TIE AMERICAS CUP.

Taking the coming ocean yacht race
5or the German empeTOT's cup as a
basis, Richard Weightman in the Chi
cago Tribune makes some pertinent
comment on yacht racing, with especial
reference TO the conduct of the New
York Yacht club. Speaking of the
contests for the America cup. hc says:
The country has long realizes the
uuWelcome fact thar, although The cup
was originally won ay us under rules
which admitted OF wholesale COMPETE
ton. its present custodiaus have held
il by virtue o. rules which forbid the
possibility Of competition ir any proper
sense of the term
The truth of the foregoing statement
almost justines Mr. WeishJman-s fur
Their statement that no rational and
Tight-minGed American citizen" can
have "the slightest interest. much less
d feeling of pride" in the contests I'm
der the auspices of The New York Yacht
cub. While many rational and right
minded American citizens continue 10
take an interest and have a pride i'm the
races under present conditions. it can
not be denied that the action of the
New York Yacht club has had a bad
effect on the sport and has done much
TO kill interest in the subject
AS MI Weightman points out the
New York Yacht club has surrounded
the cup races with conditions rhat make
it impossible for a British b1a- t., win.
The challenger is compelled TO he of a
construction sufficiently strong 10 en-
able It TO cross the ocean under its own
sails. Here it is confronted with mere
skimminE dishes-lragiIe fabricatious
which couldn't go out upon the ocean
at all and which were at their best in
puffs and catspaws which wouldn't fill
The sails Of the challenger"
II is most unfair and UnspOrtsmauIike
conduct Oh the part of the New York
Yacht club, and a plain violation Of the
original rules of the contest. Another
feature Of the situation that tends to
rob the races Of a national aspect is the
policy of exclusion followed by the club
that holds the cup. The contests are
no longer America against Great Brit
ain, but the New York Yacht club
against Great Britain.
For these reasons Mr.. Weightman
welcomes the race that is to start next
week. It viii be a square and open
ocean yacht race from Sandy Hook on
this side to the Lizard light al the
