SHAMROCK AGAIN WINS.
Takes Another Easy Little Brush from
the First CHALLENGER.

Weymouth, Eng, April 14.-A race of 16
miles to leeward from off Weymouth and
beat back, was laid out for the Sham
rocks, today. When the boats got outside
the shelter of the breakwater the wind
came in hard gusts and the yachts seemed
to have all they could stagger under and
required an occasional huff up to ease
them. The strain found weak spot in
the Shamrock HIS peak halyard gear. A
man was sent aloft and on his report the
yacht fetched into sheltered water and
anchored. All her sail was then dropped
on deck. The Shamrock l also anchored
and dropped her head sails.
The wind subsequently softened and the
boats were sent off on a trial spin to lee
ward and return. There was no formal
start. The Shamrock 1 led by a length
but the new boat in few moments closed
up the gap and ran clear ahead. Club top
sails were added as the yachts went down
the wind and the challenger spun out a
constant lead .-.
The Things after 10 miles run were as
follows: Shamrock III, 2.24.03; Shamrock
I, 2.26.2S
AS the Shamrocks went about for the
beat home they met a bigger sea than the
cndllenSer nau ever previously faced. She
took it smoothly and well, however, and a
couple of short tacks sufficed to convince
those on board of her that she could easily
outsail the Shamrock under these con-
ditions.
The Shamrock III then bore away and
ran back for fresh start She came about
close on the weather beam of the Sham
rock 1 and they started together on the
windward beat. Neither wind nor sea
seemed to trouble the challenger. She
sailed fast and high in the wind. making
about a quarter of a mile dead to the
windward in 20 minutes sailing.
Having determined the challengers SUI
periority in both pointingand sailing,
Capt. Wringe refrained from pushing his
victory home. The challenger was sailed
off and on the wind. beating away at times
till the wind was almost abeam and huff
ing at others till her head sails quivered.
She probably lost n couple of minutes in
this way, and even then the challenger
scored handsomely, beating the Shamrock
over six minutes in an hours windward
work.
The times at the finish were: Shamrock

Word comes from Australia that the
eighteen hens sent from the United
States to compete with the hens of
that land in an egg laying contest have
ilistaneed their rivals and are still lay
ing, says a Chicago special TO the New
York Times.
Three eoops Of six hens each were
sent from Chicago in February and ar
rived in sydney on March Is after a
particularly trying voyage. They were
immediately set to laying in competi-
ton with some sixty-fye others.
Miller Purvis, editor Of Commercial
Poultry, recently received a report of
the progress OF the contest from A. A.
Dunnicllffe, Jr.. Of the sydney Tele-
graph. The report states that the
three pens Of American hens stand
first, second aud fourth respectively on
the tally sheet, the leaders having such
a start of their rivals that 1t Is doubt
full if the latter can catch up. The con
test will last one year, and the owners
