the latter part Of 1906. 1t was, however,
agreed to let the matter stand over 10
await the performances Of the frst-class
racing cutter White Heather II, then
building at the Fairlea yard.
The phenomenal success which attend
ed the cutter seems to have decided those
interested to go on Immediately with
their plans. 'and definite steps have now
been taken.
Glasgow. July 1S-It is stated that Mr.
Fife. who is now on his way to America,
has been commissioned to design a yacht
that will challenge for the Americas cap.
It is reported that Denny Bros. viii build
the boat. Several wealthy Scottish yachts
men are interested with Sir Thomas Lip
ton in challenging next year.
According TO the News the challenge
will be sent to the New York Yacht Club
within q week or two.
Reticent as to Plans.
All the usual retiCence surrounding past
contests has been observed. The name Of
the challenger is unknown. Sir Thomas
Lipton's name is naturally connected with
the enterprise, but IL is in no wise certain
that he is the challenger. There has been
much consultation among the leading
yachtsmen of the Clyde, but whether they
are helping Sir Thoma' with advice, or
forming syndicate, as in the case Of the
Thistle, cannot be learned.
There is reason 10 believe that Mr.
Fife has accepted commission to a.
sign the boat. and II this is true, his
action suggests that the defenders have
abandoned their determination TO stand
fast on their rights under the original deed
OF gift. and have granted Mr.. Fife at least
part OF the concessions he declared were
necessary for carrying on the contest.
Mr.. Fife sailed for America on Satur-
day last. It is understood that clinching
the negotiations is part of the business
which is taking him across the water.

to be driven out even when Indian
hunters roamed the district with a
