the nearest of the attendant boats,' that something was amiss. The gaff ; began to sag, and Resolute seemed to boo uncertainly on the surface of j the water. Attendant boats began to '\ creep closer to view the wounded j racer. It was the beginning of the end so; far as the first race was concerned. With her mainsail sagging. Resolute rounded the stake under the momen? tum she had gathered in the splendid dash just before the defect in her too delicately planned mechanism began to spread. In throe minutes the main? sail was down on the deck and she was limping along with only one thin piece of canvas in place. The lookers-on began to real ire that for the first time siv.ee the schooner Livonia's victory in an opening race in the early sev? enties an American yacht was doomed to lose one race"in a series for the America's Cup. ? It remained only for Shamrock IV to returm to the starting point within the six hour limit. Then, by the rules of the international cup races, she would win, and there was no doubt that the sturdy green challenger could finish within the time limit. There were- thousands of critics watching the Resolute when the col? lapse came, and the bitterest of these were the professional mariners of the navy, who were dancing with a real desp sea rage as the crew of Resolute apparently watched the canvas flutter y lowly to the decks of the defender without trying to repair the damage. Naval Men Save "They could splice the blanked dashed halyards and they could lash the equally blank dashed gaff," an? nounced one who had been rolling about irf- the North .Sea during the W:or?d War. "With a blanked dashed time allowance and a lead of twelve minutes they could patch her up and make the run home. In the navy they would do it." But while the deep sea mariners of the navy danced and raged on their iron decks Resolute's crew were pack? ing the fallen canvas to keep it out of the water. The race was over for the day?for them. Civilian critics began to compare the \ Resolute with the New York Yankee baseball team. "It starts off as_though it would just laugh its way thro'ugh, just as the Yankee team rushes out into the lead in ;fl pennant race. Then it gets brittle?, just, like the Yankee team, and collapses when it ought to be right home with the race. It's just as brittle." "Trained down too fine," remarked another. "The Resolute, like manv s human and many a racing animal, gave ?way too much for speed. It couldn't take off that much weight and hold up.' What did yesterday's race demon strate?' It demonstrated that the Reso? lute, if it can hold up and if it is ?maneuvered as skillfully as it wa? maneuvered yesterday, can beat th< Shamrock IV boat tor boat?if it car hold up. But on this point there ?? more than a little to be feared. Then certainly was not more than an eight knot breeze blowing when the delicate defender collapsed.

In fairness to the challenger, this is do: to be regarded as a fluke vie tory.

But it must be re ?iombered, too, that the Livonia woi dnly that first race. Th^ie were more than a hundred ves sels of all descriptions hovering abou near the yellow Ambrose lightship a the time drew near for the starl There were all varieties, from liner ??nd beautiful steam yachts to littl fishing launches and dowdy little sail ing vessels. Five destroyers and a many coast guard vessels fussed abou directing the1 sea traffic. The gree Shamiock was towed out from th Horseshoe and broke her canvas. Th dainty Resolute 'came out under he own sails, and the whistles of the var ous craft gave them the usual nois greeting. Landsmen were glancin anxiously at the lowering skies. Resolute First to Cross The sun was fishing to peer throug the mists when Resolute crossed the lir first with a beautiful sweep. Shamroc IV flashed across before the two mil utes had elapsed and forged to tl fore. Fluttering side by side, Resolut with her convex mainsail, 6eemed 1 be carrying quite as much canvas f the challenger, despite the fact thi the official measurements showed si carried something like 1,600 feet lea The wind died as the rain peit? down, soaking tho acres of white cai vas as the yachts drifted through patch of quiet water. Then the bree: started to freshen again and the fla nosed Shamrock forged ahead. Thi were working in a deliberate, busines like fashion on the challenger. Aft the first rush of rain they sent foi men out on the bowsprit to change sail. The flat nose of the challeng was being thumped by tho seas, ai the wash soaked the heavy bundle canvas, but the sail was changed. Shamrock tacked to the starboai and started ahead with a fresh rush ? speed. Resolute seemed to lose on tl tack. The clouds thickened, then tl mists closed about the two racers at hid them from view of the followit boats. Only now and then the close of the attending vessels could mal them out. When the mists lifted again R?solu was leading, and leading decidedl She was racing away from the grei boat like a wild thing, gaining eve minute, it, seemed, and just as it looki as though there certainly would be race the wind died again and the t\ yachts onco more began to drift ov the still patches of gray water.

The wind had freshened cons: erably and began to dispel the mis shewing the Jersey coast and Seabri? in the distance. It was at this point that the V toria, with Sir Thomas Lipton and 1 guests, steamed up behind the destroy Simmes and within the lines.' It w as though the owner of the Shamro IV, incredulous that the challeng could be beaten boat for boat, h come up to satisfy himself.

To the right?Shamrock about to pass the crippled Resolute at the stake. was crowded, and the figure of the per? sistent challenger for the America's Cup was made out on the bridge near the quartermaster. A brief glance seemed to satisfy all on board that the Shamrock IV was beaten and, beaten hopelessly without even the time al? lowance. The attitude of the steam yacht itself seemed to indicate depres? sion as it dropped behind and the rac? ing boats sped on toward the stake. The cry was first raised from the bridge of the destroyer Simmes, "Something is happening to the Reso? lute!" Then quickly and spontaneously came the shout, "Why don't they do something? What are they waiting for ?" It was impossible to have done any? thing, according to a statement from Captain Adams, for the throat halyards had broken near the winch, and the Resolute was done for, just as she seemed to have the. race won and won effectively enough to discourage the present challenger for all time. After the Shamrock IV had rounded the stake and passed close to* the crippled de? fender the Morgan yacht, the Corsair, hovered close to the crippled racer, then sheered off and a tug was sent to the Resolute. While the crippled boat was being towed away the big green challenger, with the wind picking up, came home under shortened canvas. She took in the club topsail and set out in a mat? ter-of-fact way for the starting line again. The wind freshened, and the Shamrock IV picked up speed that in? dicated that she might be a particu? larly dangerous boat in rough weather. As the challenger crossed the finish line Captain Norton, of the destroyer Sommes, ordered the whistle and the siren of the navy boat blown. Imme? diately every vessel that had a whistle greeted the first victory of a British boat since the Livonia won one race o? an international cup series. .-a Cup Contest Viewed From Planes for First Time Large Fleet of Aircraft Soar?

The Course of the Race The Three Stages of the Race Defender Accorded Speed Honors; Disabled With Victory in Sight By Jack Lawrence Shamrock IV won the first leg on the ? America's Cup yesterday afternoon, when Resolute's gaff collapsed and ) forced her to withdraw from the race .immediately after she had turned the outer mark. When the accident forced victory upon her Sir Thomas Lipton's challenger was a badly beaten boat. She had been outsailed, outmaneuvered and outgeneraled by her American opponent and faced cer? tain, defeat when the Resolute's vic? torious flight was suddenly cut short and she crumpled up like a wounded duck. As a test of speed the honors in yes? terday's struggle unquestionably go to Resolute. As a tost of seaworthiness and stanchness the honors belong to Shamrock. Resolute would not have needed her handicap of seven minutes and one second to win. When her gaff came down, bringing the club of the topsail with it, she was between a half and three-quarters of a mile in the lead and was giving the British boat as severe and unlooked for a drubbing as any cup challenger ever got. The Her reshofif boat had beaten far to wind? ward, and with a bone in hen teeth was on the tack that would have car? ried her around the mark when her old failing of structural weakness aloft, came back to spoil her glorious per? formance. Resolute Springs Surprise But for the collapse of the gaff the defender would have rounded the outer mark and filled away for the run down the wind to the finish line with a, lead of nearly a mile. It would have been practically impossible for Shamrock to overhaul her, muclj less assume a lead herself that would have made up for the seven-minute time allowance. The outfooting and outsailing of .Shamrock by Resolute was a surprise that completely mystified backers of the challenger and sent Resolute rooters into the wildest flights of en? thusiasm. It was a complete reversal of all the advance dope and knocked the bottom out of the predictions of many of the wisest yachtsmen in America. Yesterday's was a windward and lee ward race of thirty miles. Going to i windward is supposed to bo tho chal? lenger's strongest point. The yachts had not covered five miles of the fif? teen-mile windward leg before the American boat had demonstrated that in this phase of the game her British opponent was no match for her. She proved conclusively that in beating she can defeat Shamrock, boat for boat. Rain Soon After Start The giant-sparred sloops had hardly passed over the starting line when the overcast skies darkened and rain be? gan to fall. This squall was followed by two others. Then the sun came out, and the wind, which had been al? most completely flattened out by the rain, began to freshen rapidly and blow in strong puffs. When these hit the huge wings of the racers they could be seen to heel over sharply. In this re? spect it was evident that Resolute was far more, tender than Shamrock. Pointing high and driving hard for the mark, Skipper Adams, of the de? fender, kept, his 'boat close hauled, while Captain Burton, on Shamrock, kept a sharp eye on the puffy weather and eased the challenger off every time ho saw an extra heavy blow coming. All eyes were on Resolute a3 she crashed down the starboard tack, and watches were out to get her time a:' she rounded the stake. At 2:50 Captain II. H. Norton of the destroyer Simmes, watching the white, sloop through bin? oculars, shouted, "She's in trouble!" A second later Resolute's long gaff swung downward, her mainsail col? lapsed and the club of her topsail was torn away. Gradually as the wind banged the sagging mass about, the whole cloud of canvas slipped down to the deck and left the top.-:ail flutter? ing wildly in the breeze. Spectators expected to see the yacht come up into the wind and quit, but she didn't. With only her headsails set, she held to her course as though nothing had happened and rounded trfc stake at exactly 2:53. Cheer aftei cheer went up from surrounding ves? sels as it was seen that Resolute was going to give the. Britisher a fight, even though crippled. But the Ameri? can boat was done. She had hardh rounded the mark when the iast hal? yard supporting the mainsail and fallei gaff gave way, and it was apparent tha' to continue the struggle was imposible Winner Passes Resolute Shamrock, footing faster under the piping breeze, made the mark her? self on the next tack and rounded it at 2:,">7. Five minutes later she passet her disabled opponent and went on tc ivin a race that she couldn't lose. Ah ? 01 h Shamrock had passed hei Resolute came up into the wind and fcne tug James Dougherty rushei. to her assistance and took her in tow A destroyer went alongside Reso lute a few minutes after the acci <\ent and asked what had happened Robert W. Emmons, managing owner ol the craft, said that her throat halyards had parted and caused the mainsail tt collapse. This is believed to have beet the beginning of the trouble, but it was obvious to persons on nearby boat that the gaff jaws had becomo entirel] separated from the mast, as that spa was hanging free in a perpendicula position. The wind increased rapidly after th mark was turned and the Shamroc found it necessary to drop her jib top sail. After she passed Resolute an< saw that the latter was out of the raco the challenger eased up considerab! and took her time on the run dow: the wind. Had the element of eompe tition remained she would have se a ballooner and a spinnaker, but wit nothing to gain by breaking out cloud of canvas, she contented herself wit her mainsail, club topsail and head sails. At 4:1S o'clock, when the cup hunte was booming up toward the finish lint there were signs of another squall, an her men were sent aloft to take in th c ?i j topsail. They just managed to go tiiis skyscraping wing in when the ?as blast of the day-broke in a torrentii downpour and a howling southwes wind. Crosses Line in Squall The full fury of the squall did nc swoop down on the course unt' Shamrock had gone over the line. The brilliant flashes of lightning and eras! ing salvos of thunder seemed to want t join the uproar of whistles, i'oghon and sirens that were greeting the vii torious Britisher. The demonstration on the part < surrounding craft could hardly ha\ been greater if Shamrock had ou sailed Resolute and overcome th heart-breaking time allowance she cot cedes. As her green hull flashed bi tween the committee boat Baryton ar: the melancholy Ambrose Lightship tl signal was flown declaring her the wii ner, and every craft with a noise-ma! ing instrument for miles around opent up in a leather-lunged salute. It wi the most car-splitting chorus ever sui for a foreign yacht in American watei Probably the best exhibition Sham rock gave during the afternoon was seen after she had covered the thirty-mile course and was caught in. the swirling blast of tho last squall. It was then that she proved her mar? vellous sturdiness. Refusing a dozen offers of assistance and declining to be towed, she continued to spread her huge mainsail and jibs when great schooners all about her were reefing or coming up into the wind to weather the blow. Only destroyers were able to keep up with her and it was estimated that while she was making this spectacular rush for the shelter of the Hook she was reeling off as much as eighteen knots an hour. Adams Outgenerals Burton Yesterday's race, from its start until the time Resolute was forced to with? draw, demonstrated clearly the supe? riority of Adams over Burton as a master of racing craft, and technique. This first became apparent in the sharp jockeying that followed the pre? paratory whistle and preceded the starting signal. In this work the yachts sparred al? most viciously for the advantage that goes with thee weather berth in a wind? ward beat. They cruised up and down the line between the committee boat and Ambrose Xightship in short, nerv? ous hitches and were frequently so close aboard that it seemed certain they would foul each other. Many experts believe that it wa3 in this sharp, almost bitter, jockeying that Adams gained the advantage that would have spelled victory for America if a breakdown had not eliminated his boat. The lightship was on the weathei end of the line and it was the aim oi both skippers to be close to her whei the starting signal was set. The yacht nearest the lightship would obviouslj be in a position to go over the line it the windward berth. When the warn ing signal was set both yachts wen practically astride the line and hang ing close together. it was at this poin that Adams played his trump card. He maneuvered Shamrock's skippe into believing he was going to take : hitch down toward the committee boa and actually succeeded in startini Shamrock in that position. Then hi suddenly came about, headed back fo the lightship and came about agaii directly under her stern as the start ing signal was given. This gave hin the weather and permitted him to be-a his opponent over the line by more thai a minute. When the yachts got away there wa only a slight breeze blowing directl; out of the southwest, and the sea wa; smooth except for a Ion;*:, easy groum swell. l:i the beat to the outer mar Shamrock tacked thirteen time and . Resolute eight. In each on of these hitches the British boat wa footing faster, but gained no grounu because she could not point as high a the American. Both yachts had mainsails, club top sails, staysail-! and jibs set as the; went over the line, and immediatel afterward broke out jib topsails. Afte one short hitch to starboard they bot! went away on a long port tack, whic they held until 12:30, just half a hour after the start, wnen tne tirs squall of the day broke and a down pour began. The rain 'was so heavy that tli yachts were not visible 200 yard away. Both boats were on tho starboar tack again when the squall hit then and when it cleared it was evident tin Mr. Adams had even turned the stori to his advantage. During the flurry in the weather Cap tain. Burton took several short, tack that gained him nothing, while th American skipper headed high into th wind on the port tack and held to ths um: for exactly 8 minutes and 23 sei onds. When the weather cleared r was seen to be far to windward of tl: .Shamrock and to hold a commancHr lead; When the sun came out again r wind came with it and the slooj sloshed about i a tho doldrums. Thi doused No. ] jib topsails and replace them with No. 2s, but the chaiii gained them nothing. When tho bree; did return it had shifted slightly 1 the west and reached Resolute son time before Shamrock felt its strengt This was purely luck, but it was clevi handling that had put Captain Adan in a position to take advantage of tl change. At 2:'," the s!oop3 had covered on eight miles of the windward leg, b' with the freshening breeze their sai began to dry out and both increasi their speed. As they approached the mark a fie of several hundred ver-scls gathered see them make the turn. The spect tors r*ot there just in time to witne Reso?ute's accident and the killing America's hopes for the day. With one leg on the trophy, Shai rock must ?.vin only two more races order to take the prize back to Englat Lipton Stands by Resolute; Fails to See Shamrock Win Delay to Watch Over Crippled Opponent Prevents Baronet From Witnessing Own Yacht Cross Line a Victor for the First Time The turn in the tide of Sir Thomas Xipton's foftunes came yesterday at one of the most dramatic moments in the history of international yachting! The heavy haze that followed upon the torrential downpour had just lifted, showing the two yachts, with Resolute well in the van and Shamrock well in? shore. Sir Thomas was at this moment on the bridge deck of his steam yacht Victoria, chatting with a group of his guests. The first glance after the mist lifted showed that in the first en- ! counter his latest challenger had fared no better than her previous namesakes. ; The baronet was visibly affected and a somewhat solemn expression came over his face. Turning to the man nearest to him, he exclaimed: "1 am sorry ac the poor show we have made to-day." As if goaded to pity, P'ate chose this very moment to reverse the ill fortune that has ever pursued Sir Thomas in his quest. The two yachts were Hear? ing the marker buoy anchored at the end of the fifteen mile run to wind? ward. Shamrock was taking a long port tack, in order to round the bow in one long swift run, and Resolute was close upon the buoy. The wind had heeled Resolute over to port in what, seemed, an extraordi? narily heavy list. It looked as though she would not make the turn without having to tack again. Resolute in Difficulty As Sir Thomas finished his remark, the mainsail on Resolute suddenly flapped helplessly In the light breeze, and it was plain that she was in great difficulty. Without a moment's hesitation Sir Thomas, taking the situation in, said: "I am sorry that this happened. It's too bad. It may be the cdstom to claim races that way, but it's not Tom Lip ton's way." The crippled Resolute had sufficient way to make the turn around the marker buoy, and then she came to helplessly, while her crew hustled to lower the main and top club sails. At this time the Shamrock was well on her last tack before the turn and was running much better than at any time previously. All eyes on the Victoria were glued to the green hull now rapidly approach? ing her crippled adversary. The v&yfr and motley flotilla that was tailing the racers crowded round the turning point to witness the vital scene. Then when the Shamrock well around the buoy, started on her fifteen-mile run before the wind, the big fleet crowded after her in the same manner that a crowd follows a victorious fighter, and abandons the loser. Stands by Crippled Yacht About the crippled Resolute none stayed except the steam tender and a lone destroyer duty bound?that is, with the exception of the Victoria. Sir Thomas ordered his craft to stand by the defeated yacht until it was assured that she was in no danger and was well in tow of her tug. Thi* delay to watch over the crip? pled opponent prevented Sir Thomas from seeing his own yacht crossing the .finishing line a victor for the first time. The day of victory for Sir Thomas was one of the greatest in his career. He was about early in great fettle and personally greeted each of his guests as they came aboard the Vic? toria from the landing pier of the Atlantic Yacht Club at Sea Gate. All about the steam yacht there swarmed a host of miniature craft of all descriptions whose occupants shouted good wishes and^ood luck to the baronet as they passed by. To each of these Sir Tnomus waved back an enthusiastic response with his arm. He was laughing like a schoolboy and was having the time of his life. The Victoria pulled up her anchor shortly before 10 o'clock and steamed into Ambrose Channel, running straight into the greatest procession of seago? ing craft that has ever emerged from New York harbor at one time. Replies to All Greeting? Surveying the picturesque scene. Sir Thomas exclaimed: "Good heavens, what a remarkable fleet! Are they all going to see the race?" To him the sightseers on the palatial liner, or the ding-y trawler were as one, and he replied to their greeting with equal enthusiasm and gratification. Nearly all called him "Tommy," and he laughed in response. On the Victoria among the guests was General Nelson A. Miles, the fa? mous Indian fighter of Custer fame; Dr. and Mrs. Lee de Forest, one of the inventors of wireless, and Robert Jacob, of City Island, at whose yards Sham? rock IV was refitted. Despite his regret, earnestly ex? pressed, over the mishap to Resolute, Sir Thomas was visibly pleased at the victory. As soon as the first flush of the dramatic turn in fortune had sub? sided he moved about among his guests again. Drawing a chair up alongside Mrs. Morris Nelson, he said: "f have offered Mrs. Nelson a job on board here if she will take it. She is my mascot. She was one of my guests on the Erin in the Mediterranean in December, 1908, when the terrible earthquake shook Mepsiha and killed 80,000 people." After this he began to tell jokes laughingiy to all. With a wink in his merry eyes he turned to the news? paper men and said: "Don't say any? thing about the man we fixed to cut that halyard. It would not look nice. I know you boys." Clubmen Man Ship When Highlander Crew Strikes -?-^t? N. Y. Y. C. Vessel's Deck Crew Asks $10 a Day and Get It, but in Twenty Minutes Double Demand ; Scions of Wealth Volunteer Their Services When the seamen of the deck crew] i of the steamer Highlander chartered: | for the cup race by the New York ?Yacht Club, went on strike yesterday ! morning for ?20 a day, their places . were filled by men whose daily salaries ? are many times that amount. These, i however, were volunteers from the ! ranks of the club members, who re : fused to have the race spoiled for ' them by labor trouble. The deck crew of the Highlander was originally hired for .*."> a day. : When members of the yacht club be? gan to go aboard the craft at the foot | of East Twenty-fourth Street yester i day the atmosphere of wealth was too : much for the sailormen. They sought the steamer committee and demand?e' i $10 a day. Given $15 Raise James D. Sparkman, Captain 0. P. Jackson, U. S. X., Hunter Wykes and Cornelius F. Fox, members of tiie com? mittee, considered this demand and de? cided to grant if. Tue crew remained satisfied for the space of twenty min? utes and then sent, another delegation to the committee with the announce? ment that they'd have to have $20 a day. The committee replied to this by inviting the malcontents to get off the boat. William J. Parelow, vice-president of the Consolidated Ship Building Com? pany, then proposed that the vacant places be filled by members of the club who were expert seamen and ears men. Immediately there was a rush to volunteer. All the applicants signed the following: "Owing to the lifeboat men and able bodied seamen going on strike just prior to the sailing of the steamer Highland for the yacht races, we, the undersigned, experienced seamen, agre to act as lifeboat men and able-bodieel seamen for the occasion." Some fifty men signed this agree? ment. Among them were: J. D. Sparkman, Henry R. Sutphin, B. L. Worden, Butley Whiting Cox, Henry W. Warner, Commander F. W. Toppan, R. T. Dodge, C. W. Clark. E. H.

Six' Hundred orr Highlander About six hundred members of the club and their guests, including some twenty-five women, were on board the Highlander when she pulled out at 9:30, half an ho?tr after the scheduled starting time. All interest in the race seemed to be over as the boats were nearing the turning stake, and glasses were dis? carded and many turned to cards. But when those who were still closely watching the yachts saw the mainsail go, a cry went up, and everv one grabbed glasses and rushed for the rail to see what the trouble was. Eyes were kept glued on tho Resolute until she rounded the mark, hoping to see some effort made to repair the damage. When the Resolute finally was taken in tow optimistic enthusiasm turned to depression. As soon as the Resolute was taken in tow the Highlander headed for home at full speed with a disconsolate though not discouraged lot of club members on board. Praise for Captain Every one bn board had nothing but praise for Captain O. P. Jackson, U. S. N.. who had charge of the boat for the yacht club, and Captain Scully, who handled her, for they kept the best : position in the line and never for a moment, except when the fog was heavy, were the boats hidden from view of the guests on board.
