The One-Gun Start.

A distinctive feature of English
yacht racing which is gradually com
ing into vogue there also, is the one
gun start. That means that the COM
peting yachts in any race instead of
being allowed five minutes in which to
cross the starting line-the time of
each yacht being taken separately as
she crosses-are timed when the gun
is fired, the yacht that is first over
getting whatever advantage she thus
derives from the superior skill dis
played by her captain. 1t puts a
premium on seamanShip and judg
ment. 1t adds greatly to the excite
ment attending the beginning of
race. That was made apparent in the
cup races between the Vigilant and the
Valyrie. From the point of view of
the spectator it has everything in its
favor 1t enables him to tell at any
stage of the race which boat is really
ahead. And he knows that the boat
which finishes first has made the fast
est time. He hasn't got to wait until
the regatta committee has done its
figuring to settle that point. 1t great
ly simplitieS the work of the regatta
committee. There is an element of
danger about it when boats are crowd
ing together each striving to be over
the line first, but in the hands of skip
pers who thoroughly understand their
business collisions are extremely rare.
The crews of English racing yachts
are all picked men. Practice makes
perfect and they get plenty of it. With
anything like the same amount of
training American crews would prob
ably prove a trifie better. The dis
parity that was apparent in the hand
ling of the Vigilant and the Britannia
in their earlier races last year dis
appeared before the racing between
them came 70 an end.
The comparisons that have been
made in the foregoing in yacht racing
in the two countries apply, it should
be understood, only to single stickels.
When it comes to schooners the tables
are completely turned. England has
practically no racing schooners,
America still has a fine fleet of them.
The simon pure racing machine has
not yet appeared among them. May
its advent be long deferred
And meanwhile we need not worry
about the cup, The Defender will
prove the conquerer. 1t is case of
genius against talent. Watson and
Fife have talent but HerTeshoff has
genius. Genius will win.

that there are lessons to be learned in
yacht racing on the other side.
What il Costs to Be Racing
Yachtsman.
Yacht racing, there as here, except
in what might be called the toy
classes, is a pastime so expensive that
only the rich can afford to indulge in
it. To begin with, the yacht itself
comes high, because both material and
workmanship have to be of the finest
description. Roughly speaking, first
class racing yacht, of composite con-
struction-that is, steel frames planked
with wood and sheathed with copper
and without any eXtravagant interior
furnishings. will cost, If Of 20 tons
yacht measurement, about $4,000; of
40 tons, $17500; of 80 tons, $4,000. The
suit of canvas, which is included in
the above figures, but will probably
have to be renewed at the beginning
of the next racing season, will cost
III round figures, for a 20-ton boat,
$1,000; for a Acton boat, 81, 800; for a
90-ton boat, So, 500. The cost of a sea-
sons racing, inclusive of fitting out
and laying up, at very moderate es-
innate will be, for 20-ton boat
$1,000; a Acton boat, $4,000, and 80
ton boat, $4,000. OF these sums, mems
the captain being paid from $3.50 to
81 600, and considerably more when he
happens to be a t the top notch of
the profession. The members of the
crew are paid Sc a week each, and dur
ing racing days are allowed as much
beer as they can drink without getting
drunk So each for every time that
their boat WINS a race, and $3.50 when
she tries, but fails through no fault
OF theirs, to compensate them for
their hard work and disappointment.
Then the owner is supposed to furnish
each man with two caps, two Guern-
sey frocks, one pair of yachting shoes,
one pair of leather ''go-ashores,"

In addition to his salary the captain

into consideration as in British yacht
racing cash prizes are the rule and
mugs are the exception. Several promi-

Smith have advocated the adoption of
the same system in America as a
means of stimulating yachtsmen to

and it affords some relief to the strain
which it imposes on the pocketbook.
At the same time the expenses in
Cured are so heavy that the money
awards are not high enough to make
it worth while to go in for yacht rae
pecuniary speculation.
The Prince of WaIes's Yacht Win
nings.
The Prince of Wales big cutter
Britannia beat all previous records as
a prize winner last season. She was
engaged in forty-two races and won
thirty-tWo first and second prizes, the
sum total of which was $10,350 In ad-
ditiOn to this she also carried off 1900
in the Mediterranean regattas. The
prince has the reputation of being
very liberal employer and there is no
doubt that it cost him a good deal
more to run his boat than she brought
in. And this season with either the
Asia or the new Valkyrie as a COM
petitor in most of the racing events
his winnings will not be anything like
as big.
The Czarina, the crack among the
forty raters won $3.50 last season in
the thirty-five races in which she took
times and the second four times.
Among the twenty raters the Luna
designed by Fife stood at the top of
the list with eighteen first and eight
second prizes to heF credit out of
forty-nine starts, the amount in cash
being 81, $50. The Dakotah, Heres
hoff's phenomenal ten-rater, started
twenty-nine times and in all but four
of these races crossed the finish line
first. Her cash winnings amounted to
1925. The figures for the smaller
classes-the five, two and a half, one
ane one-half raters are not SO COM
plete. In the two and a half rating
class the Gareth, designed by Nichol-
son carried off the honOrs. Her prize
winnings footed up $3.50 represented by
thirty-one first and thirteen second

of a Yacht Racing association, which
exercises a sort of general supervision

The British Method of Rating.
Some explanation of what rating
means as applied to British yachts is
desirable since it conveys no ida to
the average yachtsman on this side of
the size of the yacht thus classified.
One not otherwise informed would
naturally infer that one rater was
twice as big as half rater and so on
and he would be hitting it off very
wide of the mark.

And here is something that is still
more surprising. In the smaller classes
on this side, the Herreshof tin-keels
have completely wiped out the centre
board boats. This was conclusively
shown in the races of the twenty-one
footers last year. But in England,
Linton Hope has succeeded in turning
out a centre board boat, and one of
the extreme 'skimming dish type at
that, which generally shows a clean

due to that peculiar ingenuity, which
is a matte nal characteristic, that ena-

master all that others have learned

points better, and win the trick. When
the Genesta challenged for the cup,
there was nc boat in existence on this
