PICK ENTERPRISE
TO DEFEND.TROPHY
Smallest of Four SIoops viii
Meet Shamrock V in Amer
ica's Cup Race.
ny the Associated Press.

ny the Associated Press.
NEWPORT, r. l., August 2S.-Enter-
prise, smallest Of four Sloop6 built this
Epring as prospective defenders OF the
Americas Cup, today found herself bear
ing the responsibility OF maintaining
Columbia's rule over Britain's yachts
men, established in 1851.
In that year the yacht America
whipped 10 of England'S fastest racing
yachts in q race around the Isle of
Wight and brought to these shores 100
guinea cup Of doubtful beauty, which
has since been cherished as the greatest
of all yachting trophies-the America
Cup.
Through her selection last night by the
Americas Cup Committee OF the New
York Yacht Club, Enterprise, skippered
by Harold S. Vanderbilt, was delegated
to meet Shamrock V, Sir Thomas Lip
tons fifth challenger, and the four
tenth challenger since the cup was
won by the America in 1851.
Won Two Straight Races.
Enterprises selection came after she
had won two straight races in the only
two days of match sailing Of the official
trial series, which opened August 20.
Lack of air or too much breeze to suit
the committee prevented contests on the
other days In races sailed over va
riouS courses, in various weather con-
di.ions in some of which not all OF the
candidates took part, Enterprise took
most first places.
Announcement of the committee was
accompanied by scant explanation. En-
terprise beat Weetamoe' In their two
match races of the official trials, but
Yankee twice whipped Whirlwind, and
1t had been expected the selection COM
mittee would send Enterprise out against
Yankee before making the decision.
Yankees most recent victory, last
Thursday, was in time which broke pre-
vious yachting races, for the 30-mile
triangular course.
Gambling on Light Air.
Possibly the committee was Influenced
in its choice by the presence of the
Shamrock v in the harbor. Sir Thomas
Lipton's sleek green sloop has been
going around the harbor in Narragan-
gett Bay during the past few days and
making remarkably good time in air so
light that the committee refrained from
starting the defender candidates. I'm
doubtedly the Enterprise could sail cir
cleS around any other candidate in ex-
treme light air and probably would
The committee, therefore, IS thought to
be gambling on the likelihood Of the
international classic being sailed in
light air.
Enterprise was designed by w. Star
ling Burgess for syndicate headed by
Vanderbilt and including Vincent Astor,
George Baker, jr.; r. L. Carlysle, George
Whitney, e. w. Clark, Sherman Hoyt
and w. w. Aldrich. Mrs. Aldrich broke
q bottle of champagne over her bow
and bestowed the name of a little Navy
schooner, which taught the Bey of
TIlnis lesson in international etiquette
many years ago. She carries a greater
SAL area than any of her three unsuc-
cessflIl sisters and her dimensions are
closer to Shamrock v than the others.
Her afterguard, or the amateurs who
viii sail aboard her, are Vanderbilt, AID
Yich, Hoyt, George F. HaverIneyer and
Burgess, her designer.

AWAKE AND REHEARSE"
By Louis Broomfield


 If short stories are fad with you, you will dote on Awake and Re hearse", and in any case you will en- joy some if not all of the stories in Louis Bromfield's latest book
 The first thing that impressed you on reading this collection is that all the stories are of equal value, not as in most cases. some much better and others not as good as one would ex- pect. The fact there is a death in each story with one exception gives . touch Of piquancy to the book; to say the least it is unusual; it may be the opening incident or it may be only casually mentioned at the end but you realize without it there would have been no story; but in spite of the funeral setting there is not morbid page in the book.
 Most of the action takes place in Paris, the Paris of today, that is ire quented by the American tourist. and that Mir. Bromfeld pretends to despise although you feel that in his heart he adorcs it.
 In two of the stories Mr. Rosie and May. and the Urn cremations enter and in both cases the end is greusomely humorous. The cat that lived at the Ritz is a little creepy. and old Miss Wannop is so well drawn that you can visualize her, with her pinched lady-like face, air of refinement. and reiterated state ment. T have lived among you so long;" you understand perfectly why Amelie her maid can live with her no longer There is a tale Of tragedy in the lives of many of the women. Louise Milbrook the self sacrificing daughter, who belonged to generation happily passed away, the intrepid Zenobia White and the faithful Vergie Winters. are all wom- en who suffered in silence and like the Virgin Mary kept all these things in their hearts" The Bavar- ian ldyll and the letter of a Romantic are the most dramatically tragic.
 Nigel the most amusing. although Aunt Mily crosses the bar, brings a laugh as we remember people we have all known. The dear old grandfath- CT and his return to the romance of his youth in Lets Go to Hinky Dinks", is very touching. and the Ap- othecary so graphically done that without realizing the cause of the un- pleasant odor at Fannie's dinner party you are as conscious of it as any of the guests.
 It is to be hoped that Louis Brom- field will soon write more short stories. if he will give us others as unusual as these.
