THE AMERICA’S CUP. England's New Attempt to Regain the Lost Troph; STORY OF PREVIOUS CONTESTS. How the America First Carried Off the Great Prize. AN INTERESTING HISTORY. Tomorrow England, represented by Lord Dunraven's yacht, the Valkyrie, will make her eighth attempt to win back the historic America’s cup. The story of the America’s vietory is well known to every yachtsman. ‘The circumstances attending that race, and the subsequent races in which British yachtsmen strove in vain to regain the lost trophy, are related by the New York “Her- ald” as follow: Commodore John C. Stevens and a few friends gave George Steers, the ship build- er, of New York, an order for a racing schooner, it being built to be sent abroad to maintain the reputation of the American fiag. She first went to Havre and was there ‘fitted for the purpose which caused her to cross the ocean. From Havre she visited Cowes, then, as now, the rendezvous of Yachts intent upon racing. Her arrival and trim appearance alarmed the British yachtsmen, and this was visibly increased ‘when Commodore Stevens offered to sail the America against any British vessel for from one to ten thousand guineas, the only proviso named being that there should be a six knot breeze. There was no reply to this challenge, and Commodore Stevens was finally compelled to enter his boat in the regatta of the Royal Yacht Squadron, Au- gust 22, 1851. The course was from Cowes around the Isie of Wight. Seventeen ‘The Famous America. Yachts opposed the American craft, and all Were most disastrously defeated, and the cup prize was in time handed over to Com- modore Stevens. That prize was the cup for which the Valkyrie has crossed the ocean, and which English yachtsmen have so long and earnestly fought to reclaim. ‘Talk of the Time. Regarding the race, an English authority said at the time: “A large portion of the Peerage and gentry of the united kingdom left their residences and forsook the sports of the moor to witness the struggle of the yachtsmen of England, hitherto unmatehed and unchallenged, and the Americans who had crossed the Atlantic to meet them. All the feelings of that vast population which swarms in our southern ports and firmly believe in ‘Rule Britannia’ as an article of national faith—all the prejudices of the wealthy aristocracy and gentry who re- garded the beautiful vessels in which they cruised about the Mediterranean every sum- mer ag the perfection of naval architecture —were roused to the highest degree, and even the Queen of England did not deem the occasion unworthy of her presence. From the Royal Cork Club, which was founded in 1720, to the Royal London, es- tablished in 149, there are seventeen yacht clubs in various parts of the united king- dom—ten English, four Irish, two Scotch and one Welsh, and not one of them has ever seen a foreigner enter the lists in the annual matches. It was just known that there was an Imperial Yacht Club of St. Petersburg. maintained, it was affirmed, by the imperial treasury, to encourage a nautical spirit among the nobility, and that some ten or eleven owners of yachts at Rotterdam had enrolied themselves as the “Royal Netheriand Yacht Club;’ but till the America came over the few who were aware of the fact that there was @ flourish- ing club at New York did not regard ft as of the slightest consequence or at all like- ly to interfere with their monopoly of the maniliest and most useful of all sports.” “The America sailed from Cowes to Os- borne,” is the record of the time, “on the intimation that the queen wished to inspect her. On her arrival there, her majesty, with Prince Albert and suite, went on board and spent half an hour in a close inspection ef the famous boat.” Commodore Stevens soon after sold the America to an English gentleman, who altered her rig and used her for cruising until 1861, When her name was changed to Camilla. She was sold. and, being furnished with a heavy gun, was dispatched from England as a confederate cruiser, her name then being Memphis. It was soon ascer- tained that whe was a failure for this bust-| ness, as in light winds the slowest vessel in the blockading fleet was a match for | her. She was run up the St. John’s river, Florida, and sunk tn the mud for safety. ‘The officers of the American frigate Wa- hash had her dug out, and in time she was sent to Annapolis and for a while used as # training schooner by the cadets. Beng sent to New York the United States gov- ernment refitted her in 1871, when she met the British schooner Livonia, that had been defeated in her mission for the cup, and was beaten, the trouble being that she was rig- fed like a man-of-war and sailed by an officer little acquainted with yacht racing. The same year the government disposed of the America at_ auction, and she was purchased by Gen. Benjamin F. Butler and Col. Jonas H. French, who had her refitted in a senstble yachting way. Since then she has sailed many itable races and been a winner on memorable occasions. A new stern has been given her. making her eight feet longer on deck, her interior fittings sompletely changed, the rake taken from ‘The Vigttant. ger masts and she is painted white. Mr. Paul Butler, son of Gen. Butler, owns her now, and her present dimensions are as foley Length over all, 108 feet; on water line, 06 feet; breadth of beam, ‘22 feet § inches; depth of hold, ¥ feet; draught water, 11 feet Look out for her among the fleet that will be off Sandy Hook the first interna- tional race, as she may be there. And if there she will be entitled to a salute from every other yacht that is assembled to wit- ness the cracks in their international tussle. Coming After the ¢ ‘There have been seven challenges previous- ly received and accepted by the New York Yacht Club. They involved sixteen races, | one of which only fell to the challenging yacht—that of the Livonia against the Co- lumbia, when the latter was disabled, in ISL. The vessels that have made the inter- Rational aquatic assaults are the Cambria, Livonia, Countess of Dufferin, Atalanta, Genesta, Galatea and Thistle. These cover pertod of twenty-two years, and to the Veterans who may be daily seen about the €lub house It does not seem so long after all, and though their hair may have grown white meanwhile the recollections of the excitement incident to these remarkable occasions are just as vivid and are recalled With as much pieasantness as though they ail took place during the past decade. The first of these contests brought out the fleet of the club, it being maintained that as the America won the cup against all comers. > the Cambria should meet the racers of the squadron. The race took place over the old club course, the start and finish being inside the Narrows. It was on August §, 180, more than twenty-three years azo. Wnat a day that was!

Sandy Hook was thick with excursion steamers and all manner of sailing craft. Newspaper offices and bulletins were be- sieged and upon the receipt of favorable news there were cheers upon cheers. until at last, when it was learned that the Magic had defeated the visiting yacht in hollow fashion, great rejoicing followed. That was the only one of the interna- tional matches in which the challenging yacht met the fleet of the club. It was boat for boat in the other races, the British yachtsmen holding that such a course was only fair and equitable. Mr. Jas. Ashbury was the owner of the Cambria, and his de- feat only stimulated him to further action. ‘He built the schooner Livonia in 1871 and again challenged for the cup and obtained concessions which made his task easier, though it was a difficult one at the best. Five races were sailed, the cup defenders being the schooner Columbia, owned by Mr. Franklin an earnest yachts- and whose interest in the coming race is just as keen as when, twenty-two years ago, he stood on the deck of his wonderful boat and saw the enemy beaten to a stand- still. In one of these races, the third, sailed on October 19 that year over the club course, the Columbia, then the Livonia's opponent, was disabled and the British craft crossed the finish line 15m. 10s. in ad- vance of the American yacht. That was a sorry day, but the Columbia had already twice laid low the pride of Great Britain, and while the defeat, due to an accident, was annoying, there was nothing to feel disheartened over. Revenge was had when the Sappho met the Livonia, two days later, in the fourth race of the series. The course was twenty miles to windward off Sandy Hook lightship and return, and the mar- velous Sappho had over half an hour to spare at the finish. New York was hilari- ous over the result and it was felt that the old prize would, at least for another year, remain in the custody of the club, though there was one more race, the fifth, to take place. It was duly sailed on October 23, and it was over the club course. Again the Sappho showed her superiority, as she was Just 25m. 42s. ahead of the other at the end. ‘And that settled the Livonia’s pretensions. ‘The cup went back into the safe and the New York Yacht Club breathed freer. From Canada Next. Five years elapsed, and out of Canada came the next challenger. Maj. Gifford was his name and the Countess of Dufferin his yacht. The major departed a wiser man in a yachting sense, but was charmed with the hospitality of the New York club. The Madeleine was the cup defender, and she beat the Countess in straight races quite easily. These races were sailed in August of the centennial year, and the patriotism of America’s sons was at fever heat. Maj. Gifford’s discomfiture was an opportunity to show the deep interest felt in every battle by the yachtsmen, who gloried in the “land of the free and the home of the brave.” Again a lapse of five years, and once more from Canada came a challenge which was promptly accepted. This time it was Mr. Alexander Cuthbert and his boat, the sloop Atlanta. The iron boat Mischief, from the head of Mr. A. Cary Smith, still alive and hearty, and owned by Mr. Joseph R. Busk, was the defender. The Mischief, upon mischief bent indeed, almost smothered the foreign craft, as two races were sufficient to settle her and quench the hopes of her owner. The courses were the regular club course for the first contest and sixteen miles to lee- ward from buoy No. 5 off Sandy Hook, and return for the second. The club felt’ sure that there would not for a time be another Canadian challenger. And, in fact, they did not care to be bothered with them in the future. So early in January, 18%, there was a new deed of gift at the hands of Mr. George L. Schuyler, which contained this condition among others: “Any organ- ized yacht club of a foreign country incor- porated, patented or licensed by the legis- lature, admiralty or other executive depart- ment, having for its annual regatta an ocean water course on the sea or on an arm of the sea (or one which combines both) practicable for vessels of 300 tons, shall al- ways be entitled, through one or more of its members, to the right of sailing a match for the cup with a yacht or other vessel propelled by sails only and constructed in the country to which the challenging club belongs against any one yacht or vessel as aforesaid constructed in the country of the club holding the cup.” And that ended the aspirations of the Canadian yachtsmen, who, like the owners of the Countess of Dufferin and the Atalanta, had challenged and succeeded in getting races for the old cup. Determined Assaults. Then the new era of things. Yachting | interests had steadily developed on both sides of the Atlantic. Skilled designers had | evolved faster boats, and the persistency | of the British yachtsmen was again demon- strated. and that in a formidable manner. The club received a challenge in 18% in the interest of Sir Richard Sutton, his yacht be- ing the cutter Genesta, and the races were sailed in September of that year. Against her was placed the Puritan of Boston, her | representative owner being Mr. J. Malcolm Forbes, as earnest a yachtsman as ever | ved. and now commodore of the Eastern | Yacht Club. "Twas well that the Puritan | was built. "Twas weil that Edward Burgess, | her designer, lived at that time and w | given a chance to show his country | that he had the ability to design a suce | tul cup defender. was not that margin between the boats that was desired and hoped for by the club, which will be seen by the inspection of the figures given below. Thus, in the first race of the series, over the regular club course, the Puritan was 16m. 19s. to the good, which | was well, but in the second race, ‘twenty miles to’ leeward off Sandy Hook light- ship and return, the Puritan won by Im. 38s. only, and throughout the con- test there was the fear that the Ameri- can yacht would be defeated. It was a victory, however, but stands today as the best and closest struggle ever given the club's champion for the prize, and even now is quoted as showing what might hap- pen if the greatest care is not taken to meet th» challenging yacht of this year. After the Puritan-Genesta match the yachtsmen of Great Britain were thoroughly aroused. In the following year—1%9%—Lieut. William Henn, R. N.. came over with the cutter Galatea, believing he had a yacht that possessed such qualities as would make her invincible. try as the Yankees might. ‘There was little trouble in arrangine the races.

Those were vachting days. Amer- fea never felt alarmed. As her exnerts had Predicted, so turned out the contest.

Such is the story in brief of the seven matches sailed for the cup up to and includ- ing the year 1887. There had much been learned meanwhile by yachtemen on both sides of the Atlantic. The British gentle- men had ascertained that the Yankees were equal to emergencies and were not easily defeated. The Yankees learned that the for- eigners were enthusiastic in the matter of winning back the cup, while their efforts were always determined and could not be easily disposed of.

Two years later, or in 1839, Lord Dunraven appeared on the scene and desired to challenge for the cup in the name of the Royal Yacht Squadron, his vessel being the old Valkyrie, and now owned by Count ignazio Florio of Palermo. The deed of gift was the stumbling block, and the committee of the Royal Yacht Squadron re. fused to sanction the chaltenge. It was a ripple that did not long remain visible, but it showed the New York Yacht Club ‘that the desire to regain possession of the cld prize was as great as ever, though {t was desired, even demanded, that there should be concessions granted by its holders. The New York club and Lord Dunraven termi- nated their correspondence in the most friendly spirit. Meanwhile Yankee designers were not idle. Many fast boats were built, until in the year 1891 the Gloriana flashed across the yachting horizon of the world. Her canoe bow and other marked departures from the old beaten paths of form startled the naval architects on both sides of the Atlantic. The Herreshoffs were responsible for the new creation. Her success was phenomenal, and in time her model was extensively cop: fed. Not only did American designers gen- erally adopt her chief characteristics, but abroad they also caught the Glori wer, and today the representative racing yachts of both Great Britain and this country bear the finger prints of the original forty-six footer that carried everything before her, and at the end of her maiden year was the champion of her class and the winner over yachts many sizes larger. With this triumph so clearly before them the yachts- men here forgot for the time that there were clever imitators across the sea, but the Herreshoffs went on working as chances offered, and in 1892 there was taunched for Mr. Archibald Rogers, now rear commodore of the New York Yacht Club, the forty-six footer Wasp, an ac- knowledged improvement on the Glorlana. She beat the latter, and the year ended with that shape of craft being recognized as the speediest for pleasure boats that ever floated. Lord Dunraven had many consultations with Mr. G. L. Watson, the yacht designer of Glasgow, and last year it was ascertain- ed what they all meant. He had determin- ed to try again for the America’s cup, and this time the effort was to be made in the most persistent manner. Through the ef- forts of Mr. Richard Grant, secretary of the Royal Yacht Squadron, and with the advice of the Prince of Wales, the squadron's com- modore, a line of attack was in time agreed upon by Lord Dunraven, and it was car- ried out consistently and with much perti- nacity. Tt was claimed that the New York club had no right to exact of the challenger all the dimensions of the boat that he would send across the ocean to battle for the cup, and after much delay and repeated letters and cablegrams of an explanatory nature, it was intimated that the New York club would accept a challenge from their old friend by his simply giving the load water line length of his yacht. That was what had long been sought, and on November 25, 1882, the Royal Yacht Squadron sent its challenge, naming Lord Dunraven’s cutter rigged yacht Valkyrie, with an estimated load water line length of eighty-five feet. ‘The challenge was accepjed in due season, and once more the New ‘York club had an International match—the eighth—on hand and to deal with. “We must win again,” they said,and the country repeated the bold and cheerful remark. ‘The pluck and persistency of Lord Dun- raven were favorably commented upon. He had left a good impression in 1389, and the yachtsmen of the country realized that the club was dealing with an experienced yachtsman and thorough sportsman. His record was of the best at home and abroad, and so it was pleasant to have such an op- ponent. He is a member of many clubs,and also a commodore. The list of clubs that he belongs to are the Royal Yacht Squad- ron, at Cowes; Royal Cork Yacht Club, at Queenstown: Royal Southern, at Southamp- ton; Royal Victoria, at Ryde; Royal West- ern, at Plymouth; Royal Alfred, at Kings- town; Royal Clyde, at Hunter's Quay; New Thames, at Thames; Royal Southampton, at Southampton; Royal Portsmouth (Corin- thian), at Portsmouth, and the Castle Club, at Caishot Castle, of which he ts the com- modore. Of boats he has built many, and today is the owner of a small fleet. His chatienging yacht, Valkyrie, is, of course, in first place, but a recent addition, the twenty-rater Deirdre, is attracting much attention, as she {s of a type similar to the form of the madern,racer. ‘The Valkyrie. Dunraven's yacht, the Valkyrie, is gen- |erally regarded by English experts as the veasel best fitted to compete for the Ameri- ca’s cup. She {s the work of G. L. Watson, | and was built at the yard of David Hender- son & Co. in Glasgow. She ts of composite bufld, 86.82 feet on the water line, 120 feet over ‘all, 22 feet beam, has a sail spread of |10,207 feet, and, according to yacht racing rules, measures 147.70 tons. She has a draught of about 1§ feet. Her lead, which weighs In the neighborhood of 75 tons, is | carried well forward with a gradual rise, while aft she is finely tapered in the way of a fin down to the heel, giving her tremen- dous grip. The spar and sail plans are very large, her boom being over ninety feet iong. ‘The mast is stepped well forward, and all her propelling power will be in the mainsail. Her bowsprit only projects outboard about | sixteen feet. She is commanded by Capt. | William Cranfield, considered one of the |best skippers in ‘England, and since the opening of the yachting season has made a Out of twenty-three starts the Valkyrie won eleven first and four second prizes, and was second in the race for the Town cup of Cowes. The Cup Defenders. When Dunraven’s challenge was finally accepted by the New York Yacht Club or- ders were given for four cup defenders. Under the present plan of competition it is decided by preliminary races what yacht shall have the honor of defending the cup. Of the four yachts built for the purpose the Vigilant has been selected for this year’s race, the Colonia held in reserve to take {ts place should any accident befall. Both ,the Vigilant and Colonia are the work of Nathaniel G. Herreshotf, who is now easily the foremost of American yacht designers. He is still a young man, comes of a family of famous sailors and ship- builders, and first gained general recogni- tion with the Gloriana, the crack forty- six foot yacht of the season of 189. The Gloriana ‘was a radical and sweeping de- Parture from nearly all existing ideas of yacht construction. The bulk underwater was largely cut away, while the full area of the load water plane was preserved and an excess of bulk above water gained. The result of this departure was the greatest Possible “stability through the extended area of the load water plane, aided by the low position of the ballast in the deep keel; the reduction of all useless frictional sur- face through the cutting away of the dead wood forward, and the production of a form which through its smooth round diag- onals was easy to drive, and which changed but little as the yacht pitched and rolled. Coupled with these important features was another, which by its instant appeal to the eye attracted a degree of attention which it did not deserve, and claimed a credit which by no means belonged to it. The ends of the boat, not only aft, but forward, were carried out to an extravagant length, the total overhang of bow and stern being over twenty-five feet on a water line length of but forty-five feet. Two important factors in the Gloriana’s success were the very Ught construction of the hull, a double skin of thin wood on steel frames and the perfection of every detail of her rigging and canvas.” The Gloriana won race after Face in 1891, and in 1892 Mr. Herreshoff was galled on to improve upon his own work. He did so with the Wasp, which proved even faster than the Gloriana. The Wasp’s principal features are-a very long floor and side to sail on, well disposed displacement, an easy run aft to clear the water, full ends and low lead, which give great sta- bility and great motive power produced by @ tremendous sail area. ‘The Vigilant. The Vigilant, Mr. Herreshoff’s master creation this year, is closely modeled after the Wasp, with modifications due to the in- creased proportionate beam. Her dimen- sions are as follows: Length over all, 124; load-water line, 8 feet; beam, 26 fect, and draught of water, 14 feet. She is a’ deep center board boat; her boom is little short of 100 feet and her sail power is very great. She is an experiment in many ways. She not only carries a tremendous sail plan, but she is plated with Tobin bronze up to her top streak, which is of steel. Tobin bronze, it 1s asserted, will not rust even in salt wa- ter, and by polishing it a smooth surface ¢an be obtained which will be like glass. Tobin bronze does not foul readily, which is another advantage, and if it should prove successful as applied to the Vigilant it will probably come into general use for racing boats. The rig of the Vigilant is hand- some. Her spars are *Imost perfect and her sails are very fine. The Vigilant has proved herself a very fast sailer,especially to wind- ward. Speed is gained ‘by an easy bilge, and stability by a great beam and low lead. ‘The designer seems to have aimed to pro- duce in her a deep center board of the very best type, and thus far his efforts appear to have been entirely successful. The Vigilant is owned by a New York syndicate, headed by C. Oliver Iselin, who has had active charge of her since she went into commission. Her sailing master is Capt. Wm. Hansen. Seca ee THE BIG BILLIARD MATCH. Roberts Leads Ives in the Contest at New York. ‘The second game of the series in the bil- Mard match between the English champion, Roberts, and the American champion, Ives, played at New York yesterday afternoon, was for 80) points, Roberts having Monday night run 1,001 points.

Gusta, on Spencer street, the ceremony being performed by Rev. Father Russell, pastor of St. Jerome's Catholic Church, The bride entered the parlor on the arm of her father. She was becomingly attired in a traveling ress of steel blue cloth and carried a bouquet of white roses. Mr. Elmo Glusta, brother of the bride, was best man, and Miss Marie Crutchett, ‘maid of honor. A number of invited guests were present and a reception was held after the cere- mony.
