NEWPORT, R. l., Sept. 22.-After
day of rest, Rainbow, the Amer
lean defender of the famous old
Americas cup went out to the mark
today for the fourth of her series
against the British challenger, all
dolled up in new sails, and with
new advisers in her afterguard.
Harold Vanderbilts big white
ship. defeated twice and victorious
once, had a new spinnaker to make
her faster on reach or run. The
sail was borrowed from the Yankee,
which failed to win the honor OF
defending the cup by the small mar
gin of one second.
With the sail, the American sloop
also obtained the services of Frank
C. Paine, designer of Yankee and
former member of her afterguard.
1t is expected he will command the
handling of the big kite when the
ship is under weigh. His past ex-
perience aboard Yankee should
prove valuable to Skipper Wander
bilt.
Vanderbilt also put aboard his
ship some 1000 pounds of ballast
why, nobody knows. The ballast,
in pig iron, can be strapped down
below decks. There was some talk
that he expected a blow. But there
was nothing in the official weather
forecast to indicate it. The ex-
pectationS we're that there would be
a duplication of the early weeks
weather conditions.
Endeavour, riding beautifully
through a fourteen knot breeze, was
much more sea-worthy under mod
crate conditions than was Rain
bow during the first two races of
the series. Her performance has
not been all that her skipper de-
sired. In order to improve her light
weather performance Sopwith Dor
rowed from Gerard B. Lambert, the
large Genoa jib used on Vanitie.
This did not proce satisfactory.
An order was placed with Ratsey,
the Sail-maker, for a new one. The
new Genoa arrived yesterday morn
ing, and twice during the day Sop
with had Endeavour out to try it.
If todays going proves to be- light
this new canvas should assist the
British challenger in maintaining
her present lead over the American
boat.
