It waa the first time that Burton. had out-maneuvered Adams. . ; The actual time of the start officially was Shamrock 1 :1? :05, He solute 1 :17 :5. It was announced that both yachts had failed to cross within the two minutes handicap' allowance and therefore their, starting time would be rated as 1:17. Two minutes after the start Sham rock tacked on Resolute's weather and the latter came ; about Immediately. Shamrock appeared to be about 60 yards to windward of Resolute and in a fine position. - -y v- .; Shamrock 'gained he lead at the start by running across to the iightship and then tacking back quickly while Reso lute wore around. . Shamrock came back and . was. well on Resolute' starboard beam. . This killed the defender's wind and put her back. Fifteen minutes after the start Sham rock was 100 yards to weather and gain ing rapidly. v At 1:65 Shamrock was half a mile ahead of Resolute. The defender had slipped over to windward of Shamrock's wake and was . getting a better breeae offshore. : Kxperts agreed it was the best race so far of the series. : Shamrock tacked offshore at . 3 rt4. having approached to within a mile of the beach. . ' Resolute, unable to cross Shamrock's bow. at 2:08 tacked 100 yards on her. Both yachts held offshore on the star board ack. . Resolute : gradually worked out to windward while Shamrock wks being pinched to hold the lead. At 2:20 it looked , like only a matter of minutes when the defender would tack a:rof Shamrock's bow and take the lead. DEFENDER IS AHEAD At t p. m. the yachts had sailed rink of the IS miles to the outer mark. Sham rock still held a short lead, being to weather of Resolute but sMgrhtly astern. Resolute picked up a favorable atreuk of wind at 3 :05 and passed Shamrock. It was the first time during the race that the defender was in the lead. The wind was very light, however, and it began to look like another postponement. At 3:01 Resolute tacked to port and headed across Shamrock's bow. The wind, however, was uncertain and set her off! being unable to cross she tacked to starboard on Shamrock's lee bow, 60 yards ahead. At 3:S the yachts had covered 1J miles in two and one-half hours. Res olute was holding a lead of a quarter of a mile and It was believed she had a chance of finishing within the six-hour limit. V Resolute tarked for the mark, closely followed by Shamrock. Resolute picked up a better breese at o'clock and was speeding for the outer .mark at a good clip. At that time she wss about one and one half miles away from the mark. Shamrock was fast dropping behind and It looked at that time as if the chal lenger had lost the cup. Resolute rounded the outer mark at 4:18:28 and started for the ftnlsh line with about an even chance of making that within the six hour limit. ) Resolute broke out her balloon jib within 80 seconds after turning the mark. Shamrock was half a mile astern. Shamrock turned the outer mark at .4:22:37. Dr. Eva Harding Is Dead at Topeka Topeka. Kaa July 37. I. N. S.
