over on the "othcr side our Brltisn
cousins have gone a good bit ahead OF
us in the way OF preparing for the
great international yacht race Tor the
| Americas Cup. \ series of races nave
already been sailed with the very latest
English built yachts competing. ana
mighty fine opportunity has been al
fordad to make some close and careful
connsrisons on the qualities OF the DIFF
fnrent English cracks which are striv-
ing to make 1t Interesting for American
yachts. English yachtemen are buiid-
ing high hopes on Dunraven's Nalkyrie.
the challenger for the Americas Cup and
IL would seem as II they were justihed
in placing the great confidence they do
In her ability to outpnce any OF the new
boats building on this side.
| The Valkyrie has sailed in five races
since she was launched this Spring ana
she crossed the line first In three OF
these races. Her closest competitor was
Wales's Britannia, and in thus defeat-
| ing the Princes cutter so clearly the
deduction is made that the Falkyrie Is
! the fastest yacht now afioat IN England
| Expert mariners figure that Dunraven' 8
boat is about twenty-five minutes faster
| than the Iverna, the crack craft or
| England last season. In n mathematical
| cornparison of the Nalkyrie and the

while the latter may be fifteen minutes
faster than the Iverna. which was beat
en- every time by the Valkyrie. she the
yolunteer) Is ten minutes slower than
the Valkyrie. Allowing for Improvement
as the season progresses. the Valkyrie

!, argued, the new cup defenders must pe
: fifteen minutes faster than tne N2iun-
teer to hold their own against the DSn, nn,

, to show their heels to the valkyrle. ana
, that is about the fairest line that has
, been drawn on the prospective racers
thus far.
