Lively Jockeying,
Theie was some lively Jockeying be
hind ihe line before the stmt and
Columbia got tho better of It. She
clearly out-nianouevred her ilval, fili
ally forcing her owr tho line Ilrst by
half a length und leaving Columb'a
in the weather position. Close haubid
on the starboard tack the yachts
plunged Reawoid, heel hit,' to the twelve
knot lueeze The ilrst few minutes
of the lace were the most Interesting
They made u beautiful picture as the
raced awny like hounds. Their sa' b
ti the nautical eye were peifceton In
lit. It whs soon apparent that the
white llyer was forging ahead. Th"
Columbia not only seemed to ou'foot
her challenger, but the cxpeit saw
sin- pointed higher. It was nsto"li'i
lng how she kept her way up iii'.o
the wind. Within llttecn minutes she
had a lead of five lengths and from
that time on the rare was her's The
Columbia steadily continued to draw-
ahead until, hnvlng unequivocally de
monstrated her suporloilty In wind
ward work, It beeame only n question
of how far the white flier would bent
her to the outer mark. The Shamrock
footed valiantly, but neither In sn? d
nor In pointing could she ompare
with the Columbia. Then the three
sklppets on the challenger put the 1.
heads together and tiled new tactics.
The Shamrock made a dozen short
boaidn. Uvldently her skippers were
under the Impiosslon that "he was
quicker on her beat and better at fo-o-ronohlng
than the Yankee bolt, but
the Columbia proed quite as nimbi"
as the Shamioek
When the Shmrork ot through with
thl line
of tactics, Columbia had In- j
eieased her lead until she was half a a lauiel fiom the brow of the Amcii
mlle abend. By one o'clock, or two can soldier or a jewel fiom the ciown
hours nfter th" sUrt, Shamioek wai , of Ameilcjn achievements "
fully a mile and a half astern,
Columbia Like a Swan.
Nothing could hao been prettier
than the way Columbia swept around
the outer mark, gracefully as a swan.
As shf swaing around she eased off her
main boom, let her spinnaker pole diop
to port, and breaking out the cloud of
canvas, lied homewaid like a scared
deer. Her big balloon Jib blossomed .
out 45 seconds latei. The few ships
of the exclusion lu-ot at tne outer
mark gave her a rousing receptun.
The Shumioek was already hupeh'ssly
beaten. It was nine minutes and Siroro the decimation of war tv
f-econds later when
the S'lamioeK
swung around the maik and squared
away for the finish.
The Columbia was already nln.est
two miles awny, and in the thickening
mist could hardly be discerned. Sir
Thomas' yacht Eiln lem.ilned abeam ot
the challenger giving what moral sup
port he could to his boil. Sir Thomas
and his fiinds abnaul looked fully rs
disconsolate as th"y f.lr. sir Thomas
remained on the btlde with his eyes
glued on the boat on v.'hlch his horn
had so lately cen'oied and a group ot
sailors forward seemed to be trying
to in ikf out the outlines of the van

rrom that time it was simply a pro

Lipton Cheeis Columbia.
After the race while the yachts were
being towed back to their moorings,

Thomas Lipton, gave tlneo heaitv
cheeis. They wcie quickly tesponded
to with tin oo cheeis fiom the Colum
bia's men, led bv Oliver Iselin.
Sir Thomas Upton took his defeat
1 with the snlilt of a true sportsman.
"It wns a fall and squaie race," said
he to an Associated Press lepiesentn
tive "We weio beaten fairly. No two
boats ever sailed a better race and
they were equally well handled as far
as I could see " When the Associat
ed Press repot ter visited the St. Mich
aels after the i.ace, C Oliver Iselin, with
Mrs. Iselin und a paity of fnends had
just nrn Ived from the Columbia. There
was no turtle ulni sign ot exultation
on the fuo of the manager of the cup
defender.' though he did look extremely
well satlslled. "I do not know," he
said, "that I have any particular com
ment to make. Wo won tod ly because
we had the better boat. I have felt
that nil along: now others, I think,
will admit It Wo aie reudv to nice
tomouow and ns for wind and sea we
nro piepared to take our chances with
both."
The race tomorrow will be over tho
triangular course, ten miles to the leg
and the Shamioek will havo an oppoi
