WHAT YACHT OWNERS AND BUILDERS ARE
DOING IN MANY YARDS.
A telegram was received yesterday from Baltimore
announcing the entry for the Americas Cup trial
Of yacht designed by Nathaniel q. Moore. The new
candidate for the honor Of defending the great trophy
is to be centre-board sOop ~ feet overall, and II
feet tho wates-line These dimensions would give
her only one foot overhang and, IN fact her descp-
ton specifies that the yacht to have perpendicular
stem and only slightly inclined stern post Her beam
Is to BIO 90 feet, and her draught IL forward and
feet aft According to these figures, the yacht is to
be typical oldfashioned skimmingdlsh. Mr.. Moore,
the designer, Is an old timer at the business He
attained some distinction two three decades ago with
the little sloop Baltimore. The new yacht he de-
clares, Is built on practically the same lines as tho
Baltimore.
Ex-Commodore James D. Smith, chairman of the
America Cup Committee, had not received
the entry yesterday. Up at the New
York Yacht Club, last evening, little atten-
ton was paid to the Baltimore announce
ment. Those who discussed the matter at all were OF
tho opinion that such a yacht the one described
would have little chance with modern craft Yet there
are many who desire to see such an entry, for no
other purpose than the fun Of the thing.
