certain that these two are not both clubs and that the 
yards are to follow. 
The Atlantic Transport Line steamer Mesaba, from 
London, also arrived on Saturday, carrying still another 
set of racing spars for Shamrock. She brought one 
lower mast, a topmast, a spinaker boom, a club topsail 
yard and the club, two crosstrees, and two cases of metal 
fittings and consignments of rigging and blocks. All the 
spars brought in the Mesaba are of wood, and as most of 
them will probably never be used in this country except 
in case of the failure of the metal ones, they may be 
regarded as spare spars onlj'. 
The actual measurements of the racing spars which 
have arrived show that nothing was to be prejudged of 
the challenger's speed l3y the size or appearance of the 
outfit with which she raced with Britannia. When the 
challenger meets Columbia every sail she carries and every 
spar on board of her will be different from those she 
carried in England. Not only are they different in size, 
but also in material. Instead of being made of wood the 
spars are intended to be raced with are of a new alloi^ 
The ingredients that go into this alloy are wholly un- 
known in this country, and it is a special discovery that 
has been utilized by Fife. What the virtues of the whitish 
looking product of the secret processes are. nobody in 
America knows, but it is safe to say that Fife has satisfied 
himself that this "aluminum bronze" gives a metal of 
great strength combined with great lightness. 
All that' is, known of the product is that the huge 
mast composed of this material was handled with such 
extreme ease on its arrival in New York that its evident 
lightness was remarked by every one who saw it moved. 
With the exception of this mast, the spars which are 
now going in Shamrock are not those with which she will 
race Columbia. The bowsprit which was put in place 
on Saturday morning is a heavy Oregon pine stick, which 
will be used merely for practice and will be replaced later 
on by a hollow bowsprit of aluminum bronze, which ar- 
rived here on Saturday. 
If the length of Shamrock's mast from deck to hormds 
has been rightly measured at 79ft.. her truck will be just 
150ft. from the deck, and 9ft. higher than Columbia's 
present masts. 
Lake of Two Mountains Regatta. 
Saturday, Aug. 26. 
The Lake of Two Mountains regatta, always one of the
