CHALLENGER AGAIN BEA TEN
THE TWO sHAMROCKs TRIED OUT IN A
LONG TRIANGULAR COURSE.

Rothesay. Firth of Clyde July 3.-The two
Shamrocks started on a thorough racing trial
to-day over a forty -three-mile course A brisk
breeze was blowing when the start was MADE
The yachts carried jibheaders.
In order to give the Shamrocks thorough
test in open water, a triangular course was laid
out for to-day's race, starting at Garroek Head
thence TO Holy Island around the Erin, thence
ten or twelve miles TO the southeastward' around
the Erin again and reach back TO the starting
point
Sir Thomas Upton invited the reporters
aboard the Erin 10 witness the racing, but Mr..
Watson cancelled the invitation, desiring 20 oh
tain the secrecy with which he has vainly en-
deavored to surround all the challenger's move
ments.
The boats fetched out Of the bay under iib-
headed topsans \ brisk easterly breeze was
rufiing the water and giving fine racing wind
all the way down Although the formal racing

favor of a trial inside the Firth, and the two
yachts started on a reach across. of Cumbrae
the challenger was leading by 53 seconds. Soon
after they sailed into calm and Shamrock

going 20 leeward in a light wind she is faster
than the new challenger. When of Knock
Castle Shamrock I led by a minute and forty
seconds. The timing, two miles further, showed
that the former challenger had continued 10 gain
seventeen seconds each mile on the run. The
Cup challenger then set a clubtopsail in place of
her iibheader and the former challenger did the
same. Shamrock II then held the leader better
but for time she was unable To lessen the gap
AS the yachts turned Shamrock I was still about
two minutes ahead. Beating up the Channel
toward Rothesay the gap was practically unaI-
tered until Shamrock l threw away part Of her
advantage and finished minute ahead.

The Dohertys retain the championship by the
consistent, safe game they played to-day

The latter gained their points by magnificent
strokes. Davis scoring frequently with hard
smashes and backhand cross volleys such as
had never been seen at Wimbledon and which
elected rounds of applause.
On the other hand. II was almost irritating TO
watch the Dohertys. They took no risks and
ignored easy chances Of killing the ball.
The Americans throughout have borne them
selves with modesty and good temper. and have
been credit 20 their country in every way.
The spectators generally have been very ready
10 appreciate and applaud their great play,
though they have been criticised for being tricky
and their nigh lobS have heen referred 10 as not
being proper tennis. The chief criticism they
were subjected to- however, was from the fact
thai they wore black tennis shoes instead OF the
