Shamrock 1 match the former was taken to
the navy yard, Brooklyn, and In the big
deck there was looked after until she was
in perfect condition. Then the Shamrock
was towed from Erie basin, where she had
been worked upon for days, to the navy
yard, and both were measured in the same
dock, the Columbia first receiving the at
tention of the New York Yacht Clubs Of

Both the challenger and the defender will
receive attention this year In the Erie basin
docks. Some time ago the manager Of the
new cup defender engaged the dock there
for the three or four days previous to the
first race, and since that arrangement was
made those in authority at Glasgow have
asked the John n. Robins Company to re-
serve dock for the Shamrock III, and the
request has been granted. The dates re-
quired for the latter have not yet been
named. 1t is said, but there is no doubt the
time will be just before the first race of
the match. The official measurements re-
quired by the New York Yacht Club will
also be made there. Both the big docks in
the companys yard may be used for the
purpose intended.

WILL SURPRISE YACHTSMEN.
Bulk of LiptOn's New Boat Is Forward
of the Mast.

OF the MAST
A special to the New York World from
Glasgow says: Sir Thomas Lpton's Sham
rock II will be surprise to yachting sharps
when they see her. The framework already
in position shows that there will be very
marked difference from the boat designed
by VIII Fife.
In fact, there is a great divergence from
lines which are generally accepted as being
fixed quantities by the most expert crafts
men. There was much similarity in the ap
pearance of the first Upton challenger and
the Herreshoff Columbia, but even the mer-
est tyro will be able to pick out the Eng
lish yacht this trip.
What strikes the observer as the most
radical change Is that the bulk Of the
new craft is thrown forward to an aston
ishing extent. Instead or the Keen busi-
ness-like shape forward of the big stick SO
familiar In racing craft of the last decade,
there is a return to the old bluff-bowed
type that has now but few examples
afioat.
/ OF course this startling retrospection to
the days of aud lang syne will not be so
apparent when the frames to carry forward
the overhangs are in position and when the
lines are softened and rounded out by the
plating But even after this stage Of con-
struction Is finished a glance will reveal
the very perceptible difference.
This marked change in form of the latest
aspirant for the Americas cup leaves no
doubt in the minds Of experts here that
Watson has discovered some very vital
principle OF yacht construction.
He made almost countless experiments
with models In the testing tank at Denny,s,
and there is every reason to believe his la
bors bore gratifying fruit. 1t has been I'm
possible to learn the exact nature of these
miniature trial races. but they were con-
Quoted with Infinite palms, and every little

these enough reasons why I should have

Have you formed any definite idea of

A COMET
WAS IN THE SOUTHERN SKY
Prof. Cex, of the Weather Bureau,
Says the Celestial Apparition
Was Comet and Plain
Iy Visible

CHICAGO, Nov. 2S.-What appear
ed to be a comet was visible
here in the southern sky this evening.
It's position, as viewed from the audito-
rum tower, in which the United States
weather bureau is situated, was about
ten degrees southeast from the zenith.
1t was difficult to judge of its length,
for the reason that 1t was pointed directly
upward, and was apparently going from
the earth, but Prof. Cox, in charge of
the bureau, said that, in his judgment,
it was about two degrees long.
'I am not an astronomer said Prof.
Cox, ..but feel very positive that it was
a comet It was plainly visible at $50
o'clock, and we could see itsat-7 o'clock,
when it became invisible on; account of
the increasing haze. All the men in the
Office here saw it. 1t could not have
been a meteor, for it remained practi-
cally in the same position during the en-
tire time it was visible, and no meteor
would have done that. It's apparent
immovability shows, too, that it was at
a great distance from the earth. There
was head which was plainly visible to
the naked eye, and still more apparent
when viewed through a glass There
was also a well defined tail.
The comet was seen by many people
on the streets, as well as by the officials
at the weather bureau.
'.I am almost certain that it was a
streamer of the Aurora Borealis." said
Prof. George w. Hale. of the Yerkes OBJ
servatory, Lake Geneva, Wis, who was
spending Thanksgiving in Chicago. so
