NEW YORK, Oct 3. Here is the official log of the second race between Shamrock II and Columbia for the America's cup.

Weather Fresh breeze from north northwest, which remained true and main tained its strength throughout the day. In a glorious whole-sail breeze, which heeled the big cup contestants down until their lee rails were awash In the foam ing seas, Herreshoff' s white wonder, Co lumbia, today beat Watson's British cre ation, Shamrock II, over a triangular course of 30 miles, by 2 minutes and 52' seconds, actual time With the 43 sec onds which the Irish sloop must allow the American boat on account of her larger sail plan, Columbia won the sec ond race of the series by 3 minutes 35 sec onds. The fastest race ever sailed In a cup contest, it was not only a royal strug gle from a spectacular point of view, but it was absolutely decisive as to the mer its of the two racing machines. There is not a yachting sharp who witnessed the race today who is not firmly convinced that the defender 19 the abler boat, blow high or blow low, beating, reaching or running1, and that Sir Thomas and his merry .British tars are doomed to return home empty-handed. Again the ancient piece of silver which was brought across the Western Ocean 50 years ago is safe. Again American supremacy In marine architecture has been vindicated. Sir Thomas has been wishing for a breeze that would bury Shamrock's 'lee rail, and today he had it, just as, he had a similar breezes in. tho?- concluding race two years ago, when Columbia, In a driv ing finish, beat the first Shamrock over six minutes. It Was Shamrock Weather. The wind today was' strong and true, blowing around 18 knots from the north-, west, and at every point of sailing ex cept, perhaps, running before the wind, in which the defender has already taken the measure of the challenger, the -Yankee sloop proved herself abler than the Watson model. From the time she crossed the starting line, 1 minute and 34 seconds behind the mug-hunter, until she picked up and passed the Irish boat three miles after rounding the second mark, Colum bia's pace was faster and she behaved better than her rival. Reaching for the first mark, 10 miles down the Long Island shore, with the wind abaft The beam, she gained 22 seconds. In the closer reach for the second stake she gained 30 sec onds, and in the thresh to windward on the leg home she gained exactly two min utes. Not, perhaps, as thrilling as the remark able contest of last Saturday, today's race was nevertheless stirring from start to finish, and as a marine spectacle it could hardly have been surpassed. It was an Ideal October day at sea. There was just enough frostlness to clear the atmosphere and make the whole course visible from shore. The breeze from the land piled up little swells, but It was strong enough to whip the froth out of the racing waves until It whitened the face of the "sea. Its claws caught the black smoke from the stacks of the excursion fleet and the white steam from their exhaust pipes and tore them Into fragments. The ensigns and flags with which the vessels were dressed stood out like painted boards. The tall, canvas-clouded racers heeled as the wind smote them until their crew could with difficulty keep their footing on the slip pery decks, and the spurting spray was tossed 30 feet high as they shook their lean noses free from the foaming crests. On the thresh to windward their decks were a smother of white, and fountains of foam circled away from their graceful bows. Victory From the Start. The Yankee victory began with the start, when the crafty Barr, by a system of maneuvering, convinced his adversary that he was trying to cros6 the line first. Captain Sycamore promptly took the bait, and, rushing his boat into position, sent her away almost in the smoke of the gun. Thereupon, Captain Barr, having ac complished his purpose, tacked about hack of the line and held off for more than a minute. Then, with a flying start, he went over just before the handicap gun was fired. Some of the patriots were disappointed juntll the experts explained that there was no windward berth In a reach where the boats could lay their course straight for the mark, and that the position astern, where Barr could keep his eye on every move of his rival, was the commanding one. He could watch Syca more like a hawk, knowing that when the gap between them Tvas closed the race was his. For the first 15 miles no human eye could tell which ship, if either, was gaining, so closely were they matched. But grad ually It became apparent that Columbia was overhauling the flying challenger. Slowly, inch by inch and foot by foot, the white boat gained. Both were going at a terrific pace. The patrol fleet to windward, steaming In a line ahead at in tervals of 400 yards, had no difficulty in keeping the excursion fleet clear of the winged giants. Everything In the fleet had to crowd on steam to keep the racers in sight, and the gait at which they were going left tugs and some of the steam boats astern. The guide boat, which started 15 minutes before the racers, shot out at full speed, but she was hardly able to log off the distance and get the float overboard before the racers were upon her. While going, out the big North German Lloyd liner Deutschland, outward bound to Cherbourg, went through the edge of the excursion craft a half-mile to the southward. The fleet seemed anchored, so fast she went, looking like a big, swiftly moving Summer hptel. In 20 minutes she was hull down on the horizon. xa vub javuib aypiuitLiitiu me outer MMtM,HMHMnnMMtHnUttMHMHHH HHMMM SHAMROCK II, p""'7'"-THiirnTi "i 1 n;. ii - .. . -. m . . j..t.i.i..i j..i ,i..i i i J X k WITH SIR THOMAS JiIPTOir, HER, OWNER.

The patrbl-boats swung around Vo the west and charged dpwn upon, the excursion fleet. The. latter, with bells "clanging in the engine-rooms for more speed, turned tail, and the whole, fleet rushed madly to leeward of the last leg of the course. Leaving the first mark on the starboard, the racers gybed over the big booms and went careenin for the second mark, Co lumbia gaining slowly but surely. They had bovered the first 10 miles in a little over 50 minutes. When they swung around the second stake, they took in their baby jib topsails, -and hauled their wind for the beat home. Both yachts heeled unt'il their underbodies wero lifted high out of the water, and their lee rails dipped a foot into the -swirling billows. The Rnn Home. In five minutes after rounding the sec ond mark it was apparent that Columbia was foot'ing 'faster and pointing higher. She went through Shamrock'-s lee like a quarter-horse. The rush of the leviathans on the final tack was magnificent. The excursion boats, black with people from gunwale to pilot-house, gathered about the finish line in a great horseshoe. The great white flyer came on well In the lead. The patriotic skippers, with their hands on their whistle cords, could hard ly restrain themselves. As she swept across the finish the din was soul-destroying. Whistles split the air, and steam sirens wailed, drowning the crash of the bands and the cheers of the people. The concert of sound was terrific. Until after the gallant Shamrock, .beaten, but not disgraced, crossed 1 minute and 18 seconds later, wiuatles and sirens were kept going. When they died away, the bands could be heard playing "Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean," "Yankee Doodle" and other patri otic airs. The steam yacht Corsair was the first to signalize the American victory by set ting the starry banner at her masthead. By this time all the skippers had had ample time to ransack their lockers, and within a minute afterward every vessel in the fleet was alive with American flags. Sir Thomas Lipton, on the Erin, did not approach within half a mile of the finish line. He had seen his high hopes blasted and probably did not care to be in at the jubilation" over the defeat of his cham pion. But, like a good, game sportsman, after Columbia went over the line, he ran the American flag up to the forepeak and fired a salute In its honor. The rival crews cheered each other as they were towed home behind their tenders, es corted by the whole excursion fleet. With in a half-hour after the conclusion of the race the committee boat, in accordance with the agreement to race daily from now on, set the signal for a race tomor row. Admitted Columbia's Superiority. Sir Thomas Lipton, although plainly de pressed at the result of the race, stood bravely at the gangway of the Erin and bade cordial adieu, to his guests. He also entertained a large number of yachtsmen and ladles wlio visited the Erin after the day's guests had departed. When asked what he thought of' the race, he said: "I 'admit frankly that I got- licked by (Concluded on Second Page.) DEFEATED IN YESTERDAY'S RACE. SCHLEY SAILED AWAY DID "NOT JOIN SQUADRON AT-BE-GINNING OF- BATTLE. Brooklyn Steamed 2000 Yards South-, ward Before Joining in the Pursuit of Cervera. . WASHINGTON, Oct. 3. After Lieuten ant Doyle, formerly . of Commodore Schley's flagship, the Brooklyn, had com pleted ' his testimony before the Schley court of inquiry today, captain w. -,. Dawson, of the Marine Corps, was called, and was followed by Lieutenant Charles W. Dyson, of the Bureau of Steam En gineering of the Navy Department. Captain Dawson was -signal officer on board the battle-ship Indiana during the 'naval engagement off Santiago, and he gave an account, from recollection, of the behavior of" the various ships of the "American fleet during the battle. He said the Brooklyn had gone about 2000 yards to the southward before joining, in the pursuit of Cervera's ships. Lieutenant Dyson was introduced to testify concern ing the coal supply of the flying squad ron, but the court adjourned for the" day 'before he could be heard to any extent. The Proceedings. When the court adjourned yesterday Lieutenant Doyle was under exam ination by Mr. Raynor, and the court had just decided that tle witness should not enter upon a discus sion of the blockade of Santiago as It was conducted after the arrival of Commander-in-Chief Sampson. There was much interest in Lieutenant Doyle's re appearance, as It was expected that the course of hla examination would develop the further policy of Admiral Schley's counsel in the case. Court and counsel are beginning to show the effects of the arduous duties Imposed by the trial. Especially severe is it upon the lawyers, both for Admiral Schley and for the Navy Department Their duties do not cease when the court adjourns in the afternoon, but they extend far into the night, and often they are found at their labors before the breakfast hour next morning. The trial presents new points to all of them, and its various turns bring to light fresh complications, which have the effect of rendering it more try ing than an ordinary case would be. While all agree that it would be desir able to have the case terminated at an early date, they also agree that there Is little prospect in that direction. Judge Advocate Lemly probable will not call mora than six or eight witnesses, but Mr. Raynor has almost 40 names on his list. JEIe says, however, that he does not expect to examine more than half of this num ber. Still he will not undertake to name a day for the close of the trial within a month from this time. He does not expect to call Admiral Schley to the witness stand for some time yet. Mr. Raynor expects his client to make a complete re view of the case, and it Is .probable that the Admiral will be on the stand longer than any other witness. Captain Slgsbee was the first to appear for the purpose of correcting his testi- 1 mony. when he began his statement it was found that the official stenographer was not present, and . Admiral Dewey's private secretary, Lieutenant Crawford, was called upon to perform the duty of recorder of the proceedings. .Captain Slgsbee stated that he had made another search last night for the dispatch from the Navy Department, under the terms of which he sought to connect with the flying squadron off Santiago, and that he had found a private letter which he had written at the time lit which he had said: "Until we sighted the vessels on the 29th, we knew nothing positive as to their whereabouts." Llentenat Doyle Resumed. Lieutenant Doyle then resumed his tes timony begun yesterday. He was exam ined by Mr. Raynor. He continued, in re ply to questions, to give a narrative of the battle. Mr. Raynor asked whether' the Brooklyn had engaged in any bom bardments'durlngthe month of June, 1S93, but Judge-Advocate Lemly and Mr. Hanna objected on. the ground that the-question was similar to the question asked yes terday concerning the- blockade after the arrival of Admiral Sampson. Mr. Raynor said that his purpose was to show only what the Brooklyn had. done, and that it did not in any way concern what the New York had done. His pur pose, he said, was to show what had been done toward developing the strength of the shore batteries. "I know what the ruling of the court means," he said, "and bow respectfully to It" - Admiral Dewey said that If the question was confined to the Brooklyn there could be no objectlou. The question was then asked as to what the Brooklyn learned concerning the shore batteries as a re sult of any bombardments in June. Be fore a reply could be given the court re tired for consultation. At the conclusion of the conference Mr. Raynor changed his question so as to read as follows: "What do you know from your own observation in reference to the strength of the shore batteries and the guns? I want the result of your observation at Santiago acquired by you at any time without going into any general or specific detail as to the bombardments." Replying, Lieutenant Doyle said that at the bombardment which had taken place June 6. the Zocapa battery had re plied at first very spiritedly, but that it soon "weni out of business." After the ships withdrew the enemy had again manned their guns and then shot at the ships. On the occasion of the second bombard ment they did not remain so long-. "They always took a snap shot at us as we left," he said. Mr. Raynor then asked Lieutenant Doyle how often he had seen Commodore Schley under fire during the Santiago campaign. "Every time we were under fire," he replied, "during these bombardments and in the battle of July 3." "What was his conduct? I refer you to the first specification of the precept, his conduct m connection with the Santiago campaign, and what was his conduct and bearing at any time during the bombard ment or during- the battle of July 3, when his ship was under fire?" Admiral Schley Under Fire. "I did not have an opportunity, as the Commodore was always near about the conning tower, to observe his conduct during the battle, but Immediately pre vious and after I did have an opportunity (Concluded on Fifth Page.)
