SANDY HOOK COURSES, 
July 13-18. 
Shamrock IH. had two good trials during the week 
of July 13 in which she again demonstrated a marked 
superiority over Shamrock I. The latest Fife creation 
was in the new rig fitted at Erie Basm. A loftier 
mainmast made greater sail area possible. 
The boats were towed down to Sandy Hook iSay 
on Monday morning. A drizzling rain fell throughout 
the day, however, and the wind was light. The Up- 
ton 90-footers remained at anchor. On iuesday a 
fifteen-knot breeze was blowing, which gave protnise 
of a fine trial over the 30-mile course. Designer Fife 
and Sailmaker George Ratsey did not like the set of 
the new mainsail on Shamrock HI., and most of the 
time underway was spent in trying to better it. 
At 12-30 the boats were sent off on a broad reach 
from Scotland Lightship to Sandy Hook Lightship. 
They turned the latter and had gotten well back to- 
ward Scotland when a masthead runner block on the 
challenger gave way, and the trial was abandoned tor 
the day. At the time of the accident Shamrock ill. 
had gained a minute and a half in 8 miles of sailing. 
The big single stickers were out again on Wednes- 
day Shamrock III. was in a new suit of canvas, and 
the spin turned out to be merely for stretching pur- 
poses There was a good breeze blowing at times with 
prospects of rain and wind squalls, which, however, 
passed beyond Sandy Hook. . ^, , „, 
The first real trial occurred on Thursday. ihe 
course was a leeward and windward one and aggre- 
gated about 40 miles. At the finish Shamrock 111. led 
the first Fife boat by 6m. 30s. Shamrock 1. got the 
better wind in part of the struggle, and this undoubted- 
ly crained minutes for her on the new boat. The course 
was 10 miles to leeward and return from Sandy Hook 
Lightship and was covered twice. The breeze at the 
start was blowing 9 knots, but at the finish had flat- 
tened to about three. The summary: 
Start. 1st turn. 2d turn. 3d turn. Finish. El'ps'd.

On Friday the boats sailed 15 miles to windward and 
return Shamrock III. appeared to be in much better 
trim than in the trial the day before, and easily out- 
pointed Shamrock I. on all sailing. At the finish of 
the contest she won by nm. 44s. elapsed time. In beat- 
ing to windward 7m. 38s. were gained, and on the run 
home the new boat was 4m. 6s. faster. The summary:

The rain and wind of Saturdav kept the Lipton fleet 
in Sandy Hook Bay. The daily spins of the cup chal- 
lenger and her trial boat are giving Captains Wringe 
and Bevis an excellent knowledge of conditions en- 
countered off Sandy Hook. 
Atlantic Y. C 
SEA GATE, LONG ISLAND, 
Saturday, July 18. 
In a twenty-five Icnot breeze from the southeast, an 
attempt was made to start the race of the Atlantic \ . 
C for classes M and under on the afternoon of Satur- 
day July 18. There was a heavy sea running and a 
blinding rainstorm. The boats were to cover the short 
inside courses with marks at Fort Hamilton, Ulmer 
Park and the start off Sea Gate. , , , 
Five craft started, including the yawl Kate, owned 
bv J S Negus, and the sloops Cockatoo, W. A. Bar- 
stow Vagabond, T. A, Vernon; Eileen, F. J. Havens; 
Apuka II., E. S. Teft't, and Pickininny, E. H. Low. 
All were double reefed. tt 1 td- 1 ■ 
Just before reaching the Fort Hamilton mark Picki- 
ninny capsized. Her owner, Mr. Low, and two boys 
in the crew were thrown into the water. They clung 
to the bottom of the overturned craft until the yawl 
Kate came to the rescue. The boys were taken off in 
safety and a rope was thrown to Mr. Low, which he 
erabbed A particularly heavy sea, however, made the 
craft lurch. Mr. Low lost his hold and disappeared. 
He was not seen again. He was popular with all 
vachtsmen on Gravesend Bay and well-known m the 
business world. Mr. Low was in his 45th year. He 
leaves a widow. 11 j « n-i 
After the accident the race was called off. llie 
drowning of Mr. Low was the first fatal accident which 
has occurred among Gravesend Bay Corinthians for 
years and has cast a gloom over all.
