SHAMROCK Il SAILS FOR AMERICA
Thousands Gather at the Wharf to Sec
the Challenger Start.

Gourock Scot, July 2S-The challenger
for the Americas cup, the Shamrock H.,
accompanied by the steam yacht Erin,
sailed at 1920 o'clock yesterday morning
for New York Great enthusiasm was
displayed as the racer sailed away.
Can't Sycamore desired to go out under
canvas, and he was favored with a Light
easterly wind, sufficient to keep the flags
streaming in the direction the yachts had
to sail.
The challenger cut a strange figure with
her stunted spars and scanty canvas a.
she lay ready to start. At 10 o'clock Sir
Thomas Upton and Mr.. Watson boarded
her and a few minutes later the challen-
gers moorings were slipped her headsails
broken out, and she slipped away on her
voyage across the Atlantic.
Thousands OF persons gathered along
the shore and on the pier at Gourock, and
greeted the yachts departure with great
outburst of cheering again and again re-
newed. Hats and handkerchiets were
waved, guns saluted and steam whistles
and sirens shrieked,
The Shamrock's crew We're all mustered
on deck, and led by Sir Thomas gave
hearty response to the greetings,
For miles along the shore crowds oc-
cupied every vantage point, and the cheers
passed from group to group until the chal-
lenger, with her racing flag at the mast
head 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 off Cumhraes,
when he returned on a tug, Before loav-
ing he addressed the - llenger's crew,
thanking them for what @,cy had already
done, and wishing them Godspeed on the
voyage and successful finish to their
task.
Sir Thomas said they had the best boat
1t was possible to provide for them, and
that MIR. Watson had done his part well,
partly for love of his profession, and part
ly for love of the old flag the boat went to
| represent.
| They had a stiff fight before them, con-
tinued Sir Thomas, but the opponents they
went to meet were generous. Whatever
the result of the races might be, he knew
the best yacht would win, and If any favor
Were shown, 1t would not be to the disad-
vantage Of the British boat.
