ASHINGTON. March 1.-THE mild

when !, single file of about $40 women
marched round and round the White

They saw no one except u police ser

After the rain had drenchcd the
women and curious inauguration Wis

and a resolution advocating a Federal
suffrage amendment to the Constitu-
ton. Then they marched away.

The present naval budget. as amend

S535.753.447. or s1G7 .oOo.0a9 more than
carried by the bill rs il passed the
House. and S222, 995,7T4 more than was
appropriated for the navy at the last

sions appropriation Of s3i3.3S4.3S9 was
an increase over the session preceding
OF $163.I22,5c5. The naval appropri-
atoms in two years. therefore, have
more than trebled.

First Yachting Event
Was Held Back in 1851

It was the 22nd Of August, 1851,
just IS years ago today, that witness
ed the first race for what has since
come to be called the, Americas Cup,
and treasured for standing for the
blue ribbon of the sea. The first race
between English and American
yachts was the beginning of a long
series of contests in which England
has tried in vain to recover the
trophy. AS the poet says, it. is long
worm that has no turning, and per-
haps Sir Thomas Upton will yet ac-
complish what has always been one
of his greatest ambitions. that is, to
take the cup back to England.
Just at the moment, Of course,
yachtsmen in England as well as in
America have more serious things to
think about than races for cups.
There's a greater race on just now,
but 1t is to be hoped that as soon
as possible after the war the inter-
national races will be resumed.
The America, first winner of the
Cup, was schooner sof ITO tons, and
Commodore Stevens and other
wealthy men furnished the capital to
build her. A great exhibition was
held in London in 1851, and yacht
races were an important part of the
program for the. attraction of visitors.
It was expected that the America
would compete for the Queens Cup,
the famous trophy of the Royal Yacht
Squadron, but, although the club for
that occasion threw the competition
open to the world, Commodore
Stevens declined to concede the.
usual time. allowance for the differ
ence of size.
It was the fair spirit Of the British
sportsmen that was responsible for
the creation of the Americas Cup.
The members of the Royal Yacht
Squadron, fearing the reproach Of
having denied a visitor a fair chance,
decided to offer $50 cup for race
to be sailed around the Isle of Wight,
which should be without any time al
lowance.
English vessels, but the three most
dangerous competitors among the
latter were put otu through acct
dents, and the America passed the
victory post 18 minutes ahead of the
Aurora, a little cutter of At tons. The
result was a great surprise to. British
yachtsmen, who had scarcely consid-
cred the possibility of an American
victory, when the America was
pitted against Is of the fastest boats
in English waters.
The last race for the Americas Cup
was scheduled for 1914, but the out
break of. the war prevented the race
from being sailed. Sir Thomas Lip
ton has been most persistent in his
endeavors to wrest the Cup from
America and he may try again when
the war is over.
