 King George intends to race his cutter Britannia during the coming season and the famous boat may be expected to figure prominently in the Cowes Regatta, which was necessarily suspended during the war;" was the authorized statement made at meet ing of the Yacht Racing association by Major Philip Hunloke, one of the kings grooms-in-waiting and his ad- wiser in yachting matters.
 Word comes from Scotland that the yacht Meteor the last of the three boats of that name owned by the ex-kaiser, which was purchased by V. Behar, British carpet mer- chant, may compete with King Ge- orge's yacht Britannia in the Clyde regatta this summer.
 Ambitious plans for the practical | encouragement of sports among the people of England are projected by the British Olympic association, which has announced it's program in connection with an appeal to the public for funds required to send team to the international meet at Antwerp.
 "There are too many spectators of sport in England and too few play erss" asserts the association in its statement. "The reason is obvious. The country is pitifully lacking in fields. In providing and inn proving grounds, club houses, etc., very large sum might fruitfully be | spent. During the year, 1920, it will at least be possible to lay the foun- dation of reorganization for this purpose. This the British Olympic t council proposes to do, and to de- velop the work itself in the intervals | between the Olympic games"
