 NEW YORK, Nov. 2s-Pre,in,ip.,, ,,,
 details for the 1914 yacht race fo,.
 Inc Americas cup are rapidly hainr
 eonpieted on both sides of the Al.
 iantc. Long before the chaueng--
 and defending candidates slide o,r one ways, the sailing masters sl,;n-
 pers and crews will have been seIee,. eu and all plans arranged for the tr,al and tuning-up races. both of tba Enc fish and American coasts. Three nos. sioie cup defenders are assured for the United States, and one or twn others may he built if those interest cd can find satisfactory yacht build. CTS to undertake the work.
 In England tha actual constrpctio, Of Shamrock ", Sir Thomas Linton challenging yacht, was started on November 3, and the 75-footer is ex. pected to- take the water early in April AltAzug1 five months VIII elapse before the taning-uD process is started, English yachting circles are a-ready busily engaged in discussing the plans for the test races and the selection of the crew and officers f,r Shamrock w. A prominent yachting authority in discussing these prelinl. iharies, says:
 In the trial races between Sir Thomas Lipton's cutters, the new chaI- iengsr Shamrock IV. and the O Id Shamrock 23-metres, built in 1905, W. P. Burton will have sole charge o; both the yachts, and vii sail the challenger, assisted by his saiIin: mas. ter, Albert Turner. The 23-metre wui be steered by Captain Gould, 2 sl,Ip- per who has a high reputation in rac ing circles. That the professional slippers whose names are so familiar to yachting people are not connected with the matches for the Amgrica's cup for 1914 will appear extraordin- ary to many. and it is undoubtedly circumference CT .muoa interest and wi'l form topic of conversation amongst yaehtsmen for many months to come"
 However, good men as they are, Sir Thomas LiptOn has failed before with them in command Of his yachts, and he can but try again with new hands in charge. Captain Gould is not a young man, but he is a skilled racing man, and, while w P. Burton and Albert Turner are of course. typi- cal of the latest school Of seamanshlp in modern racing cutters using all the science and foTet1Ousht that is re- quired in handling the beautiful tall spared racers Of tHe Gay, it may per haps be said that Captain Gould is 6 skipper of an older school"
 The enc point raised at present ap- pears to be regret that a younger piIct Of the modern yachting school was not appointed to send the tr.al yacht against Shamrock ". Criticism is voiced Icy another yachting enthusiast, as follows:
 We know Captain Gould's record is a gcod enc. We very much doubt, however. if fe himself expects to be able to go straight into his new com mana with a new crew and get as much out Of her as Captain Sycamore. The latter had carefully tuned sham rock up and had had the best oppor- tunity of doing so, opposed as he was , day after day t5 a vessel to which he could not afford to give anything away and which was also handled by a skipper as keen and experience in i the class as himself It will take some little time to find ont the form of the boat, with which her former | skipper is already acquainted, and by ] that time the short perSi available { for preliminary trials may have nearly or quite elapsed and the trials will [ have been lacking in conclusiveness. l The new skipper and all concerned undoubtedly will e their utmost to ] tring the old boat up to tte highest pitch possible. Nevertheless, there viii be throughout an element Of
 doubt as to whether even those most
 intimately associated with the trials will Ee able to gauge the merits oi the new boat as conclusively as if
 the old yacht were sailed under Cap {
