YACHT RACING
SUCCESS OF SHAMROCK V. (British Official Wireless.) Rugby, May 20. Sir Thomas Lipton’s America’s Cup challenger, Shamrock V., won her third successive victory to-day when she finished first in a race from Harwick to Southend. Shamrock V. will leave for America about the middle of July and will go via the Azores accompanied by the convoy Erin, which will carry a big supply of oil that will be freely used in bad weather. Experts anticipate that the yacht will ride the sea well. She will have a crew of 22, and will carry one month’s rations of food and fresh water.
