LONDON, June 1.-The Field. in Its
yachting article, to-day says:
The contention that Vigilant was
not a fair vessel to match against
Valkyrie OF account of her fiimsy con-
struction will be emphasized by the fact
that she is being strengthened for her
Atlantic passage. We believe that the
Committee of the Royal Victoria Yacht
Club meditated last Autumn a clause
insurlng that the defending yacht for
the Victoria Gold Cup should be built
capable of sailing the Atlantic on her
W bottom.
The clause was not adopted. owing
TO the difficulty of determining the At
ness of build for the purpose. and be-
cause II would most likely result In
the challenger getting no match after
she had crossed the Atlantic. Still, the
point well displays the enormous ad.
vantage which the defending yacht has
owe the challenger.
THE invasion of American-built boats
this season is likely to try the genius
OF our naval architects severely. SC far
as Nigilant is concerned. we should
say that she will be enormously i'm

Differences with Perugini May Be
Aired in Court.

1t was stated this afternoon tina
Lillian Russell intended to enter
the divorce court for the third time,
and had retained Howe & HuInmel to
bring mn action that will free her from
the letters which bind her to Sig.
perusinl, whom she married less than
Ave months ago.
At the office of Howe & Hummel II
was said that Miss Russell was the
client Of Mr.. A. II. Hummel, but any
Information concerning the rumor OF a
suit was refused. One representative
of the firm would neither deny nor
affirm the statement, but thought that
the fair Lillian would figure in a sensa-
ton very shortly and intimated that
the time could be counted by hours.
Neither principal of the firm could
be found. Mr.. Humel. 1t was said,
had an important reference case, and
could not be seen to-day.
LENDERS Of the theatrical profession
discussed the rumor on the Rialto. and
the opinion generally prevailed in tina
quarter that Perugini would not contest
the suit II II was brought. II was said
that he Is perfectly indifferent In tn.
matter.
Perugini, or as he was knownin private
life, ack Chat terton, was the fail
Lilllan's leading support. The first seri-
Gus difference Is said to have arisen In
