TWO SHAMRocKS CONTEST.
The Challenger Apparently Makes
the Rest Showing.


Ryde. Isle of Wight. May 2O.-The two
Shamrocks started this morning for
race over an open sea course. The wind
was steady from the east and was blow
ing a club top sail breeze.
The Shamrock / had the advantage of
the challenger. When they tackled, half
an hour later, neither yacht had gained
any advantage.
Turning at the weather mark. the boats
started sheets and reached along the wind
for an isle shore breeze Soon after the
yachts jibed around the Erin, still in
close company, but the Shamrock II
leading. The challenger was first 10
cross the line. The time at the finish was:
Shamrock II, 4:01:5O.
Shamrock I, 402:N.
On this course they had fair test of
beating to windward and reaching free
on both tacks.
For the purpose OF testing the yachts
down the wind booms were squared
away and spinnakers were set for a fin
ishing trial before the wind. The Sham
rock II continued to hold the lead which
she had gained over the triangular
course. The challenger passed the War
ner leading by three minutes and four
seconds From there home the wind was
soft and catchy and the gap was repeat
edly closed and opened as they ran for
their moorings.
From start to finish the race was with
out a huke. The chaengers loss in the
beginning was due to the fact that the
sails were not then sheeted home and
the manner in which she caught the ex-
challenger in cross-tao7king suggests that
she will probably come with even more
credit from future trials.
