for converting the college into a CO.

WILSON CUP WON
BY YACHT ELLEN

Marblehead, Mass, September 9.--The
final race in the German American
sender yacht series and probably the
last of the International contests which
began with this type of boat in 1906.
was won today by the Ellen, owned by
Charles p. Curtis and sailed by his
son. The victory carried with 1T the
President Wilson cup, which will be
handed to the Ellen's crew in the par
lors of the White House Thursday.
The Gina, the other survivor of the
elimination races, owned by Guy Lowell
of Boston, was one minute and 33 Sec
onds astern of the Ellen in today's
race. Tonight at the last formal ban
quet in connection with the visit of
the German yachtmen, Governor FOss
presented to the crew of Gina the
jewel case which was second prize in
the series
From informal discussion among the
yachtsmen of both countries, 1t is ex-
pected that further German American
yacht races will be sailed with what
are known in Germany as six-metre
boats. corresponding to class B yachts
in this country. If such series is ar
ranged It will not be sailed before 1915
and probably not until 1916.
