The trophy in It's entirety is an histori-

half century OF international yacht races.
The bowl suggests the sea, from which
energies the figure of Triton on one side
and "a mermaid on the other. These fig

serve as handles TO the bowl The Triton
is looking out upon the ocean, and his
hand resting on the tiller. while the beau
tiful mermaid faces him with outstretch-
ed hands. holding a laurel wreath TO
crown the winning yacht.
Between the two figures on the front OF
the bowl there is space for picture OF
the winning yacht, date. etc. On the
back OF the bowl is an etched representa-
ton OF the yacht America, and below
forming n base to the body OF the bowl is
a succession of dolphins. between which,
circling around the bowl are the cups.
