OF his early school boy days, his father,
James Chadwick, having arrived in this
city with his family from England on

siXty-three years. In his boyhood days

issued has been held by the Royal st.

who are in position to know, and who are
excellent Judges of aquatic sports, say
that there is no mediate danger of Its
being removed from its present lodging.
While the America cup races Will nat

for the Seawanhaka international chal-

usual interest. The British challenge is
the first one received in five years. and
it will bring with it a social feature such
as no American challenge would do, as
there is a wide ocean to cross, and that
in itself is sufficient to attract certain

Whether the East would support Mr..

q debatable question. AS vice president
he would surely be reelected to repre-

the opinion is that as chief officer Mr..

yides that the nominating committee

Lorne is now having a boat designed and
built by Harley Mead of West Cones,
Isle of Wight, a young English designer,
who has been very successful in the
smaller classes, and has lately started a
building yard. Mr.. Currie will also build
trial yacht from his own designs. and
it is probable that other yachtsmen will
build trial boats, and both Linton Hope
and Arthur E. Payne are likely to be rep
resented In this class
On the part of the defender, the Royal
St Lawrence Yacht club, as in the past,
no efforts will be spared in getting to-
gether trial fleet, from which fast boat
may be selected to properly represent the
club. When this is done the selection of
a skipper will undoubtedly fall on Mr.. G.
FL. Duggan, who has successfully defend
ed the cup since It came into the pos
session of the Royal st. Lawrence Yacht
club.
