A PACIFIC CUP.

IS aa 4
The Shamrock and her attendant
feet have arrived safely at New York.
with everything in the best condition
for the new yacht TO show at her best
in the coming races, which promise to
be the most interesting of all the long
series prompted by the hope OF taking
the Americas cup back to Great Brit
ain. The Reliance in her trials has
performed with consistency that
stamps her as the best defender that
has ever been built, and since Sham
rock III is undoubtedly the best chal-
lenger there will be battle royal for
the primacy of the yachting world.
With the Americas cup races before
rs, Is there any reason why there
should be no blue ribbon contest on
the Pacific coast? There are no adj
vantages on the Atlantic side that we
have not here, but the interest taken in
yachting has hitherto been small as a
matter OF course. for men have been
too busy developing the new industries
Of the West and exploiting its re-
sources TO spend much time in recrea-
ton All that is now changing rapidly,
and as an instance of the fact may be
cited the regatta which is to be held
here Thousands of people will be
deeply interested in that event, and
there win be. many entries and keen
comptition.
In view OF this IT is not extrayagant
TO predict that the time is fast coming
when We shall build our own Reliance
to beat. say. an Australian Shamrock.
