After spending a couple of hours
slipping about in light winds off
Cowes, the challenger made long
board toward Ryde. There fresher
wind was met and, going along with
all canvas drawing well, the Sham
rock II. footed ahead in a way little
short of marvellous. The sweetness of
her hull was shown by the smoothness
of her going through the water, and,
under Saturdays conditions, the
Shamrock II. is certainly marvel in
this. respect. The wash from her lee
bow was slight and the weather wash
from her quarter little more than rip
pied the surface.
The conditions, Saturday, it is true,
were exactly those in which the chal-
lenger was expected to show at her
best, but, even allowing this, beyond
doubt she has more than fulfilled the
expectations of her most ardent ad-
mirers. The wind in which she passed
Ryde was such as might take her
round an Americas cup course just
inside the time limit and in these con-
ditions she gave display never before
equaled on this side of the Atlantic.

Southampton, Ihay 6.-The new cup
challenger started on her hrst trial
spin Saturday morning under excel
lent conditions. The sun shone
bright and warm and steady north
easterly breeze was blowing.
An immense amount Of preparatory
work has been satisfactorily carried
out during the past week and every
thing essential was ready when the
Shamrock II. left her berth. Sir
Thomas Upton and Charles Russell
arrived Friday evening and saw the
last touches put to the preparation.
Y. G. jameson and Designer Watson
followed Saturday morning.
Keen interest is shown in the trial
and a large number of yachts and
steamers, crowded with passengers,

While the challenger was prepar-
ing for her first sail the American
line steamer ST. Louis passed her.
There were number of Americans
on board who closely scanned the
challender. On passing the yacht
the steamship slowed down and
saluted. The crews of the Erin
and the two Shamrocks, who were
ranged on their respective decks,
cheered the ST. Louis heartily. Dur
ing the forenoon the breeze steadied
and hardened until fine, crisp north
easter was blowing, sufficient to raise
the white caps. The jib and stay sail
of the challenger were hoisted at an
early hour and when the word was
given to raise the mainsail, the speed
with which it was hoisted from the
deck, in American fashion, demon
strated the hardness of the appli-
ances adopted. The sail is made of
dark, Sea Island cotton and fully
justifies the expectation of it's being
the largest on record. The challenger
hoisted her mainsail at 11:4O a m.
and shortly afterwards slipped her
moorings, and lying over TIL her lee
rail was almost awash went reaching
down Southampton water at pace
that made the Erin drive along at full
speed to keep her in view.

CHEswOLD, Mar. 20th:-The short
hay crop of last year and the general
failure to get a good set of grass for
this years crop has awakened among
our farmers, as perhaps never before,
an interest as to the best time and best
method for spring sewing of clover and
other grass seeds. The past three
weeks has seemingly been largely de-
voted by tillers of the soil to exchang-
ing their varied experiences and views
on this line. Some think our soil here
has become impoverished to clover and
timothy by continued use and needs a
change. Others lay failure to the sea-
son. At all events many farmers are
departing from older methods of apply
ing seed to their fields, as we'll as new
kinds of seed.
Many here have noticed the fact and
wondered why the frogs in swamps are
so late starting up their song this
spring. The song of the robin is sew
eral days in advance of them, which is
said to be very unusual. Some say it
is because our branches have less
water in them than has happened for
years before and his frogship is not
happy in his dry conditions. Our wag
says their silence is caused by bad
colds and ''grippe, from which they
have not yet recovered.
j. H. Anderson is building an addi-
tion to his storehouse which extends
it thirty feet further in the rear. When
completed his store room will have a
width of twenty feet with depth of
seventy-six feet. With an increasing
trade and consequent enlargement of
stock he finds an extension of borders
necessary.

niversary.-The beautiful weather last

drew from his text temperance SER

in thought and earnest in delivery.
