Uncle Sam has gone into the building OF
yachts expressly to defend the cup. While

cup they were easily beaten by yachts

countries a good sum in thousands, and
she made a most p.tiable exhibition. Since

Summing UP the chances OF the boats In
a word, the Yankees expect TO win in
heavy winds. while the Britishers pin their
hopes on light breezes. The course Of the
races will be off Sandy Hook, and IL is
likely they will be witnessed by larger
crowds OF attending craft than ever before.
