sHAMRocKs TRIALS NOT CONCLUSIVE
I SHE Is FASTER IHAN THE BRITANNIA TO WIND
WARD. But NOT MUCH. IF ANY sU-
PERIOR BEFORE THE WIND.


A well known nautical man. and an honorary
member of one of the prominent yacht clubs said
yesterday: The results Of the two trial races be-
tween the Shamrock and the Britannia are not
conclusive as to the superiority OF the Shamrock
or the Columbia. although they do prove that tho
Shamrock is decidedly superior TO the Britannia,
assuming that the latter was sailed for all she
was worth. The second days race can hardly he
taken into account. since II a drifting race for
the greater distance and was abandoned before
its finish because the Prince Of Wales had an en-
gagement to meet in London. One might assume
that the Prince Of Wales interested in
keeping his shore engagements than he was to
conclude the comparative qualities OF the two boats
in a light breeze. and the fact that the Shamrock
was twelve or fifteen minutes ahead the time
the signal went up to about and return home does
not prove her merits decisively. 1t may have been
due TO the indifference Of the people the Britain
MIA after her owner had decided to abandon the
race. In the light air. when the two yachts
merely drfted. the Shamrock gained very little
When the breeze freshened. after a lapse of half
an hour, the Shamrock is reported to have in
creased her lead. and this was partially due very
likely to her catching the breeze in advance OF the
Britannia.
