THE ISOLDE,

maiden year 1895, the Isolde sailed forty matches
and she finished the with thirty-one frsts
and six other prizes. thiry-seven in all, valued at
fl 1863 say S5.S15. In this country she will sail
against the Queen Nab, Watson designed cutter,
which has always given good account of herself
since Percy Chubb brought her five or six
years ago English yachtsmen much interested
how the Fife designed Isolde will do with the
Queen Nab in New-York waters. OF course. the
Nab is three years older than the Isolde but prac

forty-siX matches and winning twenty-four hrstS,
eleven seconds and one third or thirty-six in all.
These included Queens cup, and the lot was
valued at f1,1S7, say S. 935.
1t is rot yet known whether the Isolde will race
with the 70-foot vaterine cutters now being turned
the HerTeshoff yards for Cornelius Wander
hilt, August Belmont, Harry Payne Whitney and
w. K Vanderbilt jr. because these craft are built
on one design, and will have to give time allow
ance to the smaller imported craft that may pos
siby be larger than the owners of the new Meet
would face. The dimensions of the Isolde
have been varlously published, but the waterline
length has generally been put at Go feet, about .
feet longer than that of the Nab Her beam is
given at 16 feet s inches and her draught at y

square feet of sail for the English racing ard she

THE CUTTER ISOLDE.
SHE WILL BE FINE ADDITION TO THE
AMERICAN FLEET.

The picture given of the Isolde is reproduced
from the last number of THE Yachtsman." This
vessel is the fastest 65-foot cutter In England and
has lately been purchased by Frederick M Hoyt
Of the New-York Yacht Club and commodore Of
the Stamford Yacht Club. Mr.. Hoyt is now In
England preparing for the yachts voyage to
America and 1t is thought by some of his friends
that he will probably sail in his vessel from
the Clyde to New-York. The Astrd. another cut
ter of the class has also been bought in New
York by Addison G. Hanan, Of the New-York
Yacht Club. The Astrild is supposed to be the
second best of the 65-foot class in England, but
she has not yet become fully known in her powers,
and it said that in light winds she may be ex-
pected to win from the Isolde often corrected
time will therefore not be surprising If the two
boats are raced to Sandy Hook under their cruis-
ing canvas, they will be starting at about the
same time. There never has been a race across
the ocean with such small yachts, and the contest
would be a record one.
Probably English yacht has had such a con-
tinued success the Isolde. except perhaps the

hard batting. thus leaving The Blue in the wholly
unexpected uncomfortable and unprecedented
position of last place of the three. Last season
the work Of all three of these varsity mines
marked by a good deal of irreguarity, but this
year it already gives promise of being far
steader OF the other college Mines Brown, as
is usually the case is already showing excep-
tionally good work, scoring victory against
both Harvard and Princeton. though it must
be remembered that Brown and some of the
other lesser college teams deliberately bring
their nires UP to the high training point early
in the season before the larger colleges have
really tried out all their material.
HARVARD GAINS HER POINT.
In the same way Princeton has been accus-
toned to settle upon her nine and to train it in
playing together several weeks before Harvard
has chosen her baseball team. 1t is to this
practice that Harvard attribute the fact
that Princeton has the Harvard series SO
generally in recent years. The Princeton -Har-
ward series has invariably been played early in
the season-that is, around the middle of May
in case Of tie, the last contest being played
before June l.. This season Harvard decided that
she would not have her series with Princeton
until the Crimson nine had been playing to-
SeLDer a considerable time, and stood a better
chance for victory. Therefore, the Harvard man
ayers stated that they did not wish the series
to begin until the latter part of May Princeton
naturally objected to such change, for the
original arrangement had proved highly salts
factory to her. Harvard was insistent, however
and so the Princeton Harvard series has been
put along this year the first game TO take place
at Cambridge on May 26 and the next at Prince
ton June 13. IF a tie should result. the de-
Gliding game VIII be played off later in June
The Yale-Princeton series will be played at
about the usual dates-June at New-Haven; a
week later another game at Princeton, and the
third game New-York June 1G The
Harvard-Yale series will mark the close of the
season on the varsity diamond. and will again
be feature of the class day weeks the two
universities June q will mark Yale's appear
ance at Cambridge; five days later the Crimson
players will journey to New-Haven, and in case
OF a tie the deciding struggle will be played in
this city June 80. Every lover Of college base
ball and every Harvard and Yale man, will hope
that a tie may result for the deciding game of

have given general satisfaction. and the friends
of Shoemaker say that the newly elected man
ager will take hold of the business affairs of the
team and conduct them in an entirely satisfac-
tory, sportsmanlike manner. Shoemaker is a
member of The class of '02. and is only eighteen
years old He acted as assistant to Manager
Mitchell last year. and he is conversant with
the duties of his position.
Manager Shoemaker is already negotiating for
games for Columbia with the leading college
teams, and he hopes to arrange the best set of
football ga mes at Columbia Field ever seen
there. He expects that Columbia will meet
Harvard, Princeton Yale and the University
of Pennsylvania next fall.
Columbia's new manager is the son of Henry
