The committee appointed to adjust the

move all along. Lennon and Burke were
comforting long after the other circuit
members had departed. When he de-
parted last night for st. Paul he declared
the chances for the American association
placing a club in Chicago were better than
ever.

NEW DEFENDER A WINNER
Yachtsmen Think the Herreshoff
Boat Will Prove to Be a
World Beaten.

It is generally understood that the name
Of the new cup defender is to be the Re-
public, although nothing official has been
given out. General Information about.
the yacht is beginning. to get about, and
the talk of those who ought to know is
that Herreshoff is turning out a boat
which cannot be beaten if the proper way
to get out her speed Is adopted. -s.s.. -,
The: element Of driving power attributed
to the craft is of such magnitude, from
the latest learned about her, and Designer,
Herreshoff has gone so near the limit In
that type of: yacht as to cause yachting
men in this vicinity to haYe a firm con-
viction that the challenger that will out
strip her in speed could never, If designed
to such a fine form, he brought across the
Atlantic ocean with safety.
The claim is also made in Bristol that
the designer has gone entirely to the limit
in the type of boatahe is to turn out Of
his shop next April Whatever truth
there is in that assertion Is doubtless
known only to the designer himself. :. But
SO far as the form goes, and 1t Is now be-
ginning to be noticed, as the plates cover
a good part Of the midship section, the
boat looks like q. world beater. When
skilled mechanics, fresh from the ship
yards in Brooklyn on their first sight of
the form of the. boat marvel at the fine
finish of the frames, and the plating, too,
as they did yesterday, there Is evidently a
fineness of construction that Is wholly in
keeping with the excellent model. The
craft will not he a. Swimming dish by any
means. Instead, she is a development
from: the Constitution and as previously
stated has a, dead rise not much different
from that Of the old boat with a floor a
| trifle flatter. . :.
The new craft is 141 feet over all to 132
feet Of the Columbia. Her greatest
breadth of beam is Is feet 81 inches. The
Columbia has a beam of "a feet inches.
Her draft is 10 feet to 20 feet in: the
