Second Race. Two days later weather conditions were more favorable, with a fair southwest wind. The Committee boat's little flags announced the course: triangular, 10 mi. to windward, then 10 mi. southeast-by-east, then back to the starting point. Skipper Vanderbilt crossed the line neatly as the starting gun boomed, stepped out in front and to windward of Shamrock V, from which a ton of lead ballast had been removed.

During austere, bushy-browed President Campbell's seven years in office many of his hours have been whiled away on top of Mt. Hamilton, 30 mi. southeast of Berkeley, where, as director of Lick Observatory, he spends his time staring into the sky watching stellar orbits, comets, nebulae. For the past 30 years his fame as an authority on solar eclipses has caused him to be selected to lead expeditions into India, Russia, Spain, Australia.
