August Belmont, managing owner

BROOKLYN, June 16.-Shamrock
I'LL, Britain's latest and best flier of
the seas, has finished her long journey
across the big pond and was warped
alongside the main pier in Erie basin
dry dock Almost exactly a half hour
later there was a second blowing of
whistles and ringing of bells, and
Shamrock L., in tow of the ocean tug
Cruizer, poked her nose around the end
of the pier and was made fast.
1t was the first family reunion of the
Shamrocks l., II. and III. While the
travellers rode gracefully and easily
upon the smooth surface of the basin
and the dark tanned seamen hustled
about on their decks, making ready to
put on their summer suits, Shamrock
H., only two years ago the center of at
tention, stood high and dry, her shape
ly hull and lean spars clear against the
leaden sky, only 200 yards away, alone
and neglected
There was something pathetic in a
cold, material sort of way in the atti-
tude of Shamrock III. 1t does not re-
quire vivid Imagination to endow
racing yacht with personality, and so
it seemed only natural to look up at
Shamrock ii. to see how she would re-
ceive the new sister who has supplant-
ed her in the consideration and esteem
of Sir Thomas, the master of them all.
From the pier where lay Shamrock III.
and Shamrock l. there was in the look
of Shamrock H., with her nose turned
up in profile against the sky, all the
pride and reserve, not to say resent
ment of supplanted actress who
watches the performance of her sue
cessor from an upper box.
But figures of speech cannot lift the
cup, and the old time captains and sea-
men who stood on the pier and looked
the ''new boat over as she bobbed
gently on the low swell made their cal
culations in lines, angles and measure
ments. The general verdict was:
"She's the best and fastest yet, but
not quite fast enough"
