Still, tbe Ingomar is a Hrrreaboff production pure and .Imple. and from her performance* iaat summer bar Drat season, it U not difficult to *ur mine that abe will derelop wiauing tendencies wbererer there la a gbosl of a chance for reaaela of her type. Commodore Plant and hla family sailed on tiae American liner St. Louis last Satur day, and on the same ship were tbe yacbt'a maiuboom. tbe bowsprit, two topmasts, two rXtbtopsaii span, tbe saila and tbe boats that will be used abroad. Two races of importance, bowi noted in tbe programme roughly outlined by tbe Ingomar’a owner. The Brat is th» ocean contest from Defer to Heligoland, a matter of S30 mllia. for tbe German Em peror'a cnp. and tbe second the Cape Mar Challenge Cup, that him not barn in the possession of tbe New York Yacbt Club ainoa the year 1W6, when It was won by Sir Richard Sutton's cutter Genets by defeating tbe schooner yacbt Dauntless, then owned by Caldwell H. Colt. Tbe TMt abroad of tbe Ingomar is made particularly attractirr t» Americana because of Commodore Plant's decision that he shall try to bring*back tbe Cape May Cup to tbe yacbt'a locker*. Tbe Naeabor. then owned by Mr. Royal Phelps Carroll, endeavored to do so In tbe fall of IMS, bnt failed, her opponent being tbe Britannia, owned by the Prince of Wales, now King Edward. Since then tbe Britannia ba» bad other owners, hut abe is again tbe property

The yachtsmen of America generally, and tbe New York Yacht Clab particularly, will, la addition, heartily congratulate him.
