THE CLOSESf CUP RACES EVER SAILED
The Excursion Boats Crowd Around
Columbia With Loud Huzzas, Then
Bun Alongside Shamrock and
Erin to Cheer the
Vanquished.
(liy the Associated Press.)
New York, Oct. 4. —With victory ilags
flying from her towering mastheads
and the ends of her spreaders in honor
of her concluding triumph in the Cup
Paces of 1901, the gallant sloop Colum- i
bia returned to her anchorage tonight
under the escort of the entire excursion
fleet. She today completed her defence
of the honored trophy in another stir
ring race with the Shamrock 11., over
a leeward and windward race of thirty
miles, crossing the finish line two sec
onds behind her antagonist but winning
on the time allowance conceded by Lip
ton’s boat, by 41 seconds.
For the second time she has success
fully foiled the attempt of the Irish
Knight to wrest from our possession
the cup that means the yachting su
premacy the world. And plucky Sir
Thomas Lipton, standing on the bridge
of the Erin led his guests in three
hearty hurrahs for the successful de
fender.
“She is the better boat,” he
said, "and she deserves to be cheered.”
CLOSEST RACES EVER SAILED.
The series of races just closed will
always be memorable as the closest ever
sailed for the cup and Sir Thomas al
though defeated will go home with the
satisfaction of knowing that his golden
yacht is the ablest foreign boat that
ever crossed the western ocean.
During both series of races not an un
toward incident hgs occurred and Sir
Thomas will return to England by far
the most popular of all the foreigners
who have challenged for the America's
trophy.
The racers were sent away before the
wind, each carrying a penalty for cross
ing the line after the handicap gun. No
official record is kept of the time after
that gun but the experts w r ith
stop watches estimated Columbia’s
handicap at fifteen seconds and Sham
rock’s at 30 seconds.
The contest of the yachts fleeing be
fore the wind was picturesque but not
exciting. Their crews were gathered aft
to keep the heads of the boats up and
thereafter until the outer mark was
reached it was merely a question of
holding on to all the canvas and letting
the wind do the rest.
THE SHAMROCK’S VICTORY.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
Columbia beat the Shamrock before the
wind last Saturday the Challenger to
day gained slowly, but steadily all the
way out and rounded forty-nine seconds
before the Defender, having actually
gained one minute and four seconds.
Immediately after the yachts turned
their noses into the wind for the beat
home the breeze moderated and turned
fluky. The skippers split tacks, each
searching for wind, with the result that
first one would get a lift and then the
other.
At one time Columbia seemed a mile
ahead when a sudden cant of the wind
allowed the Shamrock to point nearer
the mark, and a mile from home the
Challenger appeared to be leading by
fully half a mile.
The talent began to feel nervous, but
as the yachts approached the lfinish, the
Yankee skipper by some miraculous
legerdemain shoved his boat into the
light air like a phantom ship and one
hundred yards from home the two rac
ers were almost on even terms.
CROSSING RAIL TO RAIL.
It was a pretty sight and one seldom
witnessed when they crossed rail to
rail, the w'hite yacht’s bowsprit just lap
ping the golden boat’s mast. The usual
pandemonium that attends the final
Yankee victory in a cup contest follow
ed. Whistles, sirens, bells bands, and
cheers united in a grand chorus of jubi
lation and J. P. Morgan’s steam yacht
Corsair added to the terrific din by fir
's ing a national salute of twenty-one
guns.
After the Columbia had hauled down
her sails and set her victory flag the
excursion boats crowded alongside to
cheer the Yankee sailors and the win
ning skipper.
Nor did they forget either Lipton or
his gallant craft. In turn the crowded
steamers ran alongside the Shamrock
and Erin and the vanquished received
almost a„s much honor as the victor.
And thus with felicitations all around
the twelfth series of races for the old
- —i
brought over fifty years ago ended with
the best of feeling.
The Official Story
At the preparatory signal at 10:45
both boats w’ere far up to the windward
and came down toward the light-ship
and just before the warning gun, again
headed up into the wind simultaneous
ly and worked back to their former
positions. Both were on the port tack
and close hauled, with the Columbia on
the weather quarter of the Challenger.
The American boat was first to come
about after the warning gun at 10:55.
Shamrock immediately followed and
planted herself directly astern of the
Defender, at the same time breaking
out her tremendous balloon jib, and let
ting fall to starboa/d her spinnaker pole.
It was Sycamore’s game to cross last
if possible. This he was able to do,
but while he had the pride of position
in a leeward start he found himself
thirty .seconds behind the handicap gun.
Barr also handicapped his boat in
crossing but not so much as his rival,
for it is estimated that he was only
fifteen seconds behind the handicap gun.
Both boats being handicapped the offi
cial time of start was posted on the
bulletin board of the committee boat as
follows:
Shamrock, 11:02:00.
Columbia, 11:02:00.
SHAMROCK LED TO OUTER MARK.
Hardly had the boats got over the
line before it was .seen that the Sham
rock was gaining on her rival. Slowly
she crept up and at 11:17 was on even
terms. Half a minute later she shoved
her bowsprit ahead and from there on
led the Columbia to the outer mark.
The official time of turning the outer
mark, was as follows:
Shamrock 12:48:40.
Columbia 12:49:35.
Thus on the run straight down the wind
the Challenger had gained according
official time 49 seconds, but in reality
she had done better than this, for to this
49 seconds are to added the 15 sec
onds which the Columbia led her over
the starting line.
A DRAMATIC EVENT.
At 1:12 a dramatic event occurred. In
throe minutes the Columbia passed clean
through the lee of the Challenger, went
on the port tack and easily crossed her
bows.
The Shamrock at once tacked under the
Defender’s lee and then developed a sit
uation that could not be explained except
by change of wind.
While the Columbia kept on pointing
very high, the Shamrock headed far of;
to leeward and for several minutes did
not point anywhere near as high as the
Columbia, and rapidly fell off.
The wind had now dropped materially
and it soon became fluky as well, first
one boat getting it in puffs and then
the other. At times there was a great
difference in their pointing, the Columbia
now heading w : ell up, while the Shamrock
fell off, and then again the reverse was
true.
At 1:30 the boats were standing along
on port tack but. wide apart. The Colum
bia was well to windward, the distance
estimated by some of the yatching sharps
at nearly a mile, but at the same time
she was slightly astern.
SHAMROCK GAINS ON TACKS.
A series of short tacks was then be
gun by both racers and in these the
Shamrock showed evident gains, being
aided by friendly slants of wind. Foi
half an hotlr these short tacks continued
and when <}t two o’clock the boats came
together near enough to afford compari
son it was seen that the Challenger had
made up a large part if not all her loss.
The wind, meanwhile, had become more
and more fluky and was blowing not over
seven or eight knots.
A few minutes after 2 o'clock Barr put
the Columbia about on the starboard
tack and headed for the Jersey shore.
A minute later the Shamrock followed
and it. was then seen beyond possibility
/of doubt that the American boa 1 * was
not only, to windward, but was slightly
ahead.
SHAMROCK TAKES THE LEAD.
Again the racers went into short tacks
and again the Challenger came out with
gains to her credit, so that at 2:20 she
took the lead. The wind was now fast
dropping. It became anybody's race and
the excitement increased. A few more
short tacks and the British boat added
to her lead by favoring puffs.
Seamanshin of the highest order was
now required and in this respect it was
hats off to doughty Charlie Barr. He
nursed his craft along in the light airs in
a wonderful manner and at every moment
had a sharp eye out for any change of
wind.
When at 3:17 the Shamrock put about
to meet the Columbia it was evident
that she still had a slight lead for she
forced the Defender about. Having done
this the Shamrock again went about on
the port tack with the evident hope of
fetching the line, now about a mile away.
The Columbia keot on a couple of min
uates longer and then followed her rival.
She was in the windward berth, but well
astern and the lead of the Englishman
was unmistakable. Both boats were be
ing sailed for all there was in them
and they went through the water at a
/
RALEIGH. NORTH CAROLINA. SATURDAY MORNING. OCTOBER a. 1901.
speed remarkable for the wind that was
then blowing.
THE COLUMBIA GAINING.
It was apparent that a nerve straining
finish was at hand. Charlie Barr kept
up his good work and took advantage
of every change of air that could possi
bly help him. The Columbia was percep
tibly gaining.
At 3:30 the Shamrock went about on the
starboard and headed for the middle of
the line. The Columbia tacked under her
lee, Barr’s game beingAo back winds in
the head sails of the Challenger. On tHry
came the American boat gaining slightly.
BUT TWO SECONDS APART.
The Shamrock was first to luff across,
but hardly was this perceptible before
Barr did the same thing with the Co
lumbia and they went two sec
onds apart, but the two seconds were to
the credit of the Shamrock in actual time,
though she was a beaten boat according
to the rules of the game.

SUMMON SAMPSON,
CISIMNEFI
The Dear Schley Letter
Should be Explained,
WHAT DID SAMPSON MEAN
Was it Cienfuegos or Santiago He
Wanted Blockaded?
1
SCHLEY THOUGHT IS WAS CIENFUFGOS
Lemly Says Rayper May Summon Whom He
Pleases. Rayner Says He’ll Insist Unless
Schley’s Understanding of Mes
sage is Conceded.
(By the Associated Press.)
Washington, Oct. 4.—ln the Schley
Naval Court of Inquiry Mr. Rayner,
chief of counsel for Admiral Schley,
asked Judge Advocate Lemly to sum
mon Admiral Sampson as a witness in
the case. The request grew’ out of a
difference in the construction of a sen
tence in Admiral Sampson's letter to
Commodore Schley, written from Key
West May 20 while Commodore Schley
with the Flying Squadron lay off Cien
fuegos. This is known as the “Dear
Schley letter,” and in it was printed in
the Navy Department document sup
plied to the Senate the Admiral said,
after expressing his opinion that not
withstanding the report that the Span
ish squadrou was in Santiago, it were
better to continue to blockade Cienfue
gos and Havana, “we shall continue to
hold Havana and Santiago until we re
ceive more positive information.”
During the examination of Command
er Raymond P. Rogers, this dispatch
was under consideration whdn Mr. Ray-
H'\r expressed the opinion that the word
Santiago had been inadvertently used
by the commander-in-chief, assuming
that he meant to use the word Cien
fuegos, as corresponding with the con
text. As the document was printed
there was a parenthetical note to which
Admiral Schley’s initials were attached
saying that evidently the wrong city
had been mentioned. Mr. Rayner asked
Judge Advocate Lemly to make this
concession, but the latter declined to
do so, saying that he would produce the
original of Admiral Sampson’s dispatch
to prove that he had said Santiago.
Then Mr. Rayner said: "1 cannot take
that word Santiago to mean anything
but Cienfuegos. It is an imputation up
on Commodore Schley and I cannot per
mit it to rest without summoning the
author of the dispatch."
To this Captain Lemly responded: “I
have told you once before you can surn
.mon any qne you please.”
‘ Then,” retorted Mr. Rayner, “sum
mon Admiral Sampson.
( This occurred only a short time before
the adjournment of the court for the day
and was the subject of more or less
conversation of an animated character
after the day’s work was concluded. Mr.
Rayner would only say that he would
insist upon the Admiral being summon
ed unless the correction was conceded,
v
DYSON ON THE COAL SUPPLY.
Lieutenant Dyson w'hen court opened
gave information as to how long the
supply of coal on hand May 2fi would
have held out under forced draft. It
showed that on May 26 the Brooklyn's
supply of coal was 952 tons, the lowa’s
784. the Texas’ 40.8 tons and the Mar
blehead’s 122 tons.
He said that on May 24 the Brook
lyn had coal enough aboard to have re
mained on blockade duty 'off Sentiago
for twenty-five days and then to have
returned to Key West: the Massachu
setts enough to remain 17 days and then
go ta Key West; the low r a enough for
eleven days; the Texas .seven days aud
the Marblehead one day.
Mr. Rayner brought out information
concerning the time the coal on each of
the vessels would have lasted on forced
draft, in chasing the enemy’s vessels,
taking the amount of coal on each on
May 26th and leaving sufficient coal to
return to Key West. Mr. Rayner read
the infromation from Mr. Rayson’s tab
ulated statement shotting that the lowa
would have consumed 243 tons of coal
a day, the Massachusetts 180 tons, the
Texas 160 tons and the Marblehead 77
tons. That estimate would, he said,
give the Brooklyn 2.3 days chase, the
lowa a chase of 1.2 days, the Massa
chusetts 1.8 days, the Texas three
fourths of a day, the Marblehead two
tenths of a day.
TESTIMONY OF ROGERS.
Commander Rogers testified that be
fore leaving Key West on May 20 he
had had a conference with Sampson. He
was told by Admiral Sampson that he
had received information from the de
partment a! Washington that the Span
ish fleet, under Cervera, was probably
in the harbor at Santiago. He had,
however, not been informed of any se
cret code of communication with the
Cuban insurgents near Cienfuegos. Com
mander Rogers thought the lowa could
have coaled May 26.
Captain Rogers related two or three
instances in which the ships of the Fly
ing Squadron were cleared for action
upon signal from the flagship Brook
lyn before May 31 when vessels were
discerned in the distance. In each case
t he vessels proved to be American'ships.
Each time the signals were to clear for
action and make speed of 12 knots an
hour. He also told of the bombardment
or reconnoissance of the Cristobal Co
lon.
Describing Cofnmodore Schley’s
blockade of the harbor at Santiago
Captain Rogers said that the fleet main
tained a position of seven or eight miles
out with the Marblehead and the Vixen
inside the line.
SHELLS FROM THE BROOKLYN.
The afternoon session of the court
began with Captain Rogers still on the
stand. He stated in reply to questions
that he w’as the senior member of the
Naval Board of Survey appointed by
Admiral Sampson to examine the
wrecked Spanish vessels.
The purpose of this line of examina
tion was to bring out the witness’
knowledge concerning the effect of the
Brooklyn’s gunery in the battle off San
tiago July 3. Captain Rogers stated
that the Brooklyn was the only vessel
that fired five inch shells, and Mr. Ray
nor said that a careful computation bas
ed upon the rejKirt of the Board of Sur
vey show’ed that 12 five-inch shells had
been found on the four Spanish vessels.
Mr. Rayner presented a statement
show ing the number of shells found on
the vessels of the Spanish fleet and the
witness was asked to state the percent
age of five inch shells, assuming the
statement to be correct. Capt. Rogers
replied that the total number of hits was
thirty-five and that therefore the five
inch shell hits constituted 34 per cent
of all the hits. Mr. Raynor said that
She statement had been prepared by
Admiral Schley.
THE DEAR SCHLEY LETTER.
Mr. Rayner /read the “Dear gchley”
letter including the following extract:
"If later it should develop that these
, vessels are at Santiago, we could then
assemble off that port the ships best
suited for the purpose and completely
i. blockade it. Until we then, receive
j more positive information we shall con
; tinue to hold Havana and Santiago.”
Mr. Rayner remarked that he sup
posed it would be conceded that the
word “Santiago” as given above was a
mistake and that it should be “Cien
fuegos.”
Captain Lemly replied that he would
make no such concession and a tilt fol
-1 lowed between counsel concerning the
accuracy of Government publications.
It closed with an understanding that
the original document should be sup
plied tomorrow.
RODGERS IS QUESTIONED.
The court asked a number of questions
of Commander Rodgers among others be
ing one as to whether the Brooklyn and
| the Texas had been in danger of a colli
j sion on July 3.
I The witness replied that if there had
been any such danger he had not seen
the two ships at the time. He had seers
the two vessels early in the engagement,
but they were then about half a mile
apart. Later he was called below, and
if there had been such danger it was
| at that time.
At the conclusion of Commander Rod-
I gers’ testimony the question as to wheth
er the word in the “Dear Schley’’ letter
should be Santiago or Cienfuegos again
came up on a statement by Captain Lem
ly who said he would continue to hold
to the Santiago version. Then occurred
the rolloquy narrated above. Mr. Rayner
saying he would summon Sampson.
HODGSON’S STORY OF BATTLE.
Lieutenant Commander Alston C. Hodg
son, navigator of the Brooklyn, then told
the story of the battle of Santiago as
seen from the bridge of that vesseL (
“1 heard the executive officer, Lieuten
ant Commander Mason, sing out ‘Clear
ship for action,’ and the crew immediately
dispersed to quarters, 1 having sounded
the general alarm previously The com
modore shortly appeared on the bridge.
YVe were at that time headed to the
westward or northwest. I told him that
there was nothing doing and he said ‘Go
ahead.’ 1 rang six bells and asked if wo
bad not better hold her head steady to
see what course the Spaniards proposed
to pursue. I do not remember his reply
exactly to that, because immediately
afterwards 1 told him they were evidently
making for us, and he said ‘Go for them’
and I rang four bells and put helm aport.
“Captain Cook appeared upon the
bridge at this time, and I told him that
everything was connected up at the con
ning tower and that we were already
going ahead and in fact we were going
ahead. The Commodore took his posi
tion on a platform ho had built around
the conning tower where he could be in
easy communication with the command
ing officer inside, and I remained on the
bridge.
“The executive officer had given previ
ously the order to man the starboard
batteries. I sang out to him we were
going into action with port helm, and he
shifted over to the port battery. We
were then standing for the enemy, and
as soon as the guns were brought to bear
Lieutenant Simpson fired a little off the
port bow the first gun from the forward
eight inch turret From that time on we
went considerably in toward them.
AN EXCITING MOMENT.
“I then went down to where the Com
modore was standing to get into the con
ning tower, when I heard him sing out,
‘Lookout, Cook, they are going to ram
you.’
“Captain Cook said he would look
after that, and starboarded the helm a
little to parallel the course of the lead
ing vessel, the Maria Teresa, which had
made a broad sheer to port. He had
hardly made that sheer, however, to port
before he fell off again for the reason
apparently that a shot was fired,
from the Brooklyn’s eight inch gun.
The Teresa got abaft out port beam and
helm was ported on the Brooklyn imme
diately after that. We were swinging with
port helm. I heard the Commodore sing
out ‘Hard aport’ or words to that effect
and Captain Cook sang out ‘Helm is
aport.’ 1 saw at that time the crucial
moment had arrived in making the turn,
ard I suggested to the Commodore that
that turn would rqn us into the Texas
or very close to her.”

“While speculative markets, except

to this. Bank clearings are heavily in

of scarcity of cars from different sec

due mainly to a few large financial sus
pensions before reported, but current
failures and liabilities are not as heavy
as earlier in the year.
“The feature of the week in cotton
was the publication on Thursday of the

lowest condition, with one exception, in

all the unfavorable features, such as
small foreign buying and the threaten

in a quarter cent advance in futures and
1-8 cent in spots.
