ENGLISH YACHTsMEN STIRRED
Yachting World Dep,ccates Ordering of
 English Made SaiIs for Defenders.

oA'S" -
 English Made Sails for Defenders London, April 29.-The sensation caus- ed in British yachting circles by the an- nouncement that Ratsey and Lapthorn, the English sailmakers who have an es- tablishment at City Island, N. r., have been given orders for suits of sails for the Reliance, the Constitution and the Columbia, can be best judged by an edt- torial article which appears in The Yachting World of April 30, under the heading "An International CD Contest" This article says:
 "Anglo-Saxon yachtsmen will regret to hear that the forthcoming contest for the Americas cup has practically lost it's international character owing to the accordance os an order for new suit of sails for one of the defenders by Ratsey & Laphorn of Cowes and City Island. Since they happen to be the only individuals other than the actual designer and owner of the challenger who possessed the actual measurements of her sail plate, they have data unsur- passed in the. history of sport"
 COnClUulIlS IHS paper duliilLo LiIoL tile challenger's outfit at present includes blocks of American manufacture. but points out that these neither increase nor decrease a yachts speed, while the sails are so important that one of the leading American yacht clubs estimates them to be more important than the hull.
 What would American yachtsmen think" the Yachting World goes on, If the owner Of the Shamrock III. ap- preached Herreshoff to obtain design for challenger, which he is at perfect liberty to do |"
 In conclusion the paper says it trusts that "those responsible for the sailing of the defender will abandon their in- tention of using anything in the defence of the cup which can be identified with Great Britain
 When Sir Thomas Lipton was spoken to concerning the reports that Batsey & Lapthorn were making sails for the American yachts he expressed his in- credulity. When he read MT. Ratsey's statement to The Associated Press that the City Island branch of the firm had made suit of sails for the Columbia, he said: Under the circumstances I have no opinion to express at present.
 From other sources it has been lean- ed that M. Ratsev promised never to make sails for the defender while Sir. Thomas was challenging for the cup.

ENGLAND FACES Pos
SlBlE MONEY PANIC.

LONDON, March 25.-The chief
features of the transaction of the
track came today. and was the con-
tinued selling of consols, which show
ed further sharp fall. During the
morning consols fell to 80 and even
shade below that figure. There
was practically no home support, but
the continent kept buying small lots.
The possibility of consols being in
the eighties created CONSERVATION,
not only among spectators and in
vestors, but in the great banking in
terests. Should consols go down to
and remain below 80 every British
bank will be obliged to re-organize
its reserve and get out new balances
upon a fresh basis. Such a serious
contingency, however, is scarcely
believed possible.
