NEW YORK June 18. New York yachtsmen are today concluding preparations fur the annual Bluck Island yacht race, one of .the big events of j the season In these waters, which will start day after tomorrow, from Whortleberry island. This is the flfth event of th kind and promises to be even more successful than last year, when lhlry-un- e craft entered. A fleet of about forty boats will make tie run through the Bound on Saturday. An Innovation will be a motor 'boat race over the name course, starting half Rain may be good for the crops, but it certainly doesn't do outdoor sport much good, say the managers of Utah's three saucer tracks, and with July 4th almoat upon ua, they are fairly up In the air with wondering whether or not they'll have snow for breakfast, hall for lunch or rain for dinner. Scarcely an athletic meet so far this season has been set, no matter what the date, but there has been an excessiveness of wetness which necessitated a postponement. Not only in Ogden, but in Balt Lake. This haa applied especially to the bike racing season, but Manager Harry Heagren of the Glenwood track has taken on the smile that won't come off and refuse to believe there will be anything but the best of weather henceforth. Other resort managers, too, have begun smiling cheerfully and optimistically assert that the late summer means only that winter is a long ways off and that outdoor paatlmea will be profitably popular, during the latter months of the present year. Manager Heagren say we'll have three months of genuine summer starting with the first of July and that the presidential race la not going to be the only fall attraction, for there will be events on the Glenwood track .when the leavts begin to fall." It isn't going to rain next Saturday night, at least, and that is the date for the big program which has been arranged for he Glenwood saucer, when SamueMon and Downing will fight out their keen rivalry in a match race, which will be bitterly contested over every Inch of every lap and through three hunts. The special train from Balt Lake will bring at least fire handsome gold watch fobs, valued at hundred enthusiasts who are interested 830 each, are given by Browning Bros, in the n rivalry. of this city to tlie three men from any club winning them four times suc- an hour after the sailboats. The Block Island race, which Is he star yachting feature of the New York Athletic club. Is limited to decked or cabin yachts In cruising trim of less than SI foot water line. The distance la 104 nautical miles, ending In ihe West Ilsrbor of Block Island. Amateur helmsmen are required to steer. Five prises are offered in the open event, and in addition a special prise is offered to the winner in the handicap clasn, and a prise to the boat making the best elapsed time. New Beats Scarce. Few absolutely new boats will lie seen this season, but Commodore B. R. Stoddard's Fearless, built In 1900, but which has not been raced here for the last two years, will be one of the prominent competitors. The Okee, entered and sailed by the Mahlstedt brothers last year, will defend Its title to the cup. The Okee has won the Rlock Island race for the last two seasons, and also captured the special trophy last year for the beat time made by a New York Athletic club boat. W. A. Browns Ylngt-Troand F.

The first of the Olympic teams to head for England is Daniels, the swimmer, who sails today on the Lusitania. It takes longer for an aquatic man to get used to English water than a track or field man to English water than a track or field man to English turf, ao Daniels is going early to have a bit of preparation before his event comes off in the stadium tank. On his arrival in England; it is understood, he will have a splash in some of the big swimming pools, for the purpose of limbering up and will take in a few of the sprinting competitions at the different club games. Fearing that there might be a misunderstanding why Daniels should go on a better ship than the regular team, Manager Halpin said yesterday that the swimmer will foot the extra expense himself. Hugh Baxter, the millionaire athlete and pole vaulter, is going on the Lusitania. He will stay outside London 'during the games and to Shepherd's Bush each day in an automobile. will-driv- June X, The automobile touring race given the ;atmnnsre of Prince Jlenry $ under of Prussia, which was started from Berlin on June 9. enUd here tonight.

London ie today dignified churchmen and sporty society folk, the latter coining to the world metropLONDON, June IS. a curious composite of olis from all over Europe and America to witness the magnificent display of thoroughbred horseflesh offered by the second International Horse Show. At the Olympia today the final arrangements werg completed for tonight's grand premiere, when the society of a score of nations will rub shoulders and admire the equine aristocrats. The Congress, the greatest of in the history of clergy gathering the established church, is for the moment eclipsed by its worldly competitor. There Is little doubt that this show despite the American defection, will be entitled to be called the greatest equine dispay in the world's history. The setting la worthy of the exhibits, the Olympia having been transformed to represent a garden set lu a forest. The royal bax haa been surrounded with a mass of growing flowers, from which British royalty will look down upon the kings of the equine world. It le expected that during the nine days of the show more than 200,000 people may find seating accommodations, and a promenade, designated aa the American Promenade, will allow 70,000 more to witness the show from three sides of the arena. Americas Representation. Compared with the first show, Americans are poorly represented, as nearly all last year's exhibitors declined to make entries thia year. The only exception is Lawrence Jonee of Kentucky, who with Richard P. McGrann constitute America's representation. Although prominent American horse show exhibitors did not send entries this year, many prominent Americans are to be found in the list of Judges. These Include Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt, Richard P. McGrann, Alfred R. Tabor B. Willetts, and Reginald Rivet. Many faces familiar at the ring side at Madison Square Garden, at the National show, and other prominent exhibitions In America will be seen at the show, but the management Is very much put out over the poor representation from the United States. Last year Clarence W. Watson exhibited Lord Baltimore, My Maryland, My Maryland II., Ringing Bell, Kitty Grey, Xorena, Tennessee, and other famous carriage horses, winning many prises. Alfred G. Vanderbilt carried off a number of ribbons with his famous team of grays, which won in the classes. Rustling Silk, Polly Prim, The Youngster, and others equally famous in horse show annals; Fred Pabst won a championship and several blues with hie hackneys; Alfred B.
