Instead ho poked his noso Into n dead calm and for somo minutes Columbia lay with Its sails flapping, whllo Shamrock, catching a slant of wind nearer r.hore, drew rapidly ahead. Dut the victory was short-lived. Tho cant of tho wind to tho southward held and freshened to about six knots, making It from this point a close-hauled reach to the mark. Columbia rapidly over took Its adversary and Captain Sycamoro In desporatlon concluded to press on mnro canvas by trying a larger Jib topsail. Whllo tho sailors were out on tho bowsprit taking In the old and bending on the larger satis Columbia went by Shamrock ns if It had been moored to tho dock, making two feet to its one.

Then tho wind, which had been seven knots nt the stake boat, gradually died down nnd nn hour before the tlmo limit expired It was evident that the yachts could not finish In time.

In order to get free fpom tho back wind of its antagonist, which was retarding It considerably, Shamrock was kept brood off tho wind and it speciiuy worked clear nt its rival, going through tho water very fast. Columbln held its luff nnd It was noticed that when tho two woro close hauled the American yncht pointed higher than Shamrock. At- this time tho wind freshened a little.

This was qulto en couraging to the admirers of thn American yncht, who had begun to fear for their favorlto when they saw how fast Shamrock footed when kept off tho wind with a clean full. At 11.13 both yachts went on tho star board tack. The little extrn puff only lasted it few minutes and then It began to dlo nway. At 12:15 tho yachts went on the port tack, which thoy held until 12:33, at which tlmo Columbia waa almost becalraod, Its mainsail slatting as it rolled In tho lumpy sea. Strango to say, while this was happening Shamrock seemed to have a nlco little breeze of Its own. Iloth yachts then tacked and hero It may bo said that when ono boat went about tho other followed Its example, oxcopt at 12:47, when Shamrock wont on tho starboard tnck nnd Columbia failed to follow. Captain Darr probably did this in the expectation that the brcezo must come in more from tho southward, as is qulto frequently tho case In tho after noon In this vicinity. KhninrocU' Only Lend. nut instend of a breezo Columbia fell Into tbo flattest of flat cnlms, while Sham rock was enjoying tho ndvantnge of a gon- tlo nlr which had n good deal of propulsive power. Thus, for tho first and only time in tho race, Shamrock was tho lending boat. At 1 o'clock both yachts were again on the port tack, with Columbia n good eighth of a mllo to leeward. Tho breezo piped up n llttlo merrier and under lta Influence Co lumbia crawled up on its rival and, after a few moro tacks, wns onco inoro ahead of tho Scotch-built boat. It was a great piece of sea Jockeying on tho part of Darr to mako up this leoway and It was generally regarded as being admirably done. .About 1.20 tbo wind shifted from east by north to cast southeast, which enabled tho yachts to point up pretty nearly their duo course to tjio outer mark, which was anchored nbout five miles south of Jones Inlet, near East Itockaway. At 1:23 both craft took tho hitch to starboard; at 1:31 they went on tho port tack, and agnln on tho starboard tack nt 1:37, standing on this leg about twenty minutes, when thoy went a"bout un til they made suro of fetching the mark on the starboard tack.

It was a cause of wonder to the yachting experts why tho splendid eaIIo of Shamrock, with their great area of sur face, were not moro effective. The can vas set on Columbia had considerably less spread, but it did excellent work. At 2:15 tho mark was In plain sight of the naked eye and Columbia, Increasing Its lead every minute, was heading gtralght for tt. When cloao to it the ltttlo Jib tonsall wag hauled down and a big balloon sent up in gtopg to repiaco it. At 3:05:52 Columbia tacked around tho stake boat and easing away Its mam sneoi ana creaiung out Its balloon Jib topiall was steadied on tho homeward coure for Sandy Hook lightship, it mado tho best of tho scanty wind and with sails perrectly trimmed steered for the goal. Shamrock made a good turn, but was slow In setting Its Jlbtopsail, which wag one of tbc vnrlcty known as "reaching" galls and not a bnllooncr. It wag excellent Judgment on tho part of the experts on Shamrock to tot Ihlg eall, for the wind headed Columbia soon after, matting It a rather close reach to the home mark and rendering It necessary to take In tho ballooner and replace It with one similar to that on Shamrock.

The wind continued so light and with no signs of breezing up that It became clear that tho race could not be concluded within tho time limit of Ave and one-half hours. No Incident worth noting occurred until 4:40, when the regatta committee de clared tho race off. Columbia was nt that time about five miles distant from tho Sandv Hook lightship. Shamrock was a good three-quarters of a mllo astern. To sum up the performance of the two yachts It may bo said that In such light weather as prevailed today Shamrock proved no match for Columbia. What It may accomplish with a good wind remains to be seen. LIPTON CONFIDENT AS EVER Declnre Ho U Still Absolutely Mure of Mftlnrc Cnp Ilnrr .Inst ."rum Wood, , NEW YORK. Sept. 26.

The rain, calm enough In the beginning, started about y o'clock. There was a steady downpour nciirly two hours-Just .1 plain Nebraska rain -and then came nn outburst of thunder nnd lightning more llko the climax of sultry July tlnu the ending of n peaceful Sepi ember day. Not In recent years has Omaha been moro thoroughly Jarred by thunder, blinded by lightning nor drenched by rain. Every street In town was a river. Sewer Inlets lacked capacity and torrents swept over sldewnlks, damming In plarca lo kneo depth. Street cars stopped wlu'iexer they happened to be when the storm rcvenled Its fury. Hack drivers hunted chcltei Tho streets wero deserted. The hall lasted only n few minutes, but what It larked In duration was more than offset by the fury of tho bombardment.

Hoard sidewalks were turned over In the suburban districts, and downtown. A well us everywhere c'ao, everything loose waa buffeted nbout on tho rushing water. The chances nro thnt when Mr. Welsh, the weather man, wakes up this n, online nnd looks at his rain gauge he will find that it has been going n rapid pace. The laity Is guessing that this Is tho blggecl rnln of tho year thnt Is. that more wnter fell within a shorter period than nt nny time within n year or two. I'ntll Mr. Welsh comes foward with tho government figures this guess will have to stand. At 12 o'clock tho .-nln had practically censed. l.lKhtuluK Level u Chimney. Night Wlro Chief.

Mr. Hooper did not stop to make an In vestigation ns to the extent of the damage, owing to tho Intensity of hall nnd rnln, but ho thinks tho bolt must havo done somo dnmngc. A Ilngpolo on tho bulldliift of the Dunning Hardware company, 1105 Douglas street, was atrucK by lightning. On Sherman avenue, near Chnrlcs street, four telephono poles were blown down nnd blockndcd tho street. Tho wind cnuscd general mlxup of electric wires and Boveral fires were narrowly averted.

Tho first accident occurred to Sergeants Dcmpsey and Wolsenberg, whnte horso wnn shocked by coming In contact with ono of the wires nt Sixteenth nnd Clark streets nnd dropped In the shafts, etunned for sev eral minutes.
