GRAND FLIGHT OF (26) SHELLS, | FEU DE Jol eh Ry, SHAMROCK BEATTHE OLD Latest Challenger for the! America Cup Finished 14 Minutes and 16 Sec- onds Ahead Over an 18- Mile Course, THE FASTEST BRITISH BOAT. She Showed Her Superiority in Every Way to the Old Craft, and Her Owner Is Highly Elated. GOUROCK, Scotland, May 9—Sham- rock III., Lipton's new challenger for tho America Cuy. beat Shamrock I., the challenger of 1899, fourteen minutes and sixteen secoads ofer an eighteen- mile course to-day. The wind was fair, ‘but somewhat uncertain. It was dem- onstrated in a most Impressive manner that, 01 @ broad reach and before the wind, the new challenger is by far the fastest boat ever built in Great Britain. There was no measured test of her speed in a sharp thresh to windward, but in some preliminary luffing matches she also showed her great superiority in that line over the older boat. After a series of brushes on and off the wind, in each of which Sham- rock III, proved her ability to sail around her competitor, they were sent away over a definite course, five miles to clock, thence to Skelmorlie Buoy and thence to the place of starting, a nearly triangular course, On the First Leg. The crossed an imaginary line to- gether on the five-mile run to leeward, Shamrock I. slightly in the lead. Both carried club topsalls and spinnakers, and the wind was blowing about twelve miles an hour, but {t was somewhat dukey. Foot by ie new boat drew up on her her and-opened a Bap of n them, At the turn TIT, led by a full quarter .of From Clough to Skelmorile Buoy was @ broad reach, under club topsalls. The wind fei! off a little and the new boat seemed to be the better served for a | time. She rapidly ran away from the | jold yacht, and at the second turn, a distance of five miles from Clough, there was a gap of nearly a mile be- | tween them, Increased Her Lead. Shamrock I .turned the buoy more than ten minutes after the challenger, and with eased sheets they ran home in a good ten-mile breeze, Going up the channel the new boat increased her lead and crossed the imaginary home line nearly two miles ahead of the challenger of 1899, This decisive victory would indicate that over a thirty mile regulation course | the newest boat is at least twenty-five minutes faster than the challenger of | 1899 in a ght wind, and tn the opinion | I the yachting experts who saw performance to-day makes her a dangerous rival for any of the American boats.

It contained one hundred pounds of dynamite. Chef Murray, of the Bureau of Combustibles, said it was a pine box of half-inch timber. forty inches long and thirty-si wide. At one end was a small platform fastened upon cros pieces, the platform being nine by twelve inches. Attached t it were the spring works of a new alarm clock. A sprocket connected with the main spring controlled the movements of the works and was so set that ii thirty-six hours a pivot would be released. igger. waieh in This pivot was arranged to strike a long tr t turn was atiached to another part of the machinery. Behind this trigger was set the handle of a patented cigar I ghterswhioh was connected with alcohol, which by the movemen: of the movement of the machinery would be lighted. Passing fram the alcohol were two time fuses leading to two quantities of dynamite, the combined weight of which was 100 pounds. The dynamite was of the ordiaa:y commercial quality and was knowi as the “climax.” Had noi the explosion been discovered nathing could have saved the ship The box was of good workmanship and strongiy built. The machinery was constructed by two batteries and loose powder and gun covton was sprinkled about the dynamite. A letter re- ceived by Police Commis the infernal machine said: ioner Greene, which gave warning off 40,000 AT MORRIS PARK.

ES POLICE HEADQUARTERS GOT he A RATHER PECULIAR TIP, - Letter “From the Mafia” Was Received by — Deputy Commissioner Piper to the Effect — that the Gynamite Was Timed to Explode Within Thirty-six Hours---Signature Was a- Clumsy Scrawl. G A note ecrawled with pencil and bearing a special delivery stamp was” received by Deputy Commissioner Piper to-day which led to the discovery — of what the police to be an infernal machine on the Cunard steamship Umbria. The letter was at first considered a hoax, but two detectives found the box, which was filled with dynamite. n the box was a set/of wheels, — which were in motion, Without waiting to see more the detectives took the box to the end of the pier and dumped it Into the water alongside the ship. The letter received by Commissioner Piper was as follows: “WARNING FROM THE MAFIA. : “DEPUTY POLICE COMMISSIONER PIPER. “One hundred pounds of dynamite in a box will be found at the Umbr:_ pier. The machinery was set to run thirty-six hours before ther is to be am. explosion. This is meant as a warning to people to go abroad on other than English ships. We are going to get at all the other English ships, You will discover a box with iron handles to move it, All the caps and fuses have been removed, This is done simply as an object lesson to show what can be done,” Th signature was a scrawl that could not be made out. BOX FOUND ON BOARD. Detectives Farley and McAuley were sent to the pler at once. Among |Inside. The box was not locked. The box was tied with a:rope which when Before throwing the box overboard the detectives attached rope to it that it might be drawn up after having been thoroughly soaked. They then informed the authorities at Fire Headquarters, and Superintendent of Com- bustibles Murray was sent at once to the pier. The box was found at the head of the gangway leading to the main cabin of the Umbria, and although every effort was made to keep the affair quiet it leaked out and became generally known, creating consternation among the passengers. A few minutes after the discovery, and while the passengers and their friends were discussing the find and making inquiries, the Umbria waa towed from the dock and started on her voyage. DYNAMITE, SURE ENOUGH. | The detectives say there is no doubt that the box contained dynamite, When they opened it and saw the clockwork in motion they decided it was. best to take no chances, and sa carried it at once to the side and throw tt |over. i The detecitves learned that the box was delivered to the Umbria yestere day afternoon, being brought there in a peddler’s wagon. One of the men. driving was a rough-looking chep and the other was well dressed. Bott. were Italians. They caried it aboard, and sald it would be called for by a passenger. That was the last seen of the men, and that was the last thought of the box by the people of the Umbria until the detectives came aboard in quest of it. ; After remaining in the water until three o'clock the box was pulled and placed in a patrol wagon of the Charles Street Station and taken bureau of,Combustibles where it will be opened. : Ay Al Romance of Lowe and Adventure, ANTHONY HOPE Will Begin in Mo z soe
