Delayed by an Accident.

GLASGOW, Aug. 3.-The cup chal-
lenger Shamrock sailed from Fairlie
this morning, accompanied by Sir
Thomas Lipten's steam yacht Erin,

tators, they were greeted with enthusi-
astic cheers intermingled with the
singing of Rule, Britannia"
The craft in the vicinity of Fairlie
displayed flags in honor of the de-
parting challenger. The sound of the
whistles and sirens blowing in honor
of the Shamrock was deafening
AS already cabled, the Shamrock

not intend to push the yacht to any
extent. She is insured at Lloyd's for

taken to New York by the Anchor

Unless something very material bobs

McCune and Law. He was sure Law
had turned directly south after Nc
Cune had left him. AIR. Laws own
testimony on this point was that he
stood perfectly still until Fryer Joined
him. His memory failed him as TO
Laws story about the alleged bribery
propositions. He was sure of but one
thing-that he had heard that Law was
at McCune'S headquarters until late
Tuesday evening; that there was
crowd there, but they all went away
until McCune and Law were left alone,
and then Law was asked to sell his
vote.
Police Sergeant John Burbidge closed
up the police end OF the story. He
was sure he saw from the window that
Mr. McCune had his right hand in shls

Mr. Law speak to Fryer on the oppo-

Representative Law was called for,
but ergeant-at-Arms King was un-
able by the most vigilant search, to
find him. and he finally announced that
Law had gone home sick.

very little more testimony TO intro
