Shamrock wiil not carry in today'’s race the Nicholson jacket designed to prevent back windage from the main mast. The Cup Committee informed Capt. Burton if the Shamrock carried the jacket in future races she would have to be remeasured.

Burton advised her remov- al of the jacket. Capt. Burton and de- signer Nicholson said this morning that five races was not an adequate test for the America’s Cup. Capt. Burton ad- mits in sailor-man fashion that ina lumpy sea with faint airs the Herreshoff sloop frots taster than the Nicholson craft. {Capt. Burton said that in the early stages of Tlursday’s race Shamrock had out- footed Resolute and was in a position to have crossed her bow wnen she was struck by a squall and winded off so that when the weather cleared and the wiand hauled Resolute found herself well to weather and ahead.

Hickman, navigator of the Shamrock, said the criticisms of Shamrock’s start in the first race, was justified in appearance, but that the plan of the start was car- ried out by a calculation that would have shown its advantages, had not every- thing been spoiled by the squall.
