From the description OF the two

another in design and details OF con-
structlon. In length, In general ap-
pearance Of hull and in equipment, the
designers, Fife OF the Shamrock and
Nat" Hereshoff OF the Columbia,
ravc had very similar ideas. Columbia,
Defender and Shamrock resemble one
another very closely, and experienced
yachtmen say the battle on Sandy
Hook will be largely a battle between
helmsmen and crews.
Both the Shamrock and Columbia are
built with great regard for economy
OF weight. Fife consulted the Thor
neycrofts, the torpedo boat men, when
constructing the Shamrock. and when
told by them that he could save a ton

OF the ordinary wooden one, he fell in

much as the currents and tides render

However. the American sailors were
game and sailed in the race--a race
destined to go down in yachting his
tory as the most remarkable interna-
tional race ever sailed. A previous
brush with the crack British yacht
Laverack had resulted in a victory for
the America, but the Britishers had
no fear that some one OF their four

schooners, would defeat America. SO
II was decided to enter the squadron

cross the line, but she passed through
the English fest as If they had been
anchored, so swiftly did she go. Bigger
and bigger grew the gap. On board
the royal steam yacht Victoria and
Albert on that famous day, August
p. 1851, was Queen Victoria. Turning
to an attendant she asked:
Which is first?"
America, your majesty"
And which Is second?"
There is no second, your majesty"
It was true. On passing the Needles
the nearest yacht to the America was
the Aurora, and she was eight miles
astern. And America, the visitor, drop
ped anchor off Cowes, winner Of the
cup. Elghten minutes afterward Au-
rora finished. The remainder Of the
fleet finished on the following day.
As Punch put it:
Their whole squadron she outsped
And that on their own waterl
Of all the lot she went ahead
And they came nowhere arter.
Thus 1t was that America won, near
ly half century ago, and so 1t has
been in every succeeding race for the
cup, with slightly varying crcum-
stances.
The Englishmen consider them
selves so thoroughly beaten that for
seventeen years the cup, most beauti-
ful trophy in the eyes Of American
yachtmen, remained in possession Of
the New York Yacht Club. Then in
1868 James Ashbury, representing the
Royal Thames Yacht Club, challenged
tCr his fine keel schooner Cambria. The
race, August S, 1870 over the course Of
the New York Yacht Club was upon
conditions similar to those under which
the cup had been won originally the
Cambria sailing against the whole club
heet twenty-five strong, seven keel
and fifteen centerboard schooners.
Magic, centerboard, was first, Cambria
coming in tenth. This was the only
race in which a challenging yacht was
pltted against more than one yacht.
Not disheartened, Mr.. Ashbury next
year sent over Livonia a keel schoon-
er' and Columbia, a pretty schooner,
was selected to represent the defense.
Columbia won the first two races, lost
the third, and the cup committee SUBJ
stituted saDpoh, which won the next
two.
