FORMER CONTESTS $.
How English Pride was HumbIed by
American Vessels.

now English Pride was Aumbled by
American Vessels.
NEW YORK, Sept. S.-The trophy which
declares that the nation holding it has
the best yachts aud the most ekillful
yachtsmen in the world will again be
defended for the fourth time. Thirty
four years ago Englishmen believed that
they were at the head Of the whole race
of aquatic sportsmen, and the Royal
Yacht Squadron offered a silver cup to be
sailed for by the yachts of the world, Sc
renelY confident that the trophy would
not stray far beyond "the dear white
cliffs of Dover" SO one bright August
morning the waters OF the Solent were
white with the sails OF yachts flying the
red cross Of St. George and owned by
many gallant gentleman and noble lord,
striving for the honor OF winning the
Royal SquadrOn's cup. Then like a
whirl wind on the trees, Ikea deluge on
the dikes," swept down a schooner flying
the stars and Stripes, and the swiftest
keel that had ever then been launched
shot ahead of the British feet, winning
the cup which, ever since has stayed on
this side of the ocean
Capt. Roland +. Coffin, in his interest
ing little book on "The Americas Cup"
says that when the yacht fleet was in
sight from Cowes castle on that day the
following dialogue took place between the
Queen and one of her officers;
"Signal Master, are the yachts in
slghtTo
Eyes, may 1t please your Majesty"
''W hich is firstw
"The America"
Which is seconds"
"Ah, your Majesty, there is no second"
The possession OF the trophy thus won
lies between the two great branches of
the Anglo-SaXon race. No other nation
has had the hardihood to compete for 1t.
But between England and America sew
eral hard.fought battles have been waged
for it. The English first tried to get the
cup back in 1870, Commodore Ashbury, of
the Royal Thames Yacht club, challeng-
ing for it and bringing over his schooner
yacht Cambria. She raced against TWEEN
ty-tour yachts of the New York Club
squadron, and was badly defeated. But
Mr.. Ashbury had sporting blood" and
he built him new yacht called the lii
vonia and crossed the sea next year de-
termined, IL possible, to carry back the
cup in triumph to the castle of Cowes.
But 1t was not to be, and the Livonia was
defeated by the schooner yachts Columbia
and SapphO in a series of races,
The cup is deliberately Ornamented. 1t
stands full two feet high, and weighs at
least 100 ounces. Around its broadcast
part are meGalions, yariously inscribed.
The frs inscription is as follows: "One
Hundred Guinea Cup, won Aug. y, 1851,
at Cowes, England, by yacht America, at
the Royal Yacht Squadron regatta, open
to ali nations, betting" and then follow
the names Of all the vessels which started
in the race of 1851. On the next medallion
is engraved Schooner America, 10 tons,
Commodore John G. Stevens; built by
George Steers, New York, 1851" On the
other spaces are Inscriptions recording
the results Of the races with the schOon-
ers Cambria, Liyonia, and Countess OF
Dutferin, and the sloOp Atlanta.

Judge Strong was holding court in 1882
at Macon. There was u very exciting
trial for murder. Henry Byron. a noted
gambler and desperate, had killed Thomas
NJ. Ellis in Macon, a gentleman of high
standing. The accused was supported by
powerful influence. growing ont of the
failure of the Bank Of Macon, of which
Mr.. Ellis had the chief control. The best
Of legal talent was employed by the friends
Of Byron. Ball had been refused
The trial opened. A rumor was afloat
that in the event of conviction a rescue
would be attempted in the court room,
and that the prisoner, the moment the
verdict was delivered, would shoot the
Judge, and then the upTOar would COM
mence.
This reached the ears Of Judge Strong.
He provided himself with brace of pis-
tolls, charged the jury with firmness, and
continued in his seat with pistol in each
hand, concealed under his cloak until the
return Of the jury. While their names
were called he kept his eyes fixed on the
prisoner, and had determined, IL the YER
dict had been guilty" and the prisoner
had made the slightest demonstration. to
have shot him dead In the box. ''Not
guilty" was the verdict. The above facts
were from the lips Of Judge Strong him.

MILLEDGEvILLE, GA, Sept. S.-EdItor
N0rnlHg Ne'os: The above clipping is
from an article headed ''Recalling the
Past" and printed in your paper of sew
eral days since. Henry Byron is repre-
sented as ga noted gambler and despera-
do" and his warm, intimate friend and as
sociate, Thomas NJ. Ellis, as "a gentleman
Of high standing" The article, as many
an old citizen Of Georgia who knew him
will testify, does Byron great injustice.
l will not attempt to palliate in the least
his crime of gambling. He played cards
when the ''stakes were high" as an old
man who knew him we'll said TO me. In
truth, as far as l am informed, I'm that
early day he may have been called ga
noted gambler" He killed Mr.. Ellis,
his former friend, the circumstances OF
the killing ! have neither the time nor
the desire to reproduce here. Suffice il
10 say twelve OF his countrymen said he
was ''not guilty" and bid him go a free
man.
This killing, 80 far as have been able
to ascertain, was the only serious diff
Guilty he was ever party to, except the
encounter in which he lost
his life. This was nothing
more than a "lair fight" between two
brave men. Byrom's friends and init
mates were Of the foremost men in
Georgia, some Of whom vet live in the en-
i0yment Of political distinction. / opine,
dead ByrOm's memory is held in as warm
a regard in Georgia by Georgians AS that
Of any who would seek TO criticise his
career at this late day. N. J.
