"NO RACE"
As the Yachts Did not

Columbia SRowed Her Super

By Associated Press.
New York, Sept. 20. Ono of tho
biggest crowds that ever put to sea
went down to Sandy Hook lightship
today in various kinds of ciaft to wit
ness Shamrock II and Columbia stiug
glo for tho yacht supremacy of the
world in the first of the cup laces of
1001. But the excursion fleet returneJ
disappointed.
Tho wind was never moro than nine
and some times as low as three knots,
too light and shifty to carry the con
testants over the thirty mile couisc in
tho time allotted by ho rules. At the
end of five and one-half hours, the
prescribed time, the race was officially
declared off and the yachts wci e towed

but once In tho twenty-three miles and
then tho English boat show ed the waj
for only five minutes. In the wind

foreigner seven minutes and fifteen
seconds to tho outer mark and In
creased her lead somewhat in the broad
leach for home.
Wliile tho test was unsatisfactory,
yachting sharps are more confident
than ever tonight that the Columbia
will successfully defend tho cup. Cer
tainly the Columbia's superloiity in
light airs appeals to be demonstrated
today. Tho Shamrock did not mako as
good a showing as did Lipton's flist
challenger in tho half dozen flukes that
precded tho actual races two years ago
What tho Shamrock may be able to do
in heavy weather is problematical, but
the Columbln is tiled and all her ad
mirers Insist that sho Is distinctively
a heavy weather boat.
