| The 9 Americas Cup is the British
Royal Yacht Squadron Cup won by
the yacht America August %, 1851,
and held against all competitors ever
since.
This noted vessel Was owned by
Commodore John q. Stevens and o. L.
Schuyler, of the New York Yacht
Club, was designed BY George Steers
and built in the ship wards Of William
H. Brown. She. was of no tons and
modelled after the American pilot
boats, which had obtained IN enyiabie
reputation throughout the world for
their speed and seaworthy qualities.
! The America crossed the ocean under
rig similar to that of the pilot boat
of the day, WITHOUT a foretopmost OF
jibboom, making Havre, France IN
Der first port and fitting out for
racing at that place.
From Hayre she went 70 Cowes, Isle
of Wight, the headquarters then, rs
now, for British yachtsmen. The fast
cutter Laverock stood out to sea. off
the Isle of Wight. in order to escort
the Yankee yacht to an anchorage
and incidently to obtainsa line on her
speed. The Laverock was one Of
the most speedy English cutters, but
il took only single tack for the
America to weather the Lavenrock,
and the cutter was bea,en as she never
was before.
II was at the Needles that the
Royal yacht Victoria and Albert, with
Queen Victoria on Board, asked the
memorable question. (which yacht
is leading?" to whichE the. admiral in
command of the royal yacht replied :
1.-The America, your Majesty.
"And whichsis seeond?" asked the
Queen. The sailor responded, There
is no second, your Majesty.
This statement was literally true,
for the cutter Aurors, AZ tons which
was leading the remainder of the fleet
of competitors, was some miles astern
hidden IN a fog. The America won

offered the cup to the New York
Yacht Club, subject to the conditions:
l. That any organized yacht club
of any foreign country should ever
be entitled to claim the right of
sailing a match for this cup with any
yacht or vessel which is measured
by the custom house rule OF the
country to which it may belong
2. That the cup shoul Id be the
property of the club ard not of the
members. nor of the owners of the
vessel winning it i'll the match. A
deed of gift t made in 1883, by which
the New York Yacht Club holds the
cup, allows any mu5ual agreement be-
tween the challenger and challenged.
Since 1887 the match races have been
restricted to two yachts representing,
respectively. the challenger and the
challenged.
The cup stands 81 inches high and
weighs 1876 ounces. Hundreds of
thousands of dollars have been ex-
pended to win it back and to retain
