BARGES TN THAMES R0UT
FITzWILLIAM'S YACHT
Polo Stars Boat Bumped by Rough
Work Craft-SociaI River
Colony Plan Abandoned.
By the Associated Press

6y bno A1tocdAtCo = IL
LONDON, July 1.-Lord Fitz-
william, known to polo enthusiasts on
both sides Of the Atlantic, has been
having his bumps. Having brought
his steam launch Zetto into the
Thames OF London to start Summer
yachting colony, he has been forced to
retreat because night after night his
graceful boat was bumped by prosaic
old barges and damaged severely.
He anchored In the Thames because
he has q dread Of sleeping In stuffy
city houses. He planned to sleep on
deck on q. cot. The Zetto was anchored
near the House Of Commons and
numerous parties were held on board.
Members Of the Royal Yacht Club
thought that Lord Fitzwilliam had
discovered q way to q glorious rent
free existence. There was even talk
among the yachtsmen of moving the
feet from Cowes to London for a part
of the social season.
All these plans for q yachting
colony, however, were blasted, because
there was no inclination on the part
OF the husky Thames rivermen TO
permit q. strictly social craft to In
terfere with business. The Zetto was
damaged so severely by continual
humping that she was taken back to
Cowes to float with the atistocratic
boats OF her own class.
