The Coming Yacht Race.


The celebrated America Challenge Cup, which was
taken away IN triumph from the SOlen twenty years
ago, Is to be again contested for BY an English yacht
this autumn, thanks to the spirit and enterprise OF
the owner OF the Ltvonia. Although Mr.. Ashbury'S
schooner can hardly he pronounced the fastest or
most powerful English yacht anOat she deserves, no
doubt the confidence OF the Clubs which have certified
her right to represent them on the other side Of the At
lantic. Between MIR. Ashbury and his yachting
brethren at New York the prellminarles OF the en-
counter appear to have been arranged with perfect
mutual courtesy and cordially. The Americans
have consented to Tx the event for day In October
In order TO meet tue convenience or the Engishman,
and the contest VIII on this occasion be decided be-
tween single American and single English cham
ptOn, instead Of between one English and several
American yachts, as last year. THIS Is evidently
far more reasonable and spOrtsmanlike arrange
ment Mr. Asnbury asks, we believe, for some
alteration OF the sailing conditions to the dlcc
ton and extent OF tile course. AS general prln-
ciple we think II would be simpler that English
yachts should sail according to the American rules
IN American waters, ana that American yachts
should sail according to English rules In English
waters. On the other hand, It Is right and fair that
yacht which has sailed thousand leagues to sail
match should be treated with some degree OF ex-
ceptlonal consideration, provided always that the
conditions OF the race are such as TO secure that,
barring accidents, the best shall win. We must
confess that we should be glad 10 SEQ the "Ame
RIGA" cup brought back TO England, and, among
other reasons, because II would be fresh induce
ment TO our enterprslng kinsmen TO pay visit to
our waters. and q stimulus to the competition Of

MIR. As!lbury's Monopoly.

TO THE EDITOR or LAND AND WATER
SRI have seen letter from Mr.. Ashbury, Of
which an extract appeared In the Daily Ne1cS. set
ting forth his proposed rules for sailing twelve
matches with one American vessel next october.
There is certain vagueness about MIR. Ashbury's
programme and 1t appears that some unnecessary
emphasis Is laid by hln upon the supposed twelve
chances which he expects to have OF securing VIC
tory over the American champion. 1t IS quite clear
that Mr.. Gordon Bennett Jr. has accepted the chal
lenge OF the Harwch representative but 1t does not
clearly appear that this Is but one OF dozen similar
acceptances, although SO much Is assumed Dy Mr..
Ashbury. Can you inform me whether the number
OF these acceptances Is unmieds II that Is so, 1t
Will surely be shame to leave this unfortunate gen.
ueman under SO heavy responsibility, and l have
some thoughts OF entering the lists AS his rival In
this great tournament. Doubtless the amiaLe
Americans Will waive all notice in my case, and
snail have reasonable prospect OF inher,ting one
OF the numerous chances OF distinction so gener-
Ously shOwered, according to his own account, on
Mr.. Ashbury. Your Obedient servant,
UNION JACK.
p. S.-As mine is q square sterned vessel. ,eel
certain that no American yacitsman will he SO un-
spOrtsmanlike as to enter against me with round
or eptCal taffrall.

To Bon. Misunderstanding in
cookery receives so little attention as
potatoes. Aud really the only reason
why Irish potatoes have become so
celebrated is, the Irish are so partic.
ular in cooking them. So if you want
a potato that is as it should be. boil
it as follows: Let your potatoes be
as nearly as possible. equal in size,
wash them well but do not pare them /:
put them in pot, the largest at the
bottom, poar on cold water till they
arc covered about an inch. not more.
however. Throw in spoonful of
salt. boil rapidly about five minutes.
Place the pot now so that it will SIM

pour out the water, and set the pot
where the potatoes will dry. but not
burn, taking care that the lid is so

to transplant, he dug holes twD and
