeze
from
astern,
the Resolute
began
a stern
chase
L)
tn 2 finish
line,
afid
with
her
time
dallowance
of seven
minutes
and
one
sec-
ond,
it was figured she
would have
to gain
on this leg one
minute
and thirty seconds.
Capt.
Adams
at
onee
broke
out his
bal-
ioon-Jib
after
making
the
turn,
while
the
Shamrock
sdiled
seven
minutes
with
scarcely
any
head
sail.
The
Shamrock
sei
her
spinnaker,
and
catch’ng
her
mail
to
port
with
a
big
balloon-jib
carrying
every
pull
of
air, she
made
good
time
as she
headed
for the
lightship.
The Resolute
also
set
her spinnaker
and
balloon-jib and
sailed
well before
the freshening
breeze.
The
Shamrock
lost
several
seconds
on
the
third leg by her
slow setting
of the
bal-
loon-jib
topsail
which
developeda
tear
near
the foot off Seabright.
The
big jib
on
the
Resolute
was
set
quickly.
She
began
taking
to
leeward
by
holding far
out
to
eastward,
under
her
ball)oner,
while the Shamrock
with
her
spinpaker
to starboard
neaded
stroight for
the fir-
ish-iine.
On
the run
home
the
Resolute
galned
several
seconds
on the challenger,
which
was about
34 miles from the
finish
at 5.03 o’clock.
At 5.15 the
Resolute
had
gained
nearly
a minute
on the Shamrock
on the
dash
to the finisii
line by
beating
to
leeward.
It
was
apparent
that
the
race
was going (o
be
v ry cicse
when
the
Shamrock
got
within
thiee
miles of her
finish.
At that
point
the
Lipton
eraft
had
some
seconds
over
the time-allowance
of seven
mi utes
and
one
second
allow-
ed
the Resclute,
but
it
seemed
evident
that
to decide
the winner
would
require
close
figuring.
At
5.27

the

The

The Shamroek
was
within
three
miles of the light ship- going
easy
with
the
Resolute
more
than
a
mile
astern
and
far cff the
course
in
a
iong
task
to leeward.
The
Shamrock
took
in
her
spinnaker
and aiso
reached
for
the
finjsh
under two
headsails.
The
Sham-

then
crossed
the
line, winning
