BOTH MEN NOW TRAINING

IT was definitely settled yesterday that
July , viii be the date of the meeting
between Herrera and Downing for
their contest at the ball park. It was
thought by Managers Biddy and
James Bishop that this date would be
the most suitable. as everyone would
be busy the night before July and
could not therefore get a chance to
see the men go Work upon the con-
strUctiOn of a ring viii be commenced
Monday and will be completed in
plenty Of time. 1t is the intention Of
the management to have q seating ca
pacity of at least 5000 and have the
place highly illuminated with power

done, owing to the location of the
Srand stand 50 everyone can get

Herrera is doing his training at
ThOmpsOn's gymnasium, and stated
last evening that he would have no
trouble whatever in getting in first

FIRST TRIAL IN
AMERICAN WATER
Shamrock Takes a Spin Down
Jersey Coast.
SHOWS REMARKABLE SPEED
BEATS SHAMROCK I TEN MIN
UTES IN FIFTEEN MILES.

New York, June 27-Sir Thomas
Lipton's new cup challenger. Shamrock
III, was given her first test in Amer
lean waters today in an informal trial
with the Shamrock of Sandy Hook.
In the first ten miles OF a fifteen-mile
beat to windward IN a very light air,
the new boat beat the old one about
ten minutes, and in a run of fifteen
miles to leeward, nine minutes
There was a long, gentle sea and the
new challenger slipped cleanly over 1t,
making little fuss under her bow
Taking into consideration the asSer-
ton by English yachtsmen that the
Shamrock L is ten minutes faster
IL a thirty-mile course than she ever
was, and fully as much faster than the
Shamrock IL the new boats first per
Torrance on this side of the Atlantic
marks her as probably the most dan
gerOus challenger Sir Thomas has
brought over. In light air and
smooth water she showed herself TO
be very fast. The chief purpose of the
trial was to stretch the sails and re-
sumo the tuning up process.
Sir Thomas and Designer Fife were
aboard the Shamrock III. and Colonel
NELL sailed on the Shamrock / when
the yachts started to beat seward
against a four-knOt wind. The Sham
rock III was slightly in the lead at
the start and began at once to- add to
it. The new boat pointed higher and
footed faster than the Shamrock l.
They headed out to sea for more than
two hours and during all that time
the Shamrock III gained steadily. At
2:45, when the challenger was leading
the Shamrock I by ten minutes, the
Shamrock III turned about and ran
back to rejOin the other. Crossing the
wake Of the old boat. the Shamrock
c-Tr- n r-ear1N
off for a five-mile run at a fast clip
down along the Jersey coast.
AS the Shamrock I did not keep in
close company with the new boat
there was no opportunity to compare
the boats on that point of sailing The
Shamrock III had passed Long Branch
several miles OF shore when, at 5-4U,
both boats came about. starting close
together, started for Sandy Hook with
spinnakers set. Before a light wind
they ran fifteen miles along the coast
to the Scotland lightship and were sa-
luted by passing steamers.
The Shamrock III quickly began to
gain on her trial horse and in an
hours sailing and when the boats
had covered about half the course had
established a lead of nearly half
mile. This is called the best point of
sailing for the older boat.
The Shamrock III passed the light
ship at 5:52, while the eX-chauenger
was about a mile astern. The Sham
rock reached the lightship at 6-01,
but had lost time by taking in her
spinnaker before reaching the finish.
The fleet anchored at Sandy Hook
The ShamrOcks will go out again on
Monday.

club as racing trophy. 1t is in
