SchOOners Henry
Ford and Columbia
Start Series Today

Gloucester, Mass, Oct. 9.-tP)-
After a lapse of three years this his
toric port tomorrow will witness a
renewal of competition for the
championship of the fishing fleet.
Tonight two swift vessels. the pick
of old Gloucester's famous schooners,
were groomed and ready for the test
which will begin tomorrow morning
Off Eastern Point. Three days of
racing over forty mile course will
decide whether the Henry Ford or
the Columbia deserves the title of
Gloucester's champion.
There was no favorite tonight and
fishermen and race lovers gathered
to discuss the chances of the series.
Each vessel has figured in a contest
for the international fishermen's cup.
Neither was successful, but the
showing in each case was creditable
The two shippers, among the most
experienced of the North Atlantic,
have met in previous tits with hon.
ors even. Captain Clayton Il. Nor
rissey of the Henry Ford was at the
wheel of that schooner when she lost
to the Canadian Champion Bluenose
off Gloucester in 1922. Captain Ben
Pine of the Columbia sailed his vessel
at Halifax, n. B., against the Blue
nose in 1923 in a series which never
was completed.
This will be no yachtsmen's bat
tie but real race of fishing skip
pers. The rugged salt water men
who complained of the complex regu-
lations of the international race SER
les. expressed delight tonight that
the 1926 races will be sailed under
"hshermens rules"
