The skippers. under officers and crew
have been definitely seiected for the
Shamrock. and all told they viii make

appointments are one boatswain. TWO

SIX ordinary seAmen. two stewards ana
two cooks.
A sizing.up of the crew shows few

ing Irish or an Irfshman on board OF her.
and the name Shamrock. In view OF all
these facts. in no way indicates what she
was intended TO be. an Irish boat and
no one here for one moment claims II.
Al this cabling neither Sir Thomas LIP
ton nor the Royal Ulster Yacht Club peos
pie know definitely the exact day OF the
launching Of the Shamrock. though from
good authority II 10 stated 1t. will be On
June or s. just two days ahead OF the
Columhta.
The launching invitations have not been
issued yet. Secrecy 10 connection with
the Shamrock - even keener than before.
~ the Thorneycrofts want to drop her
into the Thames without the knowledge
Of any one. and they have had two piers
built With fence ON each side so that no
broadside snapshots can be had. The
Shamrock viii be slid down on the ways
with canvas covering. sly enough per
Torrance.
There ID no question that confidence II

that the Shamrock will make the best
bid for the cup Of any challenger. OF
iate Sir Thomas Upton shows . more con.
fident feeling than he had in the early
stages Of the. controversy. His friends
encourage him In the belief that he has
an even chance to win. Whatever oppo~
sition he had met In certain heightened
yachting quarters anent his building. for
the cup has for the most part faded out
and his pluck In building the Shamrock
Ii now commended.

CHICAGO. May B-The Farmers' Re
view tomorrow win publish . review OF
winter wheat prospects,, compiled from in-
formation received from over so corre-
spondents in Kansas. Nebraska, Missouri,
Iowa. Illinois. Wisconsin. Indiana, Michi-
gan, Ohio and Kentucky. The reports
show winter wheat TO be in rather poor
condition. Especially is this true OF the
western edge OF the winter wheat belt.
In Iowa, Nebraska. Kansas Illinois and
Wisconsin where the snow covering dur
ing last winter was very deficient. much Of
the rather limited area Of winter wheat
sown was killed. The fields that survived
the winter have, however. shown up well.
In the more Southern states. including
Missouri, Kentucky and Ohio. the pros
poets are more encouraging.
In Missouri the condition Is described as
good In the central and southern portions
of the state. but poor In the north.
Ohio makes the most favorable showing
Of an-three fifths Of the correspondents
reporting the condition as good to very
good" and q majority OF the rest fair

HER ca TION.

From The Boston Journal
Harrington had spent three weeks In NewYork
on business. When ne returned he drove directly
to his house and rang the dOorbel. a new servant
girl answered the ring
is Mrs Harrington in?" he asked.
"No. sir" answered the girl.
"Wcil. | guess I'll wait for her" said the master
Of the house and he put his foot over the threshold
and into the hallway.
Excuse me. sir" said the girl but no ones at
home. | can't allow strangers to wait in the
house"
Harrington took in the humOr of the situation.
"All right" he answered with a smile. Just tell
Mrs. Harrington that a relative called and he
went away.
half hour after his departure his wife returned
HAS any one calod?' she asked of the girl.
'Ncs, ma'am. gentleman
Did ne leave his card"
NO ma'am: he said he was relative but he
looked more like an agent for cleaning powder than
a relative. lie wanted to wait inside, but dldn I
like his looks l didn't let him in"
quite right" remarked Mrs. Harrington. 1T Is
lust as well 20 be careful. Besides have no male
relative who is likely to call at this time Of day.
Mrs Harrington barely had her wraps off before
her husband. who had whled away his time at
the barbers. put in his appearance again
