SHAMROCK.
ARRIVES AT The
AZORES AFTER
EXCELLENT TRIP
Proves Self Worthy Sea
Boat Days and 3
Hours on Voyage

Hortafayal, Azores, July 28.-Sham-
rock ", Sir Thomas Lipton's new
challenger for the Americas cup, ar
rived here today, having taken seven
days and three hours for the voyage
from Falmouth, England,
During her trip, according to those
on board, the yacht proved herself an
excellent sea boat. In hard blows she
took the big seas like a duck and
slipped through the water with great
ease.
Before Shamrock babe farewell to
the English coast, Col. Neill, who Is
making the voyage on board the
steam yacht Erin, which is acting as
convoy on the trans Atlantic voyage,
pressed the challenger hard in order
to test her gear and her ocean rig.
Everything was found to be in good
order. and the little racer made good
weather out of the hard blow and the
drenching rainstorm she encountered
on the run from Torquay to Plymouth,
where she anchored for the night.
The next day at dawn Shamrock
weighed anchor and made for Fal-
mouth, which she reached at O'Clock
in the morning in very stormy
weather
The yacht left Falmouth at D O'Clock
on the morning of July q for her run
by way of the Azores to New York. AL
noon she was 10 miles west of the
Lizard, and then Col. Neill decided TO
take her in tow as dead calm mad
fallen and the tide was setting her
back. The same evening the challenger
picked up breeze and the line was
slipped. The blow soon increased to
hard north northwesterly wind,
which churned up heavy sea, IN
which Shamrock made a fine picture
as she rose easily to each wave. On
that day she averaged 10 knots an
hour for the "a hours.
On the following day conditions We're
similar but the weather was inner,
and for the rest of the voyage the
wind gradually slackened down until
at times there was a dead calm. Then
Col. NELL took the challenger in tow
until the breeze strengthened suffi-
GENTLY for her TO run under her own
sail.
The best days runs were z40, 222. 142
and 1852 knots.

1t is possible that Shamrock's boom
will be taken off while she is here, as
it bangs about so much when she is
becalmed. Otherwise the yacht is re-
garded as having done well. and her
performance thus far on her ocean
voyage has increased the hopes of
those on board that she will be sue
eessful in carrying out the purpose for
which she was built.
Capt, Turner, who is acting as skip
per on the transatlantic voyage, is
we'll satisfied with the yachts behav-
ior. The half Of the crew which has
managed the yacht since her depar-
ture from England is to be replaced
here by the other half, who have been
luxurating on board the Erin.

FRANCES WAR
PREPARATIONS
QUIETLY MADE

Paris. July 2S-The French govern
ment and people appear to be quietly
preparing for war. The government is
simply awaiting the decision of Rus
STA.
Troop trains are ready and repre-
sentatives of the army are on duty in
the telegraph, telephone and post Of
fees. The varage citizen as read In the
newspapers his general Instructions
concerning mobilization. Large posters
on the bulletin boards in public build
ings will apprise him of exactly the
hour when his instructions become ef-
fective.
The cabinet met late today and re-
ceived the reports of the ministers. II
any decisions were taken they have
been kept closely guarded
According to what is believed to be
responsible opinion, there remains the
possibility that when Austria has &C.
eupied some Servian territory she will
In day or two announce her intention
not to proceed further, but to hold
what she has taken until Servia gives
competent guarantees that she will
observe Austria's wishes. Russia would
not then be likely to intervene, 1t Is
argued, except automatically, and me-
gotiations appear to be going on at
the present time between Austria and
Russia.
On the announcement of war tonight,
Paris became animated There were
patriotic demonstrations in the capital
and many other cities throughout the
republic. There were demonstrations
against war also.

RUSSIA ISSUES
COMMUNICATION
ANENT ATTITUDE

st. Petersburg, July 2S.-The Russian
government tonight issued the follow
ing official communications:
Numerous patriotic demonstrations
of the last few days in st. Petersburg
and other cities prove that the firm
pacific policy of Russia finds a SYM
pathetic echo among all classes of the
population. The government hopes,
nevertheless, that the expression of
feeling of the people will not be tinged
with enmity against the powers with
whom Russia is at peace and with
whom she wishes to remain at peace.
While the government gathers
strength from this wave of popular
feeling and expects it's subjects to re-
tain their reticence and tranquility, ii
rests confidently on the guardianship
of the dignity and the interests of
Russia
