THE MARCHIONESs OF DUFFERIN TO NAME
THE CUP CHALLENGER.
Glasgow. March 24.-Sir Thomas Upton was
at Dumbarton yesterday. making arrangements
to launch the Shamrock III. and the ceremony
has been definitely fixed for April 20. The Mar
chioness of Duffern will name the yacht
The attempts last week to dredge the channel
deep enough to float the challenger failed, ow-
ing TO the shifty nature of the bottom FOR
time it looked as if this might give rise TO Sc
rious difficulties. because the long fin and heavy
ballast demand twenty feet of water. which 1t
is impossible to get.
In this dilemma Mr.. Watson devised an in
genious plan. This involves huge watertight
box of sufficient buoyancy to carry the whole
weight of the yacht. The box is being built
around the underbody in such fashion that
the whole of the hollow between the body of the
yacht and the fin will he filled up. II is CAL
culated that this will float six feet above the
normal water line of the yacht. and that when
deep water is reached it can he knocked away
One result of the of the contrivance will
be that the underbody will be hidden the
yacht goes down the ways, and IL Will be i'm
