PLANS FOR THE SHAMROCK
Cup Challenger Will Make Her First
 Appearance Before Royalty.

London, June 22.-In spite of the se-
 rosy in everything connected with the
 Americas cup challenger Shamrock, a
 representative of the Associated Press
 has been able to glean a few facts
 about the boat, interesting alike to
 yachtsmen and the general public.
 The original estimate of the cost of the
 vessel has nearly doubled, but Sir Thomas Lipton will not have to foot the whole of the bill. as the Thorney- crofts, who are keenly interested, hoping the Shamr0ck's success will
 add ,aurels to the firms reputation, are bearing a portion of the expense. Those who are inside declare the yachts construction is absolutely
 unique and that the amount CT metal
 employed will be a surprise to the
 yachting world when it is divulged. In color and texture the alley has the ap- pearance of aluminium, of which, fu-
 deed, it has a large percentage. II posses extraordinary resistance and Iightness, and has been used every where where wood was not considered absolutely essential. Immense diff culty has been encountered in mould ing the plates. Although the sheath ing tends to give a heavy appearance. the yacht has in reality been built for light weather, and it is considered that her chances of success will be reduced t1,n,- hn hoo n Ey the cup races. Her deck and Over-deck arrangements, as regards sails, etc, are considered original and peculiarly effective Light larchwood berths ara being fitted for the use of the crew in crossing the Atlantic.
 The contracts of the crew havo been signed for six months certain on racing pay, and substantial bonuses have been promised in case of victory. The first appearance of Shamrock will |" at the Hunters Quay regatta, Firth of Clyde, where Sir Thomas LiptoD gives a 100 guinea cup. The cup challenger take a few trial spins, and may. per haps. be tested in a race or two. But that will be arranged according to tho weather. If it is wet Captain Hogarth vii not set the new mainsa1. From the Clyde Shamrock will proceed to the Royal Ulster regatta ill Belfast Loch, where the same course ill regard to her trial will be followed. It is very iuDrnb9ble that Shamrock will go to Cowes and meet the Prince of Wales cutter Britannia. She is more likely to be placed under ketch rig and get away immediately for New York from North Ireland, so as to get a good Atlantic passage

This Fact Accounts for ihe Dropping off of inc Exporfation of Cereals Over Last Years ShipmenfS-A High Price for Wheat Has Ruled During '95 and inc Present Year in inc United SfafcS.

Washington. June 22.-(Special. J. Good crops in all the world in the year 1S9S-'99 will probably make our ex- port figures for the fiscal year about to end a few million dollars less than those of the banner year 1898. The figures covering the experts during the eleven months ending with May. which have been received by the treas ury bureau of statistics, indicates that during the eleven months the total ex- ports are about six million dollars less than those of the corresponding months of the preceding year, and it is quite probable that the total for the full year will be slightly below those of the great and unprecedented year 1S9S- That they will be much in ex- cess of any other year, however, is equally apparent. For the eleven months of the year 1899 the total ex- ports are S1,13o, ,629, ,572, while in no earlier year except 1898 did the total eports of the eleven months reach the billion dollar line
 The following table shows the total exports from the United States in each year from 1889 to 1899 in the eleven months ending with May:
