NEW YORK BESIEGED BY EXCURSIONISTS. THE FINAL TESTS. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyrighi Received 10.30 p.m., Aug. 20. New York, Aug. 20.
New York is besieged with excursionists. It is believed that Shamrock’s chances depend upon a light wind. Both have made their final tests of fittings and gear this afternoon.
Sailing seven and a half miles in a 12knot breeze, Shamrock heeled over at a great angle, and. left a considerable wave. She makes scarcely a ripple behind. Reliance had scarcely any list. The weather, forecast to-day is, partly cloudy, light to fresh west to north winds. The forecasts designate a wind with one to nine miles velocity as light, and ten to nineteen as fresh.
