in 1893. The latter communication had

Captain F. P. Sands. of the ew York

yesterday and made known the purposes
of the club to hold a big regatta off
Newport toward the close of August,
to last four days at least. Thus far
200 has been raised in New York for
prizes. At least $1,000 will be given for
each days events. and the balance of
81 200 is to be increased by other SUBJ
scriptions, to be raised here and in New
York, and used for races for smaller
crafts in the bay.
The outside course races will be for
schooners and sloops. The former will
sail 40 miles twice over a. triangle, and
the sloops Will sail 20 miles also twice
Goelet, brother of ogden Goelet, donor
each year of the Goelet cups, have had
charge of the entire matter. These will
be submitted to the New York Yacht
Club at its meeting in New York on
March 2S There is no doubt, Mr.. Sands
thinks, that it will be adopted, and thus,
with the open sanction of the leading
yachting, organization of the country,
the plan will have received a great boom.
Mr.. Sands reports already great enthusi-
esm and generous response to the call
tion evident on every hand.
Great interest will be attached to the
events for sloops, owing to the fact that
the cup defenders will probably come
together in a series of races for the first
time An event of the meeting. will be
a catboat race for society ladies, for
which silver cup will be offered.
