Club win hold special meeting at lower belmont
co.'s for the purpose OF arranging details In the mat
ter OF the anticipated races between the vonia and
the seleced yacht or yachts OF the club for tho

measures as the Importance Of the matter win sng

meeting Will be well attended, as none OF greater
significance has been held for years. Some Of the
yachmen Of the club have suggested that the races
for the Douglas and Loriard Cups over the course
from Brenton's Reef Lghtship to Block Island and
Vineyard Sound Lghtship and return, had better
be sailed on and after the 9th inst, but In

surrounding the races for the Queens Cup this su

attention solely to the Livona business that VIC
may not be caught nappingr' Certainly there y
much force in this lnterrogatory, and when 1t Ia
considered that but fortnight will eapse before
one OF these contests Will take place II Is worthy OF
much consideration. 1t win also be remembered BY
tho club that In short time the Grand Duke Alexis
and the feet accompanying him Will arrive IN the
