GOULD TO RACE Vanderbilt

William X. Vanderbilt. Jr., will race
his steam yacht Tarantula again against
Howard Goulds Niagara ~ The con-
test will take place over a 4o-mile course
on the Sound next summer. probably off
Port jefferson.
These two steam yachts have met twice
before. and each has won race.
The first time they met was in 1901. and
the little white Niagara, with nothing
but n smokestack and fTail bridge above
her long, narrow hull. won by three min
utes and 80 seconds over a 39-mile course.
Last September they raced again over 10
miles OF water off Port jefferson, and
the Tarantula turned tho tables on her
rival The injudbcious use OF hard coal
I'm the Niagara's boilers beat her. because
not until the race was half over could
sufficient steam be gotten UP.
The Tarantula, a picture OF slate
colored torpedo boat. came home tear
ing through the water an easy winner
by two minutes and 50 seconds. On board
the racers were their owners, who enjoy
more than anything else the friendly RI

cup that the two yachts raced for and n
5000 check, with which Gould backed his
boats chances but on the result of the
race hangs the tale.
Vanderbilt saw the following I'm the
nead or story OF the rhCes supremacy
not certain, as the defeated yachts fires
worked badly" Now the two millionaire
ynchtsmen were not racing for the Nj
agara w. Cup alone. or the $4,000 sweep
stake. Gould gave the cup. and both OF
them have more trophies than they know
what to do with; likewise they did not
need the money. They had ruined their
sweaters and white ducks with smoke
and begrimed their yachts for n friendly
argument in supremacy.
An so, when the present Commodore
Vanderbilt learned that his rival had
been unlucky he wrote and offered to
race again. Gould has accepted and
once more these two yachts spotless
perfecuons OF marine architecture, will
be transformed into smoke -besmirched
and unsightly objects, two more suits Of
white hannels Will be ruined but with
experience as a teacher no blunders Will
mar the race and one OF the two swift
yachts will be crowned the undisputed
champion.

FIGHTERS REST

Final training stunts by Fitzsimmons
and O'Brien sustained the opinions of the
expert fans on the coast that Fitz retains
all his oldume prowess IN the use OF tho
gloves, but his age has undoubtedly i'm
paired his wind.
On the other hand. Brien has become
heavier and stronger. and has developed
his punching power to marked extent.
on this showing the Philadelphian is a
strong favorite and will probably enter
the ring at odds OF 2 to /.
Were 1t not for the fact that Fitz is
wobbly on his pins and short OF wind,
the coast sports would pile their money
on him but they fear the willy O'Brien
will tire the old man out.
A medical examination shows that Bob's
wind Is his only weak point, but experts
say this is enough. and IL ne wins ne
must make very quick work of his an
tagonist
OBrien is aware OF this state of affairs
and will act accordingly. Yesterday he
said
"I will peck at the old mans face and
blind him. After he Is good and tired
will send one over that will put him In
dreamland."
owing TO the presence OF an unusually
large crowd OF spectators O'Brien ex-
tended his gymnasium work. One OF his
hands IL trihe sore and he favored Il
I'm all his work, cutting all vigorous spar
ring.
Fftzsimmons will move into the city to-
day. A big crowd went out 10 see him,
and for their benefit he welted the bag for
ten rounds. doing some fine blocking with
fists, elbows and forearms.
II developed yesterday that there is a
nasty row on among the fight promoters
It Is hinted that the defeated promoter
through jealousy. is largely responsible
for statements that Fitz cannot make
condition. The age OF the Cornishman
helps out this story, and there is evidence
supporting a. so Il is difficult TO figure
out how the statement is knocking the
show
Men who Witnessed the last fight be-
tween Fitz and O'Brien, say Ffts had II
on the Philadelphian. and they argue
that Fitz must have retrograded 10. a
marked degree, or that O'Brlen must have
come up at swift pace TO warrant odds
of 2 TO l. at which the men are likely TO
enter the ring a.
some wagers were laid and last night
at 20 10. which appears more logical
than higher odds.
Because OF the comparatively low scale
OF prices introduced by Manager Cofrroth
Il is expected every seat will be taken
This would mean a $1,000 house. and the
fighters win split UP about $1,000 at 65
