haste they had made, holding up his lantern to show
Daura dark archway hewn in the wall, which

claimed, zone of them is down! There were three,
Christ and two saints"

mors there has been a little friction for
some time. Mr.. Burton is acknowledged
TO be the best amateur in British waters,
and he Insists on having his own way In
the management OF the Shamrock ~
This. however. Is not to the liking Of Sir
Thomas who wants to have some say
about the yacht. although he knows very
little about racing craft. The differ
ence about the rig Is new matter OF
difference, and II may result In Mr.. Bur-

event Col. Duncan Neil probably would
be put in charge.
The old and the new yachts sailed a
race over course of thirty miles to-day
There was good sailing breeze and the
yachts were sent to windward and re-
turn The challenger steadily drew away
from the older yacht from the start until
she was minutes 20 seconds ahead.
This was more than a mile lead The
