OLD BOAT A WINNER.
Shamrock I. Takes the Race on Time
Allowance.

Allowance.
. Weymouth. April 13.-The first con.
test of the challenger for the Amer
ica's cup under actual racing condi-
ticns was distinctly disappointing to
those who eXulted so much at the re.
suits of the preliminary trials. The
Shamrock l. won on her handicap al
lowance, the new craft only beating
her six and half minutes over a
course thirty-four miles long. On the
first half of the course the challenger
outsailed the older boat handsomely,
but in the fresher wind on the second
turn she little more than held her
own. This was only partially explained
by fluke Of wind which favored the
Shamrock I. and enabled her to gain
considerable ground on the second
beat.
The Shamrock l. was fouled by a
steam yacht when half way through
the second run to Lulworth cove. Her
spinnaker boom and the steam yachts
bowsprit we're both carried away. but
the sailing yacht escaped other injury.
