TO MANAGE NEW DEFENDER.

William Butler Duncan, Jr., who is to manage the next defender of the Americas cup. was a cadet in the navel academy where he was noted for his skill as a seaman. On the old sloOp-of war aVndalia he was signal officer, and was especially comp.!mented for his work in a letter from Capt. Wallace, commanding. When he resigned from the navy he was for a time interested in the Gorringe shipbuidinS enterprise, and therein acquired practical know ledge in the art of putins a ship to- gether. He was also master and pilot of one of the steamers used by the company. On retiring from that enter prise he became an active yacht sailor, and every old yachtsman remembers when his flag flew from the little cutter Yolande. Then he bought the sixty fve-footer Huron, and made her fam ous in many fine races. He was one of the amateurs of the crews of Vigi- lant. Defender and Columbia. in addi- tion to managing the Defender in Col lumbia's trials against her. When tha first Deer Island crew was enlged for the Defender, MT. Duncan constructed the watch and station bill and super vised the entire organization of that crew which did such excellent work. For several years ne was commander of the first battalion, naval militia, and he was senior watch officer of the Yankee, a ten-gun, 6O00-ton ship in the war with Spain. In his hands the new sloop should be sailed for all there may be in her.

They then formed the contract corporation, inducing Sir James Linton and ether men of impor- tance to act as directors.
