RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA, WEDNESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 11, 1899, YACHTS MANTLED WITH GRAY MIST Could Not Leave Their Moor ing Buoys Even. HENCE ANOTHER FLUKE BACKED UNCLE SAM’S WEATH ER ORACLE AND LOST. THE NEXT ATTEMPT WILL BE THURSDAY There Is Wailing and Gnashing of Teeth Amon| Those Who Went Down on Expensive Trips to See Races That Never Came Off. Noav York, October 10. — Hard luck continues to pursue the big single stick ers. On the three days’ last week when the yachts made attempts to sail, light, fluky Avinds left them stranded on the course when the time limit expired. Tie day a fog bank prevented them from even leaving their mooring buoys inside the spit of land which forms Sandy Hook at the entrance to the lower bay. This Avas by far tin* most dismal fiasco of all. Oity ami bay Avere done up in grey swathing clothes of Impenetrable mists when the yachtsmen Jumpd out of bed this morning to get a look at the Aveather and there was gloom and dis may along the Avater front. The old salts sniffed, saw the mist wraiths and shook their heads. “Nothing doing on the ocean today,” was their verdict. But the AAeather bureau, with its scientific meteorological methods, had predicted fair weather wi-tli freshening winds for today, and a few clung vainly to the hope that the Aveather bureau’s prognostications would turn out true for once. Os course the jioor, misguided public Avent like lambs to the slaughter. They backed Uncle Sam’s weather ora ch* and put to sea. But not in such numbers as last w<*ek. Many of the sight-seers Avho witnessed the three Hakes at au average cost per fluke of from five to twenty-five dollars, had lost their interest, and it will take a race to restore it. Meantime the racers lay tied to their big buoys inside the horseshoe. The fog had let down its blank gray curtains all around them. The circle of vision was barely 200 yards in diameter. The yachts Avert* as completely shut off from the rest of the world as if they had been inside a big circus tent. Shortly before 12 o’clock tin* commit tee boat, Avhieh had gone outside to take a last look around, returned' and re ported no indications of a change in the Aveather, so tin* formal announcement was made that there would Iw* no race today. Alxmrd the Erin, the English men were in the dumps. A fluke or two they could stand, but such beastly luck crusluxl them. Some of them have en gaged passage on the Oceanic Avhicli will sail tomorrow ami consequently they will go home without having seen a race. Sir Thomas, disappointed as he Avas, maintained an outward show of good humor. “I thought you clever Yankees could do anything, he shouted over the rail to some of his newspaper acquaint ances, “hut you don't seem able to pro pitiate old Bo leas. When you come over oil tin* other side next year to bring hack tin* cop, I’ll guarantee you at least two races a \A'eek ami more if you want them.” | Shortly after one o’clock, after con sulting with Sir Thomas and Mr. Ise lin, it was decided to abide by the de cision of yesterday not to sail a race tomorrow. The next attempt, therefore, will be made on Thursday, and there after daily until the series is completed. Later in the day, it cleared up and though the Aveather bureau's prediction of a fresh breeze was not realized, there was enough air stirring for the Colum bia to lmist her sails and make a lb minute spin to try her iicav club topsail and see bow her newly cut mainsail fij- Both were pronounced perfect by the experts. episcopalian congress.
