The first race for the cup, now
known as the Ameiica cup, was
sailed around the Isle of Wight on
August %, 1851, says the Philadel-
phia Press or the yachts that sailed
the seas in those days the gallant old
America, full of years and honors, is
probably the only one now In COM

tion by yachts Of all nations. The
America was lying at Cowes, and her
owners were anxious to get match
race with a representative British
yacht. Commodore Stevens entered
the America in this open race. There
were six schooners, one three mas.
ter OF 392 tons. and eight cutters in
the race. The America WIS the last
yacht to get of. She ran wing and
wing, her main sail out on one side
and her foresail out on the other, and
very soon had sailed grandly through
the feet, reaching the schooner Be-
atrice and the cutters Aurora, W.
lante, and Arrow, which were lead
ing. Finally the America, by very
sklllful lodging, managed to get into
the lead.
The Yankee boat with the wind
free had shown superiority over the
English vessels And when it came
to windward work she proved that
she was equally superior. She worked
to windward so speedily that by the
time the point was reached there was
not yacht in sight from her decks
The wind now died down and strOue

which the America made little head

not caught the full strength of the
tide, a chance to creep up on her

America, but the rest of the fleet
were miles astern. At st. Catharine's

wind now freshened and again the
America drew away from her plucky
little rival. After getting by st.

given by the little black Yankee is
almost matter of international
history.
Commodore Stevens had tried be-
fore the big race for match very
hard and had posted in the Royal
Squadron's castle challenge to sail
against any yacht for from 200 to
1000 guineas, but the English were
afraid of the Yankee from his first
appearance and. the challenge was
never accepted.

One of the best re-
commentators of Taro is
the longevity of the Ha-

steal specimens cannot be
found anywhere and
when it is convenient that
their chief article of diet
is taro the same beneficent
results should follow its
use by foreigners.

four pounds of fresh Taro
to make one of TARo

assured.

On the oath of last December,

the case be re-opened, and set forth
as a ground that S.C.Allen had filed,
on December 50, material mans
lien on the building, and the gar
nishee feared that he would have
to pay this amount to Allen with
out deduction of the amount paid
to plaintiff, and he prays that the
order on the garnishee may be va
Gated. The case was heard on
January 26. The Court finds that
our statute says that material
mans lien shall not attach unless
filed in the Circuit Court, that it
shall have force only from date of
filing and shall be subject to all
prior recorded liens or judgments.
''Our statute does not x 4 give
priority to the lien when filed over
any other lien accruing after the
materials were begun to be deli

fore, that the lien in the case is
subject to the judgment on the
garnishee, which is prior in time
and in right, and cannot be va

On Monday, January 23d, the
U. S. S. Alliance arrived in harbor
from Page Page, where she had
been at anchor for the past four
weeks. Her stay, however, was
very short, for she left again for
Pago Pago on Wednesday after

days in that harbor, and then go
on to Honolulu, when it is expected
that stay of ten days will be
made before proceeding on to San
Francisco. The three years COM

concluded. Leaving Norfolk, Va,
three years ago, she went to Japan
by way Of Gibraltar, and no less
than two years and eight months
was spent in those waters. From
there the Alliance went to San

few days was made, the vessel
being ordered to Honolulu and
