Khama, the British-built cutter owned by Mr. Sey- 
mour J. Hyde, arrived in New York on June 22 from 
Scotland. Khama had a crew of eight men and was com- 
manded by Captain W. Cockburn. She started from 
Port Bannatyne, Scotland, on May 18 and for the first 
two days experienced very nastj^ weather and had to run 
for shelter to Forth Howth, Ireland. She stayed there 
two days, and on May 24 again started out and had calm 
weather until June 5, when she encountered showers 
which were followed by a light southwest gale. On 
June 9 she ran into an easterly gale and had her mainsail 
blown away. Calms and gales were experieced all the 
way over. The 5'^acht will be towed to City Island, where 
she will be overhauled and put in racing shape. Khama 
will be run with an English crew.

Thorella II., the neAV Seawanhaka cup defender, 
Avhich, there is very little doubt, will defend the cup 
this year, has something that no other boat which 
has competed for the big cup ever owned. She has 
two rudders. 
Otherwise the new boat, Thorella II., as Mr. Finley 
has called her, in commemoration of Thorella I., which 
was also built for the defence of the cup, is built much 
upon the general lines of last year's boat. 
The two rudder idea was about the limit of the ideas 
which Messrs. George Herrick Duggan and Fred. 
Shearwood have been able to conjure up in the at- 
tempt to improve upon their former Seawanhaka cre- 
ations without resorting to revolutionary measures. 
Mr. Duggan, now manager of the Dominion Iron 
and Steel Company, has been so busy, the designing and 
all the work in connection with Thorella II. has fallen 
upon the shoulders of Mr. Sheai'wood. The latter 
gentleman's illness prevented more than one boat from 
being built this season. 
Vice-Com. Finley's boat was the first ordered, and, 
therefore, was the only one built. Mr. Finley has al- 
ways shown such an active personal interest in the 
Seawanhaka cup races and has spent so much time 
and money in connection with them, that it is sincerely 
hoped Thorella II. will be found speedy enough to be 
selected as the defender this year. Her past work 
gives every hope that she will. 
The appearance of the two rudders is extremely odd, 
and they are of bright brass. The posts above the 
deck are connected with bars and hinged crossbars, 
and from the center of the latter extends the real tiller. 
The new boat was built for light winds, which is quite 
a departure from the boats of the past, while it is 
understood that Kolutoo and Vampire have been built 
for heavy winds. 
.Strange to say, in the past the LTnited States 
boats have mostly been built for light weather and the 
Canadian boats for heavy weather. 
Thorella II., which is now having preliminary trials 
with Trident and Osma and Blackbird, last year's boats, 
is of about the same dimensions as Trident. 
She has bilge boards, and the principal difference 
between her and last year's boats are: 
She has less freeboard. 
She has less beam. 
She weighs about 400 pounds less. 
As to her sail area, it will be the same as last year, 
and her spars will be but very little different. — Mont-

Ittel— Loder. 
Concerning the match between Mr. Louis P. Tttel, of Alle- 
gheny, and Mr. John S. Loder, of Denver, Col., mention of which 
was made in Forest and Stream of June 6, Mr. Charles G. 
Grubb, who had desposited .$1,000 with Mr. W. S. Brown, of 
Pittsburg, for the match, received a reply from Mr. Loder, of 
which the following is a copy: 
Pittsburg, Pa., June 18. — Mr. Chas. Grubb, Dear Sir: I re- 
gret very much to inform you that opposition on the part of 
my business associates will prevent my rneeting Mr. Ittel at the 
present time, and pulling off the shoot, which had been contem- 
plated. Possibly within the next CO days I can so shape my 
business as to permit of my meeting the gentleman, but at this 
juncture there is too much at stake to permit of the contest 
going on. I regret the situation more than I can say, but you 
can readily appreciate my position when I again assure you 
that my business interests wovild very materially suffer and niy 
position be jeopardized. 
Trusting this explanation may be satisfactory, and that I may 
have the pleasure of meeting the gentleman later on, I remain, 
Yours truly, 
(Signed) John .S. Loder.
