The | now immortal America came sailing by—clipper bow, wide and shoal, with the greatest beam much farther aft— and cleaned ’em all up.

A bunch of big knockabout ‘brothers is what these challengers and defenders look like. When the designer of the Shamrock boarded the Enter- prise the other day he took most notice of her mechanical aspects and not of her hull—the hollow mast through which the halyards led, the machine for measuring the train on the cloud- reaching mast. He spoke of these devices as if he feared they might figure against him in the race, and possibly they will,, although whoever knows Lipton's old habits wouldn't be at all surprised to see the Shamrock swinging across the starting line with a few new gadgets of her own.

American yachtsmen have been hand- themselves much favorable com- ment on the lighter-than-wood metallic mast on the Enterprise. More than 30 years ago Lipton showed & Shamrock with lighter-than-wood metal spars. ‘They proved too light to be of use. One was a hollow metal gaff which, when the wind made a bit, buckled so badly as to spoil the set of the mainsail. His hollow metal spars got him nowhere that year. Lipton’s Shamrock II, and this back in 1901, carried lighter gear than any American defender whatever; a light Summer squall hit her, this in a pre- paratory race on the other side, and tumbling down on deck came her top- Sir Thomas’ old sporting pal, King ‘Edward, was his guest that day.
