COME AGAIN, Mr.. GOULD"
English Ynchtsmcn Want Chni-
lenEes for the Victoria Gold Cup.

Nby Associated Press.)
LONDON, Sept. 6.-The Morning Post
says, with reference to the proposed
changes in the conditions governing
races for the Victoria Gold Cup, that
one amendment which will probably be
made in these conditions, and which
will be asked from the New York Yacht
Club by the next challenger for the
Americas Cup, will be the placing of a
limit on the length of the load water
line.
The large crew carried by Nigilant
suggested the official measuring of
yachts in International matches with
their full crews aboard. The sail area
and the number of hands will also be
limited, and the matter OF water bal.
last will receive more attention. The
paper adds:
I'VE trust American yachtsmen will
keep up their visits to this country, and
that the examples Of Messrs; Carroll
yacht-owners. 1t Is said that Lord Dun
raven and some of his friends are build
ing new boat in order to try again
for the Americas Cup. 1t is only by
this continual interchange of visits that
British and American yachting men will
get to know each other
The Times, in an article on Nigilant
says.
Everybody will sympathize with Mr..
Gould's disappointment. He Is a pleas
ant adversary to meet, and we trust
his yacht will sail in many more races
in British waters. Nigilant, by common
consent, is an admirable example of
the yacht-builder's art, and even now.
after being defeated by Britannia in
twelve races out of seventeen, experts
are not agreed that, II well handled, the
American boat would prove a less able
vessel than her adversary, but 1t would
be idle to say that the prestige of the
centreboard has, not been impaired by
the eXperiences here.

No Republican should be misled into
