PREPARING THE SHAMROCK.
The Yacht May be Under Sail by Thurs
day.

New York, Aug. 2S.-In brand new
coat of green paint, and with her tall
topmast ON end, the yacht shamrock
looked very much like racing craft at
sundown to-day. Fife's riggers and the
crew of the yacht were at work all day
setting up the rigging fore and aft and
sending aloft the masthead runners and
other gear No halyards are rove yet,
nor is the gaff in place, but it is said
that will be done tomorrow. A new
scow was brought to the pier this af-
ternoon and moved just ahead of the
tender Nonwantuc. 1t is to be used
for transporting the yachts racing sails,
it is understood, and also for the sail
makers to work on when there is any
repairing or altering to do. Carpenters
were at work on Saturday and to-day
making a light portable deck for the
scow, to be laid down in ten-foot sec
tions 1t has a smooth upper surface
and battons underneath to allow the
water to drain clear. 1t is quite poss1-
BILE that the Shamrock will be under
sail by Thursday.
