Shamrock II Will Probably Be Built

WILL MEET VIGNAUX
Opening Of Aqueduct Track Mared
by Poor Starting.
B A S E B A L N o T E S

A story at Glasgow, Scotland, has it that
the famous shipbuilding firm of VIM. Denny
Brothers Of Dumbarton will have the honor
of building Shamrock II, says special to
the New York Herald.
II ran down to Dumbarton today and
had the good fortune to meet Mr.. Watson,
who will design the boat, in the private
Office Of the Denny firm. To the frs.
pointed question as to the probable build
ers Of Shamrock II, he answered most
frankly:
The contract IS still in allegiance, but I
should be glad to see 1t placed in the very
yard in which we are standing. However,
Other firms mentioned are all good, and
there would be no danger in placing the
order with any one of them.
1T would" he continued, mot be fair to
say just now whether steel, aluminium or
manganese will enter most largely into the
hull, but you may say that the lightest ma
teriai compatible with strength and stabil-
ity will be used
another ques ion. but liner will suit me
better than The yacht. l always felt that
the Shamrock I suffered greatly from MIR.
Flies poor state of health while he was
in the Sta.eS."
Mr.. Watson agreed with the contention
that the coming races should be held on
the open sea off Block Island, saying SIR
Thomas Upton would greatly prefer the
ilSSuolu Vi Il ocean course.
What Mr. E. A. Willard, who will pos
sihly be manager. may do in the matter
OF selecting skipper for the new cup
defender remains to be seen. Charley
Barr the successful sailing master of the
Columbia, will be disengaged at the end
of the year and may be selected. Bars
pluck and energy and his success with his
crews are widely known. Barr brought
the Wig liant back from England in the
spring of 1895 and was with Mr.. Willard
in that yacht during her trial races with
the Defender.
There is another rumor about shippers.
1t is that Captain Robert Wringe of Eng
land. the sailing master of Vice Commo-
dore Belmonts seventy-footer Mineola last
season, will be the sailing master of the
Columbia while she is being used as trial
boat for the new defender There is a
great deal more speed in the conqueror Of
the Shamrock than has yet been developed
She was never hurried in the races that
were sailed to a finish with the visiting
yacht, and next season she will be better
than ever. What if she should defeat the
new boat? Would it then be Mr.. c. Oliver
lselin. manager. and Wringe, skipper
against wicked Willie" Jameson. manager.
and Edward Sycamore, skipper. of the
Shamrock II?

John Drake Back From England and
Denies He Was Chased Away.

John Drake Back From England and
Denies He Was Chased Away.
John Drake. the member of the Chicago
board of trade who recently sold out his
stable of race horses in England, denied
last night upon his arrival in New York
that he had disposed of them on account of
Lord Durham's criticisms of the American
methods of racing. Mr. Drake was accom-
panied by his wife and two relatives
1T is untrue" he said, that 1 sold out
my stable on account Of Lord Durham's
remarks. In the first place, met his lord
ship and was given to understand he had
not intended to pass any comment on the
American sporting gentlemen represented
on the English tracks, but had directed his
remarks to the many racing touts and swim
dlers who had been driven off the American
tracks through their, practices and had
sought refuge In England. l took up racing
as means OF recreation, and made pront
at it. Being a business man felt that the
best time to leave 1t and sell out was when
was ahead, and did. That was all there
was to It.
The English tracks are so organized and
governed by such rules that they can drive
of the undesirable element meant by Lord
Durhams remarks. but in some way or
other they don't, and the undesira bles seem
to increase anu flourish. There are many
things against the English racing methods;
IN the hrst place. they ~on't train their
horses or jockeys properly or rather they
overtrain them. English horses wear too
heavy shoes, two pounds being an average
weight shoe to carry. which Is by far too
much. My trainer, Wishard, had my horses
shod with aluminium Plates. something I'M
usual there. AS a CLASS, the English racing
men are a fine body
At this point of the conversation Mrs
Drake remarked: ~ -
Yes, they are very nice people, but they
are SO very jealous. you know
what my wife says is quite true Mr..
Drake continued. They are very Jealous
and suspicious, in fact foolishly So"

Bad Starting Detracts Interest From
the Sport.
The autumn meeting of the Queens coun-
ty. N. Y. Jockey Club began at Aqueduct
yesterday. The track was In excellent con-
dition, the weather perfect for racing. and
there was a fair attendance. P. ]. Dwyer.
W. S. Vosburgh and F. T. Clarke were the
stewards C. H. Pettingill abandoned the
judges stand for the starters flag. leaving
Clarence Mcdowell to place the horses at
the finish. Mr.. Pettingilrs effort with the
flag was, as 1t always has been, dismal
failure. The barrier that goes with his
starting is absolutely the worst ever seen
on any racetrack. 1t pulled one OF the boys
out of the saddle in the first race. and 1t
came near decapitating Littlefeld in the
second race. Protests were heard on every
side against the starter and the barrier.
The bookmakers say that their business
will be injured unless the starting tmprovs g.
as betters will be afraid that their horses
will be left at the post or get such bad
starts that they cannot win
Olea was the favorite for the first race,
at to 1. A number of other horses in the
race were backed however, especially Mid
night Chimes, Templar and Oliver Nc. A
tedious delay occurred at the post, and
when the barrier finally went up for the
start the horses We're strung out for hun
dred yards. Midnight Chimes raced out in
front and held the advantage until the
stretch was reached. Oliver Nc then came
through and won comfortably from Mid
night Chimes and Huitzilpochtli.
The starters effort in the second race
was even worse than his first. He seemed
to have no control over the boys, who broke
through the barrier several times. When
he did drop his flag, after ten minutes de-
lay. Helen O'C. and Lone Fisherman were
in full speed, while nearly all the others
were flatfooted. Littlefield had No / po-
sition, on Carnelian. the second choice, and
as he started the. barrier caught him under
the chin, nearly dragging him off the
horses back. OF course Caruelian was left
Ear behind the field. Helen OC. won the
race in a gallop. Orienta came second and
Lone Fisherman on account of his running
start. third.
Only five horses started in the third race.
and yet the start was atrociously bad.
Trillo the favorite got running start
three lengths before the others. Henry
hustled him along as fast as he would go,
and although Miss Hanover passed him on
