CASTING DEFENDERS KEEL.
First Ate npt at Bristol Is Failure. Melt
ing Pot Breaking.

Bristol, r. l., Jan. 20.-The first ac-
lual work on building the new Amer
leas cup defender started offwith an
accident. The attempt to pour the olS
lead keel Of the boat was failure.
ABOUT half the amount of metal khat
is to comprise the keel was poured,
When one of the melting pots suddenly
cracked and the work was immediate
ly stopped.
The metal that was poured was al
lowed to cool until night when the
work OF demolishing the scaffording
and mould was begun. A new con-
struction will have to be built around
a melting pot and it will probably he
next Week before another attempt is
made to cast the keel.
