British yachtsmen do not think that
there will be many boats to represent
their flag III the coming ocean race for
the German Emperor's cup. The time
set for the race is the chief reason for
this. The Yachting World editorially
says: 1t is true that our British owners
do not cut much of figure in the entry
which has already been made, but this is
SO fully accounted for in the conditions
that they cannot in fairness be excluded
from the conclusions of the argument. A
start from Sandy Hook Oh May 16 will
be easy enough and convenient enough
for yachts which have Wintered and will
fit out anywhere on the New England
coast, but it is very different for vessels
laid UP on this side. The partial outfit
necessary for an ocean passage out, the
voyage, the overhaul in America and the
fitting and provisioning for the race home
combine to make the contest an extreme
ly difficult one for British boats. The
natural difficulty of arranging all these
items is further complicated by the fact
that the outftting and preliminary prep
aration on this side would of necessity
be carried out under conditions eminentIv
unsuita bic to the work and the outward
passage would fall at a season when the
weather on the Atlantic is apt to be a
very trying nature
