great Importance of the occasion to
yachtsmen everywhere and the necessity
for the greatest care in preventing acci-
dents and any possible interference with
the yachts during the race. Captain Shoe
maker assured Mr.. Morgan that the su-
pervisors of anchorage at New York had
been instructed TO confer with the race
committee to their wishes and that
everything possible would be done by the
commanding officers of the cutters which
would be detailed to look after the excur-
