MANY oNE-DEsIGN BOATS BUILDING.
Outlook Is for Good Racing in Small Craft
Glasses This Year.

The yachting season Of 1906 from the present out
look. seems full Of promise Of good things in the
way Of racing in all the classes. and there are
many Of them. The Oue-desigu boats have been
steadily increasing in favor, because they bring
out the latent ability of the owners 10 sail Them
being. I'm other words schools Of instruction for
the amateur yachtsmen.
There IS doubt that the New York Yacht
Clubs class OF 3O-footers Will again be popular
Some OF them have been sold since last year. but
there will probably be at least dozen of them in
commission for 1906 and right good sport ley are
sure to furnish in any club race in whic- tley are
entered.
Dozens Of smaller one-desgn boats building
race this season. and none of them will probably
furnish more fun than the little 15-footers planned
by George Cory. of the Manhasset Bay Yacht
Club which, for the price, 500, said to excel
in strength and good looks any boats OF that size
yet produced. Other one-design craft in the dOry
class being turned out and II would not be
surprising II the new boats Of this type should

The snowstorTn on Thursday made the out

Sands Pierre Loriard jr., and other crack play
ers in the national court tennis championship at
Tuxedo Saturday. is at the top of his game
and experts who have seen him play at Georgian
Court recently expect him 70 win the Gold Racquet.
He has been working up his cut stroke for the
month, with the result that he is able TO place
the ball to much better advantage Forester, the
Georgian Court marker has given him some ex-
CelIeut practice in rootwork and has developed
more resourCefulness in his play.
Jay Gould who is only seventeen years old, made
a remarkable showing against Peter Latham. the
English champion, during his visit to Georgian
Court several weeks ago Latham declared him TO
be the best player of his years that he had ever
seen. and predicted that he would be a future
champion al court tennis.
