days or when there was smooth water.
"B. b. Crowninshield, the designer Of the
Marblehead. and who IN a clever skipper,
raced a boat OF his design Vailed the Uncle
Sam some years ago at kiel and knows
what the conditions there are like. and he
designed the Marblehead with a view to
meeting them. She may surprise some or
those who think that she will not prove
30 fast as the other two boats. but the gen.
eral opinion inclines to the Spokane and
Chewink II the conditions are what are
expected in August at KEEL.
The first race will be on August Is. and
the conditions will be practically the same
as those which governed the Roosevelt cup
races on this side last year, The first race
will be eagerly awaited. as this will tell the
story in a measure a. to what the outcome
will be.
otto Protzen il regarded as h most
dangerous rival skipper. and his new boat
Is said 10 be going very fast. especially IN
breezes. He sailed the Wannsee ON this
side in the Roosevelt cup races and saved
the Germans from a complete shutout by
winning one OF the series.
The Germans have made greas prepa-
rations to meet the American boats, and
will be represented at h starting line
by the pick Of thirty boats, seventeen OF
which are new craft designed very
along American lines, and which are Tar
more radical than either the Wannsee the
lilly vi. or the Gluckauf ". which sailed
here last year.
1T is believed that the Germans will make
the American boats hustle, as they will be
fighting it out in their home waters and
under different conditions from those
met at M~arblehead, but the three boats
which go across will be handled as we'll az
any three boats which could be picked.

shippers than Frank Macomber, Jr.. OF the
Chewink, j. Lewis Stack pole OF the Spo-

head. They will have some rood crews.
On the Spokane will be two experienced
boat sailors. who raced with Mr.. STACK
pole, while ON the Chewink will be Benjamin

Boles, who sailed with Mr.. Macomber on
the Chewink vi. and other boats. sumner

who has had plenty of experience In small
boat racing. Benjamin L. Tower. who
goes on the Chewink. owned and raced
the Corinthian In the trials. but failed TO
place. He is a clever skipper and Will DO
a valuable assistant to Mr.. Macomber.
The boats are well equipped with sails
and spars for use In case OF accident. The
Marblehead had a new mast made at Law
ley's, al the one which she used IN the trial
races showed a bad whip during the stronger
puffs wheh the boat was by the wine The
Chewink and the Spokane have also had
new spars made. The boats we're snoothed

men will go from this side with the owners
and crews, and 1t il expected that Vice
Commodore F.. Lewis Clark OF the Eastern
