YACHT CUP INTEREST KEEP
American Defenders Are Daily At
tracing Much Attention.

NEW YORK, June 27.-with the three
Americas cup defense yschts-Resolute,
vanitie and Defiance-engaged in almost
daily test races and Sir Thomas Lipton's
challenger Shamrock ", preparing to
sail for America, interest in the coming
international races for the famous yacht
trophy Is increasing rapidly The status
and racing ability of the three American
uloops are fairly well established, but the
full possibilities Of the Nicholson seventy
five footer will not be known untn she
can be seen in practice off Sandy Hook.
Her description as cabled from England
points TO a yacht which departs from
many Of the orthodox canons Of sloop
building. Many yachtsmen believe that
Designer Nicholson. with his radical in
novations. has produced q boat that will
prove extremely formidable. This belief
increases the interest with which Sham
rock w is watched on this side of the
Atlantic and raises the question again
As to whether the cup committee will
permit the challenger TO be towed at
any time during the long ocean voyage
which is to be soon undertaken.
The same question is agitating English
yachting circles and there is much dis
oussion In both clubs and In the public
prints regarding this important angle OF
the cup contest The Impression pre-

hawser then slackens until the vessel
loses her momentum, when Il tRutens
again and another Jerk gives the vessel
plunge forward again. and 90 the tow
ing proceeds. With the slightest swell
on matters are made much worse. and
to attempt to tow vessel against head
sea Is to submit II to a much more serious
buffeting than II would receive in sailing.
Mr. Nicholson. speaking on the sub
ject. said the question OF towing had not
troubled him at all. Any vessel so weakly
constructed as to be unable TO make
the passage under sail would stand a
Omaha daily bee., 1914-06-28

under sail there is a further point in the
conditions Of the race framed by the
New York Yacht club committee which
appears to us most unfair to the chal-
iensing yacht We do not say that the
New York Yacht club has not the legal
right to insist upon It, because as that
club holds the cup and frames the rules.
IL is obvious that It can attach to Il any
conditions Il pleases. II the party con-
templatlng challenging does not Ike the
conditions OF course he need not com
pete. We contend, however that the fol-
lowing condition is unfair, inasmuch as
II gives n better chance to the defender
than II allows the challenger

poor chance OF arriving on the other side
In tow"
It generally Is considered. however
that the New York Yacht club will grant
permission TO tow in calms and light
weather. This permission always has
been granted to sir Thomas
Another feature Of the cup rules which
does not appeal to the average English
man is that which permits the defender
to increase its waterline. but does not
extend the same privilege to the chal-

vessel would desire to tow when there
is anything OF breeze Under certain
conditions, a vessel Of light construction
is submitted to greater strain in towing
than in sailing. and IL ls by no means
a comfortable means OF progressing. ex-
cepting IN fine weather.
The reason for this ;s that in towing
II is not one continuous strain. II n
absolutely necessary TO have a very long
tow-line. otherwise there would be the
probability Of the vessel in tow running
up on the tug. Progress then Is nothing
more than a series OF jerks. When the

misconception exists in many quarters In
regard 10 the efficacy Of towing During
the time that the matter was in doubt
comment clearly showed that there ex-
listed a widespread belief that the handi-
cap which a vessel incurs IN crossing the
Atlantic would be very materially re-
duoed n allowed to tow. This IL alto
gether wrong. The one advantage OF
towing Is that in case OF light winds and
oelms tho time occupied on the passage
is shortened.
1t is quite erroneous to suppose that
the permission TO tow enables vessel
to be more lightly constructed. To begin
with, the permission only applies to calm

permission to tow and while the matter

Before and After is the kind of
 comedy that goes so we'll that those
 who see it once will enjoy seeing it
 a second time. It has never been
 presented in New Britain and the of fering next week at the Lyceum should attract capacity business throughout the week. Dr. George Page and Dr. Phil Latham, Mrs. Page and Odette are the principals around whom the plot is woven. The plot deals in a case of mistaken identity, but is handled sin a novel and interesting manner. The complications, which are many. are worked out on distinc- lively original lines. Col Larivette, an amorous F'renchman, contributes in making the already complex do- mestic relations more strained. Man. ager Birch will assume the character of Col. Larivette, which is assurance of a very clever portrayal of the Character. Mr. Harlan as Dr. Page and MT. Wright as Dr. Latham will develop the story with Miss MacDon- aid as Mrs. Page and Miss Bolton as Octette. Next week will be Miss Mac DonaldS farewell week in New Brit ain.

 Struck with Sylvias fortitude, the inspector offered to employ her upon the force, and, as fate would have it, her first case turned out to be the abduction of little Kittie Gray. Sylvia had met Robert Gray before her mis- fortunes and on discovering that it was in his home that she was to work, she prevailed upon him not to divulge her identity. Clever work enabled Sylvia to locate the abductors through the complicity of Lizzie, the maid. and after a terrific pistol fight ending in the capture of the thugs. little Kitty was restored to her mothers arms. while Robert made known Sylvia's real identity to his mother. Decid- ing to resign from the forc,.

WHAT COULD SHE DO,"

An excellent story of the perils of the store girls of the metropolis is told in What Could She De-" three
 part picture to be featured on the Keeneyscope program tonight. It is one of the best human-interest photo plays released in a long time and it will undoubtedly find favor with the audience tonight.
 It tells of Sylvia Fairfax, who af- ter the death of her father was brought face to face with conditions which she was not equipped to handle, goes to New York. The experiences there in typical boarding house were var jed, but thanks to Hetty Sharp, who took her under her experienced wing, Sylvia escaped the machinatjons of Banners, and finally secured a posi- tion in the same depart store where Hetty worked.
 In an effort to stop systematic thievery, the store owner had em- ployed detective and his suspicious fell on Sylvia. It so happened that just as Hetty had taken handsome collar from the case she was called to the main office. Thrusting the package into Sylvia's hand, telling her to keep it until she returned, she hur- ried away. A few moments after wards Sylvia was confronted by the de- tective. and, despite her declaration of innocence, was taken to the office of the owner and charged with rob- bery. The two girls were examined by the police inspector, and being unable to secure any evidence from Hetty, he proceeded to apply the third degree to Sylvia. In spite of all their efforts. she refused to tell who gave her the package. Hetty listening in the next room, finally could stand it no longer, and burst

Some of them tilt saucily and others are posed demurely straight over the crown of the head in direct line with the nose. To wear successfully the newest of these demure turbans the face should be rather oval of shape and the nose not too long, else both will seem out of proportion to the hat, which is really very small.

HOUL|HAN HOME AFTER
 30 ADVENTUROUS YEARS Found Excitement as Cow Puncher, Cavalryman and
 Police Sergeant.

After an eventful career in the west and southwest, William Houli- han has returned to his former home in this city and expects to settle down to the life of staid eastern CT.
 Houlihan left New Britain thirty years ago and has seen life in all it's phases. He has been soldier fight ing unaer Uncle Sam's flag. He has occupied the less romantic position of sergeant of police And he has had taste of wild life on the Texas cattle ranges. It is said that at one time he was with ex-President Theo- dore Roosevelt when that venture some spirit called the back of his COW pony, Home, Sweet Home."
 At an early age Houlihan showed an inclination to get into the thick of any excitement. While a boy in the Grammar school he ran away and Joined the army but his relatives suc- ceeded in getting his release. As soon as he had grown to strong youth he set out in search of adven- ture in the west. He got it. The rough life of the Texas ranges was his and when that became too pro- saic he enlisted in the United States cavalry and hunted the Filipino in his lair, carrying the flag to the in- nermost points of Uncle Sam's big eastern archipelago After returning from war he became a sergeant or police in Galveston, Texas, and was in that city when 1t was inundated by one of the greatest oceanic floods in history.
 Houlihan's health has not been of the best recently and he came east to His relatives while his strength lasted. He is staying with his sister. Mrs. Joseph F. Sweeney, of 1OS Clark street. .., .,#
