Lively Discussions Being
Waged In Yachting Circles.

Unless all signs fail, the Brooklyn
Yacht Cubs international challenge
trophy will amount to about as much
as that of the King Edward and Lip
ton cups, which were given for compe-
tition between yachts "f the world at
jamestown.
It Sir Thomas Upton comes to this
country to race for the Brooklyn Yacht
Clubs trophy, it will be surprising in
deed to yachtsnien. who believe that
the only real attraction for Upton here
il the Americas cup. The Brooklyn
Yacht Club. with a great display Of APP
parent sportsmanlke spirit. offers a
cup npon the most generous terms, and
stipulates that any size and any type
of yacht will do and any length of
CourSe-in fact, that it will agree to
anything that the challenger may de-
sire, so long as the race is sailed under
the rules of the Atlantic coast confer
ence.
The whole tenor of the club in Offer
ing the cup has the spread eagle" as
pect and seems simply as rebuke to
the biggest and best of all yachting
organizations in this country, the New

than an open denunciaticn of the New

consider its unSportsmanlike answer to
Sir Thomas Upton.
The New York Yacht Club needs no
defence. and it acted wholly within it's
rights and within the provisions of the
deed Of gift, under which races for the
Americas cup must be sailed.
While the Brooklyn Yacht Club may
create some interest by offering a tro-

After considerable enthusiasm was

and the discussion of its broad sports

the club then passed q resolution not
80 enter any boats in the race from

itself to stand ready to meet any chal-

Notwithstanding. by refusing to permit
any Of its members to enter the race
to Bermuda. To the mind Of the
sportsman who views things in the

the passing of the resolution regarding
the Bermuda race seems incompatible
with it's hurrah for fair play and
craftsmanship voiced earlier in the

This is certainly queer world and

they are among the highest type of
