Sh.\mrock II. arrived at Ponta Delgada, Azore Is- 
lands, on Thursda3^ Aug. i, a little after 5 o'clock in the 
afternoon. Erin arrived about an hour later. Up to the 
time of the arrival of Shamrock II. at the Azores pleasant 
weather had been experienced, and she had only been 
towed by Erin when there was no wind. She has covered 
the 1,300 miles from .the Clyde to St. Michael's Island, 
Azores, in five days, which makes her average speed 260 
miles a day. In the event of her being able to continue at 
this speed; she shotild arrive in New York about Aug. 10 
or 12. 
The steel mast, boom and a number of other spars be- 
longing to Shamrock II. that arrived on the Anchor Line 
steamer Astoria on Aug. 4 have been conveyed tO' Erie 
Basin, where they will be stored until the challenger 
arrives here. 
Constitution has been at Bristol for some days past, 
where some radical changes are being made in her rig. 
The poor showing that Constitution has made when racing 
against Columbia in moderate and strong breezes has 
prompted her designers to make alterations that it is hoped 
will improve her under the conditions of leather just 
mentioned. Her new rig will be shorter on the base and 
more lofty, but there will be very little difference in the 
actual sail area. The new mast, which is one of the 
longest ever built for a yacht, is nearly 115ft. in length, 
and weighs about five tons. Riggers are now completing 
their work, and she will be ready for the races at New- 
port on Saturday, One of the principal changes in the 
new rig is the changing of the position of the peak 
halyard blocks on the masthead ; it is hoped they will 
now lead better and the gaff will not sag off to leeward 
to the extent that it did before the changes were made. 
The Canada Cup Challenger. 
Toronto, Aug. 3. — ^The announcement that Cadillac had 
been chosen to defend the Canada cup was received by 
Mr. F. J. Ricarde-Seaver, Honorary Secretary of the 
Royal Canadian Y. C, Saturday night, and was met with 
the formal announcement that Invader would be the 
Canadian representative — not a very startling piece of 
information, as the yacht was already in Chicago. The 
announcement of the challenger and defender came just 
in the nick of time. The conditions governing the con- 
test state: "The challenging and the challenged club 
shall each name its representative yacht by written notice 
to the other at least one week prior to the races." The 
two telegrams may be considered as written notices, for 
it is scarcely possible for letters to pass between the two 
clubs in time, the first race being on Aug. 10, 
The challengers are well satisfied with the selection of 
Cadillac, arguing on general principles that Invader, be- 
ing a keel boat excelling in the strong points of a center- 
boarder — running, reaching and light-weather sailing — 
would have a better chance against Cadillac than against 
Illinois. At the same time, they remember the name of 
Cadillac's designer. They would have been much better 
pleased had the sidewalk Milwatikee been chosen to de- 
fend the cup, but they are not downcast at the prospect of 
of having to do battle with the Hanley centerboarder. 
They pray for stiff breezes and mounting seas, although 
such weather is not to Invader's liking when she is in com- 
pany with other keel boats. But they think that she can 
vanquish any centerboarder under such conditions. 
Toronto yachtsmen are very much disappointed at In- 
vader not having had a brush with Genesee before leaving 
for the West. Mr. Van Voorhis, owner of Genesee, ex- 
pressed his intention of bringing her to Toronto for a 
race when she was lying in Cobourg, about sixty miles 
away. Genesee's arrival was anxiously awaited, but she 
came not. A telegram was received, stating that lack of 
wind prevented her leaving her moorings. 
Toronto yachtsmen consoled themselves with the pros- 
pect of a match between Beaver and Genesee at the Buffalo 
Y. C.'s regatta, commencing on July 30. Hundreds went 
to that affair for the sole reason that Beaver and Genesee 
were expected to meet there. But they were doomed 
to disappointment. It was understood that Genesee had 
abandoned the proposed match with Invader, so as to have 
plenty of time to spare for preparations for the Buffalo 
regatta. Genesee, however, did not race. Beaver was in 
splendid form, and had practically a walk-over in the stiff 
blow of the first day's racing. Every one said that she 
would have defeated Genesee that day. She certainly did 
some remarkable sailing, covering the course wnthin 30s. 
of the time of the famous Canada, a heavy-weather cut- 
ter half as big again. 
The Canadians sent a strong contingent to Buffalo, and 
captured nearly everything worth taking. What is par- 
ticularly gratifying to them is the fact that locally de- 
signed boats, such as Merrythought, of Toronto, or (Tlytie, 
of Hamilton, defeated the creations of such famous old- 
land designers as Fife and Watson. Merrythought, the 
splendid cutter that swept everything in the special class, 
Avas designed and built in 1895 by Capt. James Andrews, of 
Oakville. She was known as Winnetta, and was a failure 
in the racing line until Mr. .S^milius Jarvis acquired her. 
He has made her new name famous all over fresh water, 
and she has beaten everything of her size, and yet she was 
iiot intended for a racer, m4 is only use4 9S stjch upon 
occasion. As a cruiser she is one of the most comfortable 
afloat. She substitutes the yawl rig for that of the cutter 
when not racing. Clytie, the Hamilton 40-footer that de- 
feated the brand-new Chinook, of Fife design, was built by 
Weir, of Hamilton, as a 35-footer, to defend the Canada 
cup in 1899. The boat was under-canvassed, and when 
she got enough sail area— 2,000 sq. ft. — she was away over 
the 35ft. measurement, so she was run in with the 40- 
footers, and, like all the Weir boats, has been giving a 
good account of herself ever since. 
Invader's crew goes to Chicago with no little prestige, 
for nearly all the members have been sailing in the stiff 
breezes of the Buffalo Y. C.'s regatta, where the Toronto 
and Hamilton boats met with such marked success. Skip- 
per yEmilius Jarvis has had a bad run of luck in interna- 
tional matches since his famous Toledo victory. He lost 
the Canada cup in 1899 through not having enough wind, 
and he failed to win the Fisher cup in 1900 through too 
much wind, when the race seemed sure to go to him. His 
recent victories in the races at Chicago should prove en- 
couraging, however, both to the skipper and to his crew. 
Neither skipper nor crew has had enough experience with 
Invader to satisfy every one, but there is the prospect of 
a week of sailing before the races, and they will make the 
best of it. 
The cup over which the match is being held is not ati 
ancient trophy, although the most important one. Its 
story is as follows : 
In 1896 tlie Lincoln Park Y. C, of Chicago, 111., chal- 
lenged the Royal Canadian Y. C. for an international 
match. The challenge was accepted, and Fife, of Sham- 
rock I. fame, designed Canada for the Toronto syndicate 
that looked after the acceptance of the challenge. Toledo, 
O., offered the greatest inducements, and there the match 
was held, Canada, -sailed by Mr. ./Emilius Jarvis, of 
Toronto, defeating Vencedor, the Lincoln Park Y. C.'s 
representative, and winning the silver trophy, besides a 
considerable amount of prize money. The syndicate, com- 
posed of Messrs. George Gooderham, Geo. H. Gooder- 
ham, S. T. McKinnou, Frank J. Phillips, J. H. Plummer, 
James Ross and ^Emilius Jarvis, donated the cup to the 
Royal Canadian Y. C. in 1897, for a perpetual international 
challenge trophy. "The said cup," the first clause of the 
deed of gift says, "shall be known as the 'Canada cup.' " 
The cup rested quietly in Toronto for a couple of 
years, but the Chicago Y. C. challenged for it, and it was 
wrested from the holders in 1899. Beaver, a marvel of 
speed in heavy weather, was helpless in "the light breezes 
that prevailed in the match, although Genesee, the chal- 
lenger, did not win by extraordinary margins. Genesee 
belonged to the Rochester Y. C, but she won the trial 
races and was chosen by the Chicago Y. C. as their chal- 
lenger. She proved a wise selection. 
The Canadians promised not to let the cup rest in 
Chicago, but nearly a year passed before the Royal 
Canadian Y. C. challenged the Chicago Y. C. Com. Geo. 
H. Gooderham and a syndicate backed the challenge by 
building Invader, from the designs of Sibbick, of (Towes. 
Invader won the trial races, her only competitors be:ng 
Beaver and the Hamilton craft, Canadian. Invader has 
not yet shown herself superior to Beaver in a stiff breeze, 
although there is no question of her superiority in light 
weather. Charles H. Snider, 
Caress Must Pay Tonnage Tax. 
Mr. W. Barton Hopkins, the Philadelphia yachtsman 
who bought the 60ft. yawl Caress in Scotland last May, 
must pay a tonnage tax of about $30 every time she puts 
into a custom house port until she is regularly entered as 
an American vessel. 
Considering the large number of English-built yachts, 
both steam and sail, that have been brought over to 
America this year, it seems remarkable that Caress should 
be picked out of all these vessels to be made an example 
of. 
The New York Sun, commenting on the affair, says: 
Caress arrived at Marblehead under command of Capt. 
John Barr several weeks ago, and differences of opinion 
arose as to whether the yacht was subject to a tonnage 
tax. Thereupon the customs collector wrote to the United 
States Navigation Bureau for instructions, which have 
been received from Acting Commissioner T. B. Sanders. 
After referring to the fact that Caress was brought to 
the port without any other papers than a bill of sale to an 
American citizen and citing the statutes, Mr, Sanders 
says : 
"Regular tonnage dues should be levied on Caress at 
the maximum rate under Section 11, Act of June 19, 1886; 
tonnage tax of 50 cents per ton should be assessed under 
.Section 4,219, Revised Statutes, and light money of 50 
cents per ton should be collected under Section 4,225, Re- 
vised Statutes. The payments may be made under pro- 
test if the private persons concerned think proper."

DORCHESTER, MASS. 
Saturday, Aug. 3. 
The third of the series of the Savin Hill Y. C. for the 
handicap class and the sailing tenders was sailed off the 
club house at Savin Hill on Saturday, Aug. 3, in a light 
S.W. breeze. The races were not so close as usual, the 
Coming and the Leach tender winning by fairly good 
margins in their classes. The .summary:
