Yachtsman Lawson bids for New York Yacht Club race
A Chicago yachtsman alleges Mibeeme W Lawson builder of the Independence will win any race for the New York Yacht Club, claiming Lawson spent 256 dollars knowing he could not race the Constitution. He suggests the club risks broad public scorn if it accepts the challenge, with possible race against Shamrock I or F H in Boston after August trials. The piece notes Lawson’s past feats and hints at a dramatic wager on the outcome.
