Elizabethan Excise Laws.

In striking contrast to the present
laws to prevent habitual drunkenness,
says the London Daily Chronicle,
were those passed in the reign of
Queen Elizabeth. The Lansdowne
manuscripts in the British Museum
record that in 1894 orders were set
down by the lords and others of her
majesty's privy council for the refor-
nation of the great disorders com
mitted by the excessive number of
ale houses. which the justices were
ordered to reduce. The publicans
were compelled to give to the con-
stable of the parish the name and
business of every one who frequented
their houses, and were forbidden to
have any games played therein. On
Sundays no person dwelling within a
mile of the public house were allowed
to enter. except substantial house
holders travelling to church, and then
only for a reasonable times to refresh
themselves. Curiously the chief COM
plant against publicans was the
brewing stronger ale and beer than
is wholesome for mans body"

seems scarcely possible that it is near
ly fifty-two years since it took place.
But time never veers point in its
course and more than half century
has passed since we fought for and
won the Queens cup.
THAT was the name of the trophy
in those days. 1t is only since the
America brought the cup over here
that we call ii the Americas cup,
you know. None of the modern boats,
in my opinion, is the equal of the
old America. They are mere play
things nowadays, cockle-shells. But
the America was as strong and sea
None of the yachts that defend the
cup nowadays is capable of weather
ing a gale. The America could breast
the fiercest hurricane that ever swept
an ocean.
THE crew of the America was made
up of a dozen men, two mates and our
skipper, Capt. Brown. The skipper
was as fine sailor as ever | clapped
my eyes on. The crew was composed
of first-class material, too.
When the crew of the America was
shipped not a mothers son of the lot
had the faintest idea of a trip across
the Atlantic. The skipper one morn
ing. however. summoned us together
and said: Boys, we're going over to
Johnny Bulls isle and we're going
to race there. More than that, we're
going to win the races we enter and
we're going to make John Bull the
sorest man on earth. | take it you're
all with me?' We sang out to a man
that we were more than eager to go
across and anxious to vanquish the
Britons. No one in those days had
ever heard of yacht crossing the
Atlantic, but every man wanted to
go. We were ready for the trip within
two days.
THE America conducted herself
beautifully all the way across. We
had some rough weather during part
of the trip. but the America was too
stanch craft to mind it a bit. She
was built of oak, cedar, chestnut and
locust. She was coppered from her
keel to six inches above her load line.
We went over just as we We're. No
tender accompanied us, and when we

reached the other side we were ready
to race as soon as we'd got things in
racing trim.
The boats that were to race
against us were of all sizes and rigs
As a matter of fact, never saw SO
many different kinds of boats assem-
bled together in one race. They
ranged from fortyseven ton boat
to a two hundred and eighteen.
I'VE were all impatient for the day
of the race to come around. 1t
seemed as if the day we wanted would
never show up. But finally that glori-
ous day dawned, the 22d of August,
1851. The boats all gathered around
