challenger and defender were gliding
to and fro to windward of tho lightship,
not yet rapidly, to bo sure, but sedately
and steadily, like sentinels on patrol
The observation fleet was tho most
meairo of the week. There wero not
nearly so many private yachts follow
ing the mm as on previous days. Even
Mr. Morgan's Corsair, which was at her
poet throughout the day, had u much
smaller complement of guests aboard
than usual. It looked ni though yachts,
men of tho clubs centring In New York
already had conceded tha Cup to Sir
Thomas. If such there were who
thought the right wag all over, and who
had seen enough on Tuesday, when
Shamrock won her victory, they prob
ably will regret all their lives that they
failed to follow the raco which men who
love the salt sea will talk about for
many decades.
Fifteen minutes past the noon hour
the naval dirigible C-10, destined later
In the day to become a wreck, came
gliding along out of the amoke screen
and the curtain of morning hare. She
was seemingly In One fettle as she
soared and ducked "and poked her sli
vered nose above the racing yachts while
they manoeuvred around the red light
ship In the freshening breexe.
The biplanes and the monoplanes were
In evidence as usual, though not In such
largo number. Like angry hornets they
darted hither and yon,' sometimes cut
ting capers too close to the observation
craft and the naval guard ships for
comfort, and occasionally charging
bratenly directly abovo the cup yachts
at an elevation of only a hundred feet.
It ml Ilnttle of Skippers.
With the course laid south by west
the start came at t o'clock. Then en
rued the battle of the skippers, the de
tails of which are described In another
column. The Resolute In her windward
work demonstrated the truth of all the
best things her friends have said of her.
When the two yachts had fought their
way, hammer andtongs, to a point just
off the Atlantic Highlands, the Resolute
had not only the windward gaugu but
ohe had worked ahead of the Irish
yacht.
As Burton went on the starboard tack,
while Adams held to port, the rivals ap
proached each other rapidly, and It was
possible for the first time to estimate
with accuracy their relative positions,
fihamroek evidently expected to cross the
'bows of the American and blanket her.
Capt. Adams let the green sloop come
on until scarcely 200 yards separated
them. Then he tacked right upon the
iShnmrock'g weather bow, and, as he
(went about, It was seen that he was
leading tho challenger by several hun
'dred yards.
This was the beginning of thf.sklp
pers' duel In wlndjammlng, In '-wJileh
.Capt Adams appropriated all tho hon
'ors. Once he had taken tho weather
gage on the Shamrock he never per
mitted the Upton craft to tack out from
under his lee. Answering tack for tack
the Boston skipper Increased his lead
hy good headwork. Every time the two
boats approached now It was clear the
(American was gaining materially.
With a wind, the velocity of which
had Increased to 10 knots, white caps
twere cresting every wave. Camp chairs
tstandlns on the deck of the Scmmes,
tone of the press boats, were bowled
pver as she thrust her sharp prow Into
the wind and followed the fast moving
"yachts. Both the racers showed their
lee rails under, while their crews clung
In serried rows slanting on the weather
rail, and spume bolted at the bows of
each boat and beneath them from stom
to stern.
IUce Clrea a ncnl Thrill.
If, as had been widely heralded.
Shamrock IV. revels In Just that type
of weather, die had a sallful of It yes
terday as she bowled along, close hauled,
off Long Branch and Asbury Park. Yet
there never was a 'moment of that
stirring beat down the Now Jersey coast,
so close to tho shore that hotel guests
could see easily this phase of the race,
while sightseers afloat following the
contest could ueo plainly the surf, driven
by tho brisk wind, dashing high upon
the beach, when the men aboard the
challenger had not a perfectly good
view of the stern of tho Resolute.
At times, when the atakeboat was
clearly In sight and tho chaso was
headed directly for It, both sloops were
heeling over so steeply that yachts
men, remembering the mishap that
tended Thursday's effort, held their
breath and watched for something to
snap or crash. But gear nnd tackle
stoqd the strain bravely. The rivals
rushed on toward the outer mark.
At this stage of the race William
Gardner, designer of the Vanltle, who
sat on the deck of the Semmcs close
abeam of the cup yachts, said that In
none of the races sailed by the Resolute
with tho Vanltle had he seen tho de
fender bowled over so she showed so
much of the radiant magnesium bronze
of her underbody. The Irish craft, too,
.though she seemed to stand up more
'stiffly, displayed her green underbody
almost down to her keel.
Tlfe sun, piercing through tho shore
ward haze, tipped every whltecap with
liver and flashed from tho mirrorlike
meiainc Dottom or tho defender. The
mils of each Craft, taut as though cut
nut of old Ivory, cast thalr l fin rr raflnsv
Uon over the sea's surface with some
thing of the effect of moonlight Before
ihe bow of each contestant a fountain
of spray curved back, cascading, upon
the wet deck. ,

From the bridge of the Scmmes Capt
Norton announced the Rcsolute'a lead

turning buoy as 765 yards, or about
one-eighth of a mile. The Yankee cham

the moment the run down the wind be
gan It was easy to see that Shamrock,
though she might plod slightly ahead
in the fifteen mile Journey, could hardly

American's race from the moment who

But Interest was tense from the In

abeam of one another. Men stood upon
tho decks of the sightseeing vessels
spellbound. They could not talk until
after they knew the outcome..
As the Irish sloop crept slowly ahead

All Hands Are Saved.
The climb that began as soon as the
accident to tho valves became known
had taken the blimp to' an altitude of
3,000 feet from the 1,000 foot level from
which she had been watching the chal
lenger nnd tho Roaolute. Xow she had
begun to fall agayi. More gas had been
lost from the bag and, despite the fact
that alt the sand ballast had been used,
she continued (to go down.
When the Rockaway station was

done by tho officers. Simpson In writ

"Evans stared overside at the field;
then the rudder swung, and th airship,

"Throw over your batteries!' he
called to the radio nan. With a knife
slash the operator cut the wires and
heaved the heavy box to the cockpit

it went hurtling down, to
with a splash In the water. The sur-
face appeared
to uo leaping upward.
The ship was dropping fast but there
was little sensation save the rush of the
wind. It was a swift glide down a steep
slope.
' 'Life preservers!' Evans called above
the dying roar of the motors as they
were cut aown. The passengers began
to struggle out or the parachute har

safety's sake and the engineer leaned
first to let .free all the gasolene In the
tanks, then reached out the Jackets.
"Foot by foot the slope of the fall
steepened. Then; with a final rush, the

the front end of the car plunged down
into it up to the cockpit rail, a lurch
shook her and the gas bag went top

MERELY claiming that a bond

a bond that .is already safe as a

Does Not Sail.
Business almost got down to the roa
tlno of an ordinary day at the station of
the New York Yacht Club at tho 'foot
of East Twenty-third street yesterday
forenoon so few In number were the
parties that left that point for the outer
bay to attend the third of the races for
the ""America's Cup. Depression over the
failure of Resolute to live up to popular
expectations may have brought about
the very evident lack of Interest nmonir
owners of private yachts in the doings
of yesterday and, then, there was the
very reasonablo explanation that yachts
men also are business men who. In these
practical days, use their swift corfft for
commuting purposes , between country
places and tho metropolis.
But, whatever the cause, there was
only 10 per cent of the animation at
the yacht club's station that had marked
that Important point on previous racing
days and the same want of life was evl
dent at the neighboring dock at Twenty-
fourth street, from which the New York
Yacht Club's steamboat, Highlander,"
started each forenoon on the first three
race days with about 600 members and
guests on board each day. Yoaterday
the Highlander did not go down the bay.
Harry Payne Whitney was one of sev
eral yacht owners who anchored their
craft off the Atlantic Ya;ht Club Tues
day night and he and his guests went to
Sea Gatu yesterday to go aboard his
power yacht Whllciway.
Jtr. and Jlrs. John N. Willis had ar
ranged to go nbroad on board the
France yesterday, but the postponed de
parture of the liner gave them a chanco
to witness yesterday's race on board
their steam yacht Emerald.- Their
guests included tho Duchesse dc Chaul
nes, Miss P'rances L., Sullivan of Phil
adelphia. Jlrs. Chrysler. Jamea B.
Clews. Francis Burrall Hoffman, Jr., and
Jlr. Jncksoa Jlr. nnd Sirs, Willys will
sail for Europe torday and will be ab

The Little Sovereign, Frederick W.
White's steam yacht, which has been
acting as a patrol boat, ran against tho
local coal problem. While the few
other parties wero getting under way
from the station the yacht was tied up
to one side of ftie basin awaiting the
coal, that did not como until noon. She
then got away.
James Cox Brady, entertained ono of
tho few parties that left the station on

Fordell and Concwago also started from
tho station.

VICTORY GIVES
DEFENDERS HOPE
Continued from Fittt rape.
Ing. was not thrilling nnd first one yacht
and then tho other seemed to liava tne
advantage.
Jib toDsalls were sent un In stops on
each vessel, and Just beforo the starting
signal was made at 1 o'clocK ueeoiuie
took the starboard tack and headed
about tast Shamrock, too, tacked, nnd
hauling- the wind stood for tho Una near
tho lightship end, and she crossed at
1 :00:22 with n baby Jib topsail Drum-n
out and sheeted down. Ilesolute held
further toward the committee's tug and
gathering good headway sho hauled
sharply on the wind and crossed at
1:00:41, or 19 seconds after the chal
lenger.
On this tack the two yachts were
heading southeast and south. Resolute
was leading in the direction In which
they weru salting, with Shamrock on
her weather .-uarter, a poor position, as
Ilesolute waa spilling tho wind on the
challenger's head sails. This was not
to tho liking of those on the green yacht
and In less than a minute aftor cross
ing sho took the starboard tack and
Ilesolute spun around almost with her.
Resolute had broken out a No. 2 Jib
tnnn.ill shortly beforo crossing, to which
some of the experts objected, but it was
doing well.
WHcn the wind comes rrom tne west
or south It la always well to get In .as
close to the New Jersey beach ns quick
ly as possible. The wind draws a point
or more freer off the shore and while it
mnv head a yacht on the port tacK It
will let it up when It takes tho star
board tack. Mr. Burton knew this, and
giving the Shamrock a rap full ho let
that yacht foot fast and the wind hav
ing freshened a little she moved fast
Rcsouto was pointing higher anu
Bteadily ato her way out to windward.
After half an hour of sailing the wind
dropped and was patchy, but only for
a few minutes. It backed about a point
and let up the Resolute, giving thit
yacht a Httlo luck, out was soon back
again In Its original quarter ana men
freshened again.
Ilnce llecomca an Even .Thing.
At 1 :50 o'clock Resolute changed her
Jlbtopsall for u small one. Up to that
time it was qucsuoname ir sue coma
cross the bow of the Shamrock when
that yacht should stand oft shore, but
Uie change made a big difference In her
sailing. Shamrock stood In until tho
Navcslnk Highlands loomed up nhead
and then took the starboard tack off
shore.
Each skipper was watching the other
or better perhaps cacu snipper was
watching his yacht, but the eagle eyo
of Mr. Emmons never lost A move
mado oivthe Slurtnrock, and an equally
vigilant eo on the Shamrock was not
ing tho methodical precision of the
wovk on the Resolute. The yachts were
so near to each other that the order
"ready about" on one could be heard on
the other, and the orders wero given by
signal. They were a little more than
two minutes on tho Inshore tack and
then both were about again standing
out to sea. The Resoluto still had the
Shamrock covered, and Mr. Burton gave
his yacht a rap full, let her foot, and
whilo she sagged to leeward he was
ablo to get her In a position where she
had the wind clear. He soon drew clear
nnd then luffed and settled down on the
course.

Instant her Jib topsail began to flutter

oiiamrocK, instead of niung away on
the starboard taok. fell off again on
tho port tack headlnr in shore, and
for the Resolute fell off on the port
lac wiui ner. At z:is o'clock both took

again a series of short taeka inUnneeA.
Pcrhaps those on the Shamrock thought
iey migni una a weoKness In the Hcso

Thn little boat stood tho strain Just
as well as tha big challens-er. ami h.

At ,2:25 both were heading offshore

about a quarter of a mile away and to
weather of the defender's wake. The
wind had freshened to about ten mile
strength. Tiny whltecaps flecked the
tups of tho waves. Resolute, with her
rail down almost to tho water, had her
crew at the weather rail. She heeled
about 5 degrees more than 8hamrock.
Both yachts were sailing fast.
After a quarter of an hour on thin
tack Shamrock luffed sharolv to trim
sheets flatter. She waa sagging down,
nnd shortly after 3 o'clock was dead
astern of Resolute. Her gaff swung off
more than that of Resolute, which ac
counted for her being unable to point
wan mat yacnt. Tne positions taken
with range finders on board tho de
rtroycr Semmea showed that Resolute
had a lead of about 3 minutes at this
time, and then Shamrock was luffed
fcharply again to trim sheet. After that
(.he did much better and steadily gained

3:26:27. Her sheet was eased off to
Htarboard, but for a few moments she
field to the west to keep clear of Sham-
rocK, mat yacht having tho right of
way. Shamrock passed to leeward of
the Resolute, took the port tack and
eased off at the mark at J:28:H. The
Resolute had taken 2 hours 25 minutes
15 seconds to sail the fifteen miles to
rindward. while Shamrock's time was
2 hours 27 minutes 52 seconds, showing
that itesoiule had a sailing lead of 2
minutes 6 seconds without her time al

3 minutes 31 eeconds.
Both squared away pn the course,
Shamrock to the eastward of Resolute.
Spinnaker poles were lowered to port,

Then the Jib and fore staysail on each
