(From the Times" of the 19th of August.) New York, 18th August.
Sir T. Lipton's yacht Shamrock arrived here at 8 this morning. She passed Sandy Hook at 8.14 and was taken in tow by a tug. Sir 'T. Lipton's steam yacht Erin followed the Shamrock. After the usual stop at the quarantine station the Shamrock started up the harbour at 10 a.m.
The eatly arrival of the Shamrock greatly surprised both the yachting community and "the general pablic here. Considerable comnient his already been excited by the authorised announcement that she was towed the greater part of the distance. This is thought to be distinctly contrary Both to the terms of the deed of gift "governing the cup, and also to the express permission of the New Yerk Yacht Club, which only covered towing during callus, The challenger was not expected here' before the 25th instant. Everybody was astounded that she was signaller from Sandy Hook. Those on the Shamrock: say that after passing the Azores the yacht experienced cairns all-the way, and that accounted for her being towed. It is not expected here that, even if she were towed against head winds, there will he any trouble, as the authorities of the New York Yacht Club thoroughly appreciate Sie Thomas Lipton's character as " sportsman, and are willing to make almost any cot cession in the interest of a friendly contest. They are not disposed to adhere strictly to the letter of the rules in the deed. In spite of the unexpectedness of the arrival of the Shamrock, she received a most hearty welcome at Long Branch. The steamer Monmouth on her way to New York, loaded with wealthy sportsmen, men of business, and Wall-street_ brokers, overtook the shamrock in the Narrows. Lhe Sfonmouth's whistle was sounded vigorously and the passengers crowded her They raised great che. the challenger, the men ug their hats and the ladies their kerchiefs. Some of the passengers remarked on the absence of the Stars and Stripes on the new-comer, and later on boatload of Irish freight-handlers expr loud indyynation that she wot the Trish the, After the the crew on their afterwards visited the Erie Basin to make for the Shamrock's quarters. He says thas she will remain at Twmpkinsville For a few days, xnd will then he moved to the Erie Basin, The Erin will be docked first. Those on board the Erin say they are yrvatly pleased with the behaviour of the Shamrock. She proved particularly good in the seaway. When the Erin rolled as much ax 60° the inclination ut the Shamrock was hardly perceptible, She showed evidence of the trip in hee paint, particularly under the hows, where it was pounded off, leaving her bows black. The officers and the crew showed the greatest interest in the Colum: bia's performances, and persistently questioned everybody who approached then about the qualities "f the Shampock's opponent. Dr. Mackay, the physician on board the Erin, was most enthusiastic over the Shamrock.' He said:—'She behaved beautifully. Although seas broke over her heavily at intervals, T am confident that she was not strained. We lost sight of the Shamrock twice during the voyage, but only for short intervals."—Lagan.
Tompkinsville, 18th August.
A large crowd assembled on shore here to witness the arrival of the Shamrock. Ne che was allowed on board, but Captain Hnyarth politely referred reporters to the Erin, "The Shamrock," he said, "behaved beautifully, and Tam mre than satisGed with her." In because riy most anticipations have been more tha. Pleased as Tam with the behaviour of the boat, Iam more than surprised with the generous reception she got from the time we came abreast of Sandy Hook." Mr. Mackay, on board the Erin, said no accident occurred on the trip. 'After rounding Southern Ireland the Shamrock, with mainsail, topsail, forestay, und jib, proceeded at a ten-knot rate.' Everything went smoothly until the Gth. The weather then became cloudy and unsettled, and blinding sheet lightning prevailed. Until the 8th there were moderate seas, but then heavy weather set in with fog, during which the Eri lost sight of the Shamrock, and heavy ses swept her deck. It was learned later that the Shamrock had also been deluged. The Erin picked up the Shamrock on the morning of the 9th, when the boats were 22 miles from Corvo. When the Shamrock was overhauled she had her flying jib set and all was well. Before sailing it had been arranged that both vessels should call at Ferrol in case they should become separated. After an exchange of greetings walled, "Do you intend to call anywhere?" Captain "Matthews answered, "No." The Shamrock proceeded under all sail in pleasant weather throughout that evening and the night. At 9.35 on the morning of the 10th both vessels sighted Corvo at a distance of ten miles, but did not signal, both of them going about 11d knots." A'dead din was experienced on the 11th. Head winds followed and the Erin then took the Shamrock in tow, and during the 11th, 12th, and part of the 18th "towed the yacht, on which all sails were up. 4 slight breeze from the N.N.E. was then in evidence, and this, continued until the 15th, At noon on the oth the Shamrock was leading.' We were continued Mr, Mackay, "about 640 from Sandy Hook. A steady wind prevailed, and the Shamrock was going steadily xt a ten-knot rate. A heavy swell on the 16th rocked both boats, but their speed was not impaired. A pilch boarded the Slumrock at 7 this morning, the tug ing Sie Thomas Lipton's flag, and Captain Bare and his agent met the bouts in the lower bay. As soon as the bouts anchored a message was sent to both of them from the New York Yacht Club through the secretary, Mr. Eddie, extending to them the courtesies of the club with the use of the Tompkinsville landing stage. The Erin will be dry-docked and overhauled at Brooklyn, No arrangements have yet been made for docking the Shamrock and there is no information concerning the intentions of those in charge of her."
