AMERICA CUP RACE
PREPARING SHAMROCK V.
TWENTY-SIX DAY CROSSING
(Received 15th August, 1 p.m. ) NEW YOEK, 14th August.
A message from New London (Connecticut) states that the preparation of the Shamrock V. for the America Cup race began on Thursday, and is expected to take more than a week." Superfluous fittings will be stripped, and a topmast fitted. The yacht came over under a jury rig, using 110 ft of her 160 ft mast. Although beset by head-winds, she made a 26-day crossing, one day better than her predecessor, Shamrock IV.
