Concensus of Opinion That Lipton's
Yacht is Handsome and Looks
Fast-Boat Wins Admiration
Of Visitors-Will be Dry
Docked and Her Hull
Scraped-The Boat
Described.
(By Associated Press

10Y ASsocldleu f'F6SS.)
New York, Aug. 13.--Shamrock H. as
che lay at anchor off Stapleton. 5. l.,
yesterday, had many visitors. She was
examined by the nautical experts and
the general verdict was that she looked
handsome. But the easy and graceful
lines of a racing yacht above the
water line are not the factors that
produce the speed that wins prizes, say
the experts. 1t is the form of the craft
below the water line, the shape of the
under body, in fact. that does success
full work in the way of lifting cups.
That the Shamrock II is by far the
handsomest and most graceful yacht
that has ever challenged for the Amer
ica's cup must be conceded by all. She
easily outclasses the Shamrock. The
Shamrock I had an ugly. coarse bow
that used to pound and batter the
water whenever the senblanec of a
hard sea was raised.
The bow Of the Shamrock II reminds
one Of that of the Columbia. 1t has
vo~. -4~n ting power, and will divide
the water with ease. The whole fore
body Of the challenger shows a clever
adaptation and skillful modification of
the forward sections of all the good
parts of the Watson and Fife and Her.
1eschoff crea tions.
The stern, too. tapers gracefully. The
graceful way in which Mr.. Watson has
disposed of the great beam of the chal-
lenger. the factor which. in combina-
ton with her 80 tons Of lead gives her
immense sail carrying power is in
deed a wonder of navy architecture.
The beauty of the lines and facility OF
the curve lead one to believe that the
underbody has some surprises in store.
To the rail or other covering of the
boat, for rail she has not. the Sham
rock II has all the attributes Of a rae
ing yacht. She will cut the water clear
ly and she will leave but little fuss be-
hind. That is all that can he pre-
dicted of a boat whose mysteries Of
power have been concealed from the
vulgar.
When she was launched a pontoon
disguised her. Ever since special eff

Abe Attel Will Accept.

Abe Attel has heard about Gill
feathers sweeping challenge to- fight
him for side bet of $500, says the San
Francisco Bulletin. Writing from
Denver, where he is all the peaches,
Abe says nothing could give him great
er pleasure than affixing his name to a
set of articles with eGilfeather. Abe
expresses hope that some club here
will make bid for the match, which
will be worth his attention, and that
Gilfeathers hacker will not be struck
with a case Of cold feet the last min
ute. According to the Denver papers
Abe should have had the decision
against Williams who stuck four
rounds with him the night Broad and

out-pointed his man in every round,
but the referee called 1t draw be-

RACING AND s% %ss BASE DANIEL iv1. BALI ,.. aa :.
EXPERTS C0NCEDE SHAMROCK L
TO BE A DANGEROUS CHALLENGER

, forts have been made to hide her from
profane vision. There are few
things. however that cannot be hid
den. She has the same powerful bow
spirit fittings that characterized the
two Valkyries. the same dock purchases
for fiattening in sheets, the same turn
buckles for setting up the standing
rigging that have been features of the
Watson boats from the days of the
Thistedown to date.
She steers with tiller. and from all
that can be gathered from the con-
sentative men aboard her. she is an ex-
celently balanced boat, always under
helsman's control and never showing a
tendency to the charge of herself in a
brisk sQuall.
Captain Sycamore says she has been
improving all along. The skipper is a
modest man, and when the tug led the
Shamrock II into Erie basin a little af-
ter o'clock yesterday afternoon big
crowd welcomed the Irish yacht. Mr..
Barrie who looks after Sir Thomas in
terests, was in charge of her.
Arrangements for taking out the jury
masts of the Shamrock II were made
for today. Then the racing mast will
be stepped-that gigantic SPAR lower
mast and topmast combined. the like of
Wn1cn never De1Oro mas Deeu seen OH d
single masted craft. After this the
yacht will be put into drydock and the
accumulation of seaweed and barnacles
removed.
Judging from superficial observation,
there is little marine growth on her
hull In her starboard bow there is a
big patch where the bright green paint
of her top spar has slipped off as clear
as though a sharp scraper had been at
work. Otherwise the craft seems to
be clear.
The jury rig under which the yacht
crossed was evidently intended for tow
ing. The gaff topsail, loose footed at
that, had very little putting power.
The ~."roc topmast was only capable
of setting mere rag of sail and the
square sail yard dashed on the port side
of the deck had never sail bent to 1t.
No bowsprit and no jigger mast were
there to offset obstacles to the crew,
All sails. were set and taken without
difficulty. After the steam yacht Erin
has been put in dry dock the Shamrock
II will be hauled out for cleaning. Then,
and not until then. will the shape OF the
challenger be revealed to the public
eye.

Watching Wade Train.

Jack Wade's training quarters at the
Quartz Street fire hall are visited daily
by any number of sport enthusiasts
who are interested in the coming box
ing contest, for exercise. between the
Helena lad kid" Oglesby. Each day
the number of visitors increases which
is a very good indication that Wade is
making friends fast. Those who have
seen him at work are loud in their
praise of him andrit is safe to predict
that he will have a legion of staunch
cohorts when he meets Oglesby in the
roped arean Monday night next at the
saucer track. Wade is in excellent con-
dition las is shown by his work. He in
variably winds Young" Thomas, his
training partner, in their road work and
when it comes to sparring. those who
go against Wade have all they can do
to keep their feet. His bag punching is
as pretty an exhibition as any one
could wish to see. Everything con-
sidered there is no reason why Wade's
stock should not go up III the coming
contest.

DARED TO DIsOBEY.
A New Mayorality Candidate.
Mr.. Allison Holds a Little
Caucus of His Own,

There is frenzy almost to madness in
the hearts and minds OF some Of the
erstwhile leaders in the politics of this
city.
A few days ago petition was placed
in circulation to petition upon the ticket
the nance Of j. NJ. Sampliner for mayor,
Sam Waldrup, for alderman from the
fret; W. P. Dale, from the second; Mel
son Hards, from the third; and james
Silcox, from the fourth.
In the naming of this ticket, M. L
Allison didn't have any say and he and
his friends were disturbed about the
matter right from the jump. Something
must be done. 30 gathering some few OF
his old guard about him he attempted to
hold caucus, convention, or star chamber
proceeding. or something Of that kind, in
order to voice his disapproval.
At tho meeting, which was held at the
city hall in the council chamber, another
ticket WAS named. 1t is said that there
were some high words even there, one to
another, and one fellow WAS 80 discour-
teous to Mr.. Allison ~ to say, go it is
said. that he was "back number" q
"has besn," and that he would about az
lief have his enmity as his friendship.
Well, q ticket was named. 1t 10 the
same ticket a. given above, with the e1.
ception that j. N Sampliner was not on
it as a candidate for mayor. Sampliner
was the man whom it WIS inteneed Ia
discipline for presuming to accept nom.
ination without permission, but it looks
~ il Mr.. Sampliner doesn't propose to bs
disciplined.
This morning there was excitement all
along the line. The party named for
mayor in place OF Mr.. Sampliner was j.
8. Carnahan. When Mr.. Sampliner
came to his place OF business Mr.. Allison
was waiting for him aud hurriedly took
him 70 ths stoss q A. n. Buckl,n whers
ssvssta ssnelsss pSes held. doabtless
with the pufpose of getting Mr.. Samp.
liner to withdraw, but they did not suc-
coed, and today things are at q high ton.
sion. Mr.. Sampliner says he is on the
ticket to stay and so do his friends. They
say it matters little to them whether Mr..
Allison 10 for them or against them; in
fact, they are free to say he cuts little or
no ice.
Tomorrow = convention is called to
place ticket in the fold by the demo-
crats. What that convention will do will
doubtless determine several things that
are now in q chaotic state.
