Is it not matter of some surprise that IN the
nultitudinous discussions the superiority oil this
weasel, and American vessels generally, that one
very essential ingredient OF success should have
been wholly omitted-to wit, The superior seaman
ship Of Lae americans. This is no less certain and
decisive than the merit of the craft; and we VEN
ture the prediction that much of the superiority OF
the America will have passed away with her name
and crew.
To exemplify-a purse Of SlO,OOO can be put up
to GO to the winner on the following terms: Take
six American and six British vessels, let them have
three or four sailing matches, Americans in the
American, and British seamen in the British, and
then reverse it, Americans in the British, and Brit
ish in the American, and another three four
sailing matches. Compare the results, and il will
be found that the vessels will do better under
American seamen than under English. and then
let those that do the best take the $4,000. -
