A Report That tho Shamrock injured One
of Her Plates.
Special cabn Dypotehss to The Sun.

Special Cable DtspdteheJ to TIE Sun.
LONDON. July lit is reported here that
the Shamrock has been drydocked at South
hampton. The report leads to the belief that
one OF her plates has beon injured.
Sir Thomas Upton. tho owner OF tho Sham
rock. denies the report that the yacht is leaking
as the result Of her stranding near Southamp-
ton two weeks ago The report probably origt-
mated from the fact that the Shamrock has
been placed in dock. but Sir Thomas says that
this has been done In order to have her hull
polished preparatory to her races with the
Britannia.
SOUTHAMPTON. July 1.-THE Shamrock will
have trial race with the Britannia on next
Tuesday over n triangular course Off the
Needles. The shamrock's crew signed articles
to-day.
