without success.

share OF attention from the visitors, and
opinions were equally divided as 10 the
relative merits OF the two yachts
One girl selected Capt. wringe as her
particular mentor and after he had ex-
planned every part OF the yacht and its
utility said: "oh. captain. where do you
put the garbage? just heard a man say
your garbage was lower than that OF the

There were many present who are we'll
known in the yachting world, who ex-
amined every curve OF the two boats from
the bottom OF the I'm keels to the lofty
trucks and the end OF bowsprits TO the
long overhanging sterns.
The general opinion was that the chal-
lenger would be at her best In airs that
are less than ten knots, particularly II

were the cause OF much favorable COM
