Mr. George J. Gould has purchased the Vigilant. The gentlemen, who had the yacht built last season to defend the America's Cup against the Valkyrie met yesterday afternoon and decided to accept the terms offered by Mr. Gould. Mr. Gould is to pay $25,000 for the boat. This will be a big surprise to yachtsmen, as Mr. Gould's name was never thought of in connection with the famous cup defender.
