At the entrance tothe basin the tug, on t Blgnal frocj tho Kll- -lowen. slowod down and the long line of hawserwas shortened. Aa the yacht was taken asternof ths easels in tho basin thoro was moresaluting, and a big dredger at work near the

Mr. Barrio, who had been watching the yachtH from tho plor. stepped on board as soon as she

j raachod the pier, and after talking for a tewminutes with Cart. Hogarth loft for the city.

J ToareportorlorTusSuN hosald:"Wo are now safely berthed and out of tho

We shall not wait until Sir ThomasLinton arrives before hauling the yacht out.No time will be lost in gottlng tho yachtready, hut I can't say just now how long it 7llltake to put the racing rig on."

Shortly attor the Bhamrock had boon mooreda gang of workmen boarded her and bogan toremove tho steel braces that were put hi whileshe was on the Clydo to strengthen her for thovoyage As those were taken out they weresent tottorage and will boputback again whenthe yacht prepares for herreturn voyage.

The;was sorao discussion about this yesterdayamong those in charge of tho boat, and It wassuggested that It would considerably lightontho boat nnd make her draught leas when sheIs taken Into tho dock. At high water there Istwenty-fou-r faet of water on the sill, nnd Itwould seomthat tho Shamrock draws very near-ly that amount when tho question of lighteninghor to get her In safely has to bo considered.It was rumored about the yard that the yachtIn hor racing rig draws twentr-thro- o feet. Ifthis Is so it Is three foot moro than the draughtof the Columbia.

Cart. Hogarth has already planned what hewill do when the yacht Is In sailing trim. OnSunday ho went down to Bandy Hook to lookover the ground there, and after taking a viewot things genorally from thn tug Lawrenco helooked for a harbor where tho yacht conldanchor at night. Ho selected n place In theHorseshoe, nnd a mooring will he put downthere for the use of tho Bhamrock. Borne ofthe mon in tho crew hud shore leavo last nightand they visited places that were frequentedby tho sailors of tho two Valkyries. Theywere vary secretive about all connected withtho yacht

Lewis Nixon, the designer, had a look at theBhamrock while the was at anchor oft Tomp-klnsvlllo. Ho aUo saw tho yncht when showas coming into port. He says from what hehas seen he should think that the boat wasdesigned to carry the greatest possible sailspread with the least possible displacementMr. Nixon said he did not think tho cup wasin danger, but added that no intelligent mnncould give an idea of the capabilities ot thetwo boats from what was seen above tho water,but ho was rather In fnor of the Columbiafrom what he had seen and hoard of tho twoyachts.

LOTOOW, Aug. 22. The Bailv Mail prints aninterview with Sir Thomas Ltpton. who

that ha was dellghtod with tho receptionthe Bhamrook had been oocorded at New York.He added that he was absolutely certain thatshe was tho finest and fastest craft of herolasa ever launched. For twelve monthsMr. Fife, to thn exclusion of all otherwork, had devoted his care and attentionto her. so many persons were cortaln that theyacht was England's very best Ile'errlng toher chances ot winning. Blr Thomas said:"I am hopeful, ot course, but it is Impossible toforetell. If she tails it will be becauso thoColumbia Is the bettor boat"

He added that ha was satisfied that no seriousharm bad boen dono to tho yaoht by the excur-sion boat Horton running into hor. If nnydamage had been done ho would haveheard of It privately. With regard to the spoodot the boat Blr Thomas said that tho generalimpression that beoause she had been builtto stand the trans-otlant- lo trip sho would prob-ably be slower than the Columbia In smootherwater, was erroneous. Referring to the bet-ting of three to ono against the Shamrock SirThomas said:

"That stock is worth butlng. A friend saidlast night that he meant to have 1,000worth. Feoplo have boen fixing odds on theappearance ot the boat after her trlD. Thotruth Is they know nothing whatever abouther."

lint Aboard tho St. Michaels.Bbistol, Aug. 21, All was bustle on board

the Columbia at Bristol this morning. In thewsyot handling sails, rigging and spars. Inpreparation for the overhauling she Is to be putthrough this week. The tondor St. Michaelswas alongside early in the day receiving ma-terial on board that was moved from the cupdefendor to give more room for work-ing. The yaoht will no longer thisseason be a oraft .for the owner,ofnoers and crew to mess and live on.Capt Barr had his mon remove all fittings andfixings from the boat below hatohes. Thobunks and bedding wero ripped out and takonon board tho tender. The cook's galley andall the mots gear wore also taken on board thoSt Michaels. The furniture and fixings InMrs. Iselin's cabin aboard the Columbia werobroucht ashore and stored In one of the saillofts. It Is probable that tho cabin partitionsat tho after and will bo removed and nothingwill be loft but the bulkheads forward and aft.

Early this morning the crow began loosen-ing the mainsail. For the purpose of drying Itout from the dampness it contalnod. It washoisted at 7:30 A. M. It was not tho mainsailthat Columbia has used In racing with the De-

fender so many times. The dark-colore- d

htreak In ono of tho cloths at the head ot thesalivas missing. It was learned that the snllwas n new one bent last Wednesday at New-port. Bhortly nftsT tho mainsail was hoisted Itwas lowered, tied up with stops and storedaboard the tender St Michaels. It will, at theleast calculation, tnke her all tho week to refit,and she may not leave for Newport before thofirst of next week.

Late in the forenoon tho launch belonging tothe tendor went to ltrlstol ferry, and there Mr.tseltn went on board, having arrived fromNewport on n morning train.

The Defender was loaded on tho cradle thismorning, and at 11 o'clock she was hauledolear upon the marine railway to have hor

oleanod. It did not show much foul-ness. Tha underbody plates wero very darkcolored, however. The crew were at onco setat work by Capt Bhodes cleaning her up.

nnd morning ho will meetChampion Whltmun for tho National cham-pionship game. I'arot beat Davis In tho finalsalter ono of thu most exciting matches InNowport records, tho scores being threosotsto two, and the match lasting for three hoursnnd a half. About tvveuty-flv- u hundred enthu-siasts followed ths varying fortunes ot theplnvers through this long match, and thoap-plaus- n

From ono end of the nntch to tho other. Itwusustrugglo for thn net. each man runningIn on ovcry service, depending on volleying towin for him.

Never onco did Davis let up Inhis terrific speed, and when the balls camoInto l'arut's court. they were generally good fortheir points,

It was undoubtedly an off day for Davis, andl'aret's victory must bo crcditod to this, al-

though he undoubtedly pluyed n clever raa'chand deserves cotiHlderuble credit for takingadvantage of the unsteadiness of his formidableadversary. Before the match, 3 to 1 was offeredon thu result, und ovon money that tho NewYorker would not get n set.

Then thoNow Yorker pulled hlmseir togetlior and ranthreo straight games, taking tho first set by7- -5. ,

In tho second sot Davis held tho lead at 3 1and 4 2. but the N ew Yorker ran threo stiaightand assumed Davis tlen the score at,5 all,and n long dcucu struggle followed, the Har-vard man winning by 111 H

When tho third set wbb started every onooxpeeted Davis to settle down Into his Invln-oib- le

Ho Bhould have been dis-qualified, but the referee nllowod the fight togo on until O'Drlen won decisively.

Five thousand spectators saw the prelimi-nary of twelvo rounds nt 125 pounds betweenElwood McCloskcy, ot Philadelphia, and TonyMornn, of Brooklyn. McCloskoy's right eyo wascut In tho soventh and In tha ninth he wasgroggy, hut continued to mix it fiercely, necould scarcely stnnd during tho tenth andeleventh, Moran landing many hard blows onhlsjjiwnnd body, but in spite of tho gaff thePhlladclphlan was full of fight and wns soplucky that the crowd cheered him wildly.Though still shaky on his pins, McCloskeyforced tho fighting In the last round. Mornnlanded two clean blows to one by the Quakor.Both were so tired at the boll that tbey wereglad to sit down. Referea George Edwardsdeclared Mornn tho winner.

Downey began tho second round with swingsfor the hend nnd landed a couple. O'Brien putIn a solid whack nenr the heart nnd Downeyproceeded to knock the plaster off Jack's head.Then O'Brien started in to light according tohis former tactics, jabbing his left repeatedlyInto tho face nnd driving Tils right to the ribs.Downey responded well enough to make thoround even.

Downey shot n hard left to tho face asthe third opened O'lirlen chased himto the ropes whore thoy clinched. "Aw. don'tbochokln' me." elled Downoy. but O'Brien'sonly answer was another rush thnt broughtDowney up against n post O'lirlen was wurnedfor hitting and holding, nrter which ha sailedIn with a storm ot blows that mado Downey hugto the end

Downoy put a left on the nose In tho filthand then took the defensive. O'Brien wasafter him Immediately with more bodysmashes and n lot ot roughing la the clinches.A right nanu swing nn tno jaw mnue fownerclinch, and a great stomach punch causod himtighten his grip. Downey continued to lighthard, however, even though O'Brien nover letup. O'Brien was too strong tor tho Brooklyn-lte- .

O'Brien wasted lew blowB. being nn expertjudge of dl'tnnce. He tried a right hand swingfor the jaw and landed it In tho seventh, butDowney, with n heavy counter split his righteyo and the blood suffused his (nco. Thecrowd yollod for Downey to score a knockoutbut O'Brien was not In serious trouble, andthough Downey worked like a Trojan, he didnot have nny advantage to speak of at the callof tlmo.

Downey swinging somemore to tho eye, but O'Brien's body blows didmore harm. Downey was sent to his handsnnd knees with a wallop on the neck, but hojumped up and fought it out It wns a hard,fust, vicious fight nnd the crowd was simplyuncontrolnble. There was constant yellingand cheering as the men came together for thoninth. O'llrlon kept up his attack utjtil Dow-ney was tired and was. Incidentally, warnedfor foul tnetlcs.

Iu the thirteenth O'Brien reached the stom-ach nnd jaw with heavy jolts, until Downeywas hanging on in the clinches. Downey Im-proved In the fourteenth nnd whacked hisopponent's face with steady lefts, paying Httloattention to his opponent's blows. O'Brienthen bored In with another vigorous attack di-

rected at the body nnd the jaw.It wns even up to the fifteenth, O'Brien let-
