YACHTsMEN DISSATISFIED.
Racers for International Contest Not
Considered of Suitable Type

London, Oct. 28.-The Field. referring
to Sir Thomas Lipton's challenge for the
Americas cup, says
THE second challenge OF Sir Thomas
Upton for the Americas cup attracts an
immense amount Of attention in certain
circles. Although the conditions OF these
races are regarded by yachtsmen as far
from satisfactory, the much-adyer1ised
international event has a strange faScina-
ton for the public. In the present in
stance neither the challenger nor the de-
fender. which is a second edition OF the
Columbia, will be a vessel of the type
which experienced yachismen consider
suitable for racing in American or Brit
ish waters. The Shamrock, although sna
cost many thousands of pounds to con-
Struct, under British rules Is really not
worth the price of her lead. The amount
of money thrown away in turning out
yacht OF the Shamrocks' type is probably
of little moment 10 the owner Of a mod
ern cup challenger or defender. but the
wasted energy expended In designing and
building vessels of this kind is an ire
trievable loss 10 the science of yacht
architecture.
of every Corinthian sailor. but SO long as
the Americas cup racing is carried on for
purposes other than the love of sport and
the encouraging of yacht designing 1t can
never be regarded as one of the best
phases of yacht racing. The Americas
cup. competed for by unwieldly machines
such as the Columbia and Shamrock has
ceased to command the good wishes OF
