Meanwhile, yaëhtamen in Engiand are fondly recalling Britannia's illustrious record against other "crack Yankees." The King's good ship heavily defented the Nava- hoe in 1893, and in the following your she also defeated the success- ful Cup yacht Vigilant in a lung series of terrific matches.

The smaller American visitors, of whom there are to be about a score, will make the passage across the Atlantic the occasion of a race Jamung themselves. They will leave Newport, Rhode Island, on July 4, bound for Plymouth. For many of them this race will be the maiden voyage, for they have been newly built for the purpose of participat ing in the various ocean races.
The Ocean Racing Club's pro- the English gramme starts with Chunnel fixture in July. Then, on August 11, comes the sterner test round the G00-odd miles of the Fastnet course. On August 21 the fleet will race to Santander, Spain.
It is already being pointed out that, unless British participation in these events is stronger thun in recent seasons, it may be that the the Americans will outnumber British competitors! But we Jack neither the ships or the men. The trouble, though, is to bring them together.
Many owners of perfectly suit- able craft are too old, or otherwise disinclined, to this most strenuous sort of senfaring. One suggestion is that such owners might lend their vessels to less affluent enthu- siasts, of whom there are plenty.
