the mark when the white signal ball
of the Barryton dropped and the
shrieking of whistles and . sirens
from spectator craft proclaimed Res-
olute's victory.
The beaten challenger swept quick
ly down the course, striving to
shorten the intervening gap.
The sun dropped like a plumet into
the deepening haze, and a pale moon
stood out with Increasing radiance.
When Shamrock IV got. over the
line the sun was but a shadow circlet
on the horizon beyond and the shim.
mer on the water had turned from
gold to silver. '
Great Circle Described.
Resolute had described a great
circle and had come back to the mark
to see her rival finish. As-the chal-
lenger crossed her British crew let
out three ringing cheers for the victor
and the conquerors responded with
cheers for Shamrock IV and her crew.
ir ThoitiM Lipton, who built the
challenger in his fourth effort to
lift America's cup and take it back to
Its original home in Kngland, turned
away from his humbled sailing beauty
and sent his steam yacht Victoria full
speed ahead to overtake and con
gratulate Resolute' crew. He re
turned Just in time to fee Shamrock
cross.
His gameness as he drew away from
bis own sloop to congratulate the
winner, elicited a salvo of cheers
from those on spectator craft. And
Sir Thomas responded Jauntily.
Sir Thomas announced he would
build a new challenger and come
across again in 1922, provided some
other yachtsman did not challenge
and win the cup sooner.
Rival Declared Better Boat.
"I was beaten by a better boat,"
he said, "1 have no complaint to
make. But I am greatly disap
pointed." Jn some ways the race was one of
the most exciting of the series, first
because In its early stages Shamrock
suddenly seemed to borne to life and
leave Resolute in a beat to wind
ward, and second, after Resolute had
re-established her supremacy, through
the uncertainty as to whether she
could finish inside the time limit.
At noon it looked as if all hands
would iave to come out the follow
ing day and it was not until half an
hour before the expiration of the
waiting period that a breeze finally
came in from the south-southwest.
The committee promptly raised on
the three-knot affair to start the
yachts. Shamrock won all the honors
of the start. Resolute startea in a
the green boat had everything her
own way the first 15 minutes.
Handicap Limit Exceeded.
The wind was scarcely more than
three knots and both yachts failed to
reach the line before the handicap
limit of two minutes expired. Sham
rock was first to cross, folicwed 40
seconds later by the defender. Both
crossed on the starboard lack and
Shamrock being in a -final place BO
yards to windward immediately
tacked to port. Resolute followed
and began to fall off to leeward
The yachts had not been sailing
ten minutes before a tow of barges
loomed up ahead. Resolute had to
tack to avoid them, but Shamrock
kept on and Resolute, having her
wind free, held off shore and kept
clear or hhamrock. Shamrock was
evidently heading for a better draft
of air under the Jersey shore, but
she failed to find It. while Resolute
picked up a favorable slant offshore,
Still an hour after the start Sham
rock was well in the lead.
Ilmolute Begins to Pick
Then Resolute bgan to pick up her
heels. Captain Adams tacked twice
before he got across Shamrock's bow,
but he finally landed and the race,
as between the two boats, was over.
Both held well offshire and finally
tacked for the mark with about three
hours to finish.
Resolute's lead at the outer mark
of four minutes and eight seconds in
elapsed time seemed to assure her of
the race provided the wind held.
Resolute held her balloon Jib
drawing within SO seconds after
rounding while Shamrock was more
than two minutes getting out her
big kite. Resolute headed straight
for the finish but Shamrock immedi
ately went on the opposite tack and
started in shore on a beat to leeward
Resolute held on and then followed
suit.
For two hours the two boats hauled
across from one side of the course to
the other. The wind was uncertain in
strength. Resolute at one time had
a lead of more than two miles.
Margin Dram Close.
All the while the time was running
out and the margin in which to finish
was drawing close. The sun went
down and still the yachts were miles
from the finish. Resolute hung to
ballooner, while Shamrock Bet a big
spinnaker In one last futile effort to
and forth before the wind and finally
headed for the line on the port tack
which carried her across amid a veri
table chorus of whistles from a small
fleet.

Coarse of Race Signaled.
A running account of the race fol
lows: Although eager to run off the final
race, skippers of Resolute and Sham
rock IV found scarcely a cupful of
air when they reached the Ambrose
channel lightship, the starting point.
The postponement flag still was
hanging limply on the signal halyard
at 12 o'clock. The yachts formed a
fine picture of marine still Hfe.
The regatta committee boat took
Its position alongside the lightship
at 12:50. still flyinsr the nosrnone-
ment flag "G." What little breeze
there was came from the south.
At 1:45 the code flag "ARF' was
set. Indicating a south-southwest
course for the final race. This will
give the yachts a 15-mile beat to
windward down the Jersey coast -from
the Ambrose channel lightship to a
point off Asbury Park, with a run
home.
Preparatory Signal Given.
The preparatory signal was sounded
at 2 o'clock for a start at 2:15.
Resolute carried mainsail, outer Jib
and club topsail. Shamrock urried
the same sails, but did not break out
ner staysail until later.
The wind had picked up off-shore
to about three knots.
The warning signal was blown at
2:10 and the sloops began jockeying
for the start, with their baby Jib
topsails up in stops.
The official starting time was the
same for both boats at 2:17:00, be
cause both had failed to cross within
the two-minute handicap limit.
Although the official starting time
of both boats remained at 2:17:00,
Shamrock actually crossed 40 seconds
ahead of Resolute. She flashed across
the line at 2:17:05 and Resolute at
2:17:45.
On the starboard tack seaward
Shamrock footed faster than Reso
lute and improved her position, though
the yachts were hardly more than
200 yards apart. Flutters of wind
when she was within 12 miles of the
finish line.
She was making about four knots
an hour.' -
At 6:10 while the sloops were tack
ing to leeward about 11 miles from
the finish Resolute still was well In
the lead. The yachts were reaching
back and forth for the home mark.
The wind was not more than five
knots an hour.
Reaolnte Gybes Onr,
Resolute gybed over and stood away
to seaward when she was off Long
Branch. With two hours to go the
American defender was making a
hard fight to get home within the
time limit.
Shamrock still was about a mile
behind Resolute when the defender
was still ten miles from the finish.
At 6:15. with the breeze still hold
ing, it looked like a race of Reso
lute against time with the chances
in favor of the yacht.
Resolute gybed over again at 6:24
when she was off the Shrewsbury
Rocks buoy, about half way home
and passed in toward the beach.
Shamrock apparently was hopelessly
outdistanced in the latter part of the
race.
When Resolute gybed, the breeze
had increased to six knots. Sham
rock gybed over to the port tack,
about the aame time. She was a mile
and a half astern.
At 6:56 the Resolute was leading
Shamrock by 18 minutes, sailing time.

first to send forth a whistle of con
gratulation. "1 can truly say that I can- find no
fault in the way the race has been
run or handled," he added. "X have
been treated fair and square by my
opponents. I can only hope I will
have better luck next time."
Sir Thomas reiterated he would
challenge again. He will wait 10
months, and then ask for a race in
1922. He also aaid that his next racer
will be "Shamrock V."
There was no disputing Sir Thomas
wss disappointed. He made no at
tempt to disguise his feelings.
"Nothing could have pleased me
more than to have won," he said. "It
has been my greatest ambition for 21
years, and I am very, very sorry to
lose. I wish I could have taken that
cup back home even again for a
week. I think it would be better for
yachting."
Resolute over the finish line, Vic
toria followed as closely as possible.
As Victoria passed the destroyer
Semmes her bluejackets and guests
lined the rail and the cheer that went
u;i for "Sir Thomas Lipton" had the
true ring of tribute to a game sports
man. Spectators on other craft fol
lowed the example of the destroyer,
and Sir Thomas had much, of the sting
of defeat tempered by the warmth of
the tribute paid to him.
Once alongside Resolute, Sir Thomas
led the cheer for the winners and then
called for a cheer for Captain Adams,
both of which wer responded to with
a will by the crew of the racer. He
then put back to wait for Shamrock
to finish and he in turn called for a
cheer for his own boys.
"They did the best they could for
me," was his only comment.
. "If this race has done nothing else
but bring closer together the people
of the United States and the old coun
try, I feel that my effort has been
wcrth while," he said. "I wish more
British would visit America. Nothing
could please me better than to have
the people of these two great coun
tries get better acquainted."
Sir Thomas took comfort in the fact
that for the first time he hac won two
races of a series.
Next time 1 will get a third." he
said.
Speaking of the New York Tacht
club and the rules. Sir Thomas stated
that "eve-ything was perfectly right
and proper." He added that Resolute
was fully entitled to the time handi
cap given her, and that all other con
ditions were fair and lust.
'The only complaint I can make
against the New York Yacht club," he
said, "is that they build better boats
thau I do. Never mind, however.
there will be another race."
Sir Thomas announced that he
would remain in New York for a short
while, and then go to Canada.

Sir Thomas Lipton has failed In his
fourth attempt to win the prize after
trying since 1899 with four Sham

broken steering gear.
The first race for the cud as
world trophy was on August 8. 1870.
when the challenging boat Cambria,
had to compete against the fleet of
the New York Yacht club. Cambria
finished tenth, the victor being Magic

only instance in which a challenger

These were the words of Sir Thomas
