The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1895-09-15

1895 by the Associated Press. Star
board tack, rules of the road at sea,
the right of a yacht engaged in a
race to claim course free from the
impeachment of pleasure craft and,
principally, the Earl of Dunravens
conduct in refusing to finish the races
for that most famous Of international
sporting trophies, the Americas cup,
have formed the principal topic Of
discussion in London this last few
days.
1t must be admitted, despite the fair
comments of the best among the
London papers, and the polite assur-
ance of such power in the yachting
world as Mr. Ormonde, vice-commo-
dore of the Royal Yachts Squadron,
that American yachts and yachtsmen
will always be welcome here, that this
will not be the case. There has always
been feeling here against Americans,
as has fairly been shown in all the re-
cent international contests. Every
American who has lived for any
length of time in England must have
become familiar with this feeling,
which crops out on all occasions. A
former American ambassador, who
was one of the most popular men who
ever came to England, and who was
received upon terms of greater inti-
macy by the most exclusive circles in
England than any of his successors
have been, once said to a representa-
tive Of the Associated Press, abiding
to an article in the st. James Gazette,
paper which has always been noted
for its hostility to Americans: 'T re-
k1,a4 l.
the true feeling of the British people
us, and there is no use trying to per-
suade ourselves otherwise"
Cry enough"
The newspapers have not ceased to coru-
ment on the iasco of the races for the
cup. The press of London is practically
unanimous in the expression of opinion
that there will be no more challenges to
sail for the famous trophy during the
present generation. The National OBJ
server says that the topic has become a
disgusting, rather than an interesting
one. The Spectators article dWelt at con-
siderable length on the manner in which
America has always led the way in yacht
building and compliments what it charac-
terizeS as the astonishing ability of the
Herreshoffs in the designing and building
of yachts which, it is added, is all the
more noteworthy because one of the bro
| theirs has lost his sight. The Spectator
thinks that the public is firing of the sys-
tenn which requires that expensive boats
shall be built yearly for the special pur-
pose of competing for the Americas cup
and predicts that the small raters will
soon be restored to favor unless there
shall be some radical change in yacht de-
| signing which will insure undoubted su-
| periority.
Criticism Of Vigilants career in British
waters and of the right of her owner,
Mr.. George J. Could to be considered Il
| true sportsman, has been revived here
by the Observation-Disclosures fasco
Didn't Bow to the Prince.
Vanity Fair says that it does not think
that Mr.. Gould at the Cowes regatta
reached the highest standard of sports
manship, and the story is retold of how.
when the Prince of Wales was introduced
to Mrs Gould on the club lawn at
Cowes she did not arise from her seat as
when conversing with a royal parsonage.
The British Hog.
1t is disputed here that the New
York Central and Hudson River rail-
way, in it's run from New York to Buff
falo, has beaten the English railway
record. AS was cabled to the Associat-
ed Press at the time, it is claimed that
the run from London to Aberdeen on
August %, distance of SAB miles, was
made in 512 minutes, including stops,
an average speed of GO miles and 495
yards an hour, while the run from
New York to Buffalo averaged 10
yards less than that made in Great
Britain.
