auivalof the Hoston Hoiald of Decembci 0
containing the "working drawings" of the

views bised on the nlleged jilaus. 'I ho ques
tion mooted here is who hoixed that en-
teipiising newspinei ? It is well known on
the Clyde that Mr. .lamps Hell , in whoso

himself stiongly that he has bound the do-
slgnei , All. Wat ou , not to divulge any ot thu

see hei and give the custom house a certili-
cate ot her tonnage. Then only will the

be sent t6 New Yoik. Probiblj these will bo
sent in Match , so that , allow ing foi thy net PS
s.ny six mouths'notice , the race can take

It Is not generally known , however , even

James Hell , as.i yachtsman , was almost tin-
lieaid of even here until the challenge for the
cup wns made , hut Mi. Coates , liudliig the
money and being at the back of the chal
lenge , Is a guarantee to American ) aclit3-
