Her great misfortune is that sho lost hci opportunity tu take the first windward nnd Icewqru event by a breakage In her goor. This fact will permit Sbnmrock In I'uvc still nn ace In the bole, for whether Itosoluto wins tlio windward nnd leeward event today or not, tho iimllengcr will still have to look for- wuvd to a triangular raeo with at least two legs off the wind. Thus Itcso lute's superiority In pointing will not toll ns heavily as under other clrcunr- stance:) it would. All in all, Shamrock w'as exceedingly impressive yesterday. On two legs the winds were extremely light nnd yet the big craft slid along gracefully at n knockabout. She moves easily as may be Imagined through tho water, making hnrdly any fuss under her bows and carrying no appreciable drag astern. All concerned with tlio sailing of the two sloops were still whistling for wholesnll breezes when tho time came to make the racers ready today for the third race of the series.

Ilerrcsboff boats always lmvc been famous for pointing, and Resolute bus carried on tlie Bristol wizard's reputa tion in this respect. But yesterdny's ruco showed that Nicholson lias pro duced a windjammer that is a perfect marvel in reaching, even in light winds, CREWS ARE IMPATIENT BEFORE RACE STARTS Shamrock's Sailormen Eager to Add Third Victory to Challenger's String By tho Associated Press Sandy Hooli. N. ,T., July 21. With scarcely a breath of nlr stirring on New York bny the yachts Resolute and Shamrock IV idled around the Ambrose chnnncl lightship, the starting point, awaiting u blow for the third nnd crucial America's Cup race this morn ing. Roth crows wore impatient. Sham rock's were eager to add a third vic tory to their string, which would mean that the coveted trophy would go back to Great Rritaln, while Resolute hoped to begin then task of winulng throe straight raees. Shamroek reached the lightship at 11 :10 and ten minutes later Resolute also reached the starting point. Postponement at tiftooii-mfntitP in tervals 'was ordered lit 11 :.10 by the committee. Resolute must capture three strnicht races in order that tho cup mny still remniii in the trophy room of tlio Now York Yncht Club, whore It bns, reposed continuously for well over fifty ycnr. The streaky wind's that favored tho Upton crnft yesterday and brought her n winner over tho finish line vanished entirely in the night. Not n puff of nlr came from nnv quarter. Smoke from the stack of Sir Thomas Upton's steam yncht Victoria rose straight to the zenith nnd hung there n dark, im movable column. A coppery sun bur nished tlie sea thnt lay almost motion less below. The racing crews took one squint nt the wenthor nnd then went to work making sail. Tho sailormen of Sbnm rock were enger at their toil because n victory for t)iem today mount t tic winning of the America's Cup, while the crow of Resolute, determined to turn the tide of victory their way, went to sallmaking with n right good will. Upton Had tlio I.ueh Resoluto's sailors declare Sir Thomas bns had nil the luck. They say in the first race Sbnmrock was beaten, when nn neeidont to Resolute forced her to withdraw, giving the rnoe to tho chal lenger: that Shamrock was bndly beaten In the second race, but Rosoluto could not win becnuso the wind failed nnd she could not finish before tho time limit, nnd that yesterday In tho streaky winds Shamrock ceught nil tlio favor ing breezes and won on luck. The fisher folk hereabouts insist to day that Shamrock could never hnve beaten the Anierlcnn bout without Cap tain Andrew Jnckson Applegato. Sea bright, N. J,, fisherman, who sailed 011 the Upton sloop yesterday und im parted to Skipper Burton 11 better knowledge of wind and tide conditions. "An American had u big hand in turning the trick for tho British boat, any way," sny the fishermen, who cau not decide whether they should make Captain Applegate n hero or otherwise. Colonel Duncan Nclll. Sir Thomns's representative on tho Shamrock, said toduy that yesterday's contest wns al most a duplicate of that of Saturday. "Wo got the wind yesterday and worn lucky," said Neill. "while Resolute held the wind on Saturday, but. unfortu nately for her, she was unable to finish before the time limit." Shamrock's sailormen agree that Res olute is a flno bont, and that while they believe Shamrock can beat her boat for boat, they do not sco how Shamrock can concede tho American defender a time allowance of seven minutes and one second nnd expect to win.
