THE AMERICA’S CUP. The International Yacht Races and Their Results. SOME FAMOUS VESSELS 4¥D THEIR VICTORIES— BoW THE AME Ica WON THE FIRST RACE IN 1851--oTHER SPEEDT YACHTS WHICH HAVE REPRESENTED AMERICA AND THE CONTESTS. From Harper's Weekly. It was in 1861 that the sechooner-yacht America, designed and built by the celebrated George Steers, sailed for Havre and thence for Cowes. The “World's Fair” was open in Lon- dou, and the idea had occurred to some Ameri- cans that it would be well to exhibit one of our fore-and-eft-rigged vessels, Nothing was known here at the time about the cup offered by the Boyal yacht squadron for yachts of all nations, When the America arrived at Cowes her owners posted in the club house a challenge to sail the schooner against any British yacht for from oue to ten thousand guineas. No attention was paid to this challenge, though one match of 20 tiles to windward and return, with the schooner ‘Titania. for £100 was made. The Americans declined to regard her as a repre- seniative vessel, and still asked for a national match. They were simply referred to the regatta of August 22.in which the Americ could be entered. ‘The owners of the yacht de- cided to bring her home, but through the earnest advice of English and American friends they were induced to enter her. These facts are taken from the written statement of the schooner’s only surviving owner, George L. Schuyler, published in the late Capt. R. F. Cottin’s history of the America’s cup. Mr. Schuyler’s brief and graphic story of the famous race is as follows: STORY OF THE FAMOUS RACE. “Here are the entries for this regatta. No allowance of time for tonnage; yachts to start at 10 a.m. from Coves and sail around the Isle of Wight. No time prescribed for uccomplish- ing the distance, so that the cup might be won ima tempest or a drift—with entries ranging from 3¥2 to 47 tons: T. Chamberlayne. Dike of Maribo: “A.

Ido not propose unnecessarily to add to the length of this communication by giving any account of the race further than to call Sttention to three points: _ “First. That, starting at 10 o'clock with a light westerl; wind. a: about 11:30, after the yachts had turned No Man’s Land buoy and Were beating to the westward, the wind fresh- ened to a good six-kuot breeze for a short time, at the end of which the America’s position was two miles to windward of the nearest yacht. ‘The wind then died away, and the yachts beat slowly up under Shanklin Chine with a strong bead-tide, the America still widening the dis- tance. At ¥ o'clock the wiad freshened again, sud when, at 540 p.m., the America. having curried away ber jib-boom, rounded the Needles, the Aurora (47 tons, the smallest en- try) was, by tue best English report of the Face, about eight miles astern, and the rest of the squadron were not to ve seen. Second. That the wind agzin becoming light aud the tide auead, the America anchored, winner of the cup, at 8:35 p.m.; the Aurora at 8:55 p.m.” The remainder of Mr. Schuyler’s story it is not necessary to quote. I desire to call atten- tion to one thing: Ihis trophy is not, as it has been frequently called, the “Queen's Cup.” Its correct name is the America’s cup, and it was notuing more nor less than a regatte prize, wou by the old schooner, until July 8, 1357, When J. C. Stevens, E. A. Stevens, Hamilton Wilkes, J. Beekman Finley and Geo. L. Schuy- ler, owners of the America, presenied it to the New York ya basa perpetual interna- tional chalieng: . THE CAMERIA-DAUNTLESS RACE. The uew holders of the prize remained in quiet, undisputed possession of it until 1863, when, in October, a letter was received from James Ashbury, a member of the Royal Thames Yacht club. announcing his desire to sail his ew schooner Cambria for the wophy. Owing to Mr. AsLbury’s misunderstanding of the terms on which the cup was offered, he was unable to vompiete his arrangements with the New Yor’ yacht club for the season of 1869. In the mean time he had made a match with James Gordou Bennett to sail the Cambria agaiust the Dauntless across the ocean. The course was from Daunt Head buoy, near the Old Head of Ki » to the Sandy Hook lig! ship, and the r started at 2:20 p.m., on Suiy 4, 1370. T wuntless was commanded by the noted Caghsamuel Samuels, who bad been skipper of ¢ ctorions Heurictta in her Face across the oceau with the Flectwing and Vesta in iste. The race was a slow gne. but very close. ‘ine Cambria passed the lightship at 8:04 p.m., ow July 27, after suiling 2,917 miles in rm boursand 17 minutes. One hour end tes later tae Duuutiess arrived, passing the light ship at 447 p.m. she Dauntiess crossed in 23 da: hours, sailing 2,963 miles, Bbe was therefore beaten by good navigation rather than speed. THE CAMBRIA COMES IN TENTH. Mr. Ashbury und the New York yacht club failed to come to terms, so the challenger ac- cepted the privilege, then included in the deed of gift, of sailimz one race under the regular Tegutta rules of we holders of the cup. Capt. Colin, who saw this race, gives a full account of it, and culis attention to its mmportance as tue ouly one in Which the challenger sailed against a fleet. ‘Lhe race teok place on August8, 1870.

Mr. Ashbury was beaten, but not disheart- ened. He went buck to England and ordered @ new yacht, the Livonia, In arranging for ber competition for the cup a great quantity of ink and paper was consumed. Lhe New York Facht clav held that tue Livonia must suil Qgaiust a tect, as ber predecessors bad done: but to this Mr. Ashbury steutiy objected. ‘Lhe # Was reierred o George L. Scuuyler, and decided iu favor of Mr. Ashbury, thus estab- lishing the exccileut custom of suiling matches instead of reyactas for the cup. Mr. Ashbury's Bext cou ou was that, as the Livonia wus suchorized to represent eight yacht clubs, sue shout! te accorded the privilege of & series of eixut separate cousecutive contests for the cup, #0 that. Having lost the cup as the representa- tive of the Koval Albert yacut club ou Monday, she could sai tor it aguiu om Tuesday ux the champion of the Royal Yorkshire. It would bave vecn genuimely bard luck if Mr. Asuvury could uot bave curried the cup home under such au arrangement. However, even Eugiish Papers ridicwed this demand, aud it was uot grauied. Pour vessels were selected to meet the Livo- pia—the Co.umbia, mer, Swppho, and Dauutiess—ana the commute had the right to ame any one of them on the moruing of a race. Thos was mauifestly untur. Ou a ugut-weather day the committee could put im the skimming- @ish Columvia; im fresh sailing weather, the Palmer; «1 « stiff wind and sea they could start the sappho or Dauntiess.

The first of the Livonia’s races was against the Columbia on August 16, 1871, over the New York yacht elub course. The corrected time was, for the Columbia, 6 hours, 19 minutes, 41 seconds, and for the Livouia, 6 bours, 46 min- utes, 55 seconds, the former winning by 27 minutes, i¢seconds, The race was sailed in light weather, und Mr. Asubury said afterward that it was # foregoue conclusion, The second | and sea off Newport race. on Ai 18, was 20 miles to windward from Sandy Hook light ship and return.

The captain of the Livonia had not been so instructed, and he fol- lowed the English racing custom of — | the mark on the star’ hand. Mr. ary | did not claim the contest, but wanted it de- clared no race, His request was a fair one 2nd ought to have been granted, but the committee refused it, THE ONLY VICTORIOUS CHALLENGER. The thied race was again with the Columbia, and over theclub course. The Columbia parted her flying-jib stay and broke her steering gear, losing the race by 15 minutes 10 seconds, so that the Livonia achieved the distinction of be- ing the only challenger that has ever won a single race in the contests for the America’ cup. The Livonia’s fourth race was against t! Sappho, October 21, 20 miles to windward and | return. The Sappho won by 30 minutes 21 seconds, The fiual race was sailed on October 23, over the club course, and the Sappho, after running through the Livonia'’s lee almost at the stars, again won by 25 minutes 27 seconds. Mr. Ashbury had a long war of words with the New York yacht club, and accused the organi- zation of unfair and unsportsmanlike conduct. The club responded by deciding to have noth- ing further to do with him, and be disappeared from international yachting contests, THE COUNTESS OF DUFFERIN. Several years elapsed before another chal- lenger appeared. In 1876 Vice Commodore Charles Gifford of the Royal Canadian yacht club sent to Secretary Minton of the New York yacht club a challenge, naming the schooner Countess of Dufferm and requestin: the holders of the cup to waive the require: six mouths’ uotice. At a special meeting of e New York yacht club on April 20 the chal- lenge was accepted. Of all the confident per- sons who have come to New York to get the cup undoubtedly the yachtmen aboard that Canadian schooner were the most disap- pointed. The schooner made her first public appearance here in the Brenton’s Reef cup race, which began July 27, 1876. This is a race for acup given by James Gordon Bennett,from the Brenton’s Reef light ship, off Newport, to and around the Sandy Hook light ship and re- turn. It is usually sailed, however, with the start and finish atthe New York end of the course. Cupt. Coffin records that the Countess of Duiferiu's people were so confident that they started to accompany the racers over the course without setting top-sails. They soon discovered their mistake and by adding their upper canvas mauaged to keep up with the rear of the procession in the run to the east- ward, As soon asthe fleet rounded the Bren- ton’s Reef light ship and turned to windward the Countess fell astern and was left out of sight. Her owners, on reaching New York, promptly ordered a full set of new balloon can- as, vas. The schooner Madeleine was selected by the New York yacht club as the cup defender, Her record was a fine one, and she was well manned. The first race was sailed on August 11, over the club course, with a southerly wind. The Madeleine gained adily from start to fiuish. The official record fol Start. Pauish. lapsed. Cor. B. M.S, UMS.

The Countess was sailed by the crack skipper Capt. Joe Elsworth, but he could not force her to do more than there was in ber. The race was uninteresting, the Mad- eleine gaming from start tofinish, The Amer- iea went over the course and was timed by courtesy of che regatta committee. She also beat the Countess.

Cuthbert, the designer of the Countess of Dufferin, came forward once more in 1881, when he designed and built the center-board sloop Atalanta, at Bellevil'c, Ontario. After three trialraces the iron sloop Mischief was se- lected to meet this new chailenger, which ar- rived here by way of the Erie canal and the Hudson river on October 30. This voyage of the Atalanta led to the insertion of this clause in the deed of gift of the cup: ‘Vessels selected to compete for thiscup must proceed under sail on their own bottoms to the port where the con- test is to take piace.” The Atulanta’s first race was sailed in a fine breeze over the club course on November 9, 1881, the Gracie going over the course and beating both contestants. In fact, the whole interest of the day, after the start, centered in the contest between the two York yachts. The record is as follows: Start. Finish. Elapsed. Cor. H.M.S. HM 8.

The second race, which was the final one as usual, was sailed on November 10. The wind was west by north, a fresh breeze, and the course was 16 miles to leeward from buoy 5 and return. This time the Mischief beat both Atalanta and Gracie. The Canadian did wellin the leeward work, but she had not a ghost of a chance after the outer mark was rounded. The beat home was made by the New York boats under single-reefed mainsails; the Atalanta put in two reefs. The record of the race follows: The Misch: the Atalanta 34 minutes 54 seconds, and the Gracie beat her 31 minutes 16 seconds. The New York yacht club now decided that the old deed of gift was inadequate, and re- turned the cup to Geo. L. Schuyler, the only surviving donor, who once more made it over tothe clab with anew deed. Copies of this document were sent to all foreign yacht clubs, and the Canadians, who had talked of chal- lenging again, declined todo so. The only change, however, was the insertion of the clause designed to prevent competing yachts from Seine brought here on the decks of steamers or by way of canals, THE GENESTA. On February 26, 1885, the Royal yacht squad- ron and the Royal Northern yacht club, through J. Beavor Webb, challenged the New York yacht club to defend the cup against the cutters Genesta and Galatea, The proposition was to have the Genesta sail first, and. if the New York defender won, then to bring for- ward the Galatea immediately. The New York yacht club accepted the challenge, I do not propose to weary the reader with an account of the arrangement of the detailsof the race. Suffice it to say that the final program pro- vided for the contest between the Genesta and the American yacht, the Galatea's races being deferred till ‘the following year. There was the usual discussion between Mr. Webb and the cup committee about the courses and the allowances, the former asking, as his successor did, to bave all the races sailed outside the bay. It took the New York yacht club along time to discover that the bay was not a suitable place for yacht racing, but the way in which the racers were crowded by a lot of lubberly steamboat captains finally carried the point, and this year’s cup contest will be settled in open water, as it ought to be. A letter was sent out by the w York yacht club to all yachting organizations in this country, in- Viting them to enter competitors in the trial ra One clause in this letter stipulated that the committee reserved the right of forming its own judgment as to the fitness of any eutry for the purpose in view, irrespective of the actual result of the races. This point is worth bear- ing in mind: The best boat does not always win, and the club still has the right to select a beaten boat, if it is deemed desirable, THE PURITAN. James Gordon Beunett. commodore, and W. P. Douglass, vice commodore, of the New York yacht club, resolved tw build a yacht about the size of the Genesta, for at the time there was country. For these two gentlemed A. Cary Smith designed and the Harlan and Hollings- | J.

The Puritan had gained $ ee 3 seconds on the Genesta in the beat own. As soon as the yachts passed outside the Hook they got a good bréeze. It was the old story— plenty of racing weather outside, but only calms on the New York yacht club's favorite drifting ground inside. The Puritan rounded the Sandy Hook light ship at 2:14:54; the Ge- nesta at 2:19:16. The Puritan had made the run out in 358 minutes 32 seconds, and the Genesta in 59 minutes 61 seconds the Boston sloop gaining 1 minute 19 seconds, The dis- tance is about 8% nautical miles. Going back, the yachts had their sheets lifted a little, but the tide wasagainstthem, The Puritanrounded buoy 10 at 3:38:05 and the Genesta at 3:46:05, the former having gained 3 minutes 38 seconds on the reach in. ‘the finish up the bay was made with a very light wind on the quarter and a strong opposing tide. The Puri- tan gained 8 minutes 47 seconds on her oppo- nent in the ranup. The following is the offi- cial record of the race: Start. Finish. Elapsed. Cor. iH. M. 8. H.M.s. H. M.S. H. M. 8.

The second race w sailed 20 miles to leeward and return on Wed- nesday, September 16, in a fresh wind from west-northwest, which at one time blew 37 miles an hour. Beaufort’s scale rates a wind of from 28 to 40 miles an hour as a fresh gale, and calls for three reefed topsails on a ship. The Puritan's people made that day the only mis- take I have ever seen made on any yacht that had Gen. Paine aboard. They set their spin- naker on the wrong side. Being anxious to avoid jibing at the outer mark, they boomed their mainsail out to port and set their spin- nuker to starboard. ‘The Genesta followed suit; but before she had gone far she took in her spiunaker, jibed ber mainsail to starboard, and set her spinnaker to port. The mainsail did far better work on this side, and the Genesta walked past the Puritan, boating her to the outer mark 2 minutes 6 seconds, The Genesta rounded at 1:05:30 and the Puritan at 1:07:36. On the beat in, with a freshening wind, the Genesta made a mistake. She car- ried a working topsail, which did her no good, but, on the coutrary, caused her to bury her- self toomuch. The Puritan housed her top- mast and went to windward beautifully. When both yachts were about 3 miles from the outer mark, bouud in, both being on the port tack, the Puritan a mile nearer the Loug Island shore than her opponent, the wind shifted a little farther northward, Both yachts at once tacked and laid their courses for the finish, My brother yachting writers held that this was an advantage to the Genesta, because it put the Puri- tana mile farther to windward than she needed to be, and gave her u longer distance to sail, while the Genesta was on the shortest possible course to the light ship. I bave never been able to agree with this view. The Genesta cer- tainly did lay her course, but she was as close to the wind as she could go. Allowing the Geuesta to have been from 15 to 17 miles from the finish, and the Puritan 1 mile to windward of her, the latter must have sailed not more than three-vights of a mile farther, but she laid a course which gave her the wind half int freer. Any sailor will admit that this is a very Great advantage. It certainly proved to be so with the Puritan, for, after getting on even terms with her opponent, she lifted sheets, kept away, and ran down in frout of the Genesta, holding that position till the line was crossed, and winning the race and cup by 1 minute 38 seconds: The following are the otticial figures: tart.

The following season preparations were made to meet Lieut. Henn’s steel cutter Galatea, also designed by J. Beaver Webb. The wooden center-board sloops Atlantic and Mayflower were built. The former was designed by Philip Elsworth fora syndicate of members of the Auantic yacht club. The latter was designed by Edward Burgess for Gen. C. J. Paine of Boston, The Mayflower did not make a good showing in the garly regattas. Her mast and boom were taken out and reduced in diameter; some of her inside ballast was removed. aud more lead put ou keel. After thatshe showed ber irue pace. The Atlantic was a failure from start to finish us compared with the Burgess yachts; but she couid have beaten the Galatea, and, in fact, always did when they subsequently met in the regattas of 1837. ‘Iwo trial races were sailed to sclect the cup defender of 1886, starters being the Maydlower, Puritan, Priscilla and Atlautic. The Puritan had been purchased by J. Maicolm Forbes of Boston, aud the Pris- cilla by A. Cass Canfield, commodore of the Seawanbaka-Corinthian yacht club of this city. | The first trial race took “place on “August 2l, over the New York yacht clab course, witha moderate southeasterly wind. The Mayflower defeated the Atlantic by 10 minutes 51 seconds. The second trial race was sailed 15 miles tu leeward, south-southwest, and return from the Scotland lightship. The breeze was moderate and the sea comparatively smooth, ‘The starting signal was given at 12:04, an. two of the yachte were hand.eapped, the Priscilla by 20 seconds und the Mayflower by 2 minutes 26 secouds. The yachts started before the wind under spinnakers. At 1:03 the Puri- tan rolled her spinnaker-boom under water and carried it away. A few minutes later, how- ever, the mark-boat was found to be a little to judward of the course, and the Puritan, haul- ing up, was uble to do well without her spinua- ker. Going back trom the out mark the yachts did not have their work dead to windward, but | Were nevertheless well tested in sailing close- | hauled. The Mayflower fully proved her s periority. In the windward work sho beat the Puritan 4 minutes 41 seconds; Atlantic, 9 minutes 2 seconds; Priscilla, 7 minutes 10 sec- onds, The cup committee announced immedi- ately after the race that the Mayflower had been selected to meet the Galatea. ‘THE MAYFLOWER-GALATEA RACES, The first race between the Mayflower and the | Galatea took place on September 7, 1836, over the New York yacht club course. The wind was frum south to southeast, light inside the Hook aud fair outside. The yachts got away on the uo single-sticker larger than the Gracie in this | starboard tuck, the Galatea blanketing au: | ing the Mayflower right on the line. ‘The May- ; flower kept away and outfooted the cutter, so | that when they tacked under the Long Island | shore she had the weatherly position, She cou- | tinned to walk out to windward of her antago- nist from that time, and d Hoffinan Island | half a mile abead.

L. Wat- son, Again the indomitable General Paine came forward and built the steel sloop Volun- ter, by Edward Burgess. She sailed two trial races with the Mayflower. The first one, over the inside course, was abandoned in- side of the Hook for want of wind, with the Volunteer about 100 yards ahead. The second was sailed on September 16, 1887, over an out- side course of 33 miles, in a stiff breeze. It re- sulted in @ decisive victory for the Volunteer, id also proved that the Mayflower could beat e Thistle, which went over the course, The course suiled over was 10 mites to leeward, southeast by south, 9 miles west-southwest, 9 ‘miles east-northeast, and 10 miles dead to wind- ward to the finish at the Scotiand light ship. The Maytiower, after rounding the outermost mark, was forced to house her top-mast, but the Volunteer carried a working top-sail to windward, The Volunteer beat the Mayflower 16 minutes 28-5 seconds. The Thistle was accurately timed on the windward leg of the course. The Mayflower beat ber 1 minute 68 seconds, and the Volunteer defeated her by 14 minutes 403-5 seconds, This little bruxh of the Thistle’s set- tled in the minds of experts all doubts as to her failing to win thecup. The first race of the Thistie and Volunteer was sailed on Tues- day, September 27, 1887, over the New York racht club course, and the cutter was outsailed rom start to finish. ‘The wind was light from south-southeast, shifting to southwest, There was but one period of uncertainty in the race. The Thistle crossed the line 1 minute 524 sec- onds ahead of the Volunteer. At 12:39—six minutes after crossing—the Thistle tacked and headed for the Long island shore, Capt. Haff held his port tack. The Thistle seeing this went about again. At 12:45 the Volunteer went on the starboard tack and was crossing the ‘Thistle’s: bows when the latter tacked at 12; ‘The race was decided then and there. After that the Volunteer, first catching the breeze through the narrows, simply walked away from the cutter. The sloop passed buoy 10 at 2:21:08, and the cutter at 2:36:45. The former had gained 17 minute a to this point, ‘The racers had breeze going out to the lightship, Volunteer turned at 3:42:12. followed by the Thistle at 4:01:15. The Volunteer gained 3 minutes 26 seconds on the reach out, The sloop passed buoy 10 on the return at 4:36:15. having made the run to the light ship in 64 minutes 3 seconds. The ‘Thistle rounded the buoy at 4:52:47, having accomplished the run in 51 minutes 32 seconds, thus gaining 2 minutes 31 seconds on the Volunteer on this leg. In the run from buoy 10 to the finish the Volun- teer gained 1 minate 414 seconds, The foliow- ing are tho official figures: Start, Finish. Elapsed. Cor, HM. 8. HM. 5. HM. 8.

Itsoon diminished to about 10 miles, After the vessels rounded the outer mark it fresheued steadily, aud at the finish was blow- ing more than 20 miles an hour. It was an un- usually true wind, making but one shift of four points to the southward, and then going back to east by north. The shift favored neither boat. The Volunteer went to windward of the Thistle at the very start, and decided the race in the first board. On the starboard tack the yachts had the sea abeam, and on the port tack ahead. On the latter the Volunteer beat her opponent much more than on tae former. The Thistle gained ou the ran in, again demon- strating that sbe was fast before the wind. If she had not been all cut away under the water forward, she would probably have been a much better windward yacht, The racers rounded the outer mark as follows: Volunteer, 2:26:40:¢; Thistle, 2:41:00. The sloop beat her antugo- nist in the windward work 14 minutes 494 seo- onds, On the run in the Thistle gained 4 min- utes 543¢ seconds, so that the Volunteer won by 11 minutes 4734 seconds, The oiticial figures are as follows: Start, Finish, Elapsed.

All the lengths are on the water- line, except that of the Countess, If these figures show anything, it is that the American and English yachts are approaching one auother in model and that our present vessels are much more substantial and sea- worthy craft than those we turned out fifteen or twenty years ago. There was very little change in American de- signs previous to the advent of the famous Scotch cutter Madge in 1881. To be sure, Com- modore Robt. Center had designed and built the stanch cutter Volante, but most yachtsmen regarded him as an Anglomaniac. Other cut- ters followed, but the Madge carried the day. She is of the extreme type. 38 ft. 6 in. on the water line. 7 ft. Yin. wide, 464 fect over all, and 8 ft. 4 in. draught. Sue was matched against the Schemer, Wave, Shadow, and Mis- tral, The Schemer, for instance, is 39,1 ft. over all, 36.4 on the water line, and 14.6 ft. beam. The Madge beat every boat she met with ease, and in anything like a seaway played with them. She taugat us a good les- son as to the value of depth. and one of the best results of it was the building of the cutter Bedouin, designed by John Harvey, a man who p sina “dra praise than he gets, The Bedouin is a fine type of vessel, possessing much more beam than the old style of English cutter, She has a beam of 16 ft. 6 in., with a water line of 70 ft. 6 in., while the Galatea has 15 ft. of beam to 86 ft. of water line. The Be- douin wrestled for the supremacy with the new Katrina all through last year's cruise of the New York yacht club, and whenever there was any breeze she always beat her opponent. Since the advent of the Madge our best yachts have been made narrower and deeper and we have adopted the best features of the Euglish rig. Such yacutsas the Titania and Volunteer are not sloops at all, but simply center-board cutters. What changes were in- troduced in designing th Maydower? I quote Bir, Burgess: “We had certain points in view in designing the Mayflower, which we thought wouid make her better than the Puritan. In order to make her easier in a seaway her bilge was made shghtly eusier and the center of avity lowered, the center of buoyancy ‘ing cousiderably lowered also.” “What 7. length, 100 ft.; bea: are main differences between the Vol- unteer and Mayflower? The former is a trifle longer, her bea: thi line is alittle e Wal less and her Graught is a little greater, I su; pose there can be no doubt that the ‘Thistlese the best yacht that ever came after the cup. Certainly she fully proved her superiority to ali her English competitors, Whut striking change of design did she present? Ona water line of over 6 inches less than the Galatea she had 5 feet more beam.
