SHAMROCK REMEAsURED.
Over Three Thousand Pounds of
Lead Added to Her Ballast.

NEW YORK. Oct. 18.-The remeasur-
ing of the Shamrock took place at Erie
Basin to-day. The yacht was laid be-
tween one of the army transports ana
the steamship RemuS. There were on
board, besides the Captain, William
Butler Duncan, Jr., representing the
New York Yacht Club. and Mr.. Iselin,
]. Connell, representing the Royal Ul-
ster Yacht Club the owner of the
Shamrock; Captain Nat Herreshoff and
John Hyslop, official measurer of the
New York Yacht Club.
Three thousand three hundred and
eighty pounds of lead ballast were put
on board the yacht during the night
This is said to have changed her water
line a few inches. She now appears
to set by the stern. After the water
line had been measured in the usual
way, the measurement a1oft too place.
The new topmast was housed, and to
obtain the measurement of it, Mr..
Hyslop sent a man to the masthead in
a boatsWain'S chair, going up aloft IN
another himself to the heel of the top
mast so that an accurate measurement
was thus taken. Immediately after the
measurement the yacht was cast off,
and Mr.. Connell said that she was go
ing direct to Sandy Hook Bay, where
the topmast would be rugged and the
mast be ready for to-mOrroW's race.
Measurer John Hyslop announced at
the New York Yacht Club that the new
measurement of the Shamrock, made
by him this morning, shows the yachts
present water line to be $3.50 feet and
her racing length by club rule 1O2560
feet He stated that the Shamrock will
now allow the Columbia sixteen seconds
in a thirty mile course Tomorrow
race will be fifteen miles to windward
or leeward and back, the start to be
made at II o'clock as usual.
The ballast put aboard the Shamrock
last night consists of pigs of lead
weighing twenty-five pounds each,
made handy in shape to stow in be-
tween the frames Of the yacht, down as
low as possible, where they will do the
most good. Three tons and a half of
it was passed on board and slowed be-
low. Most of this weight was put aft,
Judging from the appearance of the
yacht to-day for she seemed to trim
more by stern than before.
1t was learned to-day that the cause
Of the accident to the topmast was not
the parting of the shroud at the nip
as was generally supposed. The mast
itself broke first, not being able to
stand the strain brought upon it by the
wrenching swing of the great club top
sail spars when the yachts plunged in
to the head seas.
One OF the shrouds broke, it is said,
when the wreckage went down to lee
ward.
A half hour before sunset to-day the
Shamrock lay inside Sandy Hook, gent
ly tugging at her mooring buoy. An
eighth of a mile away was the Colum-
bia, idly rocked on the ripple within
the Horseshoe.
On board the Shamrock there was
activity. Her crew was completing the
adjustment of shrouds and stays to Sc
cure the new topmast that had been
sent up at noon to replace the one car
ried away yesterday. On board the CO.
lumbia there was no activity. All was
