In yachting circles interest has CEN
tered in the three newly arrived motor
crafts which belong to Clement B. New
bold. Edgar Scott and John HERSHEY Nit
chell, Sd, all of Philadelphia. The three
crafts answer to the names Of Pampero,
Romp and Scallywag, and were built
exactly alike to the minutest detail.
Their owners drew lots for their pos
session on completion, and the crafts
are as nearly alike in speed, appearance
and finish as the hand of the builder
could make them. They are sixtyfooters
| and designed to settle the question Of
supremacy. A series of power boat
races is being arranged, with the three
owners at the various helms, and as all
are keen spOrtSmen, and each boat has
four knots per hour there should be
some lively brushes when they get
together.
