SPRINGS.

This popular resort will be open the
first of June. For want of room we
were compelled last season to turn
away several of our guests and patrons.
We are now building an annex to the
hotel one hundred and fifty feet long,
which adds much to the appearance of
the place and greatly increases the ca
pacity. This building will be complet-
ed and nicely furnished by the last
week in June. Other improvements
have been made. Prices same as last
season, SIS to $50 per month and 500
to $500 per week.

LETTER TO LAWSON WITHHELD.
ALTERATIONS IN THE FIFE BOAT HAVE
SPOILED THE GAUGE FOR
SHAMROCK H.

From official sources it learned at the New
York Yacht Club last night that the purport Of
letter sent Tuesday by the challenge COM
mittee to Thomas W. Lawson concerning the entry
of the Independence would be disclosed for
publication until permission is given by the chair
of the committee
Members say that Sir Thomas Upton is doing
the best thing possible for his own chances in
ordering the first Shamrock to New-York to help
tune up the challenger in the short time open to
her after her arrival here and before the first
OF the series September q. Mr.. Barrie, the
Upton agent in this city, said that Sir Thomas
had been in favor of sending the 1899 challenger
from the first, and that the only for think
ing at time that she might as we'll remain on
the other side that possibly she could do her
full duty in shaping the Watson craft to her best
PAGES while both were in British waters. When
the present challenger received such setback
through losing her mast and rigging it became
necessary TO send her
The point has been discussed whether or not the
improvements on the first Shamrock have been
such as to make her faster for average American
light weather. whether she has not been better
adapted for English weather solely. The report of
her skipper, Captain Wrnge. that she is now ten
minutes better a thirty mile course is said to
be subject TO discount, because she mas received
several tons more ballast which while making her
more powerful and faster in the heavy, moist
winds of the English Channel would probably rem
der her slower in the light catspaw airs to be met
off Sandy Hook The changes would call for a
time allowance which Tor her 1889 SAILING with the
Columbia would have been practically prOhibitive.
AS to this member of the race committee in
of the Sound yacht clubs said:
l don't learn anything when told that the new
Watson boat is sailing about even terms with
the first Shamrock, because the older boat Is per
forming on a waterne that would render her i'm
possible. through extra time allowance, in race
with the Columbia That fits her all right for the
solid English winds, but if she had to compete here
again she would have TO get this extra ballast out
of her and then she would be about the same boat
that knew here two years ago. Upton was not
fair TO himself to his new boat when he lately
allowed Fife get better speed out of his design
through alteration. This has, 50 far. almost to-
tally prevented any trustworthy estimate of the
Watson design, and | don't why the English
newspapers should adopt such hopeless tone
when the older boat divides the honOrS- The Wat
boat is sailing on her Sandy Hook waterline
