Ni;V YOKK, Aug. .fi.-Thp Ktdlnnce 1 futtmlay In the first riu-p for tlw ilN-iiso cup and on the flfty-st'oniui iilvermiry of the first winning of the ly tUo schooner ynelit Anierlcn r the Isle of Wljjht course defeated Shnmroek III. by 8m. IH. nctuul .. Allowing the Shnmroek III. lui. . time nllownnee, the defender wins nice by Tin. 2s. This Is bnsed oti II e nllownnee tinder tl.u present meas urement. The eourso wns fifteen miles to wind ward and return. The start was made (it a point at sea about Ave miles off Long Itench. The turning point Is about six miliM off Long llrnnr-h, nnd the course out was a beat to the southwest. The run home to thu Ntartlng point was with a free wind. After a battle that was thrilling In the desperation of the llnht for the. lead during the first hour the Hellanee won the first raee of the 1003 series for the Ameriea's eup. At the finish the Yan kee defender had a wide margin, as the figures will show. For thirteen miles challenger and Challenged fought out the mngnlnVent duel, sailing between two lanes of ex cursion lxmts as free from Interference ll If they had been In the middle of the Atlantic. All the time the wind was increasing, and the whltecaps were whitening the waves In tumbled ardor. The scene at Use finish whs soul stir ring. T'nrter hr towering cloud of can vas, rolling rhythmically In the swell, tlu Kciiance buuuded across the view less finish line like a queen. The ex cursion boats gathered there fairly awakened" the echoes of heaven with the terrific din which they let loose. Such pandemonium can only be heard when an American yacht Is victorious In a cup race. Every skipper wasted enough steam to carry him back to New York. Several of the yachts threw their powder Into smoke, and the patri ots shouted themselves hoarse. Then the immense concourse of vessels wait- CAPTAIN DARK, ed nine minutes longer until the Sham rock III., with a slight rent in bet spinnaker, but majestic looking even In defuat, swept by between the stake boats. The reception she received was If unythlng more hearty than that no .corded to her successful rival. On Tuesday morning in a glorious whole sail breeze over a triangular course, ten miles to a leg, the fleet foot- , ed cup defender Reliance again show ed her heels to Sir Thomas LIpton's challenger, taking the second race of the cup series of lOa'l by the narrow margin of 1 minute and II) seconds. It was as pretty nnd as hard fought a . contest as has ever been sailed off Bnndy Hook, and had the wind not fal len during the last ten minutes the rec ord for tho tturse, 3h. 12m, l!s, made by Columbia two years ago in her memorable race agnlnst Shamrock II., would have been broken. As it was, Reliance sailed the thirty miles within 2 minutes and 3!) seconds of the record, which rpeaks wonders for her speed In the wind that was blowing. : The Reliance did not win by so hand tome a margin as her admirers wanted to see, the Shamrock showing splendid qualities in the beat to windward, which was the first leg of tho course. All of the Reliance's iialns were on the two reaches that finished the tri angle. There wore no mishaps, and the Shamrock showed a decided Improve ment over her form of last Saturday, due, no doubt, to the change In trim, Tho olllchil boat fired the preparatory gun nt 10:l." o'clock. This meant that the warning cannon, giving the contestants five minutes to prepare, would be fired at 10:5.1, Long before the course signals were display ed the masters of the aquatic duelists were busy in hammer and tongs fash ion with each other. Harr, the master vt the American sloop, resorted to his old tactics of chasing Captain Wrlnge, the sailing skipper of the challenger, pbout the broad exputwu of water in side the excursion fleet It was a magnificent test of nautical iViimultdiip for the first ten minutes, sod for tho first time since the two men measured brains Wrlnge won, being clever enough fo work to the northwest of the starting line and get from under lis rival. ft was sacrifice; howevnr, for when tliu wua eventually Uken the IrUh challenger was handicapped, crossing nineteen seconds after the handicap gun was fired nt 11:02. This nineteen seconds was time lost, the eltlclal start of Shnmroek being reckoned at 11:02. Meantime Ilarr, finding that Wrlnge was too clever for him, had gone ovet Hie line about his own business, his official time being taken at 11:00:,",0. As the Rellan'.e crossed the line one tuluute and twenty-four seconds ahead CARTA IN WRINGE. of Shamrock, It was apparent that she would have to lead the challenger nt the finish by more than three minutes and twenty-one seconds to win the race. This figure was obtained by add ing to one minute, twenty-four seconds, the official time allowance given by Reliance to Shamrock of ono minute fifty -seven seconds. Half an hour after the start the gap between tho two boats had widened materially, Reliance pointing higher nnd Shamrock footing faster. They were half a mile apart when they tack ed off Highland Beach nt 11:42. The Reliance was the first to go about. Wten both yachts were tilled away It was clear that Reliance was gaining. At noon the wind had increased to ten knots and hauled about a point to westward, so that both yachts could lay a straight course to the turning mark, not more than two miles distant. The Reliance whirled about the mark, gybed over, trimmed in bet sheets Hud romped away on a close reach toward Sandy I look lightship J nnd the finish line. She was three- . quarters of n mile away before Sham rock III. rounded the mark. Roth yachts were heeling before a twelve ', knot wind from south by west nnd were sailing at least one mile an hour j faster than the wind was blowing. . As the wind softened Reliance first i set u baby jibtopsall, which Shamrock had been carrying since turning the second mark, and then exchanged It for a big reaching jibtopsall, in which Shamrock promptly followed suit. The two yachts held their relative positions for about a mile. When Reliance was a quarter of a mile from the finish line the wind died a way considerably, but Shamrock III.- enme booming along carrying a splendid breeze and fast overhauling the leader. It looked as though the British boat was going to get within her time allowance, but the finish was too near, and Reliance slipped across It with one minute nnd nineteen seconds to spare. Shamrock 111. finished lu a softening wind. Tho third race will be sailed on Thursday. Sir Thomas Upton said: "The only thing I can say Is thnt we did better than In the last race, which Is hopeful. I figure my defeat nt a little over one minute. If I make as much progress In the next race as I did In this over the last I will be a good bit ahead in the finish of the third race. I was more than pleased with the woy my own boat was handled. It is hard to admit it, but the best boat STORM AT SANDY HOOK. Many Yaohta Tom From Anohorai, Shamrock In Unnurr, NEW YORK. Aug. 20. A terrible northwest wind nnd electrical storm struck Sandy Hook shortly after 0 o'clock and Shamrocks III. and I., Re liance and a fleet of a half dozen fine yachts, Including the Erin, C. Olivet Iselln's Sunbeam and Ilerreshoff'i Roamer, were In great danger for a tlmo. The yucht Eureka, breaking from her anchorage, was blown vio lently against a coal scow and carried the scow before It. It seemed for a time that the two boats would crash Shamrock III., which lay almost In the path of the gale, not a hundred yards away. Reliance lay in a position more out of danger. Thu moorings of Shamrock III. and Reliance held fast, though the wind threw their bows around Into the face of tho gale violently, and' they tugged hard at their cables. Sir Thomas Upton left tho Erin be fore the storm broke and with Colonel Smith, Colonel Rurhauk and Colonel Stewurt, commandant nt Fort Hancock, viewed the havoc In the bay anxiously from tho commandant's heudquurters on Sandy Hook.
