cum, probable winner of the King’s cup, s) 
for recently at Jamestown and supposedly 
by Manhasset until it was found that boat 
ceeded her measurement. 
The interesting part of it is, Capsicum s 
ficed nothing to speed, being more substan| 
put together than most of her class rivals} 
in no way attempted to skin so close to the | 
of the rule as to have any doubt of her c'

She made a very creditable showing all

of events in both club races and long dist} 
events. For the Jamestown races a new R 
set of sails were bent adding considerably ta. 
speed. The lines show a compact lodicing! 
of sections with the beam carried well ou 
ward each end. How evenly the bulk is dij 
buted is shown by the clean looking s«n
