"COLUMBIA, QEM OF THE OCEAN"
Shamrock II Fairly Outsailed in Every
Race.
7f!DCl)P YET REMAINS IN AMERCA
Sir Ihonias Upton Satisfied That
the Better Boat Won ? fluch En
thuslasin, ^
t* ?? >
Tho final race between the chal
longer, Shamrock II and tho defender
Columbia, was run Friday. The Co
lumbia had already "won Id two "pre
vious races, and although the < lead
bad been a -narrow one, gr<^t hopes
tii her dttcccfey, v>\w fjrtoT In tho final
race were entertained on Friday. She
completed hor defense of the honored
trophy In another stirring rare with
? he Shamrock II over a leeward and
windward race of 30 miles, crossing
the finish lino two seconds Ifcfi&jjud
her antagonist, but winning by
seconds on the time allowance.
This allowance U computed, under
yachting rules and Is based on the
sailing length of each boat. The
chief eleinent In it is tho Shamrock's
lightship. J ust boforo th? warning
gun they ugain headed up Into tho
wind simultaneously and worked
back to their former positions. Doth
wore on tho port 'tack and close
hauled, with tho Columbia on tho
weather quarter of tho challenger.
Tho American bout wan first to
come about after tho warning gun
at 10:65.^ >Tho Shamrock II lmmedl
dlrectly astern of the defender, at the
same tlmo breaking out her tremen
dous ballon Jib and letting fall to |
starboard htr spinnaker pole. It was
?Captain Sycamore's game ttS cross
laJtt if possible. This lie was able to
do, but while ho had tho pride of po
sition in a leeward start, ho found
himself 30 seconds behind the hand!
cap gun.
Captain Barr, in the mecMme, had
delayed breaking out )\'v s&lls ,
held the Columbia's sheets
in flat. Thus, he, too handicapped
bis boafin crossing, but nut ho much
as his rh1al, for it Is estimated that
he was only 15 seconds behind the
handicapped gun. Spinnakers on
both boats were broken out on the
line and away they went on what
proved to be tho las' race of ti:e in
jjtomaUonl series of 1901.
xj^iirr kept up his good work and
toWr advantage of every change of air
that could possibly help him. Tho
Columbia was seen to be perceptibly
gaining, but every soul In the lleot

relatively larger spread of canvas i
than tho Columbia.
Plucky Sir Thomas I.ipton, owner |
.ojHJie Shamrock .II, standing on tho I
wrld^e of tho yacht Erin, led his ,
guests in three hearty huzzabs for j
the successfu^Iefemler.
"She is the better boat," he said,
"and she deserves to bo cheerel."
Sir Thomas, although defeated, will
go home with the satisfaction of
knowing thai, liis gold?? boat-4* Hi<e
fastest foreign yrtcht that ever cross
ed tho Western ocean. During the
ueiies of races not an untoward in
cident occurred and Sir Thomas will
return to England by far the most i
popular'of all the foreigners who have
challenged for tho America's trophy, j
The concluding race was the cios- 1
est of the series, but because qf the
flnkiness of the wind on tho." beat
homo, as a contest' of the relative
merits of the yachts it was not to be
compared with tho magnificent bat
tles of Saturday and Thursday. The

enough to croas the line ahqad. The
wind headed both boats a bit.
At 3:30 the Shamrock II went
about on the starboard and headed
for the middle of the line. The Co
lumbia tacked under her loo. Darr's

gallant defender was well "within her
time allowance.
The Shamrock II was first to luff
across, but hardly was this percepti
ble before liarr did the same thing
j.with the Columbia, and they went
over only two seconds apart. The
L.two second* wore to the credit of thp

she was a beaten' boat according to

had all aloiig been garrisoned with
fewer than a hundred troops, well
supplied with arms, ammunition ai?1
commissary storoB, including moriN
than 150 bean of cattle and other pro
visions in proportion. The landing?
wild effected before daybreak by
means of canoes. Simultaneously the
island wus stormed from the other
end by Liberals on the mainland.
Morro Island is surrounded by shal
low sand banks 'and tho only means
of approaching .Tumaco is by tho nar- j
row river which is within easy reach j
of the island.
Tho llritish steamer Quito, bound
from Cuuyaquil, Ecuador, Panama and
touching at ports between, anchored
off Morro Island, on the night of Sep
tember 2t}, and weighing anchor at
daybreak, started up the stream to
ward Tumaco. The Lllu'fals tired a
shot across her bows. Suspecting the 1
situation. she immediately turned,
bu / ^ IIU? shots and one cannon con
tinned to be fired at her, the fonder j
striking her several times and latter !
once, the ball making a hole right
through her above the watermark,
though the damage in other respects
was slight. The Quito then steamed
to the farthest point the tide would
permit and again anchored. The 11 r- j
lag was now resumed, but It quit
after a few minutes, the Liberals see
ing the imprudence of their? action.
It is significant that shortly after the
Quito .incident became known, the
llritish warship Icarlus left itinama
for a destiiraiiou not made public,
but presumably Tumaco.
The steamship agents have been
officially notified not to accept freight
at that port. The situation on the
isthmus is unchanged and quiet.

fear to run against any man in this
Slate except two, namely, Senator
Tillman and (leu, Hampton, because
1 believe cither of them could beat nie
or any other man in the State.
'"By the way. 1 think tho very best
solution of tho senatorial contest
would be for all of the young men
who are now candidates for the place
to announce their withdrawal on tho
condition that Gen. Wade Hampton
accept the position ami lot the old
general bo' elected without opposi
tion.
"Without any roflectlou upon any

that Gen. Hampton's views on na

I event as the .selection of Gen. Hamp
ton at this particular time would
make the Democratic party of this

of fine Savannah people, all* blooded

the Kings and Dunwoodya, who were

dear cousin In Birmingham who has
nine girls and one son. What a pity
that (/hose two families were n:>t neigh
bors and cotemporarles so that tho
children could have mated and inter
married. I like families with numerous
offspring. If I had the making of the
constitution, whether federal or state,
I wouldent let a bachelor hold a pubMc

to congress or the legislature. It is not
possible for him to feel deeply conojJin^
