HOW THE OLD "AMERlCA" WON
THE CtP

The America sailed for Havre and ar
rived there early in August. ISL. She rap
idly fitted up for the race and then pro-
ceeded to Cowes The visitor arrived on
a dark night. and it must have been an
interesting moment when the dawn show
ed her to the great fleet of English boats
full of yaChtsmcn straining their eyes to
size up the stcanger. The Yankee craft
WAS about as different from an English
yacht as could be imagined. with her great
beam and shallow hull while the typical
English cutter of the period WAS OF the
'plabk on-end" variety. She s1Nl showed
her rpette by defeating one Of the fastest
boats Mn brush into Cowes. and this
achievement made 1t more d ficult for her
to arrange her races. At last. however,
she was allowed to sail under the icgula-
tions of the royal yacht squadron in the
race around the Isle Of Wight for "A cup
offered by the Royal Yacht Squadron. In
those days no allowances were made for
tonnage, sail area, oC anything else. All
the boats big or little, started off. and the
one that came in first won. Eighteen
yachts were entered, ranging from the lit
tie cutter Aurora of Il tons, to the three
masted schooner Brilliant, of 500 tons. the
America being A two-masted schooncr of
40 tons. Fifteen of the yachts started.
The America did not get off among the
first, but before third of the distance
was traversed she had assumed the lead
and WheD the breeze freshtned up she
gained so decidedly that it was seen long
before the end that the race was undoubt-
eddy hers, barring an accident. Just as
Tho big storm was settling down the YAM
kce schooner crossed the line, winning
from the whole English fleet of yachts, heI
time being 3 hours and Il minutes, while
the second in the race could do no better
than s hours and IS minutes, and the third
one was over half an hour later in getting
over the line.
The cup won by America on August %
1871, remained the property of the owners
OF the yacht until 1851. when they present
ed il to the New York Yacht Club, plovid-
ing thai it should be offered as trophy

Randolph, Aug. lit is said that for
nifty years there has never been such Il
dry time as the present in this section.
The water commissioners say that the
water in the village reservoir is going
down at the rate of four inches day and
they have forbidden the use of garden
hose or street sprnklng for the present
or until after a copious RAIN at least. The
management are congratulating them
selves upon having the reservoir recently
repaired and several additional springs
added. The village would otherwise have
had cause TO worry over a water famine
before this. Careful management will
avoid such danger.
