LIproN's SECOND ,Acnr.

Henderson and Denny each Building
"a Racer for Sir thomas.
SO many contradictory rumors regard
ing the building of the America" cup
challenger on the other side have been
published here, that American yachtsmen
have been at sea as TO whether the true
challenger was being built az Henderson's
or Denny's, In Glasgow, and what the
purpose and who the owner of the mys-
terious second yacht, the construction of
which had without doubt been begun,
can be.
1t has been variously stated that Sir
Thomas Upton is building his shamrock
III, at Henderson's. that he Is building it
at Denny's, that the Denny boat belongs
either to the Prince OF Wales or the
German emperor, and rice rersa The
Yachting World, the English authority
on the subject, was quoted as stating posi-
lively that the challenger was being built
at Denny's, while side by side with this
report was a quotation from "a letter
written by Sir Thomas Upton, saying
that he was building at Henderson's.
1t is now learned that the boat at Hen
derson's, hitherto accredited both to the
Prince of Wales and to the German en-
peror, as well as that at Denny's, are being
built by Sir Thomas Upton; that it was
not the chslienger's original intention to
build two boats, but now that the work
has been begun, both boats will be COM
pleted and launched.
The facts in the case are as follows:
When Designer Watson had completed his
first designs for a new shamrock" the
order was at once placed with the Hem
derson's, and they were told to go ahead
with all dispatch and complete the con-
struction OF the yacht. The work OF
moulding the keel and laying the frame
was accordingly begun. Watson was not,
however, satisfied that he had exhausted
the possibilities of speed in his first de-

The question of '.what we shall resdn is a
hrosd and deep one There is fashion in
books as in other things. An author
makes a success OF book by introducing
some new and possibly startling theory or
experience II may be sshypnotism," it
may be dialect story, and straightway
other authors initiate the story or the
style.
We used to think that popular" book
was good book, but we are not so sure of
it in these days Some argue that If a
book is true to life it is a good book, while
others might class it among the s'doubt-
fui'. The record Of bad life as portrayed
in some books leaves an influence for evil
In making many books" it is safe to
say not all are suitable reading for all
classes of readers. Authors intend to
write such stories as will sell; when the
general public demands clean literature 1t
will get it. There are thousands of good
books-restful, inst, uctive, enjoyable-we
need and want variety.

your recommendations or crit cisms on
