At a coufeicucc Just held between Sir Thomas and his advisers, defluite arrangements were made for the construction of the Shamrock III, nnd an order for the new yacht was given to' and accepted by Mr. Fire. In view of the probabil ity of a big revival of British yachting, and the fact that designing and super intending a cup- challenger necessi tates constant work for at least a i year, Mr. Fife was somewhat dlsln elln?ii t'o accept tho contract,' but Sir. Thomas found mpans of overcoming "his objections. . Geo. L.
