New York, Dec. NAVAL officers are
looking forward to the voyage to Ma
Mia that has been ordered by the navy
department for the little tug Wompa-
tuck. which has been doing service in
the Brooklyn navy yard for some time
The order came as a surprise to the Off
GERS in the yard. If she completes the
long trip it will be the first time on rec
ord that Sc small tug has been able to
do so. As to the general purpose or spec
ific reasons for sending the Wompatuck
to Manila naval officers in the yard con-
TESS complete ignorance.
1t was generally believed that the tug
would leave the yard this week, but in
quiry revealed the fact that she is not
expected to go until Sunday. Lieutenant
Commander +. H. Sherman is nominally
in charge, but when the tug sails she
will also have on board Lieut. F. r.

The Wompatuck will go first to Nor
folk, then to Bermuda. The Wompatuck
will then follow out an itinerary which
will take her to Madeira, thence to Gil

England's Prince Likely to Attend
American Yacht Race.

-~-"~~~
New York. Dec. IA dispatch to the
Journal and Advertiser from London
says:
Either the Prince of Wales or the
Duke of York will probably attend the
political and social conditions at that
time permit. The prince would much
like to attend.
An intimation has been conveyed that
if proper official representations be
made the prince would be pleased to
consider them favorably. The prince
has become more deeply interested in
yachting than ever and intends going
in strongly for it next year, watching
the course events in connection with
Lpton's challenge closely. He viii at
tend the trial races between the two
Shamrocks next spring and will prob
ably sail on the new boat.
The proper course for Americans to
get the prince over is for private diplo-
matte limitations to be conveyed from
the president that the princes visit
would be most acceptable, and then for
the comm odore of the New York Yacht
club to invite the prince to attend the
races.
If the prince should have royal
yacht at New York he would witness
the races on that, otherwise on Upton 5
Erin.
If conditions prevent the prince from
going the Duke of York, probably on his
way home from Australia via Canada.
may go to New York for the races.
1t can be stated authoritatively that
the reports that Upton is building the
mysterious yacht on the Clyde for pre-
sentation to the prince are untrue. The
prince could not accept it, nor would
Upton make such a present. The prince
and Upton spend three days together
next week at the country house of Sir
Edward Lawson. where yachting mat
terS will be discussed.
