FATE OF THE THISTLE.
LONDON, March TIT has just
transpired that the racing yacht
Thistle, whose visit to American
waters as a challenger for the
America cup, created an interest
in yachting circles here which has
never been surpassed, is to be
handed over to the German naval
authorities, and she will in future
be known as the Comet. Under
her flag Emperor William hopes
many an efficient German yacht
sailor will be trained. The Pail
Mall Gazette, referring to the
change, says:
The secret that a new yacht was
building on the Clyde for the Ger
man emperor has been we'll kept.
Neither in German nor English
yachting circles was anything
known about the large racing cut
ter, which, from the designs by Mr..
G. l.. Watson, has been construct
ed at Henderson's yard. The fol-
lowing telegram has been received
by Vice-Admiral Thomson in COM
mand OF the naval sta ZION or tins.
Baltic: "As q new ra4ing yacht
Meteor Is about to bel launched,
/ must, with heavy heart
bid farewell to my staunch old cut
ter. / wish to leave her In good
hands, where she will be cared for
with love and respect, such as her
brilliant successes deserve. i
therefore turn her over to the
naval authorities In the hope
that they will be able to train on
her many an efficient German
yacht sailor, and that she will for
years to come cross the winning
line in friendly encounter. Hence
forth she will be known
as the Comet. You, as chief OF the
station, shall take command Of the
yacht. (SIgned) WILHELM l r."
The history OF the Meteor, once the
American cup challenger Thistle,
is too we'll known to need recapit-
ulation. The new Meteor, an i'm
proved Britannia, will in all prob
ability make her debut at the
early Thames matches, where she
will help to swell an exceedingly
smart class, viz, Britannia, Ailsa,
Satanita, and possibly Valykrie III
