SIR THOMAs's CHALLENGE.
IL Is Believed 20 Be similar to the One Sent
Last Year,

Who will build the next Cup defender Is the
question most discussed among yachtsmen'
but no one who has aspirations that way mas
said anything about giving an order Tor a ne"
yacht. II is not likely that any plans Will be
formulated until the challenge OF the Royal
Ulster Yacht Club has been made pubic ana
this will be at the special meeting OF the New
York Yacht Club. which has been called for to-
morrow evening ut the clubhouse. The chal-
lengs Is reported 10 be similar TO the last one
received. which was for a race between yachts
of the OO-foot class of sloops or cutters. II was
thought that Sir Thomas Upton would challenge
with n yawl, because george l.. Watson has been
so successful with Il boat of that rig. but those
who are in a position to know the contents OF
the document which arrived last week declare
that the race will be between single-masted
yachts, and that the same conditions that gov
erned the races between the Columbia and
the Shamrock will prevail In the contests In
1901.

r rRSns "ad made sHia in nn the ne hes tS one' III He h Msn asked,
however, that the race take place In August,
which will be ten months after the receipt

annual cruise Of that organization always
and il is thought that II the international races
are to be sailed then II will neCessitate a change
Of date for the annual analr IL IL argued
that setting the date for the Cup races in August
will hardly give time for the defending yacht
TO be built and get in proper trim. but IL the
challenger can be constructed. cross the ocean
and be ready, there Is no reason why the de-
fender should not come to the starting line
on time.
There Is no doubt that George J. Watson.
who IL Il said will design the challenger, has
his plans completed and will start work on the
new yacht az soon at the challenge has been
formally accepted In this country. Heres
hon. who viii probably construct the defender,
also has plans for n yacht Of this class, and
many yachsmen who have visited the works
at Bristol have seen the designs for n 0O-footer
which Nat Herreshoff has said would beat
the Columbia several minutes over a thirty
mile course. There are more convenlences
now for building a big boat at Bristol than
there were when the Columbia was ordered.
The shops then had TO be enlarged and ways
built There was considerable dredging done
In order to launch the Columbia successfully.
The owners Of the latter had 70 pay for these
improvements and this year those who settle
the bills for the defender will not have such
a costly Job.
