Southampton. July 1O.-The Prince OF Wales
cutter Britannia has been taken out OF dock and is
expected to be ready to sail tomorrow, when per-
haps she will have a trial spin with the Sham
rock. A few slight alterations are being made In
the latter's sails Her sailing master declares he
is delighted with her particularly with the way
she answers her helm, and her quickness in stays.
While it is impossible to fully gauge tho qualities
Of the cup challenger at present, her supporters
believe she will fulfil all expectations unless she
encounters heavy weather while crossing the At
lartic and strains her exceptionally light hull.
The course at present mapped out for the first
trial sail between the Britannia and the Shamrock
is triangular so to test the challenger in vary
ing conditions of wind
