By John R. Spears. (Noted YacKting Authority Who l Describing Ftacos for America's Cup Especially for The Evening World.) Copyright. 1320. by The I'resa Publishing Co. (The Kew York Evening Woild). In a raco over a triangular course, wher the yachts were sont Xay wlmlwo.nl in a 6-knot zephyr that eventually grow to a smashing vifivyo -u nuum u reeio, iw, mat une as rair lo one as the other the Resolute proved manifestly superior In the windward work, slightly inferior In tho close reach of the second leg, and once more plainly superior over more than a half of tba third leg. As to tho gain of Shamrock In the close reach on the second leg It may be said that It proved, In connection with previous work, hat she Is probably better on that point of sailing In all winds than Resolute but she is not enough hotter. Taking tbo race as a whole, It Resolute is the swifter, eron though cent, moro cantas on a hnll that Is under measurement rules. In th.i mMlft -f .Via l-- Ohm. . VI ..u.. V ... I IU1 k 1 1 (IIIIMII- . roclc lost the use of her club topsail. A rain squall appeared In the north. and eventually hauled the wind to the northwest. Tlvon the wind foil flat, but came on opsin soon, and Reso lute reached to the homo line- a fair winner. Of course tho last part of this let? was wholly unsatisfactory as a test of speed, but a auflldent test had heeil made theretofore. Unless there is a fluke Resolute will win the fifth and final race of the series and keep the cup. For the first time In many years, tho racera and spectators found a UUck fog on the sea. -whem thev ar rived at the lightship oft Saindy Hook, but at 12.15 o'clock tlx tog rapidly thinned and the two i-oers were then seen under the usual ox oras ready for business. GOOD SIX-KNOT WIND AT START OF THE RACE. Tttiej Racing jOommdttee at onco tiatried dorwp, the pootjponement signal. As the wfW Wthon ooonAwj fair and true at about six knots, wit every .appearance of growing, tho flnst leg ywas laid soutt-OTitw nst to wind ward. The oeoand was sot at east by north, and the Ct-rd nortJrweot, vio (haJf north. Tb eso olgala were bolst d at 12.30. A period of fvrbean cunutea was tfhen allowed the racers for the usual consideration of tho course and its chances, and hn, at 12.45, tho wanv tag edgnal was given. The contest for position Which fol lowed was not of special Interest, be cause Oapt Burton had already placed unomrocK on too wnea-ner quarter of itesoiute, and e field hr there or In 1 pojinooa nioireiwiuu revuni to Jier quarter at wlll-unUl tte alg. , weajtaier sial to go waa given. lie did light good nrork. that Is to nay, and he crossed tho lino on Ilco lute'a weather quarter at auch a dle lanoe that Capt Adams could not Slve him any back win from Rcso luto'a mainsail. The ofllcial time of the atart was: Rcaolute, 1.01.33; Shamrock, 1.01.56. tlcsoluto led by 23 seconds. After the crossing, however, the Resolute atood on at bettor speed and nt 1.07 Shamrock turned to the port tack heading for Jorscy breezes doubtless on the advice of Capt. "Andy" Applegatt. It was very good advice at that, for from that time on the gontle gale grew steadily. SHAMROCK SAGS SLOWLY AWAY TO LEEWARD, Until 2 o'clock tho raco waa some what like that on Wednesday, saye only that Shamrock had no occasion to moke repeated tacks. Holding to her courae she sagged slowry away to leeward. Ilcsoluto hoadod at least a half point higher during mot of the time and Shamrock footed faster. The wind varied somewhat, losing a trifle In weight now and then but regaining tho loss soon nnd going up to Ibotter opeed. Then at 1J0 It 'hauled to eoutlrwest, after which It gained more rapidly and held true. From 1.30, that ds to nay, the wind km above eight knots and the racers were aWo to point toward North Ixung ranch. The Shamrock pointed north of tho tall Branch port tower wbllo tttesoluto pointed eouth of It. Both put up their smallest Jib top sails on their way to tho beach. lAt this time 1t was Been that the Shamrock was heeled well down on her sailing lines but one beclod lesa than Resolute. The moat etrfklng fact about tho model of tho challenger Is her ability 0 spread 20 per cent, moro canvass (l,fc84 square foot more) and carry it well when her displacement Ls but K par cent, (Zzl cubic feet) tn ex cess. Off North lying Branch, Shamrock waa tho first to turn to the starboard taclc A big pound net was dead Ahead and ehe went about at 3.08. Kesolute turned a little later being then well out on Shamrock'a weather TOW. RESOLUTE ABLE TO LAY COURSE TRUE TO MARK. The itwo yachts lhad traveled over nine miles on that board. They now were aJbout 3 3-4 raUea. as measured on tha chart, from the turn and Resolute could lay her eourso true to the mark. The thrash down tho beach was moat (beautiful, but it wan unlike tihat of Wednesday, for Bhamrock -waa vTmuia a icicii tne mora, anu wt , therefore unable to start sheets Larger Sailspread the Challenger T T r i was uYmonshated that, boat for bontj Shamrock docs spread nearly 20 per G per cent. larger In displacement! ltt I and make a close roach In tho In.st miiP, na she did on Wednesday. She hold as high ns she could, .and she made a awift board of It because tho wlndi was up to at least twelve knots, but Rfwolut did better still. Just beforo reaching the mark Urso lulo took in her Jib topsail. Then she naswl off her sheets and rounded the mark which under the rulo waa pasned port side to. A renchlng Jib torill tvus then sot quickly. As Hhamrock had to paw tho umrk on the same wide she turned to tln first tack at 2.38 and rounded less tlvin a minute later. Doth racers wcrj cor dially applauded, of course. The official time of the turn were: Resolute, 2J4.17; Shamrock, 2.36.58. Ttnvnlu,,. 11 1... ... I.. , . . . ends.

The gain was less than the old sal- lot hnd calculated for her in advance and .they therefore watched tho two raocrs with lntcno Interest dnrlnn- the second leg. It may bo confidently asserted that at first Resolute reached away from Sliamrock oven though a clone reach Is the Challenger's best point of failing. Resolute did this be cause Shamrock's crew took down her baby Jib topsail after rounding. They ragged tt In tho wator and they then set another jib topsail too small for the occasion. It was not until 2.42 that Shamrock's first reaching jib toponll was act. That u was too small wns then Proved by tho crow taking It dawn at 60 and sruhsrltutinir. In ri fashion, one of full length. Meantime Resolute hnd sained at least 100 yards and probably 150. uunxiR: mis rencn tun vnchta r,n real breeze Just what both crews "au oecn caning lor.

SHAMROCK SEEN CRAWLING UP ON RESOLUTE, llavlne set the rlirht llh tnn.nii Shamrock was seen crawling up on Resolute. It was demonstrated thnt. when woll handled ln a smart breozo sno can outsail trie defender close hauled. Hho can mobahlv do It In nny breeze when on that point. But sho cannot gain enough In a ten-mile leg to make up for what she loses on a ten-mile thrash to windward. Tne omclal time at the turn wns- Resolute, 3.25.49: Shamrock, 3.27.16. Resolute led by 1.27. She h.nl led at the first turn by 2.11. Therefore Shamrock gained forty-four seconds ln a close reach of ten miles. As nald. that was not enough tn win the race, boat for boat, let alone counting ln tlmo allowance. After rounding the second turn tbo wind was variously estimated from eighteen to twenty knots. Sir Thomas naa iDoon uut one race for the Cud in wlrich he had os good a breeze, and that was the second of the first series Shamrock I. and Columbia. Uut before the second turn thunder wns heard rumbling in the haze at tne north and later an ominous fog bank appeared. Then n threatening squall gathered ahead of the racers clouds us well as the fog bank seemed to roretell danger. In tho meantime a man wns hoisted up Shamrock's mnjrt to tho truck of the club topsail. He worked nt Borne, thing there for a tlmo nnd then was hoisted up to the lower end of tho yard (or sprit), where he niraln te camo busy. What he, was doing could not bo learned by those oiv the eve ning press boat, but ho seemed to be trying to nave the all from disaster, because at 3.40 the top of the sail col lapsed, leaving a triangle of It set below a horizontal line from the end of the gaff to tho topmast. At 3.44 the whole sail wns hauled down, und then a rain squall enveloped her and the whole fleet. WIND HEADS RACERS AFTER THE SQUALL. While the squall was on the n'lnrl dropped.

Adding ttmo allowance (G minutes 40 seconds yesterday) her lawful gain was 9 minutes 58 seconds. RACE TO-DAY 18 THE FIFTH AND LAST. The race to-day ls the fifth nnd lait. It will consist of a bent fifteen ml'es to windward nnd a run home if the wind comes from the sea In that case any wind fit to carry tho racori over the course within the time limit of six hours should glvo Resolute an easy victory. But Sir Thrsiias has yet one rh.ine If the wind comes from the land sny from the northwest at the siar: custom will lead the committee to lay the course dead before the wind and send the racers away with splnnakerj set. Shamrock is a very wvlft Milp lioforo n light a'r. Moreover, a Light northwest wind Is pretty sure to die out and then wo shnll have a wind from a new quarter. The new wind might easily favor Shamrock enough to give her the race. Tn a variable, flaky wind, she mny have llio luck to win, mid It would bo a legnl or legitimate victory. Tpo Cup has bean saved moro than once by a lucky slant of light air. Who can say whether It will or will not be lifted by Just ouch ludk? Half Wast N. V. Ontrnl I'lnits for W. K. Vanderlillt. A. II.
