New York, Oct. 2-The Columbia
Shamrock races will be witnessed by
throng vastly larger than that

Yachtsmen are coming from all parts

vate pleasure yachts now in these wa
tiers is larger than ever before known.
In fact, nearly every steam yacht in
the American list is now anchored in
the vicinity Of New York, and pretty
much all of American society that is
not afraid of sea-sickness will be
afloat
Hundreds Of enthusiastic yachtsmen
are already at the hotels, and more
are expected. Many of the knowing
ones have engaged rooms in advance
at the Waldorf-Astoria and the Hol-
land House. About 200 Of Sir Thorn
as Lipton's sympathiZers are booked

is not the slightest doubt that three
times as many people will see the con-
tests between the Columbia and the
Shamrock as ever before saw an inter-
nationa! yacht race. The English Wis.,
itors who have come are far greater
in number and more distinguished

fore. Nearly all of the guests of Sir
