To Tax Foreign Built Yachts. 
CL.4.USE 47ia of the Tariff Bill now being con¬ 
sidered in the Senate relates to foreign-built 
yachts and reads: 
Upon any foreign-yacht, pleasure boat, or 
vessel not used or intended to be used for trade, 
purchased after the passage of this act by a 
citizen of the United States, there shall be 
levied and collected a duty of 35 per centum ad 
valorem, to be payable at the time of the first 
arrival of said yacht within the jurisdiction of 
the United States after said purchase, if said 
yacht was purchased outside the jurisdiction of 
the United States, or at the time of the pur¬ 
chase, if said yacht was purchased within the 
jurisdiction of the United States, but this duty 
shall not be levied more than once on the same 
yacht. Any yacht upon which the duty has 
been paid as above prescribed shall be entitled 
to all the privileges and shall be subject to all 
the requirements prescribed by Sections 4,214, 
4,215, 4.217 and 4,218 of the Revised Statutes 
and A-cts amendatory thereto in the same man¬ 
ner as if said yacht had been built in the United 
States, and shall be subject to tonnage duty and 
light money only in the same manner as if said 
yacht had been built in the United States. So 
much of Section 5 of Chapter 212 of the law of 
1908, approved May 28, 1908, as relates to 
yachts built outside the United States and 
owned by citizens of the United States shall not 
be applied to yachts on which duty has been 
paid as prescribed in this section. 
President Taft te Watch Races. 
President Taft has signified his intention of 
witnessing the international yacht races be¬ 
tween American and German boats, to be sailed 
off Marblehead the first week in September. 
The President’s newly selected summer home, 
at Beverly, is in sight of Marblehead Harbor, 
and only three miles from the starting point of 
the races. He will go out to the course on 
Mayflower. These races are between boats of 
the Sonder class, a special class built under 
German rating rules, and first introduced here 
in the German-American match of 1906. A 
similar match was sailed in I907_ at Kiel. 
They are under the joint direction of the
