straws in the hope of continuing to hold
the American cup. The article cites as
an instance of these tactics on the part
of the committee the keeping secret of the
measurements of the new yacht and con-
tends that the fear that the Valkyrie III
would profit thereby is ill-founded, as
nothing can now be done to alter her be-
