America's cup crossed the Atlantic, where it has since remalned, thanks to the sclence of our designers and builders, at ® perlod when yachting was in its in- fancy in the United States. Indeed, Amer- fca was nothing more than a New York pilot boat, of exactly similar type to the —_—_— A MOUNTAIN CLIMBER. Gaine 12 1bs. on Change of Food. When a change in food can rebuild a man 71 years of age, it is evidence that there is some value in a knowledge that can di criminate in the selection of proper food to rebulld the body. A fow months ago the physiclan attending Warren 8. Johnson of Coifax, Cal, 77 years old, told him that death from old age would soon claim him. He suffered from general weakness and debility Au old lady advised him to quit coffee and drink Postum Cereal Food Coffee and to eat Grape-Nuts breakfast foo! every morning. Ho took the advice, and has gained 12 pounds. Says be s as well as| he over was, and can take long trips in the mountains, which he has been ubable to do for a long time. There {s a reason for this; in the first place, coffee acts as a direct nerve dostroy- er on many highly organized people, both young and old, and many people haven't the knowledge to select nourishing, health- ful, rebuilding food. Both Postum Food Coffee and Grape-Nuts breakfast food are made from selected parts of the fleld grains that contain del- fcate particles of phosphate of potash and albumen. These two elements combine in the human body to' quickly rebuild the gray matter in the brain and in the merve cen- ters throughout the body. Direct, sure, and certain results come from their use and can be proven by any person that cares to make the trial.

From Havre it sailed for Cowes, England's famous cruis- ing and racing grounds It was during its trip across the Atlantie that the now historical cup, in the defense of which millions have been spent, while millions more have gone in the vaii effort to restore it to the custody of the English yachtsmen, was offered by the Royal Yacht club. Competition for this trophy was open to all the world When America re. arrived at Cowes its | owners Issued a general challenge to race any English boat afloat and for any sum from 50 gulncas to 50,000, This deflance was recelved by the English sportemen as Yankee humor and no attention was paid ot it ever, a match was arranged with Titania for $300, the course to be seventy miles to windward and back. At the same timo the American yachtsmen were officially in- formed that tbey could, If they so desired, compete for the cup, the race for which ¢as to be salled August 22, This they con- cluded to do. Engl Meanwhile America had been the subj of much adverse criticlam. Its salls, which trimmed flat, in particular did offense to Criticlne America’s Rig. | the English iden of how canvas should set. that cons 1t was not for a moment allowed America would be in the race. The test lay between the home yachts. Its owners said nothing all this time. They were willing to wait thelr opportunity. On the 22d of August America, in com other schooners and as many more cutters, cleared for the his- toric race. The course lay around the Isle ot Wight The start was made o'clock in the morning halt later America was a good two miles in the lead. As it tore along with a fresh- ening wind the Britishers took in its per- formance In open-eyed astonishment. The race promised to be not at all what had been antlclpated. About 5 o'clock in the afternoon the surprising Yankee craft rounded the Needles with the nearest Eng lish boat, the schooner Aurora elght miles astern. It finished at 8:35 p. m., and when the queen, who had viewed the start from the royal yacht, asked: *‘Who was second?’ the answer came: “There Is no second." In this manaer the Royal Yacht squad- trophy came to be known as Ameri- 1s on this cup that Sir promptly at 10 ca’s cup, and it | Thomas Johnstone Lipton has designs, and, perhaps, quite incidentally, on the Ameri- can teacup as well British First Try. The trophy was won in 1851, but it was not until seventeen years later that it oc- curred to an Englishman to cross the At- lantic and have a try for it. This was in when James Asbury of the Royal Thames Yacht ciub conceived the patriotic notion of restoring the cup to England. The race, however, did not come off until 1870, when Cambria was sent over. The cup was detended by elghteen American yachts. Of these Magle proved the fastest, Idler same second, while America finished third. Cam- bria won only the tenth place. This one race was considered a gufficient test of the merits of the competing crafts. The faot that America finished third indicates how slight was the advance we had . made in yacht bullding in all the years that had clapsed since the cup journeyed here. Mr. Asbury, ou his return to Kngland, at once began the building of a new' boat, Li- vonia. This marked an epoch in the inter- . for up to this time no yacht igned to race for The terms governing the second contest in American waters were decldedly in favor of the cup defender, for while it was agreed that Livonia should meet but one boat, the New York Yacht club stipulated that it should have the privilege of selecting that boat on the day of the race. The injustice of this lay in the fact that a boat could be picked which had shown exceptional ability in the sort of weather that prevailed on the day of the race. As four races were to be jalled, the result of this rather shrewd ar- rangement was that Livonla was lable to have to race a different yacht each day. The firet of the four races was salled Au- gust 16, 1871, It was won by Columbia. In the second race of the series it again walked off with the homors. In the third, however, it met with an accident and Li- vonta won. Sappho was mow put up as the defender and took two races from the eng- Mehmen, wiich proved that we had good boats to spare on this side. While this contest wae a matter of con- slderable interest to many, it created noth- ing like the Intense excitement and enthu. slasm that all classes and all sections, both here and in England, feel now. It had not yet come to be regarded as an internatlonal event. Canada Tries a Crack. Following the defeat of Livonia there was a lapse of five years, and then the Canadian schooner Countess of Dufferin challenged for the trophy, The glory of the America yacht vas entrusted to Madelelne to de- tend. There were two races and Countess of Dufferin returned to Canada without the cup. There was an interval of five yeara more aud then Canada made a second attempt for the cup. The challenger was the cen- terboard cloop Atalanta. We now aband- wned the schooner type which had stood us in such good stead in the past and put forward the single aticker Mischief. Two races were salled—the first November 9 and the second November 10. In both Mischief won easily.

The final chotce of the New York Yacht club's committee was the latter boat, its superiority having been decided when the two sloops met to compete for the Goelet cup. & The great race was sailed in September of 1885 and the cup still remained on this side of the Atlantic. The following year Galatea met Mayflower with no better luck A Scotch syndicate now took a hand o the game. It sent Thistle over in 1887, To meet it General Paine bullt the steel cutter Volunteer. This race lasted the British sportsmen for five years. They had falled during three successive years and they were satisfied, The sport was only lying fallow, how- ever, for in 1893 the earl of Dunraven challenged with Valkyrie, to be beaten by Vigilant in three races, salled October 7. 9 and 13. But Lord Dunraven was not discouraged and In 1895 he reappeared on the scene with Valkyrie 11l to race De- fender.

The Times in an editorial today says there is nothing the- atrical about the exchange of the messages between the cmperors of China and Japan, yet it may prove of greater and lnsting {m- portance in eastern polftics than more osientatious performances. There is, says the Times, a ring of relative sincerity In many passages of Emperor Kwang Su's let- ter not observable in his recent autograph: The most progressive and patriotie of the I"hhu“u, viceroys and governors are, says the editcrial. quite seneible of the services Japdn has rendered China.

To Japan belongs the credit of belng the first power to tell the Chinese plainly that permanent peace In Asia_will best be gained by speedy re- form.

MORE POINTS THAN ENGLISH Yankee Athletes Beat Visiters in Six of the Nine Eveata. YALE AND HARVARD DIVIDE THE HONORS Cambridge, Howe to Do AN the Winning for Its Cousins, s Oxford Seems Ont- ned. NEW YORK, Sept. 2.—The athletes of Yale and Harvard met the athletic repre- senative of Oxford and Cambridge universities at Berkeley oval (o track and fleld events, and, as was expacted, the Americans proved to be too much for the visitors, the Americans winning six out of the nine cvents on the program. Points were counted for wins oniv, so that tho Harvard and Yale men defeated their Eng- lish opponents by 4 score of 6 points to 3. A better conflitfon of weather could not have prevalled; the athletes were favored by a warm suf and a cooling breeze which blew down the hdmestretch, but was not strong emough to afd the Aight of the run- ners. Between the American universities honors were equally divided, Harvard and Yale winning three events. The Oxford representatives falled to gain a point for the visiting team, the light blue of Cam- bridge being to the front In tho three events won by the Englishmen. Hurdlers Closeat. The closest event of the day was the 120- yard burdle event. Garnler ot Oxford and Converse of Harvard had the issue between themselves from the crack of the pistol. Up to tne elghth hurdle they were abreast, several yards in front of Allcock of Cam- bridge and Clapp of Yale. Golng over the last hurdle Converse galued a couple of inches und as he threw his hands up ot ths tape the Harvard man was barely six inches In front of Garnier, the time being 0:16 3-5. Clapp's showlug was a disappointment to many, who belleved the Yale hurdler would have been a contestant at the tape, but he finlshed a couple of feet behind Allcock, who ran third, nearly three yards behind the winger Hargrave of Yale made a superhuman effor toward the finish of the 100-yard dash, which he won in 0:10 2-5. Halgh of Harvard, who was on the inside, led for nearly fifty yards, when he was passed by Hind of Cambridge, who was next to him. Hargrave wie equal (o (he occasfon and with a wonderful spurt assumed the lead and won by a yard. Fast Half Mile, In the one-half-mile run Franchot ot Yale wdn the toss for pole position, but as Workman of Cambridge wished to try for a record, the Yale man conceded the position. Workman {s certainly a great runner, but he was unable to break the record of 1:63 2-5, established by C. H. Kilpatrick six years ago In the international games at Manbattan. Workman won very handily, with Cleav of Oxford second, in 1:53-5, just two and one-fifth seconds behind the record. Rust of Harvard won the quarter-mile run, with Boardman his close attendant, neither of the Englishmen being able to get on even terms with the fiylng leaders at any stage of the game. In the one-mile run Cawthra, Cockshott and Gregson, ail of Cambridge, made the running and held the lead between them into the first lap. Knowles of Harvard then made his effort, but the best he could do was to pass Cawthra, who dropped back, Clark of Harvalrd running into fourth place. They ran In thiW order {nto the stretch, with Cockshott twenty-five yards ahead. Eo far as the Amierfcan runners were concerned, they never had 4 ghost of a show, as Cock- shott won easily, while Gregson, his club mate, finished flve yards In front of Knowles, who made a plucky effort. Two Mile Run and Fleld Even: In the two-mile run Workman and Me- Naughton of Cambridge and Dawson of Oxtord cut out the running with Mills and Swan of Harvard and Teel of Yale, running as named. There was no change in these positions during the first mile, but In the second mile McNaughton and Teel were out of it. Workman was always running well within himself and at all stages of the race he looked to be a sure winner. Without faltering for a second Workman won out by at least forty yards, Mills and Swan fight- ing it out for second honors, with Dawson fourth, three yards back. In the field events the Amertcans had it all thelr own way. May of Oxford caused A good deal of surprise by his exhibition with the sixteen-pound hammer. His first throw was 119 feet 2 inches, but his second attempt was a woaderful improvement, as he threw the hammer 128 feet 3 inches, gaining second place to W. A. Boal of Harvard, who won the throw with 13 feet 3 inches. G. Stillman of Yale was unable to appear and his place was taken by Rich- ard Sheldon of Yale, but he also was in bad physical condition and after making one ineffectual attempt he retired from the contest, Henderson of Oxford finishing third, nis best throw being 111 feet 4% inches. Spraker Takes Running Jump. Spraker of Yale carried off the honors in the running high jump as well as in the running broad jump. In the high jemp Kernan of Harvard tled Spraker at 6 feet % inch. The bar was then ralsed one inch and Spraker cleared it, Kernan fall- ing to get over. G. H. Smith of Cambridge dropped out of the contest after clearing 5 feet 10% inches, and Henderson of Ox- tord, who took part in the running broad jump and hammer-throwing contest, was fourth with a Jump of 5 feet 9 Inches. Spraker won the running broad with a Jump of 22 feet 4 Inches, Ristine of Har- vard being second with 21 feet 4 inches. Henderson cleared 19 feet 9 inches and Cornish of Oxford, who wrenched his knee shortly after he arrived in this country, made An attempt, but his leg twisted under him and he had to retire from the contest after this painful effort. ach Event One Point. The points to count for a decision of the match were one for each winner, making nine points in all. Yale and Harvard teams were favorites and their adherents sald they would win six out of the nine events, as they did, but Evert Jansen Wendell, who 1s chalrman of the Yale-Harvard joint com- mittee, said that he would be perfectly sat- isfled with a score of & to 4 in favor of the American collegians.

The only consolation is that we excel as un mistakably in stamina as the Americans do in dash.” This s a fair example of the comments in the morning papers on the contests at Berkeley Oval The Daily Telegraph, which expresses itselt as highly pleased at the courtesy of Franchot of Yale in yielding his place to Workman of Cambridge, which t char- acterizes as “an excellent example of chivalry in sport,” admits that there is nothing to show that the Englishmen were adversely affected by the climate and says The two meetings already held have boen 80 successtul that a regular blennial meet- ing would be Immensely popular.
