WONDERFUL MAST.
Hollow spars for New Challenger
Marvels of Lightness.

London, March 5.-The hollow steel
mast, which has been made for Sham
rock III, is declared to be the most
remarkable achievement in yacht con-
struction in the United Kingdom. The
workmen who built the spars for all
three challengers say that the mast
for the new boat is 1900 pounds light
err than that of Shamrock II, while the
whole spar is 1900 pounds lighter
than the lower mast Of Shamrock L.
The workbench declare that they do
not see how the steel shell is to with
stand the enormous strain of high
wind, but they admit the designer is
apparently satisfied with the result,
since there is no talk Of building an
extra spar for an emergency. The
gaff and boom are about the same
weight as previous spars.
