CUP YACHTS TO GO
OUTSIDE THIS WEEK
ResOlutc and Vanitie Meet in
Three Races Similar to
Real Cup Events.
MONT WEEK HERE

The Resolute and Nanitie Will race
this week of Sandy Hook. They will
start from a line of the Ambrose Chan
mel Lightship or some point where a
course can be laid that will keep them
out In deep water and away from the
land and possible flukes. The courses
are similar to those selected for the
Americas Cup race contests. the first
and third being fifteen miles TO wind
ward and return and the second over a
triangular course. ten miles to each leg.
These races will show just how much
better the Nanitie liz this year because
the yachts win sail where they may
have rough water. Unde any circum-
stances they will have to contend with
the ocean swell. Tuesday, Wednesday
! and Thursday have been selected for
| these events and the yachts will anchor
| each night IN the Horseshoe. Several
steam yachts will also remain there for
the three days sport.
Last year three similar races were
most interesting. One was sailed in a
fresh wind and very fast time was made
over the triangular course. In one OF
, the others the wind was fresh. but not
steady and in the third II was light. The
Resolute won all three races. but Capt.
Dennis was harshly criticised for the

that port and after those will repair
for the annual cruise of the New York
Yacht Club.
