travels and enjoys it. His home life

HER MAIDEN PLUNGE.
Cup Offender, Reliance, Is Success
fully Launched.
INTERESTING SCENE AT BRISTOL.
Great Crowd Witnesses the Ev -nt and
the New Ninety-FOOt Yacht lis
Greeted by Cheers-A De-
scription.

Bristol. II. l., April f2.-Capt. Nat
Herreshoff's latest creation, the pros
pective cup defender. Reliance, was
launched Saturday evening. At $3.50
o'clock she began TO move down the
WAYS. and twelve minutes later she
was water borne. The Reliance
slipped down the ways in her SING
cradle in the most dignified manner
and dropped into the waters of Mar
ragansett Bay as if she were con-
scious that the first act of her ma
rine life should be decorOus.
The designer, the busiest man in
this beehive OF industry, was the
controlling genius of the function.
Men of millions looked on and greet
ed the yacht with plaudits. Society
women gowned resplendently added
their voices to the cheers of specta-
tors, and the stout-lunged fellows
who have worked on the new yacht
ing baby stirred the air with their
cries Of welcome. This was the
thrilling influence under which the
Reliance made her initial bow.
Members of the nimble crew set
the American yacht ensign at the
stern, the private signal of c. Oliver
Iselin amidship and the New York
Yacht club burgee at the bow, all the
bunting being the gift of the club,
as was the American champagne
with which she was baptized. Miss
Nora Iselin was attended on the
launching platform by her father,
her sister, Miss Fannie Iselin; Col
William Goddard, of Providence;
Newberry ID. ThOrne, of New York,
and one or two others. With silver
hammer, suitably engraved, she
smashed the bottle, ribbon-wrapped
with her fathers fighting colors, and
formally gave the defender her
name. with this l christen you the
Reliance" she exclaimed, and in her
next breath whispered the prayer
And may heaven guide you to vic
tory" She left the platform with
dress drenched, while from her fla
theirs face trickled drops of the
sparkling liquid.
New York Yacht club members big
in it's councils stood at the bow of the
tender Sunbeam as the yacht fioated.
Her designer was launched with the
boat. Three cheers for Herreshoff!' -
shouted former Commodore Ledyard,
swinging his hat above his head, and
the response told dcubly of the great
esteem in which the designer is held
by the men who are leaders among
men. \ band played '"The Star Span
gled Banner" whistles made pande-
monium, and the Reliance had begun
her mission.
1t is expected that she will have her
trial spin in about ten days, after which
she will have a thorough trying out
meeting both the Constitution and the
Columbia in series of 35 races in
Long Island sound, off Sandy Hook
and at Newport. Should she prove
superior to her two rivals she will meet

The New Defender,

The Reliance is decided departure
on the part of Herreshotf from his
other cup defenders, and is an excel
lent example of the American, type of
fat-foored, fn-keeled boats. She is
not such an extreme Swimming keeled
dish as was the Independence, but she
nevertheless resembles the Crownin-
shield boat more than she does any of
her predecessors built here. Her lines
are very easy, with few hard places,
and a graceful, sweeping curve from
the bilgeS into the garboards. Her
stern is very fiat, so that she will leave
but little wake, while her bow, al
though not quite so broad and fiat as
that of the Independence, is still very
much different from the bow of either
the Constitution or the Columbia. She
has long keel, but owing to her good
beam does not carry so much lead in
the bulb as the other cup defenders.
Her bow toward the end is quite sharp
while herV taffrail measures scarcely
eight feet. Her greatest beam is we'll
up in the shoulders. and is carried aft
many feet
