the colors of. Sir Tltomas ldptoii, by
forty-one seconds on time allowance.
Crossing the line, boat for boat. Shamrock
defeated Columbia by two seconds
in the thirty-mile race to leeward
and return.
There whs the usual manoeuvring
for position at the start, the Columbia
getting a hit the Worst of the game,
crossing the line thirteen seconds
ahead of the Shamrock, and t here fore
giving her rival the coveted opportunity
of blanketing the leader, and
which the Shamrock was not slow iu
using. Then ensued a lulling match.
Captain Sycamore endeavoring to
keep the Sliumrock dead astern of
the Columbia, and that vessel striving
to get clear of the blanketing of the
Shamrock. The challenger's greater
sail area soon began t<? tell, and gradually

herself and the tlying leader.

The cup was saved, hut there was
nothing to haast of. In Shamrock the
American champion had found a com<
etitor which cnljed' for her most
j trcnuous efforts. Shamrock II. is
without douht the ablest yacht ever
sent to try for the fanlous cup. and
her work will he renumbered with
admiration by every lover of yachting
sport. As it standi! Columbia beat
her in throe races, covering n total dis

three niiuutos and twenty-seven seconds

thirty-six seconds corrected time. A
few years ago the total amount of the
victory would have been regarded as
very satisfactory for one race of the
series.
"I a in a disappointed man," said
Sir Thomas l.ipton. at Sandy Hook,
after the race. "My Inst hopes have
been shattered. Until within tifteeu

after a meeting of the eonipany's directors.
at which the usual quarterly
dividends were declared on hotli the

I'nusual interest was shown hy
Wall Street regarding the probable action
of the directors on the matter of
their issuing a statement of operations.
All doubts were scattered,
however, after the close of the Stock
Kxchange by the formal statement of
ihe company's sound position. The
figures show an enormous business,
which i\as not injured, apparently, by
the steel strike.
President Schwab tells the story of
the eonipany's operations since April
last, when lite "iliilioii Hollar" Trust

the otiioial stati nicnt is the announce j,
Intent that largo sums are sot aside

When th. :-.* amounts are
deducted there remains a balance applicable
for a surplus or new const ruction.
as the directors may decide,
amounting to Sr_\.T_'<;.7 r_\
When the process of concentration
was completed the corporation was
thrown face to face with a strike of
immense proportions, which threat
ened tile integrity of the consolidation.
I'nder these conditions the showing
is considered by the directors most fa\
oralde.
