"The first proposal for this racing
was to allow one hour for every foot
of racing length, but before the matter
was settled the owner of the Lurline
made table which, on publication,
Showed that if the same allowance had
been made in the EmDOrer's race, the
Atlantic would have had to allow the
Fleur- de-Lys over GA hours, and that
consequently this smallest boat of the
bunch would have won the race by 10
hours and 33 minutes, when she really
arrived two days five hours and thirty
two minutes behind the Atlantic. This
had the effect of cutting down the
time allowance TO 80 minutes for each
foot. But we were all in the air as
to how the thing would pan out. and
nothing but actual trial could give a
line.

a racing boat requires. The chief trOu-

that she was a good thing killed, and
