that in the future the races should be
held on consecutive days. not counting
Sunday. In addition there came the re-
quest from George L. Watson, the de-
signer Of the Shamrock II, for a re-
measurement because Of his intentions
to TAX out ballast before tomorrow's
race. On the first proposition an agree
ment was finally reached between the
challenge committees Of the clubs for
a race every day, but on the second.
Mr.. Watson, after further CONSIDERING
the matter decided to let IL drop and
the yacht will sail tomorrow with ex.
atty the same amount OF ballast which
she has carried in previous races. This

About noon IL was learned at the club
that those in charge OF the Shamrock
