Thousands Viewed Reliance Yesterday
at Bristol.
Shamrock III Races Today With Tim.
Allowance Of 10 Minutes.

Thousands Of people tourneyed down TO
Bristol yesterday and fsasted their eyes
upon the new cup defender-that Is those
who we're fortunate enough to procure
rowbosts. for the Reliance as she lay
moored In the slip at the Herreshofr shops
was almost hidden from the view OF those
on shore by the boat shops
She lay moored at the slip In which she
was placed after floating clear OF the big
cradle from which she was launched Sat-
urday.
Yachtsmen who visited Bristol yesterday
were much pleased with the lines OF the
new boat. The decks were bare yester-
day. the decorations used at the launch
ing being turned up over the stem.
The hatches were all In place and most
OF the deck fitting, even TO the Delaying
pins. adjusted In the wake OF the mast
step.
Designer Chas. r. Herreshoff, ID in
viewing the yacht yesterday seemed par
Ucularly impressed with the lines OF the
overhan8. both bow and stern being less
abrupt in their lines than the Constitu-
ton, which many critics have considered
q worthy rival TO the new boat.
In discussing the new boat Mr.. Here
shoff said that Reliance was an improve
ment on the Constitution, in the way OF
having longer and consequently thinner
ends, the feature being moro noticeable
when one looks at the midsection of the
Reliance. which is finer. much different
from that section OF the old boat. The
boat being longer over all, the ends are
drawn out finer than those OF the Consu-
tuition. There being theories advanced
that Reliance has hardly any sheer. De-
siEner Charles r. Herreshoff stated that
there Is just as much sheer in the Re-
lance as In the Constitution only that
the overall length is so much greater the
sheer IL dwarfed to quite an extent Mr..
Herreshoff, who designed the we'll known
racing sloop Nevada for l.. NJ. Inghs of
Glasgow, Scotland, and had the satisfac-
ton OF seeing her win In many races on
the other side OF the Atlantic, when asked
what he thought OF the new Shamrock.
what he heard that she was a good boat.
CROOKS ACTIVE.
Crooks from all parts OF the state
headed for Bristol Saturday and pick.
pockets were busy plying their vocation.
r. II. l. Gammell was relieved OF a
$1,000 scarf pin. probably while standing on
the south wharf OF the Herreshoff shops
at the time OF the launching.
Mr.. Gammell remembers having the pin
in his possession when leaving the tender
Sunbeam, but after boarding the Con-
solidated train for this city he noticed
that the pin was missing The loss was
instantly reported and search was made
