she has given satisfaction in every way.
l believe the Americas cup will remain
at least another season on this side of
the Atlantic. can at least say that If
the Shamrock beats her Sir Thomas will
bring to this side the most wonderful
boat ever built"
Judging from what little the experts
across the water have seen of the Sham
rock, she appears to be a mixture of
British and American lines. Sir
Thomas would say that this was ride
ulols, as the Shamrock is built
on original lines. Aft Shamrock
appears to be Herreshoff, while
forward she is Fife. Or to put it as
plainly, aft she is vigilant over again
while forward she is purely of Fife de-

But no unbiased American will give
this criticism u thought. Amy man who
can spend nearly half million dollars
out of pure love for yacht contest and
who can carry himself with such mod
est dignity during the period when
hundreds of newspaper representa-
tives from all parts of the world are
worrying him for his views, is sports
man enough to suit the American pub
lie. On the other hand, Perpont Nor
gan and G. Oliver Isclin, millionaire
owners of the Columbia, have little in
common with the ordinary people of
this country. They are rich enough to
sink a half million in the American
yacht and they are able to dotf their
hats and congratulate Sir Thomas Lip:
ton If the latter's boat wins. In any
case the rich men provide entertain
ment and interest for the world, and
the noble sport of yachting gets an i'm
petus that plays its part in the internal
economy of the two nations.
Singularly both yachts were attend
ed by slight accidents when launched.
Colubia slid into the water in the pres
ence of cheering thousands, and then
went aground on mud bank. There
was little secrecy about her lines.
Shamrock glded onto the bosom of the
turgid Thames and was run down by
noisy steam lighter, but was not
seriously injured. Both boats have had
trials when all their great spreads of
sail were at some time bowed in the
wind. 1t is the hope of Sir Thomas
Upton that the world will regard bis
victory as an Irish triumph, should he
win. He said at the launching that he
did not know who planted the first
shamrock on American soil, but that
he csdid fairly claim being the first
to place one on American waters. The
Shamrock will be conveyed across the
i Atlantic via the southern route, in all
probability by Sir Thomas Lipton's
| palatial steam yacht Erin. Critics are
even now asking whether the metallic
hull of the dainty yacht will stand the
strain of the long trip. William Fife,
who drew her lines and figured on her
apparent great beam because of her
spread of sail, has no apprehensions.
Mr.. Iselin, the leading spirit in the
syndicate that owns the Columbia. will
be a prodigal entertainer when the for

sign. She is much cut away and allows
of very little driving space, and al
though she looks to be very big boat
she has little, comparatively speaking,
below the water line. Her measure.
ments are said to be: Length, 1870 feet
e inches; length on water line, 80 feet
6 inches; beam, "a feet; draught, 10
feet inches, and she has a sail spread
of over $4,000 square feet. The Column
bia is six inches longer than Shamrock,
over all, if the unofficial figures can be
relied upon. In building the new de-
fender yacht the Herreshoffs had to
solve the problem of saving all weight
compatible with safety. The frame
work, therefore, had to be of nickel
steel, with tensile strength of 10000
pounds. To compensate for the great
weight below steel had to be used for
the mast and spars. The mast is over
LOT feet high and the boom, two feet
longer, sweeps through an arc of more
than 300 feet. The mainsail, which Is
said to be the largest ever raised on q
yacht, covers 7,475 square feet.
Even since the British boat has been
in salt water frantic efforts have been
made by the curious to get close enough
to gather some idea of her striking pc
culiarities. But the skipper, assisted
by his crew, together with the police
that Sir Thomas pays for, have done
their work well. Shamrock will remain
largely metallic mystery until she
hoists her sails on the yacht course to
meet Columbia
Those who care to go into the pre-.
dieting business might well say that it
looks like another American victory.
if the deep sea work of the new yachts
is any criterion. Shamrock took her
maiden spin in light northwest breeze
with the sea rather calm. She carried
mainsail, small topsail, jip topsail, Jill
and staysail, and the conditions were
supposed to be just what Fife would
have desired for true test of the Gre
alton of his mind. Shamrock was quick
enough in stays, but she stirred up
plenty of smoke" forward and ap-

THE COLUMBIA UNDER FULL SAIL.

American defender and the British chal-
ieuger. Expenses of building, fitting out
and maintaining these boats, the great
expenditures by the thousands of en-
thusiasts who have at this early date
leased every steamer available for fol-
lowing the yachts, and the many items
such as railroad fares, hotel expenses
and newspaper expenses in getting
news and imparting it to the public,
all help to swell the cost of the race
to the big figures.
Race day, affairs of state, business
and household matters and almost
every ordinary transaction will be SUBJ
ordinated to the query: Who wins?
So fixed and honored by precedent is
the international struggle that the
insular enthusiast actually thinks the
pretty thing that skins the water be-
meath snowy cloud of white canvas
Us the embodiment of all there is in the
prowess of John Bull. The same senti-
ment actuates the citizen of the United
States. He pins his faith to the boat
sat whose peak floats the stars and
stripes, sustained by the fact that in
all these years British designers have
not succeeded in getting speed lines
chat could beat the American. Millions
will be eager to hear details of the con-
test, but few of that great number will
have a technical knowledge of yacht
ing. 1t is to the layman who scarcely
knows the difference between a mast
step and a spinnaker, that the forth
coming race will be of deepest interest
Seeing farther than mere details OF
construction he will accept twenty
fourth victory by an American boat as
a tribute to Yankee building and Amer
lean seamanship.
No one man could to-day make a
comparison between Columbia and
Shamrock that would be within strik-
ing distance of the figures that the
regatta committee of the New York
Yacht club will have to carefully com.
qiie before the scientific allowances

lar conditions both yachts would be ex-
actly the same in speed. Fortune may
play more of part in the race after all
the pains to get the best racing ma
chimes that money can buy or brains
design. One boat may succeed in
snatching a stray Whit of breeze at an
opportune time and beat out rival
that had been better in rounding to, in
windward work and in all emergencies.
But luck stands equal at the present
hour with both Columbia ard Sham
rock. The people are sportsmanlike
enough to wish the better boat to win.
The owners certainly have expended
thousands of dollars, aye hundreds Of
thousands of dollars with the fact star
ing them in the face-one boat must
lose.
After the gallant old Defender de-
feated Valkyrie III. three times those
memorable days in September, 1895,
yachtsmen in England sighed and de-
clared that the skill of Fife had APP
parently been batlled for the last time
by that of the Herresho1fs. Theremight

British boats and losing had not Sir

strong enough TO make her heel any.
So much for the maiden spin. Since
then she has had other spins off South
ampton, but the public has not been en-
lightened as to her sailing qualities.
AS for Columbia. she has proved her
self better boat than the Defender.
and under Sailing Master Barr has car
ried her wealth of billowy sails like a
thing of beauty and life. Some of her
little peculiarities are that the club
topsail is carried unusually high, the
yard extending above the topmast head
almost 26 feet. The club projects be.
yond the gait about IA feet, and between
the tip of the club and the end of the
gait there is a distance of about 10 feet.
Columbia has shown weakest only in
the run before light wind. But even
in this sailing she appears to be bette,
than Defender. E. q. wEsTLAKE
