THE AMERICAN CUP
The Yaciits Were Favored With a Glorious Breeze-The
Handsome Duel Made up for Repeated Disappointments
to Slghtseers-The Work of the Patrol Fleet was
Perfect--A Triangular Course for Today.
N E W YORK , Oct. 1 6.In a glorious breeze, over a wind
ward find leeward course of thirty miles tho Columbia scored
ngaiiwt the Shamrock today in the first race tf the 1899
series for the 'trophy. Slie bounded acros? the finish lino
fully a mile and n half ahead of the challenger, defeating her
by ten minutes and fourteen seconds actual tiin, or ten min-
utes and eight seconds corrected time, after allowing the six
seconds ban icap which the Columbia must concede to the
challenger on account of her longer water line. It whs a
decisive contest, a magnificent race, magnificently sailed and
magnificently won.

NEW YORK, Oct. 11 Tbe cup which:
the old schooner America won so hand
ily against all comers over the course
around the Isle of Wight In 1851 and
brought back across the ocean will
probably remain here another year, a
defiance to the world. - j
Opinion as to the merits of the two
boats had been somewhat 'divided as a
result of the flukes during- the past two
weeks. Although the preponderance of
, expert opinion never wavered in Its
loyalty to the wonderful speed and
ability of the white flyer, no nautical
sharp expected that the Shamrock
, would be so overwhelmingly van
, qulshed as she was In today's race.
The Yankee boat out-generaled hr
I at the start, beat her hopeleaely In
windward work to the outer mark and
1 gained 22 seconds In the run borne be
i fore the wind. , There was a strong
II or 12-knot breeit, and ft held good
( throughout the race.
! This Is undoubtedly a bitter blow, be
! cause English hopes of lifting the cup
j have never been higher since the
Thistle mat the Volunteer In 1887. Like
! the Shamrock, she was decisively de
i fe&ted lii the first hour's sailing.
The regatta committee, as a result of
' the showing made by the Columbia to
; day, are convinced that the cup is safe.
Blow high or blow low, the Columbia,
j It Is believed by her manager, Mr. Ise
! lln, can beat the Shamrock, Sir Thomas
' Llpton, like the true sportsman that he
; Is, confessed after the race that he had
; been fairly beaten. He had no apolo-
glee to make.
Today' race was a magnificent duel,
! and made up for the repeated disap
pointments the sightseers have suf
fered. There was lively Jockeying behind the
line before the start and the Columbia
; got the better of It. She clearly out
manouvered her rival. Eventually fore-
her er the line first by half a
loimfh but leaving the Shamrock in

The first few minutes of the race
were most interesting. They made
beautiful picture as they raced away
like hounds. It was soon apparent that
the white flyer was forging ahead. The
Columbia not only seemed to outfoot
the challenger, but experts saw that
she pointed higher. Withia 11 minutes
she had a lead of Ave lengths and
from that time on the race waa hers.
The work of the patrol fleet was per
fect and kept the yachts aa free from
interference as if they had been sailing
In the middle of the Atlantic.
The race tomorrow will be over a
triangular course 10 miles to the leg
and the Shamrock will have opportuni
ty to show what she can do under these
conditions. '
A MANLY IRISHMAN.
The Owner of the Shamrock a True
Sportsman and a Gentleman.
NE WYORK, Oct. 11-Sir Thomas
Llpton took his defeat with the spirltJ
of a true sportsman.
"It was a fair and square race," said
he to an Associated Press representa
tive." We were beaten fairly. No
two boats ever sailed a better race and
they were equally well handled as far
as I oould ste."
Speaking of the Columbia he said:
"She is a tine, fast boat and was splen
didly sailed. We gave her three rousing
cheers and her people, responded right
heartily. Mr. Iaetln and those associ
ated with bira on board are honorable
gentlemen and I wish to say that it Is
a pleasure to sail against suoa compet
itors. "My boat was well sailed and her sails
were well handled. I have no complaint ;
to make at all. We shall have an
other race tomorrow I hope and I
think there will be plenty of wind for
both yachts."
