A GREAT CHANGE.
ITO realize what immense change there is in
the attitude of our English cousins toward US Of
late" said man. lone has only to read the Brit
ish periodicals OF twenty-five thirty years ago.
In a rather contemptuous reference to "a proposed
challenge by Mr.. Ashbury TO sail for cup held
by the Yankee yacht America a prominent Eng
lish publication adds: 1t will be remembered that
in 1851 a match sailed around the Isle OF Wight
for a Royal Yacht Squadron cup which was open
to all nationalities. and was won by Mr.. Stevenss
yacht America The event caused much the same
sort Of astouishment Gn Engiand) as another event
of the year. namely. the successful picking
of Bramah's challenge lock by the American
Hobbs
when it is remembered how a couple OF months
ago all England waited eagerly for the bulletins OF
the international race for the same cup, which in
all these years despite many endeavors. has never
been carried back home. this contemptuous men
tion of an event which has had such lasting con-
sequences seerns a little odd The hostility that
almost amounted TO personal animus between the
two nations is well remembered by the older M
bers Of the community. England distinctly
sented our growing UP. She considered US fresh
pushing and in bad form. while We although
secretly admiring and copying elder cousin
hated her for the implied infeTiority and resented
the criticisms. AL this, am thankful say.
