JOINS THE TURFMEN.
Senator Clark to Compete With Whit
ney, Belmont and Keene.

United States Senator William A. Clark
is the latest acquisition of the American
turf. Thoroughbreds bearing his colors and
managed by his son, Charles, will race on
the metropolitan tracks this summer
When the late Marcus Daily was alive and
the hatred between him and Clark was SO
intense that they sought in every way to
gain the mastery over each other Clark
purchased four race horses and ran them
on the Montana tracks controlled by DAILY
But he soon tired Of the thoroughbreds and
they were sold. He has not raced horses for
nearly ten years.
After his great ambition to become United
States senator was realized 'he began to
look for some form Of recreation for the
dull summer months. The success of his
son on the Montana circuit where he was
recently elected president of the Jockey
clubs OF Anaconda and Butte, induced him,
it is said, to try the turf again.
1t was learned yesterday that Senator
Clark had conferred with Philip J. Dwyer
and Frank r. Hitchcock as to trainers,
jockeys and horses. Mr.. Clark, it Is said,
informed both men that 1t was his inten-
ton to race horses on scale BETTING his
wealth and to become a competitor of mil
Aonaires like w. C. whitney. August Bel
mont and James r. Keene.
Lew Gilmore was suggested for trainer

chartered at the Empire City track last fall

GOLF DATES.
Many Applicants for Next Seasons
National Championships,

NatAOA4aA SAAssAAHAV4ASAAARS
Three applications for the woman's ma
tional golf championship have been received
by Maturin Ba11ou, secretary of the United
States Golf Association. at his offices in
New York, to be acted on at the annual
meeting on February II. They include those
from the Atlantic City Club the Chicago
Golf Club and the Onwentsia Golf Club Of
Lake Forest. I'll. 1t is the first time that
contest. and there Is strong sentiment in
the west In favor of its selection. The On
wentsia club would have asked for the
women's championship in 1899, but was
induced to take the amateur championship
in order to please the executive committee
which was experiencing some difficulty In
disposing OF 1t. The club Is the center of
a prominent social colony at Lake Forest
and would be able to provide a great deal
Of entertainment for the contestants outside
the mere tournament
The Atlantic City course Is naturally the
favorite with eastern women, many of
whom expect to go west next year to at
tend the ST. Louis fair, and are anxious to
have a western choice deferred until that
time. It was at Atlantic City that the anna
teur championship Of 1901 was held. when
the links came in for unusual praise. Since
then many improvements have been made.
and, with the ample hotel accommodations
and outside attractions which the place
affords, 1t would be popular choice with
the contestants
The Baltusrol Golf Club has asked for
the amateur or the open Championship, pre-
ferably the former. The clubs which have
Informed the secretary of their inability to
accept any Of the championships are the
Garden City Golf Club, Breokline Country
Club, ArdsIey Club and Philadelphia Coun-
try Club.
The affair will be settled by a majority
vote of the delegates at the annual meeting.
Each of the associate clubs Is entitled to one
vote. while the allied clubs Will be per-
mftted to send delegates, but will have no
voice In the actual voting.

CUP DEFENDERS POINTS.
Eagle Modelled Very Close to the Con
stitutiou.

In the makeup of the new defender.

Designer Nat Herreshonf has taken the
Constitution to improve upon rather than
the Columbia. which shows that he thinks
the Constitution the faster boat
As to beam, there Is not much radical Diff
ference between the Constitution and the
Eagle. In the overall length there is a
gain OF Just under feet. or 100 feet over
all. over the Columbia. and she is feet
longer than the Constitution. Their mid
ship sections are wide apart, and Just here
the difference of the Constitution and the
Eagle begins.
Long overhangs in the new boat give a
designer a chance to pull out the water
lines, ease the section lines at their ends
and also the diagonals. They smooth the
yachts ends up also and give an easy
sweep not to be had In shorter and stubbier
overall lengths.
In the midship section of the new boat
there Ia no sharp dead rise, which gives
ease In a seaway, the came as the Column
bia. The new boat has a fiatter floor, with
less area to the midsection. thus giving a
smaller coeficient.
On just a shade more beam q more DOW
erful boat on less displacement hase been
turned.
No other conclusion can be reached than
that Mr.. Herreshon has worked to get q
more powerful boat on quite the same
beam as the Constitution, and in the new
boat he has It.
