NEW YORK. August 24.-The loca
weather bureau is in receipt OF the follow
ing from Washington:
ITO Observer, New York:
1.-The winds Tuesday over the interna
tional yacht race course will be light tt
fresh and variable. though mostly from
possibly showers.
(Signed) ''FRANKENFIELD."
The Shamrock Ill was remeasured at tht
dry dock in Erie basin early today, aftel
having taken on board her cable and an
chor, as required by the rules affecting ths
measurement Of the cup yachts.
Sir Thomas Upton was on board.
Shamrock's Measurement.
The measurement was taken by Charles
D. Mower. official measurer of the New
York Yacht Club, and watched by Mr.
Fife. representing Shamrock III, and by
Secretary Carmack, representing the New
York Yacht Club When the measurement
was completed Sir Thomas Upton said
that he had been informed by Mr.. Mower
that Shamrock Ills racing rank had not
been affected and that 1t would be un.
changed. 1t Is presumed that sufficient
weight was removed to eQualize the weight
of the anchor and cable.
Secretary Carmack OF the New York
Yacht Club today announced the following
figures as the new measurements of Sham
rock III:
Length on the load water line, 89.7S;
sailing length. 1O4375. These figures show
that Shamrock III does not exceed the 90
foot limit on the water-line length. and also
that there Is a difference of barely five one
thousandths Of a foot on the length, which
would not affect the time allowance more
than very small fraction of second.
The time allowance therefore stands at
minute and 81 seconds. in accordance with
the first measurement"
The Reliance was taken out for sail
at 10 o'clock this morning. The boat sailed
out of the horseshoe with mainsail and
lower headsails set.
oliver Isehn Talks
1.-The cup is never won until the best boat
has taken three races said c. Oliver Ise-
lin today just before getting aboard ths
Reliance.
ASKED whether he thought the remeas-
urement of the Shamrock would have any
effect on the future races, he said:
II know no more about it than you do.
The fact is that attention was called to
the matter of the absence of the anchor
and chain, not so much on account of its
effect on any racing, as to follow absolutely
the rules.
'Sir Thomas would have felt it much
more keenly If the issue had been raised
after he had won a race"
Mr.. Iselin would not discuss the race of
Saturday or the criticisms raised concern
ing the sailing of the Shamrock further
than to say:
Both Well Handled.
"Both boats were well handled"
The bay inside the Hook was compare
lively deserted today except for the pres
ence of the Reliance and her tender. 1t
was not a good day for racing.
The wind was fluky from north and east.
very variable and not strong enough to get
the boats over the course in time had 1t
been q race day.
The Reliance stood out beyond the Hook
with her mainsail. club topsail, jib and
staysail set. She tackled out to windward,
evidently stretching her sails.
After she had been out a half hour a new
Uh was tried, and 1t was evident that the
boat was out for the purpose Of trying
some new sails.
Reliance Holds Back.
At 11:10 Reliance headed back to the
point and making several short boards
pointed back to her moorings, club topsail
being taken in. She came about and picked
up her moorings at 11:S6
