THE TWO SHAMROCKS.
New and Old Challenger Take a Spin
observation-disclosures over
hauis Later.

southampton, May THE Sham
rock ii. had her second spin Monday
morning. A fresh, squally northeast
wind promised just the conditions
Capt. Sycamore desired, to supple
ment Saturdays light-breeze trial.
The chief interest now centers in the
cup challenger's behavior when polk
ing her long bow into a rough sea.
After clearing the Spit lights, the
new Shamrock drew away from the
older boat rapidly. The real spin
was begun later, however, when the
two yachts were lined up off the
squadron. At the signal the Sham
rock II. gave the advantage of the
start to the Shamrock T., with the
seeming intention Of seeing if she
could make up half mile on the
fetch out of Lymington The expert
ment was apparently satisfactory,
for the new yacht in half an hour
had drawn ahead under the lee of the
older craft. She then threw round
and just failed to cross ahead of the
Shamrock l. Passing close astern of
the latter, the Shamrock III. was
lutfed up, and pointing very high she
passed the Shamrock l. wide to the
weather, bearing away across the lat
ter's bows, offering ample proof that
she was no< pushed to her fun limit
Then the Erin took up position, and
the two sailing craft rounded, the
Shamrock II. slowing down so that
the Shamrock J. went over the line
two minutes ahead.
All the way down the Shamrocks
had a good ten-knot breeze and a
strong tide. with little sea with them.
Under these conditions the Shamrock
l. was no match for the new chal-
lenger.
Jib and topsail were set as the
boats ran back to Cowes roads. All
the way back they had a strong tide
and a stern wind, which fell lighter.
Going free. the new yacht was quite
unable to catch the Shamrock l.. and
for five miles there was no percep-
tible change in their positions. A bog
reaching jib was tried on the Sham
rock H.; but even then the older
boat held her distance, and at the
finish of the spin, the gap between
them was practically the same as
when they started.
