BRISTOL BOAT IN NO HURRY.
CAPTAIN NAT PAYS NO ATTENTION TO

Herreshor foremen asked tonight If in his
opinion the statement that the Boston yacht
TO be launched in about month had any effect in
acceeratng the work the Belmont syndicate
yacht being built here Not in the least he said.
We have our orders to hurry the work along as
fast possible, but not to slight any part in the
smallest particular. Any one acquainted with Cap
tain Nat does not need to be told that he pays
very little attention to what his rivals in yacht
building are doing. He has enough his mind in
experimenting the building OF his own yacht with
out thinking Of other boats at present.
Captain Nat Is a modest man. but he has full
confidence IN himself. and II is safe say that he
IS not worrying in the least about the outcome of
next summers races. This confidence Is shared by
all OF at the shops. and We always back the
Herreshoff yachts to the limit at the time of the
races. We hope the Lawson boat will have a shy

money. We never hear anything said in regard TO
date for the launching. but the Herreshoff boats
always put overheard when they ready, and
