TO OFFER R4CING CUP.
Sir Thomas Nay Hare another
Chance to Challenge.

Commodore William c. Towen of the Brook
Iyn Yacht Club. one OF the Oldest In America
having been organized in 1857, has taken up the
question of international yacht racing in man
ner that many believe will meet with popular
approval and If his plans are carried out Sir
Thomas Upton may still have an opportunity
to race in these waters In 1908 for trophy
which while 1t may not have the historical value
of the Americas Cup, VIII be or more than treoIe
its intrinsic value.
At a recent meeting of the Brooklyn Yacht
Club Commodore Towen proposed that the club
offer a cup valued at from 81, 500 TO $4,000 for
international competition by vessels of n sea-
worthy type built under the rating rule now In
use by the principal clubs of America and Eng
land Accordingly a committee Of three. consist
ing of Colonel David c. Austen. Victor Hugo
Koehler and G. b. SchoCk. was appointed TO
consider the best means of bringing about such
a contest and to frame the rules that shall gov
crn the races for the trophy. This COM
mittee is TO report at a special meeting, 10 be
held at an early date. and the club as whole
Is to take action upon the matter at the annual
meeting in December.
Commodore Tewen said last night that the
officers and members of the Brooklyn Yacht
Club long distance" racing men. I'VE
believe" said he, that some club here ought to
take up that end OF the sport and develop it.
We will offer a cup, and let any country chal-
lenge for it with a 4O-foOter schooner, In
fact any boat of reasonable dimensions, and We
will defend it. l will build soop or a schooner,
end l know others that Will The little Mi
nerva, a 4O-footer. came over here on her own
bottom in 1880 and beat all until the Nymph
and others of that class built. Since then
we have had nothing except racing machines
Our club builds boats that race to Bermuda,
boats of a wholesome type. and those are the
kind we want to see challenge for our cup. No
trophy ought to be surrounded with too many
technicalites No foreigner wants to race for
a cup under conditions that make him build 4

he has either or lost the race"
