American Boat Took
Cup From EngIand's
Best at Races in 1851

The history Of the Americas cup is
known to all those who are devoted TO
yachting and its records. but for the
benefit Of those who are less wise IN
such matters the following brief &C
count of the origin Of the famous bone
of friendly contention may prove to be
worth while:
When the great industrial exposition
was held in London in 1851. one Of the
attractions planned by its promoters
every part of the world. English mer-
chants and members Of the nobility who
had visited the United States and had
admired the pilot boats of New York
and the skillful manner in which they
were handled, wrote to their friends
here urging them to send over one of
the pilot boats to sail in the great in
ternational race.
There was at the time only one yacht
club, the New York, and when the mat
ter was brought before its members it
was quickly determined that America
tt at, but by yacht built especially for
the purpose. George L. Schuyler and
John c. Stevens, the two foremost
sportsmen of New York. volunteered to
supply the funds and superintend the
boats construction.
The designing Of the yacht was given
into the hands OF George Steers, the
best designer in America, and the boat
was built at the yard OF William IL.

East river, New Yozk The challenger.
which was chriStened the America, was
Of tn eschconer type, ninety five feet
long from stem @ stern. eighty feet keel,
twenty-five feet amidship. drew eleven
feet Of water. measured 10 tons and
cost $4,000.
The America was the first yacht to
cross the Atlantic In either direction.
There were seventeen entries in the
race which was around the Isle of
Wight, fifty-three nautical miles The
American craft won the victory, al
thought 1t was not known in America
for two weeks.
Thus the cup became the property
of the Americas owners. At first they
thought OF melting II and making med
ais for the shareholders. but II was
not carried into effect. Several years
afterward, In 1857. It was declared to
be an international trophy and given
othe New York Yacht Club for safe
keeping.
1t was eighteen years before British
yachtsmen made any effort to recap
ture 1t. The first challenger sent over
was the Cambria. owned bv James Ash
bury. He failed to get IT, and every
subsequent trial has failed to win it.

Necessary for an ocean voyage.
In his previous 1913 challenge Sir
Thomas, through the secretary of the
Royal Ulster Club, had specifically stip-
ulated the length Of his yacht on load
water line as ''seventy-five feet and
hire type as cutter" He had purposed
following UP the lines of Shamrocks by
naming the prospective challenger
Shamrock ".
In forwarding this challenge" Sec
retary Patterson, of the Royal Ulster
Yacht Club, wrote, Il am desired by
the committee to say that Ii is sent
on condition that the cup will be de-
Tended by a yacht with a length on
load water line not exceeding sew
enty-five feet
The challenge stipulated the same
regulations "as governed the last
contests Gin 1909 and which proved
to be so satisfactory. namely-the
best three out of five races over the
same courses with like starts and
other details"
March 20, Sir Thomas asked the
New York Yacht Club to reconsider
it's refusal. but was assured that
such a course was impossible.

river below sweep their homes into a

House after house was torn from its

the swift current.
Little remains OF Shawneetown. From
the hills the brick and stone buildings
alone appeared to be withstanding the
rush Of the torrent. These stood in
from ten to thirty feet of water.
A high wind that sent the water over
against the north levee with such force
that it broke in a wide gap, wrought
the very damage that the city council
sought to prevent by dynamiting the
ievee below the town. Both the north
and east levees are submerged No loss

With respect to other appointments. the

The President promptly blocked the
suggestion that he might go outside

the pressure OF other affairs because
1t was not his habit to permit affairs Of
this character TO hang fire for a long
time.
A flood Of appointments will go to the
Senate beginning with the opening of
the special session of Congress next
Monday. and the time of the Senate Will
be largely taken up with these matters
for weeks, while the House is wrestling
with tariff revision. From the state

Is extremely probable that the names
of the Commissioner will go to the
Senate during the first ten days Of the
new session.

John Purroy Mithceil and Henry Bruere,
of New York, is regarded py the Pres
ident as a very detailed and exhaustive
plan of city government, which might
be applied to aLy city. The President
is interested in the plan, but with

confronting him he does not intend for
the present to take or recommend steps
