The two Shamrocks, together with the steam yacht 
Erin and the ocean-going tug Cruiser, will leave for the 
United States on Thursday, May 28. Late cable reports 
state that it is possible that Sir Thomas Lipton will 
enter Shamrock L in all the races against Columbia, Con- 
stitution and Reliance where she is eligible. 
The body of Collier, the steward on board Shamrock 
in. that was knocked overboard and drowned when the 
vicht was dismasted April 17, was recovered on last 
Saturday. It was found in Church Hope Bay, Portland, 
and it was identified by the clothing, the features being 
unrecognizable. 
Constitution met with a slight accident while being 
hauled out on the railway at Jacobs' yard at City Island 
on Tuesday, May 19, which made it necessary for her to 
be put in the dry dock of the Morse Iron Works at South 
Brooklyn. She was to have been hauled out at New Lon- 
don, btit an accident to the railway there made it impos- 
sible and she was towed to City Island. Reliance was on 
the railway at Jacobs' yard, but as soon as she was put 
overboard' Constitution was warped on to the cradle. 
Wlien the latter boat had been hauled about two feet out 
of water, the piling gave way and this allowed^ the ways 
to spread and the vacht careened to port. The cradle 
was lowered immediately and Satellite, the yacht's tender, 
tewed her into the stream. The accident might have been 
a very serious one, and it was fortunate that the piling 
gave way when it did, for had she been further out of the 
water she might have been badly injured. 
The following morning she was towed to South Brook- 
lyn, where the water was pumped out, and after an ex- 
amination was made it was seen that she was not badly 
hurt. Two plates were found to be badly dented, but 
the frames were uninjured, and no other damage was 
sustained. The dents were hammered ont of the plates, 
and a few rivets that had become loosened were tightened 
up. Constilution's bottom was found to be very foul, and 
the crew were put to work rubbing it down. l\Ir. N. G. 
Herreshoff was sent for as soon as Mr. Belmont, Consti- 
tution's owner, heard of the accident, and he made a thor- 
ougli examination of her when she was in the dry dock, 
bur found Ihe hull intact, with the exception of the two 
dented plates.

GLEN COVE, LONG ISLAND SOUND. 
Thursday, May 21. 
Reliance and Columbia met in the first of a series 
of five races on Thursday, May 21, and the new boat 
won by 14 min. and 43 sec. The race was an unsatis- 
factory one in many ways, but Reliance demonstrated 
her ability to beat Columbia with ease in smooth water 
and a light breeze. , •, 1 . 
There was a large fleet of steam and sail yachts on 
hand to see tlie race, and several hundred New York 
Y C. men with their guests were on board the steamer 
Sirius. In the morning there was but little wind, and 
at noon it was practically a calm. , , _^ „ 
'i'be' Regatta Connnittce. composed of Messrs. 
Nicholson Kane. Newbury D. Lawton and Edward H. 
Wales, were on board Privateer, Mr. R. A. C. Suiith s 
steam yacht, which was used as the committee boat. 
'Vs there was no wind at twelve o'clock the committee 
postponed the race until 1:25. About tliis time a light 
S W breeze worked off the Long Island shore, and the 
proparatorv signal was given at 1:40. A signal on the 
committee' boat announced that course 3 would be 
sailed The boats started from a buoy off Matmicock 
Point E by N. 14 N., eleven miles to and around a 
mark "off Eaton's Point, then W. N. W. three mi^le.s to 
and around a mark ofif Green's Ledge Light, and then 
S. W. by W. W. back to the starting line, iotal 
distance twenty-five miles tvt r- xr iff 
Besides Mr. C. O. Isehn and Mr. N. G. Herreshoff 
there were several other well-known amateurs on board 
Reliance Mr. E. D. Morgan also had several of his 
friends with him on Columbia. At this time tiie wind 
was very light from the S. W. by S., making the first 
leg of the course a reach. Both boats had their balloon 
jib topsails set in stops. , „ 
Reliance was some distance from the line when, the 
starting signal was heard. Her handicap was up at 
J -57 t)ut shp 4i4 not cross until on? m\m\P later. The 
[May 30, 1903- 
balloon jib topsail and balloon staysail were broken 
out just after the gun. Reliance was ahead and to 
windward of Columbia, which boat crossed at i:59:i.Ot 
with Mr. Morgan at the wheel. Columbia's balloon ]ib 
topsail was broken out just before she crossed. The 
headsails on both boats were lowered and set in stops 
again. The tide was now running flood, and the boats 
made but slow progress against it. Reliance drew away 
from Columbia at once, and the latter boat was unfortu- 
nate enough to run out of what little wind there was, 
and before she got out of the flat spot Reliance had a 
big lead. Headsails were experimented with on both 
boats, first reaching jib topsails would be set in place 
of the balloon jib topsails, and then the ballooners 
would be set again. 
About half past four, when Reliance was off Lloyd s 
Neck, she got a better breeze. The breeze was all 
overhead, for there was not a ripple on the water. 
Columbia soon ca-Jght the new wind, and both boats 
moved along at a smart clip. Reliance gybed around 
the first mark off Eaton's Neck at 4:56:10, and stood 
off for the second mark with the wind, which was 
steadily increasing, over the port quarter. Columbia 
was timed at the first mark at 5:05:00, which showed 
a gain of 7m. 40s. , r , • 
Both boats were heeled well down by the freshening 
breeze, and they traveled very fast. Reliance covered 
this leg of the course, a distance of three miles, in 13m. 
40s. Columbia was being slowly left astern by Re- 
liance, although she was doing some pretty sailing. 
For some reason or other Columbia did not break out 
her jib on this reach, and lost more ground by not 
doing so. Reliance rounded the second mark at 5:09:50 
and Columbia at 5:20:10, which showed another gain of 
im. 30s. for Reliance. , , ^ 1 1 • .. 
Sheets were flattened down, and the boats could just 
lay their course back to the finish line. The breeze 
was now quite fresh, and both boats were heeled well 
over. Reliance threw a lot of spray off to leeward as 
she moved through the water, but her wake was re- 
markably clean, and she continued to get away from 
Columbia. The tack on Columbia's jib topsail earned 
away and it was some time before another sail could 
be set. Luck seemed to be against Columbia, for the 
wind lightened up and headed her as soon as Reliance 
crossed, and she tacked just on the finish line. The 
times at the finish follow: 
Reliance 6 14 36 Columbia 6 29 19 
Reliance gained 4m. 23s. on this leg. 
Saturday, May 23. 
The second of the series races between the 90-footers 
was held on Saturday, May 23. The boats were unable 
to finish within the time limit, owing to the light breeze. 
More interest was centered in this race, as all three 
boats were on hand. The damage that Constitution 
sustained while on the railway at City Island had been 
repaired, and she was apparently in splendid racing 
trim. . , . J 
There was a good N. E. breeze m the morning, and 
there was every indication of a good race, but as the 
day wore on this breeze petered out. and very much 
the same conditions prevailed as in Thursdays race. 
■ The Regatta Committee were again on the steam 
yacht Privateer, and at i :20 the preliminary signal was 
sounded. At this time there was a little northerly 
breeze blowing. The signal on the committee boat 
indicated that the boats would cover exactly tlie same 
course that they did on Thursday. At 1:3s the prepara- 
tory signal was given. , j ^i 
The first leg of the course was a reach, and there 
seemed to be a diversity of opinion on board the three 
boats as to what headsails should be earned. Reliance 
crossed at 1:50:20, with a reaching jib topsail set, with 
Constitution on her lee quarter with her staysail, jib 
ana big jib topsail set. Columbia was in the weather 
position, but some distance behind with her balloon 
iib topsail set, the handicap gun was fired before she 
was over the line, and she crossed at 1:52:24. Reliance 
began to pull away at once, and Constitution luffed out 
on her weather. Jibs and staysails were lowered on 
Reliance and Columbia, in order to give their big 
lio-ht sails every chance. Some few minutes after the 
start the number 2 jib topsail on Constitution was low- 
ered, and her balloon jib topsail was set in its place. 
Columbia was headed out into the Sound, and she 
passed astern of Constitution. , . a 
When off Oyster Bay Reliance caught a slant and 
drew away still more from her competitors, but before 
long Columbia had the breeze also, and she began to 
close up on the new boat perceptibly. Constitution also 
picked up a little, and a balloon staysail was broken 
out on Reliance. Even with this sail set Columbia kept 
gaining, and a similar staysail was set on the old de- 
fender. Columbia and Constitution were well out in 
the Sound, and Reliance was almost becalmed. Her 
spinnaker was set and allowed to run well forward. 
Those on Reliance finding the spinnaker was doing no 
good, took the sail in. 
A big towboat bound west with a long string ot 
barges astern, came along at this point, and had it 
not been for the courtesy and thoughtfulness of the 
captain the tow might have seriously interfered with 
the boats. 'l"he captain of the towboat, whose name 
was Honeybrook, kept out of his course in order, and 
by so doing prevented any annoyance whatever. 
When off Eaton's Point Reliance was over a quarter 
of a mile ahead of Columbia, and some distance to 
windward. Constitution was astern and to windward 
of Columbia. As Columbia was still gaining on Re- 
liance this boat again set her spinnaker. She carried 
this sail till she was well up to the mark. Reliance 
gybed over just before she rounded the mark, and Con- 
stitution, which was a long distance behind, made the 
fatal mistake of gybing at the same time. The times 
at the mark follow 
Reliance 5 2.3 50 Constitution 5 29 25 
Columbia 5 25 53 
Columbia had gained 2S. on this leg on Reliance 
and 5m. 28s. on Constitution. 
The boats got more wind on the second leg of the 
course. Reaching staysails were set, and the three 
boats made good time. Reliance reached away from 
the other t\vo boats very fast. Reliance's big jib top-
