Shamrock IVs victory today was won in the fsftf of what seemed cer tain defeat. Kesolute had taken the lead at the start and held until, as she swooped within half a mile of th tnrnlner mark, fifteen miles irom th utart. her creat aVea of canvas RhtvArod and fluttered down her mast. A sudden : gnst hao snappea her throat halyard and a second iat er the jaws of her gaff were shat tered beyond repaid i When the Resolute was seen to be in trouble, a tug bearing S8r Thomas tJnton's colors drew swiftly op to the steam yacht Victoria, f rtam which Sir Thomas was following! the pro gress of the challenger. Many be lieved Sir Thomas was ' ordering Shamrock IV to fail to cross the fin ish line, making it no race. . A state ment issued later, said that this was his initial impulse, but that he had been persuaded by his companions to permit Shamrock IV to finish, as it was felt that construction and sturdiness of the contender should be taken into account, More thaa leo craft, ranging in size from an ocean liner to power boats, followed the contenders over the 10-mile course. . Shamrock IV was given a mighty ovation of screaming whistles as she flashed across the line at 26 minutes, 26 seconds after 4 o'clock, having completed thecourse in fonjr hours. 24 minutes, 48 seconds. " " in i ABOARD STEAM YACHT VICTOR IA, Iiy Wireless to the Associated. Press) July 15. A victory t!)at was not earned is the way Sir Thom as Lipton. owner of the challenger, summed up today's race. "I am exceedingly sorry that the Shamrock won through a fluke." be said, "and I would much prefer not to accept the race. I am convinced by my friends, however, that such a course would not be for the best in terests of yachting and that it would tend to set a precedent whereby a premium could be placed on faulty or slight construction. "I lost a race myself. he added, "throagh a fluke- the breaking of. a sail and I know tbe American peo ple sympathized with me. I can say positively that it is no pleasure, or glory for me to i win a race through a fluke. With a good steady breeza Saturday, I am convinced that Sham rock will come out a winner." j blr Thomas viewed the race from the steam yacht Victoria, chartered by him for the occasion. The victory gave him no feeling of exultation; He accepted congrat n'attons tendered "him -but his inter est in the prospects of the next race and his confidence in Shamrock for future showing was far more marked than was his interest in the result of the first day's race. Ant omoblit Dealers Are Affected by Opinion X Frank K. Lovell, state car com missioner, has submitted to Attorney General Brown the question whether an assessor,, tax collector or other taxing officer may correct th as sessment rolls for the purpose of re moving errors, adding omissions or correcting double 1 assessments as provided by law, or has power to strike from the rolls a tax assessed against a dealer for motor vehicle) which he owned March 1 which were subsequently sold to other persons who paid the secretary of state the registration and license fees required by law. The attorney generat an swers the question In the negative: H ' It Is my opinion." says the at torney general, "that the dealer must pay the regular taxes asse&ted on his property, and a sale by him li ter March 1 does not justify county officers in striking from the rolls'any car on thetheory that after it is sold to a licensed owner, to permit the assessment to remain on the tax rolls Is double taxation." ; Court street which Drnrwrtv he still owns.
