grown calmer.
At 9 o'clock both yachts raised their
mainline and were waiting the arrival
of the Navigator with the committee
. The wind was blowing stead-
‘ll! at ten miles at the Hook. but with
, indications that it was not so fresh
outside or near the lightslrip.
At 9:08 both yachts took a tow line
from their tenders and started out of
the Hook. so as to be down at the
vstart in time.
Bellanch took a line fr‘bm her ten-
der, evidently believing that there
would be a race. Shamrock immedi-
ately followed, and at 9:10 both left
the horseshoe and rounded out to sea.
With a broken tumble of sea outside
the Hook and a fresh breeze Shamrock
, had every promise of Just the weather

continuous “bone“ of whitefoam.
The Navigator reached the Hook at
9:40, but finding the yachts gone, or—
dered the Sculiy to her position. and
started for the Iightship herself, mak-
ing it evident that there will be a
race unless the sea is too rough. The
wind at 9:45 was blowing about eleven
miles, fresh from the northeast. As
she went out past Sandy Hook the
Navigator signalled to Sir Thomas that
the conditions favored a start of the
race, and that the committee would
see him at the start, The Erin had no
special guests from New York, this
morning. Sir Thomas having notified
them there would probably be no race
today. The Erin left the Hook at 10
o'clock for the starting point.
When the committee boat reached
the lightsbip it was found that to start
a race from that point fifteen miles to
leeward or windward would be inmos-
sible, and a signal was hoisted post—
poning the start until a line. coirid be
established sufficiently south of the
lightship to send the yachts off to
windward. As soon as the signal was
hoisted the Navigator began to steam
south from the lightship.
The committee boat came to anchor
about four miles south by west of the.
lightshlp. With the assistance of
another tag the imaginary starting litre
was then formed and the course was
signalled as east north east. This
will bring the turn southeast of Long
Beach about six miles off shore.
The wind had dropped to about
seven knots and there seemed to be
prospects of a long slow race. on the
way down to the new starting point
Shamrock exchanged her No. 2 topsall
for a larger one. The sea was more
calm. At 11:30 the committee fired
the preliminary grin which made the
start at 11:45 and gave the yachts time
within which to finish the race. When
the. preparatory signal was fired at
11:30 the wind was still dropping off
and had a strength of five or six allies
an hour.
The contest for position at the start
began before the warning signal was
fired. Today Shamrock seemed to have
a little more life rind Captain Wriuge
was able to get her out from beneath
the great bianketing sails of Reliance.
When the warning gun was fired at
11:40 the challenger was holding back
again along the line with Reliance, a
short distance asterri.
Shamrock passed the stern of the
committee bout, heading away from the
line two minutes before the starting
grin was fired, with Heliunca about 200
yards astern. At 1124;] both boats were
holding along on the starboard tack
with Reliance a trifle in the lead. The
starting grin was fired at 11:45. lioth
boats went across the line on the star-
board tnck, Reliance a little to wind-
ward. The wind was blowing about
seven miles an hour. Each carried the
same sails with large ciubiopsniis and
intermediate baby-jib-top-Bails.
immediately after erasing the litre
Shamrock went to Port, Reliance fol-
lowing thirty seconds later. For five
minutes they sailed on this tack. Re»
liance was misting magnificently to
windward, but smashing the seas bad—
ly. Shamrock. apparently was unable
to hold so high a wind biit she sailed
through rather more water and there
was therefore little change in their po-
sitions when they threw back again
to starboard, Reliance being first to
break tack and Shamrock following
promptly.
During first halfvhour after the start
the yachts made three tacks but the
wind being light at 12:16 they had
scarcely covered more than two miles
of, the course. Reliance, as usual,
seemed to gain steadily and at 12:20
was apparently leading by an eighth
of a mile.
The wind at 12:20 was blowingnot
more than five or six miles an hour.
As the yachts beat slowly to windward
the heavy ground swell lifted the bows
of the racers so that their fins could
be seen. The sea seemed to suit Sham-
rock better and she made easier work
of the long swell, though Reliance was
pointing higher. The yachts were
making slow time of it and were being
greatly retarded by the flood tide. At
1 o'clock hope that the yachts would
finish within the time limit began to
disappear and it was again to be a
race against time.

ON TO BEIRUT.
Navy Department CannOt Now Roach
ths‘Vossais of European Squadron.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.-—-Chekib
ilcy, the Turkish Minister, had a long
interview with secreiary 'llay. He
refused to discuss the interview. Af~
lt‘i' the interview Secretary iiay visited
ilie Navy Department. if the Turkish
Minister requested that the European
squadron be kept away from “it‘lill-ill
waters his request cannot be ground,
‘vcn should this government desire to
accede to it, as the Navy ileparlment
states that it will be impossible to com
ninnicale with either the Brooklyn or
San Francisco until they arrive at
Beirut.
Chekib Bey assured Secretary Hey
that the Turkish government had done
nothing wrong and will ever endeavor
.0 protect American ciilsens residing
in Turkey. lie also discussed the cori-
ditions of the insurrection in Turkey
and said that the Turkish government
was not responsible for airy disasters
lint had occurred.
Secretary Hay's call upon Acting
Secretary Darling was for the purposi
if ascertaining the whereabouts of the
.Guropean squadron and also what their
.irders are. There is no intention oi
banging any orders at present. espec
Zally as the ships cannot be reached
until they arrive at Beirut. No mes-
sage of importance has been received
from Minister Leishman today.
Late dcspatches from Minister
[leisliman give in detail the conditions
in Turkey and do not differ materially
in tone from those previously sent.
Minister laOlSllmnll does not, as re-
ported in some quarters, request the
withdrawal of the American ships front
'i‘urkisli waters. Willie reports by
way of London state that no attempt
was made upon the life of Vice~Consnl
Magelssen, oillcial advices so far re-
ceived show that such an attempt was
made, The present status was known
before the ships left Genoa. and this
government did not decide to change
the orders. it is now stated, however,
that should there. be a calm and peace-
ful condition at Ilcirut when the ships
arrive there, the matter of sending
them to another port will be consider
ed and possibly adopted.
