Hiiilod down Sandy Hook to witnoHS the
Attempt of a foreign miiR luiuler to
wrest from America tho yachting
of tho world rotnrncd to Now
York orcHtfallon and disajipointod Tho
winds from tho wivus of old ocean had
proven too light and shifty and tho first
of tho international herios of 1899 bo
tweon tho two greatest racing machines
ever produced by England ami America
degenerated into a drifting match and
had to lo declared off because neither
could reach the finish lino in tho time
allotted by tho rules
To avoid just such winds as occurred
yesterday in which luck and not tho
crow and yachts win tho rules provide
that if one of t lie boats docs not finish
within five and a half hours tho raco is
declared off so at tho end of the timo
last evening when tho yachts were still
four miles from homo with tho Sham
rock leading by something nioro than a
quarter of a milo tho ooinmittoo ofll
chilly declared that thoro had been no
race Tho yachts were then takon in
tow by their respective tugs and brought
buck to their nuehorago inside Sandy
Hook Tho clean limbod racers had
Bailed out yesterday morning fresh for
battle but tho sea had rofused them a
Held of conflict Under the rules the
ilrst race is now postponed until tomor
row
Flzrle From the Stnrt
The day promised well at first The
sky was smirched with a fow dirty
clouds but clear enough to permit tho
thousands of spectators who lined the
Jersey shore to see almost every foot of
the course Tho wnvos wero crested
with white caps here and there and a
fairly fresh breeze blow out of the north
northeast but after tho Shamrock had
crossed tho line tho wind turned flukey
and variable uud tho raco was a fizzle
from the start But tho fluko gave the
yachting sharps and the spectators
much to think about and some surprises
The Columbia is undoubtedly tho
prettiest boat She is tall and stately
with graceful lines and towering masts
Tho Irish boatwith her broader beam
and longer base line looked slower and
heavier Perhaps her green color
makes her look clumsier as if she wero
forced through tho water while tho
slim Columbia pierces it like a rapier
Though iudecisivo in every respect as
to tho abilities of the great rival single
stickers yesterdays raco indicates that
the Irish boat with her English skip
per and her Scotch crew is the ablest
sloop ever sent across tho Atlantic in
the hope of lifting the 100 guinea cup
which the America brought back 48
years ago and which has since been suc
cessfully defended against the world
lloth Alternated In the Lead
During tho live and a half hours sail
ing the Shamrock was thrice ahead and
twice the Yankee boat showed tho way
For the first 10 minutes the Shumrock
led thou for five the Columbias grace
ful bow showed ahead of tho green boat
for 45 minutos following the Shamrock
then for three hours the Columbia and
for tho last hour and a half it was the
Shamrock that led the way The breeze
blew as high as 12 knots an hour and ai
low as three and shifted about through
eight points of the compass
Bach in turn beat the other running
before the wind and was in turn beaten
beating against the wind at various
stages of tho race so that many of the
experts who saw the two boats sail are
disinclined to believe that there is a
pin to choose between them but when
tho race is closely analyzed it is abso
lutely proven that tho Columbia showed
her superiority at every point of run
ning sailing reaching and boating
whenever tho wind freshened and that
it was only in the lightest air that the
Shamrock could make headway against
her Both had their share of good and
bad luck The Columbia had the bet
tor of the shifting winds on the run
down to the mark and beat the Sham
rock 3 minutes and 44 seconds while
on the boat home after increasing her
lead to over a mile at one time the
Shamrock overhauled the Yankee and
was a quarter of a milo ahead when the
time allowance expired
