The local interest in yacht racing is not at a boiling point right now, but all the civilized world is interested in tho semi- occasional races for the America’s Cup. An effort.is being mado in England to put these races on • more sane basis by'having the conditions changed ao that the competing yachts will be more seaworthy and more practical affairs and not strictly rac ing machines which go on the junk pile as soon as the races are over. This scorns a reasonable request on the part of our English cousins and ought to be granted. The public would like more races for the America’■ cup, but now that the Americans have proved ao concluaively that they can build racing machinea which will beat anything that Great Britain can evolve there is little chance. Just for the fun of the thing, why not change tho condi tions and aee what the Eugliahmrn can do toward building boats which are capable of other stunta betides racing.
