FOR SEVENTY-FOOTERS.
The Field Advocates Fixing an In
ternatiOnnl Yacht Rating.


LONDON, Sept l5.-The Field re-
prints an article from The Forest and
Stream. which advocates limiting the
length of competitors for the Americas
Cup to seventy feet on the water line.
The Yacht Racing Association com
mittee has been discussing the matter
Of limiting the rating of large class
yachts and en- attempt to revive sixty
raters has been suggested.
The latter class. however," says The
Field. " has never been fortunate. and
1t proceeds to advocate the eighty-rating
class. which would accord with Ameri-
can views on the subject and afford a
fine opportunity of having a fleet of
ciEhty-raters from which to choose an
American Cup challenger or a Victoria
Cup defender.
AT all events 1t would be well. now
that there is talk Of international rules,
to get an international classification as
well. In fact, this is quite as important
as the rating rule. and the sooner ne
gotiations are opened with the New
York and Continental yacht clubs the
better"
