All things considered, Sir Thomas
Liptons cup challenger Shamrock made
the finest showing of speed in her trial
Monday that has yet been seen on this
side of the water.
With a wind that varied from a mod
crate breeze to a strong one she COW
cred for the first time one regular
course of the international races-l5
miles to windward and back-and her
time, as taken by the reporters AMI
confirmed by DR.. Mackay on the Erin,
was 3h pom.
1t appeared that she was not sailed
for all she was worth. She rarely
pointed higher than Az points of the
wind, and never higher than AIS points,
at which angle her jibtopsail lifted
slightly
But after every allowance is made it
appears that the Shamrock could have
covered the route to windward no more
swiftly than the Defender could have
done it.
1t was wild dash for home that fol-
lowed-so wild that the dispatch boat
logging II knots was steadily dropped
astern to the delight of every reporter
upon her, for the speed of the green
racer showed that in at least one point
of sailing she was almost as good as the
BRISTOL wonder. Inc shamrock run ana
reached Is miles in one hour and 10 mi
nutes.
But this statement does not give the
green racer full credit for what she die
after she got the wind to her liking In
the Is minutes before the spinnaker was
taken in she had run, say two miles
and a quarter, possibly two and one
half miles. This left her at least 1919
knots to cover, and she did it in So min
utes. In complete racing trim she would
have reached over that distance at 1917
knots an hour.
On the whole it was once more shown
that in a moderate breeze the sham
rock is at best no better than the Dc.
fender, especially in windward work
but if the spectators of the information
al races are so fortunate as to finnd the
wind blowing Is knots an hour when
the line is crossed they will see the
most exciting contests for the Gun
known since the outside race between
the Puritan and Genesta, wherein the
Columbia will gain somewhat in wind
ward work, and only a trife on the
reaches, and will land winner by mar
gin narrow enough at the least 10
make all hands yell themselves speech
less because Of the thrill of the tri
umph.
The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1899-09-20
(New York Journal.)

The Shamrock had real full dress
rehearsal of a cup race Monday. She
ran off Is knots southeast from the
Scotland lightship and back, making
the 80 miles-the full cup eourse-in
three hours and twenty-nine minutes.
The wind at the start was light, and
she consequently did not distinguish
herself on the way out. On the last
of the five tacks, she was obliged to
make the stake boat. She did some
pretty sailing. The wind had increased
to a decent sailing breeze, and the
Shamrock came up to the anchored tug
Lawrence at ten-knot gait.
Coming home the Shamrock with
balloon sails swelling over her, essayed
run before the wind. This was not
a conspicuous success. The wind shift
ed and carried her out of her course.
She had to take in her spinnaker after
running few miles and make a broad
reach for the lightship. This reach
was the spectacle of the day. Under
club topsail, No. l jib topsail, jib and
forestaysail, the gallant yacht reeled
off the Is miles to the lightship in two
minutes less than the hour
This last splendid reach was made
possible by 14-knot wind in just the
quarter that suited the Shamrock best.
Had the Columbia been beside her dur
ing those 10 knots the race would have
been one to write sagas about At
any other stage of yesterdays trial the
Columbia, it is believed, would have
gone away from her green rival.
The day emphasized what was borne
in upon the watchers of the Sham
rocks first performances off the Hook,
that with a wind of IA knots the Sham
rock is a very dangerous factor, and
she becomes more and more threaten
ing as the wind rises Yesterdays
trial. in brief, showed the Shamrock
at her very best and very worst.

IT PROMISES WELLt

Thus far Director Merriam has been
singularly fortunate in the selection of
| chiefs of the grand divisions of the CEN
sus work. Congress refused to place
the department upon a civil service ba-
sis, but ex-Gov. Merriam has indicated
the wisdom of the merit system by
| making his appointments strictly in
accordance with it. This is shown
conspicuously in the men who have
been chosen to exercise general control
over the fields of population, manufac-
lures, agriculture and vital statistics
and by the creation of a new depart
ment, which has been designated the
section of methods and results. Wash
1ngton authorities say that never be-
fore has the census bureau been
equipped with so able corps of stats
ticians, and it may reasonably be a
matter of pride that three of the chiefs
are Massachusetts men.
Prof. Walter 4. Wilcox of Columbia.
who is TO devise methods and analayze
results, came from Reading, in this
state. and has made a study of statis-
teal work both in this country and
abroad. He is a statistical scientist.
Mr.. Hunt, who will preside over sta
tistics of population, got his training
under Col. Carroll d. Wright in the
Massachusetts, census of 1875, and that
OF the next decade. He has been con-
stantly engaged in similar work ever
since, and was employed upon the fed
eral census of 1890. S. N. d. North of
Boston, secretary of the National
Wool Manufacturers Association, will
have charge of the section of manu-
tactures, for which he is peculiarly
adapted. Carroll D. Wright has char
acterized him as the best man in the
country in his special lire of work. AS
ISOLATED with him will be Mr.. Stewart.
another statistician Of experience and
acknowledged ability. Mr.. Powers,
who takes the section of agriculture.
was employed on the eleventh census.
ana has made name for himself as
labor commissioner for Minnesota. Mr..
King, to whom the vital statistics are
entrusted, has had long experience at
this kind Of work and enjoys a high
reputation.
Necessarily the value Of the census
Will depend much upon the character of
the 5000 clerks yet to be appointed, but
the good beginning augurs well for dis
examination in the future Men of the
character already engaged could hard
ly have been secured unless substantial
guarantees were given that they could
depend upon efficient help in their sew
eral sections. 1t may be that abuses
will creep into the census, but it is to
be remembered that trained intelu-
gence, commanding large salaries. is
not required at every desk, and it could
not be supplied if it were. Up to the
present time, Director Merriam has
shown commendable ambition to
place only men Of reputation and exne.
rience in responsible positions, and for
this he deserves all praise and support

1t was the same story Of great life
in good breezas. Her best speed was
