Guest Will Work His Passage.

Among Sir Thomas Liptons guests on
the Erin were Col. Neill and the Earl OF
Hardwicke. The latter will transfer to
the Shamrock at the Azores. and work
his passage as an able seaman for the
rest of the voyage. He said he hoped
to make good and to be given a -perma-
nent job as a member of the Shamrock s
racing crew.
The Earl of Hardwicke has led an ad-
venturous life as a cowboy in Texas and
as a miner In Montana. He comes from
a seafaring family, and is very keen on
yachting.
The people Of Gosport presented the
challenger with a model of a parrot as a
mascot. and this will be perched on the
bowsprit while the yacht is crossing the
ocean. The Shamrock also carries a
number Of toy monkeys and other objects
sent as maScots.

SHAMROCK " BEGINS
VOYAGE ACROSS OCEAN
Challenger to Be Conveyed by Sir
Thomas Lipton's Steam
Yacht Erin.

PORTSMOUTH, England. July 49,
Shamrock ", Sir Thomas Lipton's chal-
lenger for the Americas cup. under con-
voy of the steam yacht Erin, sailed this
afternoon for Falmouth. whence she will
start for the United States.
The challenger. painted pea green, with
her stumpy rig. temporary high rails for
the protection of her crew and hfeboats
on her decks. presented by no means the
smart appearance she displayed while
racing. She looked shipshape, however.
It had been intended to sail the Sham
rock past the royal yacht for the In
spection of his majesty before her de-
parture. but a change in the program
was brought about by the postponement
of the arrival of King George for the re-
view of the British fleet.
The yacht passed through the lines of
the fleet lying here and was given a
hearty send-of by the warships. excur-
sion steamers and yachts, which wished
her good luck by sounding their sirens,
while many of the craft hoisted shamrock
flags at their mastheads.
Rerigged for Voyage.
The Shamrock " has been rigged as a
ketch for her voyage across the Atlantic
and will carry only half of her racing
crew of thirty men. Charles E. Nfchol-
son. the designer: William P. Burton,
who is to be the racing skipper. and
Capt. Turner. who will act as skipper
during the voyage. will be on board the
yacht. The remainder Of the crew will
be OH Sir Thomas steam yacht Erin,
which will act as convoy and will, in case
of necessity, tow the Shamrock ".
The problem of getting the Shamrock
across the Atlantic under her own sail is
almost as great as that of racing her.
and the ships builders and crew have
been busy with preparations since the
last trial spin.
The single mast. which looks so large

by contrast with the small hull, has been
shortened by the removal of the top
mast, and a second small mast erected
far aft to carry a small mizzen sail. In
case Of bad weather the Shamrock can
sail with only her foresail and her small
mizzen sail.
The two yachts will go a southerly
course, and will stop for rest and sup
plies at the Azores. There the compile
ment of. men for the Shamrock will be
shifted. The men who take her to the
Azores will change places with those on
the Erin.
A considerable amount of the chal-
lenger's racing gear was taken on board
the Erin. while the rest was sent to
America ON a liner.

BUILD MODEL DAIRY
BARN or LAVA ROCK.

Roessler Brothers are completing
what is thought to be the model dairy
barn in all this locality. Their ranch
IS out on the North Shoshone tract
Manager Urfer built the structure &C
cording to plans that have been
thought out after many years spent in
the dairy business. He is a Swiss
American.
The dimensions Of the barn are 40
by Y feet, with walls of native lava.
Every square foot Of the ground floor
is cement, so that there are to be no
crevaces for rats. The barn will ac-
comodate about fifty cows. Running
water through their troughs turns
down the drains behind the cattle and
sweeps all litter into the sewer in the
most Clearly sort Of way. Both
drains and troughs are Of cement.
Numerous appliances for the feeding
of the cows are provided in the ar
rangements of the interior between the
two rows of stanchions. There are
also conveniences for the milking.
