That fact was apparent yesterday. The
challenger sailed beautifully until her
advantage was too palpable and then
she was hauled in. Another time she
threatened to go through the weather
and suddenly without any explanation
was hauled in to the wind and held
back. The London dispatches had no
compunctions in stating, that had the
challenger desired, she could have won
from the old boat At any rate there
does not seem to be much lamentation
on the part of the British. There was
at first, but that was before they got an
inkling bf what was going on. Now
there is no comment or criticism.
Anent the pulling" of a yacht it
might be stated that little fattening
of the mainsail, a point off the course
il. steering. a slight amount of negli-
gence in the setting of the staysails,
could mean the loss of ten minutes in a
run over twenty mile course, and
would convey the impression to yachting
folk on this side that victory over the
new challenger would be achieved SO
easily as hardly to be worth working
earnestly to obtain. This would lead to
a disregard for the usual precautions
and would find the Constitutions
handlers on the day of the trial in care
less cOnultlON. Inc teStS however,
would have been of full worth to the
men in charge of the second Shamrock
and the speedy sloOp would have an
advantage hard to overcome.
For this reason it is we'll for the men
in charge of the Constitution to look
somewhat askant at the trials now TAX
ing place in British waters. No matter
what the present tests may show, 1T is
not wise to base any estimate of the
American yachts chance upon the VIC
tories of the first Shamrock over the
second of that name. No unwise gloat-
ing should disturb the even, placid
| course of the public mind at this time,
and the race between the two sloops
should be entered upon as seriously as
if the new Upton boat had been shown
tn be an easy victor over her home rival.
This is no time to take chances, II the
cup is to be kept on this side of the
water.

CHICAGO CYCLISTS WILL MAKE A
BICYCLE TOUR TO lnE PAN
AMERICAN EXPOSITION.

At the last meeting of the Associated
Cycling clubs of Chicago, Buhley B.
Ayers was appointed chairman of a COM
mittee whose object is to organize
cycling tour to Buffalo, for the purpose
of visiting the Pan-American exposition.
Under the management of Mr.. Ayers,
the organizer and manager of those sue
cessful and still famous touring parties,
the Chicago Cycle club tour from Chi
cago to Buffalo in 1888, the Niagara to
Boston, tour in 1884 and the Big Four"
tour from Buffalo to New York in 1855,
the tour Of the Associated Cycling clubs
can not fail to be grand success.
The plan formulated by the Touring
committee for the trip to Buffalo is as
follows: The whole time consumed will
be two weeks, including the time spent
in visiting the n-American exposi-
ton.
The ruote contemplated is that from Chi
cago to Grand Haven by boat; from
there. by wheel, to Detroit and thence

Shamrock II. has again been defeated
by the old challenger and now the
yachting world and the public in gen.
eral, are puzzled. 1t is difficult for them
to- understand the why's and wherefores
Of the defeats. They had looked for
something entirely different had never
supposed that the original Shamrock
could outsail the new and now they ara
face to face with the intelligence that
the old boat has outsailed the single
sticker built by Sir Thomas Upton, for
the avowed purpose of taking the
Americas cup from this side of the
water.
What puzzles most, is how Sir Thomas
expects to out sail the Constitution when
his new yacht apparently is outclassed
by the boat drubbed by the Columbia
two years ago. The concensus of opinion
is that it will be useless to bring the
challenger across the ocean for a race.
To most people the race for the cup has
already been decided They figure that
the Constitution can not lose. That is
where the public is wrong.
This is no time to be unduly elatcd
over the reports from across the
pond of the Shamrocks poor Show
ing. There are tricks in all trades
and yachting is no exception. Moreover
Sir Thomas is not bound by any moral
obligation to give any one line on his
craft. The fact that the new boat has
been beaten in fair and foul weather
does not necessarily mean that the old
boat is the better. What nice scheme
1t would be to create the impression that
the Shamrock II. is poor specimen of
the shipbuilders art. That would in
cline the Constitution folk to careless
ness and over confidence which on many
occasions have caused the loss of battles
on sea and land.
1t must be understood that a yacht
can be pulled" as easily as race horse.

In a dying-out westerly breeze, she

In the afternoon good Southwestern sent
her scudding about the bay in a lively
fashion, with little fuss and scarcely any
feathery foam under her smooth bow or
in her clean wake.
Every point of sailing was tried. She
was hauled fat on the wind, thrown
about half a dozen times, given a good
broad reach and finally sent home before
the wind with her boom off to port. an!
at no time did she act listless or show
any lack of speed.
1t was builders trial and confined to
six or seven miles of deep water below
Bristol harbor, no attempt being made
to show her off to the Newport colony,
but merely to give her designer a chance
to see that she was all that he meant
her to be, and in every respect she
equaled his expectations.
The yacht has not yet been turned
over to her owners, as there is still some
light work to be done on some of the
rigging and inside. 1t is probable that
she will formally be placed in commission
at Newport late in the week. A critical
analysis Of the boat is that she is we'll
balanced and we'll rugged, but her sails
need Improvement. AS to her speed, it is
too early to draw any conclusion.
