yachtsnen in the city TO think that she had
violated the rules governing the trip across
Several members of the New-York Yacht Club
were seen at the clubhouse. One Of them said
IF the yacht was towed only part Of the way
there is no violation Of the deed Of gift; but
if she has been towed nearly all the way the
deed is violated. The deed Of gift provides that
she must cross on her own bottom. Special per-
mission was given some time ago 70 allow her
TO be towed part Of the way. and do not think
the deed has been violated"
Ex-CommOdOre Edward NJ Brown, Of the
yacht club, said: If the Shamrock has been
towed across the deed Of gift is clearly vio-
lated I do not think that such is the case, and
until IL is proved l will not attach any credence
to the report. If ii is true, official action will
be taken"
The comment upon the alleged towing arises
from the fact that Monday, August :, the
