of the yacht in carrying medicine and supplies to the 
soldiers and sailors in Porto Rico. The May was 
originaly owned by E. D. Morgan ; ■ she was afterward 
purchased by Mrs. Sarah D. Fell, and later was sold to 
Mr. Alexander Van Rensselaer. 
Work is being rushed on the Cup challenger, Shamrock 
II. The Yachting World says: "Fresh gangs of men 
were started last week on the construction of the new 
challenger in Denny Bros.' yard at Dumbarton, and a 
serious efYort is being made to try and have the shell ready 
for launching on the tides which fall due in the last week 
of March. AH the hands retained for the job have been 
turned on, and the work goes on incessantly by day and 
night. During the day the work is done entirely inside 
the shed and the shaping and fitting of the heavier pieces, 
which require the assistance of the ordinary machinery, 
are done at night, when the 3'ard has been cleared of the 
men on the day shift. Capital progress has been made, 
but although much of the material for building her is 
already shaped and ready, there seems to be little pros- 
pect of the vessel being ready for launching at the time 
originally named. A dredger has now started work in 
the River Leven, opposite the yard, for the purpose of 
dredging a launching berth and a channel right to the 
Fairway of the Clyde."

The Spalding St. Lawrence Boat Company, of Ogdens- 
burg, N. Y., have received from the Herreshoifs an order 
for three topsail hollow spruce spars for the new Cup 
defender being built at Bristol, R. I. These hollow spars, 
of the special method of construction of the Spalding 
Company, will be from 50 to 60 per cent, lighter weight 
than if of solid wood of the same dimensions, and also 
considerably lighter than steel tubing of sufficient weight 
for the purpose. Such a saving in weight aloft on the 
Herreshoff boat will be considerable and of immense ad- 
vantage.
