CHANCE ASKED FOR BOSTON BOAT.
BRISTOL YACHTsMEN WOULD LIKE TO SEE
FASTEST YACHT DEFEND THE CUP.

Bristol. r. /, March tspeciaD.-The fact that
the Boston boat cannot sail under Mr.. Lawsons $
colors in the Cup races and may be shut out Of
the trial races between the Columbia and the new
Herreshof yacht is a subject OF much comment
here. Many yachtsmen hereabouts have antici-
pated great sport in witnessing the spirited
brushes between the Herreshof and Lawley boats
next summer off Newport, and are naturally much
disappointed the prospect that a strong element
Of interest will be taken from the races by the
shutting out of the Boston yacht.
Few there be here. indeed who believe that MT.
Lawsons coors would be carried against the
English boat if the New-York Yacht Club should
take the broadest kind of a view ana allow the
fastest boat to defend the Cup. AS prominent
member OF the Rhode Island Yacht Club said to-
night: Doubtless the NewYork yachtsmen are
acting within their rights. but the majority OF
American yachtsmen would prefer a more broad
minded policy and let the best boat nave the
honor of going against the Shamrock H. MOST
people think of the Americas Cup as being thlhS

If the Apawamis Golf Club is able to persuade the
executive committee of the Metropolitan Golf AS
sociation that Its clubhouse is sufficient for the
needs of a championship tournament the club will
get the metropolitan That seems to be the present
status of the controversy. John Du Fails, sccre-
tary of the assOcia ton, has called meeting OF the

then be taken up thoroughly, and Apawamis will
have a chance show why its course should be
chosen in preference to Tuxedo The fear eX-
pressed by friends of the Rye organization Is not
that the links will be criticised. for Apawamis is
acknowledged to have one of the best in the coun-
try but that the accommodations will not prove up
to the requirements of such gathering Last year
at Nassau there were over eighty entries. and with
the rapid growth of the association since that time
believed that the list this spring will run over
one hundred Practical difficulties in the way of
showers and locker what cause the
friends of the club fear for its success.
On the other hand it is pointed out that ample
room can be secured by the erection of tents
which at that season will prove fully as comfort
able as the clubhouse itself. Even Morris County.
when it held the national championship three
years ago was forced to resort to this method OF
providing for it's guests, and those I'm favor or the
Apawamis course say that objection can he
raised to a similar procedure at Rye. If it comes
