glr Thomas Upton's challenger, the Sham
rock. i» Just at that stage when the high valu
ations placed upon her by expert reports create
jnuch curiosity as to her every movement. Be
yend showing that she was easy in a seaway
[jje principal Instruction of the day came from
etu<!> of the bost when she was being towed
•t nearly a twelve-knot clip, and this was Im
portant, seeing that the design of the boat Is
tuned on towing experiments.
y l£o r , m - the crew of the Shamrock be
giv hoisting the mainsail, and when it was
•bout one- third up it was ordered down again
from the Erin. About 2:05 o'clock ehe got
hr towline passed round the mast and forward
to the bitts. the anchor was hoisted, and she
moved out proudly to the scene of her great
castor contest. She carried no flag. Her big
ar» were clean, stripped for action, and her
hog* topmast needed no colored ornaments to
rtHrjnani*. admiration for it. This spar Is a
*licfctl> tapered elongation of the lower mast.
there being no separation between the two. and
th* urr '" stick looks more like good work
tbia EsV other that has been seen in the busi
es. Its rigging looks light, and It would teem
to promise better if it were doubled. Yet, It Is
not generally the breaking so much as the
stretching of these fine wire ropes which lets
topmasts pi overboard. As far as outward ap
pfanwee goes, the chain plate that takes the
firoud is the smallest and weakest looking
t2alr on (he whole boat.
The steam yacht Erin was carrying the
owner's private signal si her fore and the
American flag, with the burgee of the Rpyai
Ulster Yacht Club at the main truck. The blue
snfign. which the Royal Ulster Yacht Club is
permitted to carry, was on the flagstaff at the
taffrail.
There was a fifteen knot breeze blowing
from th* south-south* as? as the two Liptoi
yacbts. together with the chartered tug Law
rence, went down to the Lower Bay. Crowds
of people, who had been reading in the news
papers about the trij> of the green boat, were
lining both shores of the Narrows. They were
well rewarded, if they liked the look of the
saucy craft The Shamrock certainly had the
appearance of a rakish vessel. With her small
freeboard and extraordinary length, she was
the most low lying and snaky looking thing
that ever came into a !»0-foot class.
But the most important Bad for any yachts
roan to notice was the way she sat in the water
when she was being tewed at twelve knots an
hour. So far as the writer was able to tell from
a beam-on view, the Shamrock neither lifted at
the bows nor eank down at the stern, but sat
quiet on Watson's lines, as he Intended she
should
There may or may not be an Important point
here. Watson thinks it is important. So much
so, In fact, that his whole venture is banked on
H. Lipton would not have had any Shamrock
design; there would have been no challenge for
this year, if Watson had not first satisfied him
self that be had a chance, a practical idea, that
could 'bo -worked out for success. -The present
Shamrock Is the result of all his experimepts in '
testing the towing abilities of different kinds of
models. For lvij'tnj-i she is a tow-er of speed.
and may be, perhaps, a tower of strength.
Of course, it does follow that a boat which
tows easily is a good sailer. The point involves

glon of her mainsail getting off the covers and
hoisting away on the halyards. Hut when the
sail was about a third up. some one, apparently
Watson, though perhaps Captain Matthews.
! came up on the forecastle of the Erin, and mo
tioned to take the sail down again.
Sycamore's Idea was to sail out against the
fifteen mile wind that was playing tag with
the oyster smacks. Somebody else's idea was
that the Erin would tow the racer clear of Sandy
Hook. So the boat was taken out into the sea
way off the Hook, and then the tow line was
cast off. Sycamore had already had his orders
to his crew countermanded by emphatic signals.
and as no further orders came to him an to
when to hoist • -an van or when he should part
company with the Erin, he simply did nothing.
and left the covers on the mainsail when the
towliiif was cast adrift. Then the foresail was
hoisted, and the boat wheeled .about and was
Steered in under the point of the Hook. Nobody
on the Erin understood this, nor did others on
the tug Unique, and an Idea with some of them
was that the vessel was sailed back r><--<-iusf> the
sea outside was too heavy, or because the thun
derstorm, which had been heard rumbling in the
distance, might contain a threat for the Eng
lish boat.
These surmises were quite wrong, and after
the yacht was moored in Sandy Hook Bay, Sir
Thomas Lipton went aboard the Shamrock and
had a conversation at the bows of the boat with
Captain Sycamore. It was afterward explained
by Sir Thomas that the reason the boat did not
put to sea under canvas, a-s had been his In
tention, was because of a misunderstanding.
Sir Thomas, when he came aboard the press
tup. expressed his ragTet that the boat did not
sail.
While the vessel was going out. it wa cal
culated that from her anchorage near the up
per Bay. to the Southwest Spit, '¦••¦'is close to
twelve miles, and sh.- was towed that distance
In Just fifty-eight minutes, and against a con
siderable wave coming in from th- sea on the
fifteen mile southeasterly wind. This did not
equal some of the ocean towing where the two
yachts averaged twelve knots an hour.
It was at ."'.::>» <•• lock thai the towMne was
let go. and after the yacht had sailed in under
her foresail she. arrived to leeward of her buoy
in Sandy Hook Bay. and gsi an exhibition as
to how "she could beat to windward under one
headsall. She <iH this first rate In the strong
wind, but It was not so speedy as some desired,
so Captain Sycamore accepted the offer of a
tow by the press tup.
After the craft got a line out to th*» big float-
Ing iron buoy, one of the hands stepped to the
top of the buoy and took a couple of turns
round the ring. The yacht went back with much
sternway, and pulled the head of the buoy
down to the water and through it for some dis
tance.
As soon as the Erin's anchor was down in
Sandy Hook Bay. Lieutenant-Colonel Burbaok,
commandant at the military post at Sandy
Hook, accompanied by his family and staff, and
Captain Hern, of the artillery stationed there-,
together with the "ith Artillery Rand from
Fort Hamilton, went out in the steamer Ord
nance, to pay their respects to Sir Thomas He
paid them a visit In his launch, and later enter
tained the party on board the Erin, while the
band played popular Irish airs In honor of the
occasion. Later in the evening Sir Thomas and
his guests paid Lieutenant-Colonel Burbank a
return visit on shore
Sir Thomas T.ipton will not have the Sham
rock taken out again till Monday st Ml a. m..
after which the .-raft will be regularly practised
every day. the start on each day being at the
same time.
The big ocean steamship Porto Rico, which
has been engaged for the I.ipton fleet as
the tender of the challenging yacht, was
towed down yesterday from Btspleton to Sandy
Hook Bay by the chartered I.ipton tug Law
rence. This waa adjudged easier than getting
up steam on the Porto Rico— the boat being now
used as a boarding house for th* crew and of
ficers of the racer, and also for the little army
of sailmakers which will come from England
and live at Sandy Hook until after the final
racing for the Cup.

The h<--.-t of caterpillars which baa been strip

the city has Invaded Mount Morris Park, and
is In possession not only of trees, lawns, benches
and walks, but seem* determined to ensconce
Itself in an apartment boose near by.
Two weeks ago the vanguard arrived, and
Gardener Max Volkmsn gathered them in.
combing the trees daily and killing the cnter
pillars raptured. Nothing daunted by th* fate
of their fellows, the main army came, has al
ready nearly denuded the horse chestnut trees
of their leaves, and is now at work on the
maple and elm trees, with results that make
the gardener wring his hands In despair.
"This Is the worst caterpillar plajrue in fifty
ye^rs," declared Volkman yesterday, "and there
is nothing we can do but kill as many as we
ran. and trust to cleaning them out when they
spin themselves into cocoons. Every morning
I clean them off the trunks of the trees, and
pet two or three quarts from each tree, but no
matter how many we kill It eeems to make no
difference in the numbers of them."
The pests are particularly numerous on the
east side of the park, and the benches are cov
ered with them to such an extent that people
cannot use them. Moreover, the caterpillars
stlr.g. as Mr. Voikmat' and Patrolman Fchaeffer.
of the East One-hundred-and-twenty-*ixtb-st
pr.lice station, have found out. They show large
blisters on their necks where the caterpillars
have stung them
Not content with taking possession of the
park, the Invaders have determined to Install
themselves in the seven story apartment house
known as the Mount Morris Apartment House.
They have stripped the elm trees in front of the
buiMlnp, and have kept the four elevator boys
busy sweeping off the pavement and stoop. The
boys resorted to hot water to stay the progress
of the invader? in vain, and have had cl ply
their brooms almost continuously to prevent the
crawling insects from getting into the apart
ment house. They have been stung in the en
counters and have uncomfortable blisters on
their necks.
The caterpillars are numerous and annoying
In all parks and playgrounds, and in St. Paul's

lett r has been approved by the committee.
Referring to the matter to-day. Seflor Gomez
said the letter was private, but was In the
nature of advice to Seflor Palma. suggesting
that he should make declarations on certain
points of policy.
•'Th. letter suggests to Sertor Palma." con
tinued Benor Gomes: 'that he should declare
that some clauses of the putt amendment are
objectionable to the Cubans, and should pledge
himself, ln case an opportunity arises, to work
toward changing these in harmony with the
United States Uovernment.
"With reference la th-- payment of the Cuban
army, the letter a 1 vises not Palma to declare
that all claims will be thoroughly examined
before they are recognized.
"He Is also invited to declare that Cuba can
not afford to grant very liberal tariff concessions

LITTLE ENCOURAGEMENT FOR NORMAJI
E. MACKS IDEA OF A THIRD PARTY
FOUND IN OTHER STATES.
Norman E. Mack has raised his voice in pro
test against the repudiation of Bryan and the
Kansas City platform by the various State con
ventions of the Democratic party recently held.
Mr. Mack is a Democratic National Committee
man from this State. He lives in Buffalo, and
belongs to the Croker-Murphy-Shevlln-Mc-
Laughlln-Mack combination, which at the last
two State conventions and at the Kansas City
convention was in control of the affairs of the
party in New- York. It overthrew David B. Hill
and wrested the State leadership from him Mr.
Mack is a political weak sister. He could not
amount to much in his own county without the>
help of the combination, and even with that ha
has been severely trounced at home by the anti-
Bryan and anfi-Croker element. He was elect
ed National Committeeman as a sop to Erla
County. He is a rampant Bryan man and has
always been with the ultra Populistic wing o*
the Democratic party. This interview with him
appeared In "The New-York Journal" yesterday:
"The action of the Ohio, Virginia and Penn
sylvania Democratic State conventions in either
absolutely ignoring or repudiating portions. 12
i not all. of the national platforms of the last two
campaigns seems to me portentous. It looks as
though the men who seek to Republlcanize the
Democratic party are getting into the saddle
and striving to secure control of the party.
Should they continue to score successes a third'
party appears to me inevitable
"And who would be the leaders of the third,
party "
"William J. Bryan would naturally be at th«
head of it. with George Fred Williams, of Mas
sachusetts; Joseph Bailey, of Texas; James K.
Jones, of Arkansas; Senator Tillman, of South,
Carolina; Charles A. Towne. of Minnesota, and
others as his lieutenants. Behind them would
naturally be a majority of the 6."iO«>.fHX) men,
Who in ISOrt and again in lfW»» marched to the>
polls and cast their ballots for the regularly
nominated candidates of their party.
"If many more Democ-atlc State convention*
secede, as have those of Ohio, Virginia and,
Pennsylvania, a third party appears to me In
evitable. It would naturally have as leaders
Bryan, Richardson. Williams. Patterson and
Tillman. and would, oppose Hill. Whitney, La
mont, Belmont and ethers who are now charged,
with seeking to Republicanize the Democratic
party. I agree with Senator Towne that if the

party out of the free silver element of the
Democracy is received with smiles of incre
