SCHOONERS WILL
RACE TO-DAY
Atlantic II and Katoura to
Compete for Cape May
Challenge Cup.

Wind and weather permitting, two OF
the largest schooner yachts in the
world J. c. Brady's Atlantic II and
Robert f. Tod's Katoura will start at
II O'Clock this morning from Ambrose
LightShip on their ocean race for the
Cape May Challenge Cup, now held by
the KatOura, and for which the owner
Of the Atlantic II challenged some
weeks ago. The distance is PA miles,
and if the yachts are lucky enough to
have a good breeze from almost any
quarter they ought to be able to cover
the distance in less than thirty-siX
hours.
The Atlantic II, which is commanded
by Captain Pagcl, with crew of some
thirty men, won the German Emperor's
Cup in 1905 in the race from Sandy
Hook TO the Lizard against ten other
yachts. She is three-ma3ted steel
auxiliary schooner, designed by Gard
ner & Cox, and built by Townsend
Downey, at Shooter Island, in 1903, for
Wilson Marshall, of Bridgeport. She
is the larger of the two schooners,
being 1855 feet over all, 135 feet water
line, % feet 6 inches beam and rs feet
draft. Cornelius Vanderbilt, William
Butler Duncan, James D. Sparkman and
Commander Sawyer, L. S. ~, will form
the aftcrcuard Of the Atlantic II.
The Katoura is a twomasted steel
auxiliary schooner. Her mainmast is
the one formerly used by the Cup de-
fender Reliance. For the purposes OF
this race, to increase her stability. her
masts were cut down eight feet last
week. her main boom ten feet and the
bow spirit five feet. She measures over
all 1872 feet: waterline, ll5 feet; beam,
80 feet. and draft, Is feet.
Captain Robert f. Tod, the Katoura's
owner, who is well known navigator
and former commodore of the Atlantic
Yacht Club. will sail the yacht in the
race, and he will have as able assist
ants the Corinthian crew of the Res
olute. They are Charles Francis Ad-
ans. I'd, Robert Emmons, I'd, John
Parkinson and George Nichols.
Both yachts went down the bay yes
terday afternoon and anchored in Sandy
Hook Horseshoe, to be ready for trial
spin in the morning. The steam yacht
Viking, owned by Commodore George
F Baker, jr., of the New York Yacht
Club, also went to the Horseshoe last
night. The regatta committee of the
club, H. de 3. Parsons, +. o. Spedden
and J. NJ. MacdonouGh, will start tn.
yachts this morning from the bridge OF
the Viking.
