THE MEASUREMENTS
MADE YESTERDAY
Two c Contestants Swing LaziIy at Their
Moorings inside Sandy Hook and
Are Ready for the First Race
for the American Cup,
Which viii Be Held
on Thursday.
(By Associated Prcss.)

NEW YORK. August 1S-The Reliance
and Shamrock III. were measured to-
day in the Erie Basin by Z. =. Mower,
the Official measurer OF the New York
Yacht Club. AS the result OF his measure
mcnts and calculations, 1t was announced
tonight at the yacht club that the Re-
lance would allow the challenger ono
minute and forty-fIvo seconds over a
thirty mile course.
It was found that the Shamrock III.
was slightly longer on the water line than
the American boat, but the latter proved
to have nearly two thousand more square
feet OF sail area than the challenger, and
1t was this enormous sail spread that
taxed the American boat so heavily II
Tho announcement caused little sur
prise at the yacht club, as It was the very
general belief that the Reliance would
prove considera bly, larger all around than
4 her opponent. The following are the off,

The Reliance and Shamrock III. swung
lazily at their moorings inside Sandy
Hook tonight. ready for the international
contest for the America cup. the first race
OF which will be sailed on Thursday. The
day was one Of exceeding interest to all
directly Interested In the International
race, being devoted TO the official meas
uring and final grooming of both yachts.
The cleaning Of the underbodies OF both
was completed this morning, and Charles
D. Mower. the official measurer OF the
New York Yacht Club, stretched his steel
tape from truck to deck, and from end of
the bowsprIt to the after overhang OF both
racers.
AS one result about eight inches of the
end OF tho splnnaker boom OF the Sham
rock III was sawed off owing to the
fact that It was estimated to be that
much longer than the base OF the forward
triangle. 'h5
