DEFENDERS KEEL STARTED.

The active work OF constructing the
wooden mold to be used in forming the
lead keel OF the new cup defender, was
begun Yesterday in the south construc-
tion shops at Bristol.
William Butler Duncan. Jr., the man.
ager OF the new boat did not reach
Bristol until last Friday evening. when
he had a conference with the designer.
His visit had beneficial effect
causing lot OF activity in the various
departments, as noted yesterday about
the boat shops. The. work Of putting to-
gether the mold for the lead keel was
begun at 1880 o'clock on the moor Tor
ward Of the 7o-footer Rainbow.
The base was formed by setting up
part OF the frames near the bow or
the Rainbow and fastening temporary
strips and supports against them to
hold them In position until the mold Is
boarded up from the inside.
The frames used so far are undoubt-
edly those that will be near the after
end OF the lead, as they are nearly
straight. but a number were shaped out
that have not as yet been set up with
slight outward curves on the anterior,
suggesting that the keel Is to be OF
bulbed form.
Those frames are undoubtedly to be
used abaft the amidship section OF the
mold. because IL the lead is bulbed the
bulbs will be more defined at the amid
ship section and forward OF that point.
