SANDY HOOK, Sept. 10 1S9s.-At 11:32
the tug Lawrence started from Scotland
Lightship to log off a course about south
by west dead to leeward fifteen miles, it
being evidently the intention of Designer
Fife to give the yacht a regular trial
over the course. AT u:42 the Shamrock
swung around and setting her spinnaker
to port headed so as to pass close TO the
Lightship She passed it and started on
her course at 11:43. going dead before the
wind at tWelve-knot clip.
AT 11:47 when everything seemed favor
able for a good race against time, the
jaws of her aluminium gaf were carried
away. The end of the spar stuck out be-
yond the mast on the afterside, jamming
the throat halyards SO there was much
trouble in lowering the SAIL Captain Ho-
garth kept the yacht on her course stack
ing away the peak halyards as much as
possible, and after ten minutes he was
able to bring her into the wind.
There was danger every moment of
the gaff going through the mainsail. BY
the constant strain and swinging of the
gaff it broke about 10 feet out from the
jaws. AS the sail would not come down
men were finally sent aloft to cut the sail
clear of the hoops on the mast. The
spinnaker and headsails were taken in
smartly when the accident occurred. A
launched from the Erin towed the yachts s
head aroussd head to the, wind and at
1915 P. NJ. the great mainsail began to
come slowly down. Far aloft the club
topsail hung and men were sent to the
lower mast chad to try and overhaul the
halyards of both sails.
AS soon as Captain BrandoW OF the
Shamrock's tug James A. Lawrence saw
the accident he stopped logging of the
course and came back TO the yacht II
took about twenty minutes to reach ner
and by that time the crewshad succeeded
in getting the mainsail with its crippled
gaff on deck. They also lowered her
club mainsail.
At 12:45 the Lawrence took the Sham-
rock in tow. relieving the Erin,s launch.

SHAMROCK IN TROUBLE.
She Broke Her Gaf and
Was Taken In
Tow.
Especial to ''The Jersey City News."1

HIGHLANDS. N. J., Sept 49, 1899
The yacht Shamrock left her Moorings at
1906 this morning under mainsail, CLUB
topsaiI and jfb and sailed away on the
starboard side. In two minutes she pass
ed to port and easing sheet kept off
around the point of Sandy Hook.
The steam yacht Erin, with Sir Thomas
Upton and his party on board at 1886
lifted anchor and followed the Shamrock.
The wind was blowing eight miles an
hour from the northward and the Sham
rock made slow progress against the flood
tide.
commodore J.: Pierpont Morgan of the
steam yacht Corsair, met the Shamrock
and the Erin off the point of Sandy Hook.
Soon after sunrise this morning the
crew of the Shamrock were at work pre-
pairing the yacht for a sail stretching
spin. After washing decks the cover was
removed from the mainsail and the fore
staysail was sent up in stops. After
breakfast on the tender Plymouth, Cap
tain Hogarth and his men returned to the
Shamrock and hoisted the mainsail. Soon
afterwards the immense clubtopsail was
sent up and sheeted home and by ten
o'clock the yacht was ready to start. Her
getting away as indicated here was
pretty feature in a splendid marine pic
ture made up Of blue water, bright sum
shine and brisk breeze
The Shamrock eased sheet broad off
the starboard and stood away in the di-
rection Of Sandy Hook Iightship At His
she jibed to port and hauled up on the
wind for Scotland lightship. Two min
utes later she came up in the wind to
deaden her headway.
At 11:2O the Shamrock sailed away on
the starboard tack, with the wind abeam
and headed for Scotland lightship. The
wind at this hour had increased to six
teen miles an hour and the yachts heeling
to the influence of the breeze started Off
at a ten-knot clip
At 80 "A. NJ. three blasts from the
Erin's whistle, which was stationed to
the southwest of the Scotland Lightship
gave the Shamrock warning to prepare
for her lonesome race over the measured
course Five minutes later the whistle
sounded again and after some manoeuv-
ring by the yacht she crossed the line
between the Erin and the Scotland Light
ship heading southeast
She had broken out her staysail again
which had ben taken in, set jibtopsail and
dropped her spinnaker boom to port The
big sail was set shortly after crossing the
line, but was soon taken in again. She
had dropped the. peak of her gaff and it
was thought at first it was done to pass
the flap of the clubtopsail to leeward of
the gaff, but it looks now as if her gaff
causes her trouble. She has taken in her
headsails and remains off the Scotland
lightShip and may be taken in tow to be
brought in again.

uted was expended Mrs. Adams has
asked about a dozen of the children to
pass the day and partake of the fresh
air and other good things which will be
provided
1t has been arranged that the party,
under the direction OF Mrs Bassett,
shall go out to the farm about 10 o'clock

large evergreen grove on the farm, and
the little ones will be allowed their free
dom to roam about the farm, which is
about $50 acres in extent The place

ADVISORY COMMITTEE.
One VIII Supervise All Repairs at Grace
Church.

To secure the most satisfactory re-
suits, and prevent any dissatisfaction
with the service rendered, Grace
Church has decided to appoint an adj
visory committee to cooperate and adj
wise the new committee on church all
terations, which are to be begun soon.
This action was reached at a special
meeting Saturday, and was taken after
a full discussion
This advisory committee consists of
the board of trustees, of which ]. H.
Crowell is the chairman There was
but little opposition to the move, and 1t
is now expected that the contracts for
the execution of the new plans will be
made within two weeks.
The committee now has estimates
from several well-known contractors,
and there is a strong sentiment among
the members of the committee as well
as in the church at large in favor of
equipplng the church with an indepen-
dent electric plant, ard accordingly es-
Inmates for the cost of such improve
meat have been submitted. The church
will be wired for electricity in any
event
The vestry will have many changes
and alterations made, and the audito-
ridm will be vastly improved. All these
plans and more have met with the APP
proval of DIR. Brady and if the con-
tracts are made within two weeks it is
hoped to have the work far advanced
by the time DR.. Brady returns in the
fall, which will be Sept. 1. a

ILLEGAL FISHING DEVICE.
An Interesting Troll Captured by Warden
H. A. Mower.

A fishing troll more than 1000 feet
long and armed with $50 hooks was on
exhibition last night at the store Of the
liver Johnson Sporting Goods Compa-
ny. 1t was captured by Henry w.
Mower and a number of game wardens
from the western part of the state, at
Northampton, Sunday night. The de-
vice presents one of the most murder
Gus ever contrived for slaughtering fish
in wholesale fashion.
Mr.. Mower was ordered by State
Commissioner Bracket to Northamp-
ton to investigate complaints of illegal
fishing in the Connecticut river. The
commissioner evidently believed some
remedy for the evil was necessary, and
Mr. Mowers activity throughout Wor-
cester county this season has stamped
him as warden who is out to do
something After a short investigation
Mr. Mower located the illegal fisherman
and concealed at the bank of the river
Sunday night, saw the troll pulled
with every one of the $50 hooks baited
The seizure was made not without
struggle, and the Worcester man
brought home with him the confiscated
troll as a souvenir and to hold as evil
dence.
