THE SHAMROCK ABOUT READY
CHALLENGER TO FLOAT IN ERIE BASIN
TO-DAY-MANY VIEW HER.

With her fin all polished and her hull all reaoy
for the races, the Shamrock will hoat IN Ere
Basin before noon to-day. Nothing remains 10 DC
dcne to the body of the cup challenger except TO
put few finishing touches to her underbody ana
to paint the narrow margin that lies between the
deck and the surface of the water when the boat
is ahoat.
All day yesterday TIE workmen rubbed and
scrubbed with emery paper and OIL and as tAH
rays of the setting shone on the bronze metal
IT'S reflection was thrown back upon the half
thousand spectators present.
Restrictions that prevailed during the exposure
of the underwater lines of some Of the former
challengers were not in force with the present
challenger There were watchmen at the gate OF
the shpyard. but their ofice was merely to keep
out undesirable persons

on work in the yard went home and the yard
was closed, they came II wise looks ana KNOW

were almost many yacht sharps as there We're
ordinary visitors. Both sides of the dock IN whch
the Shamrock lay were lined with men who twisted
their necks pointed their fingers and described
curves with their hands making at the same time
observations that were in many cases solely to
impress hearers with the yachting knowledge OF the
speakers Fin keel. bulb lines, curves, counter
strake boom. bowsprit, gaff stays-an We're de-
scribed in words nautical and unnautical There
were Of course, some who knew yacht and who
could speak Of the Shamrock intellgently. Com
ments by these differed practically in nothing from
the general verdict OF the day before-that the
Shamrock is a beauty and will make our fastest
boat sail her best to keep the Cup in this country
Meanwhile the workmen rubbed and rubbed,
grooming the nautical racing machine as though
she were a thoroughbred preparing to start in the
race Of her life. On deck labored the crew. The
spars received a new coat of paint, which made
them look bright and fresh Some of the litter that
has incumbered the deck cleared away but
much still remains to be done toward tidying up.
The officers absent, TO see the races at Larch
mont.
The Shamrock will be towed to an anchorage OF
Stapleton. Staten Island where her sails will be
fitted On Monday she will go to the Horseshoe,
where place has been prepared for her, and on
Tuesday perhaps, she will sail out some distance
in the hope of warming the heart and delighting
the eye of her owner. Sir Thomas Upton, who Is
expected TO arrive that day the TeutOnic. The
first trial spin OF the Shamrock will take place on
Wednesday if conditions are favorable.

OF the anthracite coal miners earlier in the year
was concluded with unusual Dispatch because
both sides induced to assume a concilia-
tory attitude. In the main the lot Of the work
ingman has latterly been reasonably happy
one. There has been work In plenty, and in the
main wages have been such as to give no cause
for discomfort Furthermore. the future looks
bright There IS no prospec: Of a decline in in
dustrial activity so that steady work with good
pay is practically certain as far ahead as calcu-
lations reach. The necessaries Of life are
not unduly high. Some things indeed, have
been cheapened by the reduced cost of produc-
ton. Accordingly, these are times when the
workingman may live well and also lay aside
for rainy day.
Considering that this is the season of heavy
consumption of sugar. It is somewhat surprising
that the drift of prices IS downward. The rea-
son apparently is that supplies of raw sugar
have been large, and the resners have been
working AT nearly their full capacity SO that
the output has been in excess of the consump-
tion demanded. Nevertheless the margin be-
tween raw and refined sugar has been so wide
that the profit In refining has been handsome
IT is said that the last year has been one OF
the most profitable in the history of the trade
Still lower prices for coffee are regarded 90
likely. The efforts OF the combination formed
several months ago to put up prices have thus
far come to naught. There are immensa stores
at the accumuative points, and the new crop

fore. are that the combination will have to close
Its venture with loss. The drygoods trade
is once more in splendid shape and this Is
naturally true Of cotton goods The market for
cotton goods has been denuded, and the entire
production OF the mills for many months to
come has been engaged Marked activity is de-
veloping in woollen goods. August is considered
