New Boat q Winner.

Ryde. Isle of Wight, May 20 The two
Shamrocks have now zach won race In
the two sailed to finish thus far, not
counting tho preliminary spins and in
formal trials. Shamrock II won today
by about one minute over an open sea
course, tina first leg OF which was q beat
from Calshot Castle to o mark outside
the Nab Lightsh,p. The wind was steady
from the east and was blowing a club
,opsail breeze. As is usual In these trials
the maneuvering and working between
marks were much more instructive than
the timings taken at the turning points.
From startto finish tho race was with
out lluke The challengers loss in tho
beginning was due to the fact that the
sails were not sheeted home, and the
manner In which she caught the OK
challenger in crosstacking suggests what
will probably ,.b ; come with eYn more credit
Sir Thomas Upton, In the course OF an
Interview after the race, admit cd that he
had felt some disappointment In the early
part OF the contest. but said the manner
in which the Shamrock II gathered on the
old boat after she got into proper trim
had quite restored bis confidence.
Mr.. Jameson expressed himself an
the Shamrock II had shown undor the
new mainsail and as satisfied that she
would yet show considerable improve
ment.
Both boats were expected to come to tho
llus in perfect trims. but on Mr.. Wats0ns
boat the was difficulty In fitting the
new gaff. and she sailed at least one third
the first long beat to windward before
the proper trim for her sheets was found.
The breeze was good, and the rate OF
travelling such as would have coversd the
Americans Cup course In about four
hours,
