Bright Prospects for Ocean Racing.
Marine Journal: AS it looks now.
ocean yacht racing will be prominent
the coming season. Three large
schooners have been built this winter
and their owners want some racing.
Such craft as the Atlantic. Karina. the
new one for Robert E. Todd: the En-
chantress. w. E. Iselin's new Yacht.
and others of that size can do little OIL
the short triangular courses and races
over ocean courses are best suited for
these craft to show their speed. To
develop such yachts James Gordon
Bennett when commodore of the New
and the Brenton's Reef cups and after
having been in the trophy locker for
many years they are to be in competi-
ton again. The Brenton's Reef Light
ship cup is to be sailed over a course
afrom Berntons Reef lightship off New
port to and around the Ambrose Chan
mel lightship and back It is held sub
ject to challenge and the race must be
sailed within fifteen days of the is
suing of the challenge, but the holder
of the cup does not have to defend It
more than twice in a season.
The condition for the Cape Nav cup
are similar to those for the Brenton's
Reef cup, but the course is from the
Ambrose Channel lightship to and
around the Five Fathom lightship off
Cape May and return. Robert E. Todd
has challenged for both of these cups,
which are held by the Atlantic, owned
by Wilson Marshall. The regatta COM
mittee OF the New York Yacht Club
is anxious to make these two races
features Of the season. and in addition
to the Atlantic and Katrina. defender
and challenger for the cups, IT is very
probable that Morton E. Plants new
schooner Elena, William E. Iselin's new
100-foot schooner Enchantress. and
possibly some others will take part in
the races.

owned by American yachtsmen that
wogld do we'll in such races as these,
and their owners are becoming inter
