Racing Association, and they believed that she wouo
receive a time allowance suhcient 10 give her 'no
first prize. The more conservative, however, were
fully content with the showing when the AmerNa"
sloop had made the face OF The re'urhs' uihs
allowance or no time allowance. The fact That the
Navahoe was the ffth boat 10 the starting hnes
