ready for her long transatlantic trip Howard
Gould Will go on board Of her this morning and she
will sail from the Erie Basin. She will probably
sight the Vigant before she is long out. and Will for
a time AT least act convoy, though that Is not
the intention In sending her George J. and

entered his feeble protest against the Nigilant HIS
claim Is that the yacht has been strengthened for
her voyage across the Atlantic and that therefore
races which she will sail the other side will not
be fair because in the she sailed against the
Valkyre for the defence of the America Cup she
did not have the strengthening beams. or what you
will AS a matter OF fact the Strengthening OF the
Viglant will not add to detract from her speed
The strengthening pieces put into her will probably
be removed on the other side They may not be re-
moved At any rate they were only put in as a
matter OF precaution. and the yacht was Just as Mt
to cross the Atlantic when she defeated the Vakyre

with reference to the difficulties Of the Vgilant
getting days for set matches. British yachtsinan
advises that she enter all possible open events as
the Navahoe did. II she cannot beat the particular
