'RESOLUTE: LAUNCHED AT BRISTOL, R. L ‘Sloop, Mot Likely, Will Be S¢- | lected to Defsnd American T.tic { ‘Bristol, R. I, April 25.—The launching of the sloop Resolute, the Qrst of the American trio of cup can- aidates to take the water, brought here today the first mobilization of vachtsmen in defense of the America’s cup, A score of members of the New !York Yacht club and as many of their _friends were permitted to look the boat over as she sat on the ways in one of the Herreshoff building sheds. ‘The launching was set for sunset, Plans Are Discussed. Nearly all the six members of the syndicate of present and past flag officers of the club came. / They held @ brief meeting to talk over plans for |the season. The after and forward ‘dEEk crews were on hand, the latter headed by Manager R.oher( W. Em- mons, 2nd, of Boston, and his amateur helmsman, Charles Francis Adams, 2nd of Boston. Captain Christiansen, the professional sailing magter, who 1will have charge of the men, arrived a week ago. | There was little to do today except to clear out the dock into which the Resolute will plunge ‘after slipping down the greased ways. Every pre- cution was taken that only recog- "nized persons should have a view of the yacht and strangers were kept out of the Most Likely Competitor. Those who saw the boat said she re- sembled in a great degree the famous 50-footers which nine members of the {New York Yacht club salled with nich success last season. Her most distinguishing feature is the short, | saucy stern. The form of the for ! body suggests the belly of s shad. 1 he hull forward of the fin is brought down to a sharp “V" some distance I from the water. The yacht resembles 1in some respects one designed several ago for the fast “Q" class of {Foats built before the universal rule went into effect. Yachtsmen agreed that the Resolute looked like a re- markably slippery craft, and expressed confidence that she would be selected to meet Sir Thomas Lipton's fourth American invasion.
