A GREAT YACHTSWOMAN.

The Beautiful American Who Helped to Bntld the Defender. The most enthusiastic yachtswoman in the United States or for that matter in the world is Mrs. C. Oliver Iselin, who lives aboard the Defender, which she helped to design. Without her suggestions the Defender would haye lacked many an important detail. From

the time the first pencil sketch was drawn until Mrs. Iselin cracked the bottle of champagne upon her deck, crying. “I name thee Defender!” she worked as tirelessly as Herreshoff himself, giving her entire attention to every step in the work. Mrs. Iselin will accompany her husband abroad and will do a litle racing with the Britannia, owned by the Prince of Wales. She is a great favorite with the Prince and Princess of Wales and with the Czar of Russia, and is one of the most beautifuftuf American women.
