SHAMROCK III HAS ARRIVED
SAFE AND SOUND ON THIS SIDE
OF ATLANTIC.
Towed Over by the Steam Yacht Erin
Shamrock |. Also Came-156 Men
but Received No Damage-Hearty
Reception Given Off Sandy Hook.

New York, June 15.-Safe and
Gourock, Scotland, of IL days and 22
hours, Sir Thomas lipton's latest chal,
ienger for the Americas cup, the
Shamrock H., is now lying at anchor
of TompkinsvilIe, S. l. She arrived
IN company with the steam yacht Erin,
that had towed her most Of the way
across the Atlantic, and by the Sham
rock l., towed by the British tug
Cruiser. The 1856 men which manned
the yachts and their conveys are all
well. and there were on accidents to
mar the passage.
Between Gourock and Fayal, Azores,
where the steamers stopped for coal,
Gains and squally weather were en-
countered. The Erin and her tow be-
came separated from the Cruiser and
the Shamrock I. before reaching Fayal,
out they never lost sight of each other
after leaving there. On June II the
yachts were caught in gale from the
southeast and while it blew very hard
and heavy sea was running, very lit
tie water was shipped and no damage
was done.
The tug Charles e. Matthews, in
charge of II. H. Davies, met the yachts
at daylight, 20 miles east of Sandy
Hook lightship. Pilots were put on
board the Erin at sea and the Mat
thews towed Shamrock III. to Quaran.
Ia, 7 ~,
the Cruiser.
The yachts passed Sandy Hook
lightship soon after a. m. They
were saluted by every vessel that pass
ed them all the way to Quarantine.
When they arrived there the crews
Of the yachts gave three cheers for
each other as they stood lined up on
deck Both yachts flew the pennant
of the Royal Ulster Yacht club.
The new challenger is by far more
handsome than either the Shamrock
l. or Shamrock II. She looks not un-
like the Columbia above the water
line and her beam seems greater than
either of those yachts. She tows
easily, making very little broken wa
ter at the bow and leaving a clean
wake. Her captain, Robert Wringe
says she behaved splendidly under all
conditions of weather during the pas
sage across the Atlantic. She is rig
yed with short bowsprit and
topmast over a stout lower mast
The Shamrock I. has the same rig
with the addition Of jigger mast aft
The latter steers with tiller and
the former with a small wheel.

the hard and frequent showers of the
spring. Where brooders are used this
trouble is obviated, but, on the other
hand, the chicks ought to be given
some of the freedom of outdoors as
early as possible, so that even brooder-
raised chicks ought to have run in
the open air. The illustration shows
design for coop with covered run
attached which will prevent any trou-
bic with the chicks. This run may be
made so as to attach it to the coop
when desired, and may be Of any
desired dimensions. 1t consists simply
Of light frame covered with muslin,
the frame being built on slant in
the way shown in the cut. BY having
hooks at each corner and eyes screwed
into the corners Of the coop this frame
may be attached In moment. If the
day looks stormy, simply attach this
covered run to the coop, and you will
then be certain that no harm will come
to the chicks should a sudden and
hard shower come up.
