OCEAN RACE POSSIBLE.
Vigilant and VnIi1yrie May Cross the
Atlantic Together.

The sale of the Nigilant to James Gordon
Bennett has caused flutter Of excitement
and interest in yachting circles not unlike
that aroused by the international races CT
the Yigilant and Valkyrie last year
This was so because Of Mr.. Benefits
avOwed purpose to pit the peerless cup de-
fender against the britannia, the Satanita
and mayhap the Valkyrie again in English
waters.
But this great interest was not aroused
alone on account Of the expectancy of more
international races this year. but because
of the possibility which presented itself of
an ocean race.
Never In the history OF yacht racing has
there been an ocean race where the contest
has been between single sticker5, and yachts
men generally saw the great oppor- unity

PEELED to cross the ocean.
said George c. Clark, well known as one
Of the syndicate owners of the Vigilant:
such a race would occasion the widest
kind Of enthusiasm. When the Coronet and
Dauntless raced across the pond. thousands
sailed or steamed out to Sandy Hook to
see them start, and neither Of the schooners

speedy craft.
with the Valkrie and Vigilant It is diff
fereut. Their names are known the world
over. and their qualities sailers of the
first class. in fact, the fastest single stick
ers in the world. are universally admitted
"A meeting. therefore, between them in
an ocean race would be the talk of yachts
men everywhere"
Commodore James d. Smith, who had so
much to do with the successful arrange
ments in the last cup race thought it would
cause lot Of interest, and as both boats
had to cross the Atlantic ne did not see why
they should not start together.
The consensus of opinion Of a dozen DIFF
ferent yachtsmen seemed to be. however
that If the Nlgilant was 10 race in English
waters. Mr.. Bennett would at once take
kindly to an ocean race, and that it only
remained with Lord Dunraven to accept or
throw cold water on the scheme.
