cornihan Yacht Club WIN eold special race race t tor
cdcd this subject. but special meeting OF IN" cb
will be- held within few days. when the question VIII
De brought up
On the other side OF the Atlantic the large sloops
are getting along favorably. some OF the dimensions
Of the britannia and TIA" Nalhyre, which are being
built after designs 10y Watson for the Prince oil
Wales and Lord Dunravcn. respectively. have been
Ii. u
In common. They are both about ri feet on
the load water line and their displacement Will be- about
the same. The Dunravcn boat. however, Is rather
bulky while the Britannia Is narrowly built and lean
me former has beam OF 20 feet Inches ana The
latter only II feet Inches. The Nnlkyne VIII
draw about Ia feet and tn. Prince Of Walcs's boat
about j. feet. II Is reported that the 10Oon yacht
which IS being built abroad for syndicate OF Glas-
COW yacbtsmcD win challenge for the Americas cup
In 1894 should Lord Dunravcn fail to win the trophy.
This boat Is Of composite build, having some OF 'he
best points OF the Watson curr<, ana yet WIN a
fin or bulb keel ~ the Engli,hmcn call It, on which
she viii carry about seventy tons OF Lead
One Of the conditions under which challenges
for the ROYAL Victoria Yacht Clubs Gold international
Cup must be made Is that the challenging yacht
shall be built in the country from which the chal
lcnec comes. The same condition In placed on the
French International challenge cup This restriction
has considerably lntcrfcrcd with the competition FOR
the latter trophy and has been considerably dis
clsscd By English yaohtsmen recently. Austrian and
German yachtsmcn who have intended 10 challenge
for the French trophy have been unable to do 80
because their boats to be built In England.
There are few. II any, yacht 'signcr> and builders
In Germany who compete favorably with the
English and American builder, In regard TO speed.
There Is little doubt however Of the justice OF this
condition, for 1t would be manfestly unfair for .
foreign yachsman 10 have racing boat dcsi gncd
and built In America and Yet call II representative
German boat. Tho Englishmen seem To think, how
ever that II the challenging boat Is not built In the
same country the defender OF the trophy, the
objection should be Oycrrcd.
The Larchmont Yacht Club Is making active prepara
lions for the coming season. At lis recent annual
MEETING Caldwell H. Colt the popular Bridgeport
yachtsma elected senior flag officer, and his
handsome schooner yacht. the Dauntlcs, Will carry
