The stx-heat contest at Alexandria Island
between the gentlemen of states and odds
ard the talent resulted yesterday in the
knowing ones finishing first in all but one
of the trials. In all of the six races the fin

bookies took part in the game, and the ma
jority of them were very sorry for it when
they quit. The winners were: Cadet, to

to 5; Leigh, to 8, and Trinculo, even

We are graciously informed that British
yachtsmen are pleased at the news that the
Americas cup defender is to be a keel
boat" 1 have no doubt of it. Every time
they have pitted one of their keel boats
against one of our center-boarders in a cup
race they have come to grief. and it must
be pleasant news, indead, for them to hear
that we have given up the type of boat that
served us SO well 50 l9hg. They naturally
think that they can build faster keel boat
than we. they having greater experience
with them. l hope they may be mistaken.
By the way. 1 see that the new Valkyrie is
to have "a feet beam and draught of
water of 171s feet. Her length on load
water line will be 81 feet inches. This
confirms my theory that the Ailsa, VAL
kyrie III ard Herreshoff's boat will be
found to be substantially the same in model
and size. The English have adopted our
wide beam and small Immersed section
ideas. while we have taken to their fin keel
and lead bulb theory. I'm afraid that they

London Comment on Ailsa.

LOhUOh COnment' Oh AIIH8.
The London Yachting World says: 1--WE
do not see any reason to conclude that the
Ailsa would be faster than the Vigilant in
American waters. The defeat of the
britannia Is in no way conclusive. The
Britannia is three years old and is becom-
ing obsolete. 1t is possible also that the
result may be reversed at the next meet
ing. The Britannia proved superior to the
Vigilant in our waters, for the Vigilant
was built for certain conditions, and it
has not been proved that under them she
could not beat the Britannia

capt. John Barr says She VIII BE
Much Faster When In Trim.
Capt. John Barr, late of Glasgow, now of
Marblehead. Mass, Has returned to his
home, after visiting friends in Scotland.
He was present at the launching of the
Fife cutter Ailsa, which yesterday again
defeated the Britannia so badly, and when
asked by a Boston Herald reporter how
the big boat looked, said: w..
well. she looked although she would be
very good all-aroiind boat for British
racing. She will be very fast in stays,
owing to her short Keel and great rake of
stern post and a particularly fast reacher.
She has a fine sheer. a well-formed yet
powerful midship section, and her graceful
ends give her a very Slick appearance. She
is of composite construction and Is strong
ly built Under water her planking Is of
American elm. Her topsides are of ma
hogany. Her bulwarks and rails, which are
made of teak and oak, are unusually
heavy, and instead of being bolted to the
stanchions, are bolted through the cover
ing board, the former being done away
with. She has a very lofty rig. and is
Oregon pine. as nothing else would stand
the great strain"
did you go to Fairlie?" Capt Barr was
asked.
Yes, 1 did. When I visited the Fife
yard, in Fairlie, I met old Mr.. Fife, and we
had long talk about many past seasons
yacntlnS ana the AuSd chances against
the Britannia. Mr.. Fife brought up the
Jubilee, and asked about her construction.
When 1 told him. he was more than as
tonished at her lightness. and could not
see how she could hold together against
the pressure of her canvas"
What did you think of the Ailsa's per-
fcrmance at Cannes ON Thursday"
II think she made a very fine showing
against the Britannia for her first race.
They had little time to get ready. Every
thing was being done in hurry when she
left the Clyde, and, of course. like all new
boats, her gear would be very stiff. When
her sails are stretched and at their best,
the crew thoroughly trained. am sure she
will be fully ten minutes faster over for
ty- mile course than she is now, and she
will have no trouble in beating the Britain
pia in any kind of breeze"
Capt. Barr sailed the Thistle in the cup
race against the Volunteer. He was the
skipper of the Jubilee. and this year has
been engaged by DR.. w. Barton Hopkins of
Philadelphia.

could be held good for the work, if the
owner left the work to be done by the

to require the hedges to be cared for.
