CUP YACHT RESOLUTE
LAUNCHED YESTERDAY
Miss Grace Vanderbilt Christens Boat
Trial Spin to Be Taken
Saturday.

Special TO The Washington Herald.
Bristol, r. l., April 5--The Yankee
Cup yacht Resolute. the first of the trio
of boats being built by members of the
New York Yacht Club for the defense
of the American Cup, and incidentally
for the honor of meeting Sir Thomas Lip
toms Shamrock " in the international
races of Sandy Hook next September.
was successfully launched from the
yards of her builders, the Herreshof' s
at Bristol shortly before dusk this even
ing.
The beautiful craft, as it slid down the
ways. with her snow white top sides and
bronze underbody glistening like gold in
the fading sun. was christened Resolute
by Miss Grace Vanderbilt. the pretty
fourteen-year old daughter of Cornelius
Vanderbilt. one of the owners of the
boat. The Resolute was a surprise to
the critics as instead of a big powerful
boat they saw a beautiful modelled cre-
alton of easy lines and with the smallest
overhanging, particularly aft. ever seen
on a cup defender.
At the conclusion of the launching
II was announced that the yacht would
probably have her first trial spin next
Saturday afternoon.
