SHAMROCK UNDER SAIL.
Does Not Mako Favorable Impression
An English Captaiu's Opinion.
NreNIdl CdbIt D.apntchts 10 THF Run.

LONDON. July S-The Shamrock made trip
this morning for tho purpose Of stretching her
canvas. The spin was made in a light north
west breeze and calm sea. She carried main =
sail. small topsail. jib toosail. lib and staysail.
Tho breeze was just what 1t was ex pected would
suit her. but still she did not create favorable
impression among those along shore.
Though she was quick In stays the bont did
not move easily. She made lots OF smoke for
ward and dragged AFT. 1t was said that she was
logCy. which well describes her The wind
shifted frequently. but was never strong
enough to make her heel any. The Werna and
the Corsair were out cruising at the same time.
but either accidentally or designedly they did
not receive an opportunity to test their relative
speed The Shamrock returned to Southamp-
ton accompanied by the steam yacht Erin. with
Sir Thomas Upton and party OF friends on
board. She will SHIRT in the Royal Ulster Yacht
Club regatta at Bangor on July IA.
The mystery surrounding everything con-
nected with the challenger Is ridiculed and
unfavorably commented upon here. and the
general opinion is that the laugh will be the
greater at the finish If she does not win. One
Of the most experienced yacht captains In
England says it is foolish to have trial race.
Should the result be the same as when the
Britannia defeated the valkyrie in the Clyde
which would be half beaten before the start.
1t would be far better. he thinks. to have a
quiet trial alone In a good breeze and then
judge OF her fitness to start. The Captain says
II the Shamrock cannot beat the Britannia
thirty minutes in q race over q thirty lie
course it Is useless to start her In race for the
Americas Cup. This opinion. he says. is
formed from reading the reports Of the Column
bias trials.
1t is said that Emperor William. who is now
on a yachting cruise In Norwegian waters. will
visit Cowes next week to inspect the Shamrock
CowEs. July g. The work OF recopperng the
cutter Britannia is about finished. and she
will leave her dock on Monday. Her new sails
will be completed probably on Thursday, and
she will have trial spin with the Shamrock on
Saturday. This is likely TO be the only trial
except the one which will be made on July IL
with the Prince OF Wales on board.

The mark that tho yachts turned was only
about six miles from the starting line. With
all their jockeyinR they had sailed that dis
lance In thirty seven minutes and the Column
bia had gained only two seconds. SO far It was
a race worth witnessing. The Defender had
shown that she could hold the new boat and
the crew won more glory by tho way the yacht
had been handled.
Tho Defender made n beautiful turn, and as
she rounded the mark Capt Rhoades gave her q
sharp luff. while the crew trimmed sheets fiat
for the beat back to the Hampstead mark The
Columbia turned poorly. Instead Of coming
around on the weather Of the Defender. she
shot in between the mark boat and the old boat

Mr.. Price has been preaching for 65
years, and, though S5 years old, is
hale and vigorous Received with a
remarkable ovation the venerable
preacher soon became enthused with
his sermon and before he had com
pleted the old Methodists, and some
not so old, were indulging in old-fash-
Toned revival shouting, three old
churchmen jumping about the auditor
ium. They were encouraged in their
enthusiasm by the ministers, who de-
clared that there were young Metho-
dists there who had not seen, in their
lives, such a religious demonstration.
