CUP YACHTS WILL
NOT EXCEED 70
FEET
WATER LINE DIMENSION WILL
BE NO GREATER THAN THAT
BY AGREEMENT

New York, Jan. 7-An agreement
has been made by all those members
of the New York Yacht club who are
interested in the boats to- be built
for the defense of the Americas cup
next summer whereby none Of the
prospective defenders will be more
than seyenty-five feet on Ine water
line. This will be strictly adhered
to in the construction Of the yachts.
They will be less than rs feet water
line, but it is more than likely that
all three designers who are working
out plans will adopt the stipulated
limit Of water line length and work
out their creations with that dimen-
sion as a basis.
When Sir Thomas Upton sent his
challenge for the coming races he
specified that his new Shamrock
would be 75-foot water line boat,
and endeavored to persuade the New
York Yacht club to agree to defend
the cup with a boat with this same
dimension. This the cup committee
of the club declined to do. 1t with
held the privilege under the, deed Of
gift Of defending the cup with any
size boat it might choose. The mem
bers were merely adhering strictly
to the deed Of gift. Now, with the
race arranged the defending owners,
several of whom were on the cup
committee, have come forward OF
their own accord in most sportsman-
like way with an announcement that
means to Sir Thomas: You have de

cided on the size Of the boat; that
suits Us and may the best boat win.
The EEerreshoff boat is well under
way, while the material for the craft
being built by Lawley & Sons in.
South Boston is fast being assembled.
The materials for the third cup can
didate ordered last week by a syndi-
cate headed by e. Walter Clark OF
Philadelphia and George M. Pyncnon
Of this city will be ordered in few
days. George owen Of Newtown,
Mass, designer OF this boat, is rap
idly completing his plans, which we're
decided upon in the rough when the
contract was made. He was in con-
ference yesterday with President
John S. Hyde Of the Bath Iron Works
OF Bath, Me, where the boat will
be built. John McInness. superintend-
ent Of the shipbuilding plant, viii
supervise the construction. The yacht
will be built under cover and be
closely guarded. No information about
the plans is available except that the
hull will be Of bronze.
Mr.. Clark has decided to have his
s0-foot schooner Iroiita, formerly the
Queen, fitted out as a tender for the
cup yacht. The crew will live on the
Irolita and all the extra sails and
spars will be carrien aboard her. Mr..
Pynchon's cruising power yacht Marie
also will be used as subtender that
can be despatched about easier than
the big schooner.
The keel mould of the sloop to be
built at the Herreshoff shops on Mar
ragansett bay at Bristol, is said to
be one of the finest pieces Of work
manship ever turned out there. That
the boat is to have a centerboard
came as surprise to many. In
equipping the new craft with a board
Designer Herreshoff is reverting in
way to the Vigilant, the cup de-
fender Of 20 years ago, which had a
board that proved Of great virtue in
the cup races, but which gave her
owners in later years no end Of
trouble by it's becoming iammed on
several occasions. Herreshoff placed

Morton f. Plants schooner Elena
That one was great success.
An effort was made to keep the cen
terboard feature Of the new cup yacht
a secret for the present at least, but
the shape Of her keel Immediately in
iicated that the boat would have a
board to aid her in going to wind
ward, and the cavity Of square cor
ners in the mould bore out the fact
Beside the keel mould being provided
with a centerboard well attachment,
the keel which was cast showed the
same area Of, slot or we'll.
This keel plate is now in the ma
chine shops undergoing smoothing and
boring for the lag screw connections.
1t is fine casting, in two sections,
each fitted with longitudinal and
cross section webs and flanges. It
is made Of manganese bronze and

the lead keel with the hull proper,
as was pointed out week ago
The centerboard win be Of moderate
size, as 1t will have a drop Of only
eight feet from the lowest point Of
the lead. The work Of placing the
keel mould on the rebuilt railway
and packing the sides with sand to
prevent the contour from change is
almost carried out.
