Gourock, July 27.-Shamrock H., ac-

Capt Sycamore desired to go out

with light oasterly wind, sufficient
to keep the flags streaming in the di.

her stunted spars and scanty canvas
as she lay ready to start
At ten o'clock Sir Thomas Upton
and Mr.. Watson, the yachts designer,
boarded her, and few minutes later
the challenger's moorings were
slipped, her headsails broken out, and
Shamrock III. started on her voyage

were waved, guns roared and steam
whistles ana sirens shrieked. The
Shamrock's crew were all mustered on
deck and, led 10y Sir Thomas, gave u
hearty response TO the greetings. For
miles along the shore crowds occupied
every vantage point, and the cheers
passed from group to group until the
challenger, with her racing flag at the
masthead, and the Erin, with the
Stars and Stripes flying at her fore,
disappeared from sight.
Sir Thomas Upton remained
aboard the challenger until she was
of Cumbracs, when he returned on
a tug. Before leaving he addressed
the challeuger's crew, thanking them
for what they had done already, and
wishing them godspeed on the voy-
age and successful finish to their
task.

West of the Mississippi river they

making any specific predictions as to
the effect of the rain on the crops. eX-
press the opinion that all those crops
which have not been irreparably ruin
ed will be benefited by the breaking
of the drouth.
The late crops naturally will be
helped the most. The reports show
that during the past twenty-four
hours showers were quite general in
the corn belt and were heavy over
much of the State of Iowa and over
the part of the corn belt not visited
by rains, including western Nebraska,
southern Missouri and Oklahoma. Mon.
day there will be showers throughout
the corn belt region except in its
extreme western portion and southern
Indiana and southern Ohio and they
will continue generally on Tuesday
in the Ohio and middle Mississippi
valleys.
There also have been showers and
thunderstorms in the northern tier Of
States from New England to the Dako-

Arizona and southern Utah and on the

popularity known as "a sporty boy"
lie was one of the charter members
of big West side bicycle club when
wheeling was epidemic, and when the
club built bowling alley and gave
other Indications that it was falling
away from its allegiance to the cycle
Hawkins still retained his member
ship, though he declared that the de-
cline of the bicycle in popularity was
only temporary.
"The wheel is here to stay" he
said. Just because few pinheads
have quit riding is no reason why the
rest of us should give up the game"
SO Hawkins stuck to his bicycle,
rode it in all kinds of weather, and
declared that he got more fun and
benefit out of it every year. 1t hap

hammer and start the anvil chorus
I've never heard him say a good word
for anything yet. Some day I'm GO
ing to give him jar that will make
him be decent"
One night when the two young men
went to dinner together Hawkins was
wearing his bicycle trousers and was,
consequently, the object of much of
Elliott's caustic wit.
''Bicycling's all played out" said
the cynic. IT'S a busted fad. I'm
surprised that q sensible man ike
you. Hawkins, should go around
with a wheel at the present stage of
the game. Why, you might as well
be wearing hoop skirts as those BIZ
cycle trousers"
Hawkins came TO the defense of his
favorite sport in gallant fashion. He
called the wheel 1.-THE poor mans
horse" and pointed out the great
benefit bicycling has been to the
health of the public, He grew both
angry and enthusiastic as Elliott per-
sisted in his attacks.
"Why, wheeling is so dead said
Elliott. finally, that you couldn't
find a thief cheap enough to steal a
bicvcle. In the old days the papers
used to be full of stories of bicycle
thieves. You never hear of one now
adays."
Hawkins declared that thief
would steal bicycle even now if he
had a good chance. OF course, the
great reduction in the price of wheels
had taken away some of the tempta-
tion. but it wouldn't be safe to leave
n wheel out of doors over night at
that.
Elliott proceeded to poke some fur
tber fun at the bicycle and people
who still cling to it, He finally wound
ND with what Hawkins felt TO be a
stupendous bluff.
81 tell YOU what I'll do, Hawkins"
he said. "Ill go out with you now
and buy a S12 bicycle, each of us pay
ing half. Wen take it home with us
and stand it up against the wall in
the vacant lot between Blacks gro
cery and the livery stable There
are several thousand people pass
that lot every day, and yet I'll bet
YOU $50 that if we put that wheel
there tonight it'll still be there in
the morning. 1 tell you no self-re-
specting thief will bother with bicy-
Giles nowadays. He'll make more
money stealing junk"
To Hawkins it looked to be a GER
taintv that any bicycle left out I'M
locked over night would be carried
off before morning. The place Ell
lott had suggested for the test was
one of the most conspicuous on the
West side. An unlocked wheel would
last about 30 minutes in that neigh
borhood, he thought. Besides he did
not like the idea of being bluffed by a
"knocker" like Elliott. Accordingly
he promptly took up the challenge
and the two men went out to buy q
wheel. In half an hour they had
found a place where new bicycle
could be bought for $12 cash. Each
man put up six dollars, and they
started away, pushing the bicycle be-
tween them.
Just at $3.50 they reached the West
side corner, near which they hac
agreed to leave the wheel over night
The street was crowded, and il looked
TO Hawkins as if he already had the
money won. The wheel was finished
in red and biue enamel, which made
Il especially conspicuous, and when i

colored man push bicycle around

away. Yes, he remembered it was
finished in red and blue enamel, but
he didn't notice which way the man

moral lesson concealed somewhere
about it. Hawkins is inclined to
think it is simply another indication
of the kind of luck he is playing in
