SOUTHAMPTON. July I*.— There was
much excitement on the Solent to-day
over the Britannia-Shamrock race. From
early morning crowds watched the prep
arations mi board both yachts, while the
whole fleet from Southampton, Cowes
and other points made for Ryde.
The scene at Ryde pier was most ani
mated. Long before the star! crowds of
fashionable visitors had arrived. The
Shamrock was towed from Southampton,
the Erin following with Thomas tiipton
and a distinguished company. The weath
er was hot and slightly hazy, with a
slight southeast breeze which promised
to last through the day. The course was
.from the Ryde pierhead eastward around
the Nab lightship, leaving it on' the star
board hand, then back past Cowes to a '
buoy on the Solent bank, rounding the
buoy on zhe starboard and finishing at
Cowes, opposite the Royal Yacht Squad
ron's house. It was about forty miles
long. The Prince of Wales arrived at
Southampton at 11 o'clock, wearing a
yachting suit, and boarded the Britannia
from the yacht Fire Queen, on board of
which he left Southampton.
The yachts started punctually at 12
o'clock, with a fresh southeast breeze
blowing. As the starting gun boomed the '■
Britannia Immediate crossed- the Sham
rock, the latter following in a way to give
the impression that she. had no objection
to giving the Britannia a slight lead. The
latter, however, did not long maintain tiie
advantage. It v. as a dead heat to wind
ward, and little distance was covered be
fore the Shamrock, whic.i started on the
short leg to port, overhauled her, and on
the following long leg to starboard the
Shamrock forged ahead rapidly. It was
at once noticed that she was sailing near
ly half a point rearer the Wind than the
Britannia. The Shamrock was carrying her
mainsail, jib-head-.) topsail, jib and fore
sail. The Britannia carried the same can
vas, but In addition her club topsail.
The Shamrock was a half-mile ahead
passing Warner. Hogarth was at the
helm of the challenger. The boat held up
admirably and there was not a drop of
water on deck. She proved extremely
quick In putting about, taking only lOU
seconds. On rounding the Nab lightship
both yachts set their spinnakers for the
run back.
The only mishap of the day was that
when the* Shamrock's sail began to fill
the top caught in the cross-trees. The
huge canvas flopped flat and then sud
denly burst like a balloon and a big rent
became visible in the upper part, where
a long strip had been torn out, leaving a
hole big enough for a man to crawl
through. The Shamrock's speed naturally
suffered somewhat from this accident.
Both boats soon set their " topsails and
later their balloon foresails. The yachts
jibed to port near Ryde. They were then
traveling at such a rate that the press
boat, going a speed of eleven knots, was
unable to keep pace with the Shamrock,
though the wind lightened considerably
after leaving Nab lightship. The Britan
nia appeared to be holding her own for
a short spell before she reached Ryde, but
the Shamrock again crept slowly ahead,
widening the gap.
The scene at this time was an inspiring
one. Both yachts, under a cloud of can
vas, were gliding on even keels. The wind
freshened after passing Cowes and both
boats took In their spinnakers a: 1 stalled
on 'the broad reach to the-. Solent buoy.
After jibing around they reached back,
finishing with a short tack to make the
home mark.
Experts were satisfied that the Sham
rock will be able to give a good account
of herself in the contest for the America's
cup.
The Shamrock passed Warner at 12:36:13
and the Britannia at 12:43 18. The Sham
rock rounded the Nab lightship at 1:00:25
and the Britannia at 1:00:20. The Sham
rock passed Ryde. pier tit 1:54:30 and the
Britannia at 2:02:30. The yachts passed
the Royal Yacht squadron's house going
westward, the Shamrock at 2:40:27 and the
Britannia at 2:51:00. The Shamrock ar
rived at the finish line at 3:46:00. The
Britannia finished the course thirteen
minutes hind the challenger for the
America's cup.
Both yachts were admirably handled,
but the Shamrock had a clear advantage
throughout. She gained on every tack
to windward.
The corrected times at the finish were:
Shamrock. 3:43:50; Britannia, 4:00:15. The
times of passing the buoy on the Solent
bank were: Shamrock, 3:15:45; Britannia
3:25:04. -:
FASTEST OF BRITISH YACHTS.
— >—
The Shamrock Does Not Show Her
Actual; Speed.
COWES, Isle of W*ght, July 18.— On the
actual difference in- the times of the
Shamrock and Britannia at the various
points and the times* at the finish of to
day's races it does hot appear that the
Shamrock has a gre(_t chance to win the
America's cup. Those signs, however,
may be deceptive. 1/ was the opinion of
those who closely witched the race from
the steamer following the yachts that the
Shamrock was never pushed to her ut
most In to-day's trlaj, and that Mr. Fife,
the designer of the; yacht, who practi
cally engineered the| contest on behalf of
Sir Thomas l_ipton. merely desired *.> as
certain whether the Shamrock could show
the Britannia a cle_.n pair of heels. He
had no desire, he slid, to let everybody
into the secret of th* actual merit or best
speed of the challenger.
Confirmation of th ' foregoing opinion Is
found In the fact that while the Britan
nia carried every possible stitch of can
vas, the Shamrock wias running before the
wind from the Nab. lightship to the So
lent bank buoy, and only her Jib headed
with the topsail instead of the club top-
Sail, like the Britannia, and that on the
broad reach home from the Solent buoy
the Shamrock lowered her jib topsail,
which would, have been of material as
sistance had her skipper really wished to
show her at her bes_.
Mr. Fife and Mr. Jamison were on
board the Shamrock, but Sir Thomas Lip
ton followed on board the Erin, which,
with a few yachts and one solitary but

ing. Pears' Soap es-

crowded excursion steamer, escorted the
racers around the course.
The fresh breeze that was blowing at
the start dropped somewhat, but revived
sufficiently to bring the racers home at a
spanking pace and proved an excellent
wind from the racing point of view, as
it. enabled the cracks to be tested as to
three points, namely—beating to wind
ward, running and reaching. The Sham
rock showed to the best advantage beat
ing to windward, and gained six min
utes on the Britannia on the eight miles
beat to the Nab lightship from the start.
although beating is considered one of the
Britannia's strong points. On the run
back to ('owes the Shamrock's gain was
less perceptible, but she did not set her
club topsail, and so did not do her best.
On the reach home the Shamrock did bet
ter and could evidently have done the
distance in much shorter time if she had
been put on her mettle.
The Shamrock is decidedly the fastest
boat ever launched in these waters. No
other craft ever gave the Britannia such
a beating on a fair sailing trial. There
was considerable maneuvering of the
yachts before the start, and the opinion
was freely expressed that the Shamrock
did not appear to be so well bandied as
the Britannia, which was in the hands
of the veteran Carter, who skippered her
successfully against the Vigilant in ISM.
The Britannia was sailed beautifully and
excited general admiration among the Im
mense crowds of fashionable people who
witnessed the return of the boats from
every point of vantage.

Advisory Committee Agrees Upon
Rules for the Anglo-American
Track Events.
LONDON. July 18.— Messrs. Jackson.
Wendell, Morrison and Brooks of th" in
ternational university advisory committee
held a final meeting at the Queen's Club
Brighton, this afternon to complete ar
rangements and decide upon the order of
Ba trday's events in the athletic contests
between Yale and Harvard and Oxford
and Cambridge. It was agreed that the
programme should open at 4 p. m. with
tie long jump and hammer-throwing con
currently, closing with the three-mile and
high jump. ' :;■ ' : ,
The question as to the number of trials
to be allowed In the hammer-throwing
and long; jump was the occasion of con
siderable discussion, the English rule be
ing four trials each and the American rule
six trials. A compromise will be reached
on six tries for hammer and five tries for
jump. for the high jump the usual cus
tom of both sides is three trials at each
bar. Runs under the bar do not count as
tries.
formation gathered at ajl the training
quarters gives promise of close contests,
especially in the 100-yard hurdles, the
quarter-mile and the long jump. The ques
tion of selecting a mate for C. D. Daly,
Harvard, for the long jump will be de
cided between J. T. Harrington of Har
vard, Morse of Yale and Roche of Har
vard to-morrow. G. O. Vassal of Oxford
who. with-R. O. Bevan of Cambridge, will
represent he English universities, has the
top record and continues in splendid form.

MIDDLE WEIGHT BOXERS WHO WILL DON FIVE-OUNCE GLOVES.
GEORGE GREEN.
GEORGE GREEN and Charley finff will be the stars of the boxing exhibition of the National Athletic Club to be
held to-morrow night in the arena at Woodward's Pavilion. It is the first bout in some months that seems to
promise the class of sport which local followers of the game enjoy. Both men are clever boxers and clean hitters,
with the strength of heavy-weights. Goff gained many followers through his meeting with Jim Franey recently,
in which he made a brilliant showing. Franey did not use his aggressiveness with good judgment, and his gallop was
brought to a sudden stop by his opponent. In Green the victor of the last fight will flnd a more dangerous adversary.
There is not a move in the game with which he is not familiar. That the sporting fraternity has confidence in him is
evidenced by the fact that he has been installed a warm favorite in the betting. At Harry Corbett's last night the
wagering was brisk, the prevailing odds being 10 to 7. On the preliminary bout between Jeffords and Jones the betting
was at evens. The Illustration is from photographs by Bushnell.

his record of 2:10, made last week at

Coney was a very- easy winner of the

Shade On was whipped all the way down

Polo, Golf, Yacht Racing arid Al*

The open-air horse show of the Burlin
game Country Club, which was so marked
a success last year, both socially and from
a horseman's point of view, will be re
peated during the first week of Septem
. ber. It will probably extend over two
days, as the members of the club have
such a variety of equipages and so many
horses that the various classes cannot be
shown in one day.
The Burlingame show means the aban
donment for this year of the idea of hold
ing a show in this city. These exhibitions
some years since accomplished much good
in educating people as to the vogue in
horses, harness and vehicles. New types
of the latter were introduced by the score
and the result ls to be seen any day on
the Golden Gate Park drives. The shows
afforded a liberal education in the art of
driving, resulting in an improved style.
The week of diversified sport to be held
at Hotel del Monte under the patronage of
the Paciflc Coast Pony Racing and Stee
plechase Association, commencing August
21, is gradually assuming shape. The pro
gramme will Include all the high class
sports of the field and the tastes of all
persons should be suited. There will bo
competitions in golf for valuable cups for
both men and women. If the polo clubs
of Southern California can send a team
there will be a match between the north
and south; otherwise teams will be formed
among the Burlingame men, each player
on the winning team to receive a cup.
For spectacular effect and action polo
outrivals all other sports, especially
when the men and the ponies are well
trained. •
There will be baseball between a Bur
lingame team, the foundation for which
will be found in the many athletes of the
Tobin family, and an outside team. A
yacht race between Duke, Harry Simp
kins' new boat, B. A. Wiltzee's schooner
and two others will be arranged if possi
ble. In addition the pigeon shooters and
the cyclers will be afforded an opportu
nity to show their prowess. Tbe last day
of "the week will be given over to pony
racing.
In order to carry through this ambi
tious programme successfully each sport
will be placed in charge of some person
identified with it and he will be expected
to see that the necessary preliminary ar
rangements are properly made. In this
wav no "hoot mon" will be asked to at
tend to splicing the main brace in the
yacht rate and the yachtsmen will not bo
troubled about cleeks and brassies, foozles
and hazards. . f.-fy.j

New Consul From Guatemala.
The new appointee to the consulship of
Guatemala in this city is not Manuel
Morales Saemz, as has been erroneously,
stated in a morning paper.
The appointment has not been officially
made as yet, but it is almost a certainty
that the honor will fall to the lot either of
Don Domingo Morales, Minister of Publla
Instruction, or Gabriel Estrada Monson, a.
wealthy coffee planter and near relative
of the President. The secretary will be
Pedro 1 Ocosta. The reason for the re
moval of the present Consul, Philipe Gall
cia. is not on account of any unfitness ha
has shown, aside from his being unac
quainted with the English language.
