Every precaution was taken to prevent mishap to the big cutter and twenty minutes after she was warped Into position over the twel the bottom of the dock, her &k resting securely in place. Th no attempt to hide the lines of the vacht from view. The yard was open to the public from morning until night and hundreds of yachtsmen stood for hours while the water was being pumped out that they might get a look at the underbody and keel of the chal- lenger. It was too late in the day for secrecy and so the “clouts” and “‘petti- coats” that prevented the people from seeing the Shamrock when she.was launched in England early this summer end afterward whei she was docked at the Erie basin shortly after reach- ing this country were not used. Every one had a fine look at the craft. The Shamrock lay alongside the partly burned steamer Bucaros all night and early this morning her crew was put to work scraping off the green paint that covered her topsides, expos- ing the true metal underneath. Just what metal these two upper streaks of plates are composed of is a secret, but it looks much like composition of aluminum and nickel, very light and at the same time very strong. It is quite probable that the Shamrock will not ave her upper body repainted for fear it may retard her speed. Captain Wringe, when asked about the matter, said he did not know about the paint, but if any was put on it would be the true Irish green. At the time the Sham- rock’s keel touched the blocks there was about twenty-one feet of water from the blocks to the surface, which makes her draught about the same Physictany recommend the Crystal warm se3 | score of SENORITA IS .

The crew was at once put to work in two squads scrubbing the hull with brushes. The Shamrock is a powerful aft, with her greatest beam about where the masthead runners fasten to the deck. The underbody, which is of bronze, was covered with a sort of slime, which came off readily with a vigbrous application of salt water and brushes, leaving the plates shiny and smooth. When the hull and keel were fully exposed there were expressions of disappointment on all sides. The experts expected to see some- thing new and a radical departure from the old type of English cutter. The Shamrock can be described as a vesgel with a Britannia body and a Defender fin and lead, including the latter's rocker keel, but with greater draught than either. There is nothing particularly handsome about the cut- ter's lines, except that they are all curves, there being no straight ones except from the turn of the guard boards to the lead. In comparison with the Columbia the Shamrock is fuller bodied, especially .amidships, and has about a foot more beam and a draught about ten inches greater. Her overhangs are shorter, so that her lines are not so well carried out as in the Columbia, and, being short, increase the look of bulki- ness. Then she is higher sided than the cup defender. She has a rocker keel like the Defender; that is, her lead keel is rounded up like that of the '95 champion, but a little more at the bow than the latter. Her lead keel is about as thick as the Columbia’s, but not nearly o deep. From 43 to 5 feet is a falr estimate, while the cup defend- er's is about eight feet. The lead on the keel weighs about fifteen tons less than the Columbia’s, or about eighty tons, but as it is about five feet longer than the latter’s, or about thirty-three feet, and not nearly so deep, it puts the ballast lower and therefore gives the Shamrock fully as much if not Secures the Midwezk Stake( | do his best to win on his merits.

The Shamrock carries more sail than the Columbia, as her mast is stepped about two feet farther aft, giving her more headsail, while the mainsail is also Jarger than the cup defender’s. The Shamrock's amidship sections are continuous curves from the deck lines to the turn of the garboard. Her bilge hardens greatly at the quarter, just opposite to the Columbia’s, and gives one the impression that it will retard her progress in sailing. Amidship the Columbia has a line almost straicht from the bilge to gar- board, giving her a flatter floor, while the Shamrock is full-and round. ‘When the lead keel was exposed it was found to be unlike the Columbia’s in that it i{s unprotected by bronze. It is painted with a sort of red composi- tion to protect it from the action of the salt water, but the crew had consider- able work in cleaning off the slimy coating. ‘When the hull of the cutter had been well scrubbed the crew commenced putting up a staging about the craft and will use electric polishers on her metallic sides to-morrow. Dry dock No. 3, at the Brooklyn navy yard, was made ready to-day for the reception of the yacht Columbia, the Navy Department having given its consent for the yacht to be hauled out there, the Erie basin dock being oc- cupied exclusively by the Shamrock. At 2 p. m,, after the big dock had been pumped dry, the dockmaster and a gang of men began to set up the keel blocks, according to the docking plans furnished by the Herreshoffs. Scaf- folding and shores were brought to the dock and by sundown everything was ready to receive the yacht. The Columbia left her moorings at New Rochelle at noon and was towed through Hell Gate and the East River, arriving at the navy yard before dark. She will be put in the dock early to- morrow morning, at slack water, it is said, which will be about 9 o'clock. | while San ¥rancisco and Santa Cruz oc- | GOSSIP OF THE BASE RUNNERS AND BATTERS Standing of the Four Nines.

The result of the game on Sun- day afternoon which was won by the! | Dudes was due to the slaughtering of Harvey's curves, not to any excellence on the part of the victors.

He simply smothered the big wrestler and made him look like a novice, He sent him down several times, but Mce Cormack was not satisfied with these breathing spe! he lay down several times without receiving a punch. He also transgressed the rules by holding and wrestling, and was frequently cautioned, He feigned being groggy a couple of times and tried to catch McCoy off his guard so that he could swing his right over.
