At the entrance to the basin the tug, on t Blgnal frocj tho Kll- - lowen. slowod down and the long line of hawser was shortened.

We shall not wait until Sir Thomas Linton arrives before hauling the yacht out. No time will be lost in gottlng tho yacht ready, hut I can't say just now how long it 7lll take to put the racing rig on." Shortly attor the Bhamrock had boon moored a gang of workmen boarded her and bogan to remove tho steel braces that were put hi while she was on the Clydo to strengthen her for tho voyage As those were taken out they were sent tottorage and will boputback again when the yacht prepares for herreturn voyage.

The; was sorao discussion about this yesterday among those in charge of tho boat, and It was suggested that It would considerably lighton tho boat nnd make her draught leas when she Is taken Into tho dock. At high water there Is twenty-fou- r faet of water on the sill, nnd It would seomthat tho Shamrock draws very near- ly that amount when tho question of lightening hor to get her In safely has to bo considered. It was rumored about the yard that the yacht In hor racing rig draws twentr-thro- o feet. If this Is so it Is three foot moro than the draught of the Columbia. Cart. Hogarth has already planned what he will do when the yacht Is In sailing trim. On Sunday ho went down to Bandy Hook to look over the ground there, and after taking a view ot things genorally from thn tug Lawrenco he looked for a harbor where tho yacht conld anchor at night. Ho selected n place In the Horseshoe, nnd a mooring will he put down there for the use of tho Bhamrock. Borne of the mon in tho crew hud shore leavo last night and they visited places that were frequented by tho sailors of tho two Valkyries.

Ho aUo saw tho yncht when sho was coming into port. He says from what he has seen he should think that the boat was designed to carry the greatest possible sail spread with the least possible displacement Mr. Nixon said he did not think tho cup was in danger, but added that no intelligent mnn could give an idea of the capabilities ot the two boats from what was seen above tho water, but ho was rather In fnor of the Columbia from what he had seen and hoard of tho two yachts. sin Tit oat in ra r lea sun.

The Bailv Mail prints an interview with Sir Thomas Ltpton. who that ha was dellghtod with tho reception the Bhamrook had been oocorded at New York. He added that he was absolutely certain that she was tho finest and fastest craft of her olasa ever launched. For twelve months Mr. Fife, to thn exclusion of all other work, had devoted his care and attention to her. so many persons were cortaln that the yacht was England's very best Ile'errlng to her chances ot winning. Blr Thomas said: "I am hopeful, ot course, but it is Impossible to foretell. If she tails it will be becauso tho Columbia Is the bettor boat" He added that ha was satisfied that no serious harm bad boen dono to tho yaoht by the excur- sion boat Horton running into hor. If nny damage had been done ho would have heard of It privately. With regard to the spood ot the boat Blr Thomas said that tho general impression that beoause she had been built to stand the trans-otlant- lo trip sho would prob- ably be slower than the Columbia In smoother water, was erroneous. Referring to the bet- ting of three to ono against the Shamrock Sir Thomas said: "That stock is worth butlng. A friend said last night that he meant to have 1,000 worth.

The yaoht will no longer this season be a oraft .for the owner, ofnoers and crew to mess and live on. Capt Barr had his mon remove all fittings and fixings from the boat below hatohes. Tho bunks and bedding wero ripped out and takon on board tho tender. The cook's galley and all the mots gear wore also taken on board tho St Michaels. The furniture and fixings In Mrs. Iselin's cabin aboard the Columbia wero broucht ashore and stored In one of the sail lofts. It Is probable that tho cabin partitions at tho after and will bo removed and nothing will be loft but the bulkheads forward and aft. Early this morning the crow began loosen- ing the mainsail.

Never onco did Davis let up In his terrific speed, and when the balls camo Into l'arut's court. they were generally good for their points, It was undoubtedly an off day for Davis, and l'aret's victory must bo crcditod to this, al- though he undoubtedly pluyed n clever raa'ch and deserves cotiHlderuble credit for taking advantage of the unsteadiness of his formidable adversary.

Five thousand spectators saw the prelimi- nary of twelvo rounds nt 125 pounds between Elwood McCloskcy, ot Philadelphia, and Tony Mornn, of Brooklyn. McCloskoy's right eyo was cut In tho soventh and In tha ninth he was groggy, hut continued to mix it fiercely, ne could scarcely stnnd during tho tenth and eleventh, Moran landing many hard blows on hlsjjiwnnd body, but in spite of tho gaff the Phlladclphlan was full of fight and wns so plucky that the crowd cheered him wildly. Though still shaky on his pins, McCloskey forced tho fighting In the last round. Mornn landed two clean blows to one by the Quakor. Both were so tired at the boll that tbey were glad to sit down.

Downoy then got home a left and right swing on tho head. O'Brien working on the body, Downey began tho second round with swings for the hend nnd landed a couple. O'Brien put In a solid whack nenr the heart nnd Downey proceeded to knock the plaster off Jack's head. Then O'Brien started in to light according to his former tactics, jabbing his left repeatedly Into tho face nnd driving Tils right to the ribs. Downey responded well enough to make tho round even. Downey shot n hard left to tho face as the third opened O'lirlen chased him to the ropes whore thoy clinched. "Aw. don't bochokln' me." elled Downoy. but O'Brien's only answer was another rush thnt brought Downey up against n post O'lirlen was wurned for hitting and holding, nrter which ha sailed In with a storm ot blows that mado Downey hug to the end O'Brien camo up for tho fourth with a rush. Downey meeting him with a left in the eye. Downev thun went In to fight as hnrd ns ho know how, but O'Brien cut htm under tho left eye and ripped In body blows too numerous to count Dow ney's nose was bleeding and he was slightly blown when the bell rang, Downoy put a left on the nose In tho filth and then took the defensive. O'Brien was after him Immediately with more body smashes and n lot ot roughing la the clinches. A right nanu swing nn tno jaw mnue f owner clinch, and a great stomach punch causod him tighten his grip. Downey continued to light hard, however, even though O'Brien nover let up. O'Brien was too strong tor tho Brooklyn-lte- . it seemod, and in the sixth he Increased the swiftness of his attack until Downey was bawlldored. Tho latter's damaged eye was bleeding In a stream when time was up. O'Brien wasted lew blowB. being nn expert judge of dl'tnnce. He tried a right hand swing for the jaw and landed it In tho seventh, but Downey, with n heavy counter split his right eyo and the blood suffused his (nco. The crowd yollod for Downey to score a knockout but O'Brien was not In serious trouble, and though Downey worked like a Trojan, he did not have nny advantage to speak of at the call of tlmo. O'Brien rushed In the eighth and landed two smnshes on the head. Downey drew moro gore from the eye with a couple of punches, only to bo driven to the ropes. Downey swinging some more to tho eye, but O'Brien's body blows did more harm. Downey was sent to his hands nnd knees with a wallop on the neck, but ho jumped up and fought it out It wns a hard, fust, vicious fight nnd the crowd was simply uncontrolnble. There was constant yelling and cheering as the men came together for tho ninth. O'llrlon kept up his attack utjtil Dow- ney was tired and was. Incidentally, warned for foul tnetlcs. Downoy was on the defensive whon O'Brien camo nt htm in the tenth. The latter pnld more attention to tho ribs, Downey cutting the eye again In a rough mix up.

Downey received a severe shaking up In the twelfth, O'Drlen keeping at him without a rest Iu the thirteenth O'Brien reached the stom- ach nnd jaw with heavy jolts, until Downey was hanging on in the clinches. Downey Im- proved In the fourteenth nnd whacked his opponent's face with steady lefts, paying Httlo attention to his opponent's blows.

Ho rolled over and lumped up just as the be I sounded. O'Brien started the eighteenth with quick jabs. Downey swinging both hands viciously nnd also wrestling O Uriah beat him relent- lessly, Downey holding hard enough to be dis- qualified. O'Brien scored three square knock clowns, tho boll saving Downey beyond a doubt. ?Downey did more holding In the nineteenth and should have heen ruled out of the rlng.hut the referee wns blind to the violation of the piles.
