Shamrock III.
Glencove, May 21. The day for tho
maiden race of the Reliance In her
trial against tho Columbia, Is any
thing but promising, the wind putting
across the sound, while a denso haze
makes visual work difficult. Intense
interest Is shown In yachting circles.
Although the defender has shown up
well In tunlng-up spins, nothing defi
nite about her sailing qualities can
possibly bo known until she ranges
along another yacht.
E. D. Morgan, the Columbia's man
aging owner, said this morning ho
could not see nny reason why tho
Reliance should not be tho fastest
boat, but concluded by saying he re-
gretted very much he could not have
gone against the Constitution today.
The Columbia's crew was astir early
with full sails hoisted. The mainsail
Is said to be tho finest ever hoisted
over tho old defender, and both sloops
will carry the largest posslblo sail
spread aloft If the wind stayB light.
The Reliance will kite tho gigantic
club topsail, which has caused so
much comment.
Poor Day for Racing.
Glen Cove, May 21. The start of
the yacht race has been postponed
until a more favorable tlmo this after
noon, as the breeze has died down.
The wind picked up slightly at 10
o'clock, but It Is anything but an Ideal
yachting day. The Reliance left New
Rochelle about 10 and moved out Into
tho sound. Unless the wind strength
ens, the trial will be llttlo more than
a drifting match.
REFERENDUM ON THE FAIR.
Probable Failure of tne Attempt to
Kill the Appropriation.
Portland. May 21. Word wbb re
ceived today from a member of tho
stato commission of tho Lewis and
Clark fair at Salem, that Secretary
of State Dunbar had decided that all
petitions foi- tho referendum on tne
fair must bo In his office by 5 o'clock
this afternoon. Sovernl petitions
wero sent In yesterday with a total
of 000 signers.
At present It seems uouuttui uini
tho necessary number of opposcrs to
the state appropriation will bo receiv
ed to endanger tho progress ot tho
preparations now being made. Tho
number ot signatures required Is
about 4,400 and unless petitions como
In faster than Is now Indicated, the
movement will bo a failure. A great
many pcoplo In the farming sections
have expressed a feeling against al
lowing the state to sind tne aruouui
for the fair,' but U Is believed that
they have changed somewhat In sen
timent.
Alllinuch It Is verv doubtful Hint
the required number will be received.
8tnce only, COO wero reported Inst
night, It Is accepted that there can
be a materlnl change today and
enough petitions to Invoke the refer
endum,
Tho race Is now on. Tho Reliance
went across the line second, the Co.
lumbla 20 seconds later, then stood
away to tho eastward toward the first
mark. When passing Peacock Point
two miles from the start, the Rellanco
with her great sails spread, had con
slderably Increased her lead. After
reaching this point the wind seemed
to fall away and the yacht Is practl
cally becalmed.
At one time the Columbia drow up
slightly, then tho Rellanco again
pulled away under a cathaw's wind,
It Is practically a drifting match.
At 3:40 o'clock the Reliance had
Increased her iad In tho drifting
match to over half a mile. About flvo
minutes later a five-knot breeze
sprung up and the Columbia struck
first and began to move swiftly up,
