Bow First Launching

1t has been decided to launch the
Defiance bow first from skids on which
she will be taken to the waters edge
at low tide. The dip will be so pro-
nounced that it is deemed best to
have no one aboard except those mem-
bers of the crew needed to attend the
lines.
Those in charge of the launching are
undecided whether to have Miss
Frances Clark of Philadelphia, who is
to act as sponsor, break the custom
airy bottle of wine against the sloop's
side or smash it against the stern. The
first plan would require the erection of
a launching platform extending over
the water; the second could be ac-
complished in the manner by which
vessels usually are christened at the
bow.
Gov. Haines Spectator
The launching will be witnessed by
Gov. Haines, it is expected, and by
large party of yachtsmen, among
them delegation from the New York
Yacht Club. Miss Clark, the sponsor,
is the daughter of E. Walter Clark,
treasurer OF the yacht syndicate. Mr..
Clark and George NJ. Pynchon of New
York, another member of the syndi-
cate here, are watching preparations
for the launching. Captain Selah How
