 There is much interest in the trial races now being hled for the pick of a craft to defend the cup. Independence had some packers here until the recent trial races, but she is not now consid- cred to be in the class with the two Bristol built boats. It is now quite generally conceded that the Constitu- ton Is the best boat, although there were a number who pinned their faith on the Columbia until the last race. The local yachting sharps say there will be no danger in trusting the defense Of the cup to the Constitution.
 The interest in yachting has been much enhanced by the contests of the big sloop yachts this season and there is now desire among some to get up local race. Sharpie races used to be held on the Quinnipiac river, but of late they have been neglected. It IS thought that such race might be ar ranged for the summer if the right backing was secured. It is years since such race was held and there would be no difficulty in getting up an inter- est, only there seems to be no one Will- ing to go ahead and make the arrange ments. It Is believed there would be no difficulty in scuring contributions for a purse that would give handsome prizes to the successful contestants and sufficient to warrant many boats making a contest. If only some one wiuld take the initiative, it is believed a successful regatta could be sailed.
