SHAMROCK'S NEW MAST.
4 Hollow Steel Pole. 160 Feet High. III, Only
One Ever Built.

Glasgow, June 20.-The Shamrock II s
new mast was stepped. today. The new
spar consists of a hollow steel pole 160
feet long built in a single piece from
step to truck. the first of its kind ever
made. The advantage is claimed for
the new mast that it saves top weight
and also presents a smaller wind sur
face. 1t permits of dispensing with
gear for the hosting and lowering of
the topmast and it is believed that
single spar can be braced more rigidly
than a spliced. telescope mast.
The chief advantage of the single
piece pole lies in the impossibility OF
housing the topmast during heavy
weather. In this respect it is pointed
out that this maneuver has been re-
sorted to but once in the history of the
cup races.
Sir Thomas Upton and Mr.. Watson
were present when the mast was step
ped. The challenger's sails are due al

You were willing to submit the
claim to arbitration when the joint
high commission was sitting. weren't
you?" he was asked.
"Oh. yes was the prime minister's

British commissioners represented that

The general opinion here is that Rus
