A Chat with Mr.. lselin About the

FESTIVE. as any racer OF the seas

sticker Vigilant strained at her head

of Echo Bay, New Rochelle. yesterday
afternoon. A powerful breeze ratified
in from the southwest and Nigilant
seemed impatient at being held in

Her great spread of mainsail reached
out from gaff-head to boom.end. like a
huge white wing. Massed forward were
white-uniformed sailors pulling at a
rope here and Juggling at a chain there.

mo 1t has been determined at all
events that It Is not necessary to take
/ her to Bristol again. The main thing Is
to keep the Tobin plates as clean as pos
sible. They do not foul easily; in fact.
not any more than any boat that is
