4 number of our yachtsmen that l would
do whatever in their Judgment was best.
IL they wished to form racing syndicate

per cent of the total cost without my hav-
ing any active voice in the management

fashioned way l would stand all the ea-
pense. own the beat and manage the af
fair depending upon them for advice and
assistance.
They have decided the latter course to
be the better. Therefore | have today en-
tered into arrangements 10 build boat
which will meet the conditions necessary
for participation in the cup contests. The
entire affair will be conducted in a simple
open way.
Il understand in a general way that
Sir Thomas Upton and the New York
syndicate will bring to bear in their ef-
forts all that money can purchase in the
way of material. experiments, experience,
ami workmanship; that, IL there is any
doubt as to which is the best spar. rig
ging. plating. OF canvas. all kinds are
bought and only the best used. They tell
me-those who know-that to carry out
the project on this scale necessitates an
army of advisers and at least half a mil
lion in money.
Now, we never expect to use either.
Careful investigation leads me to believe
that The genius of one of our young naval
architects the expenditure of s150. 900 to
S25G, 000. the earnest and enthusiastic hard
work of half dozen of our younger
yachtsmen. and the best advice OF two or
three OF our veterans will enable us to
go to the starting line and make a showing
in {; sport which Is dear to us all in
keeping with that made by our tOwnsmen
in the past.
THAT is all we intend to do. and 1 have
this day perfected the arrangements. My
part will be to own the boat. furnish the
necessary money, and have 4 general SUI
pervision of the affair. All matters per-
tanning to the construction and building OF
the boat will be open at any and all
times to anyone interested. and | believe
that the yachtsmen who will be named by
me. upon whom will devolye the greater
part of the work. and to whom will justly
accrue the larger part of the credit. Will
be only too grateful for any suggestions
or advice which may be offered by fellow
yachtsmen

nitely to settle To procure the best and
