American Yachting.

The capture Of the kaisars cup by an
great sport Of yachting and is the most
important event OF the year in yacht
ing circles. but neither the race nor the
victory WAS needed to revive" yacht
ing in this country. as some writer's
have animated in discussing the con-
test. The general interest i'm this sport
along the shores of the United States IS
we'll indicated by the figures in an
article Dy Arthur F. Aldridge. we'll
known yachting expert. in the June
Pearsons. He estimates that there are
to-day i'm the United States $4,000. 900
invested in yachts. s6,0oO.O in club
houses and club property and $S.OO0.Oo9
is expended every year for the pleas
urc Of yacht sailing. According to this
authority. there are now 800 clubs de-
voted to yachting in the United states
Some of them are small. but the larS-
est organization has over 1000 members
O0O. seven, of them average half 4 mill
lion each. and the total Cor the steam
yachts owned by American yachtsmen
is 81, .,6. 600.
Leaving out Of thu estimate more
than 10000 launches less than p feet
long, there are 512 steam yachts. 1879
auxiliaries. 205 schOon.rs. 1922 sloops
and cutters. 226 yawls. 1i6 cat boats
and 3Os laun hes with gas. electric and
naphtha motors. making a grand total
of BIS yachts. These figures show the
astonishing progress that has been
made in yacht building within short
period. for less than 20 years ago. not
counting the small craft. Great Britain
hadtn round numbers 1000 yachts and
the United States had only about 1900.
and in an countries there were only
about 5000 Yachts in Lloyd's list. The
present Eurorean figures are not at
hand. but the Uuited States with its
Sis yachts must be near the top of the
yacht list Of the worla.
