The start was made from a point a short distance seaward of the Sandy Hook Lighiship, and the course lay to the south-southwest, the conditions of the race requiring a run of fifteen miles to leeward and return, which means a beat back—that is against the wind—to the starting line. The winner of the contest must take three races out of five, to be sailed every other day, weather conditions permitting, and excepting Sunday, until the series shall have been finished. The schooner America, representing the New York Yacht Club, won the cup that has since been known by her name from the Royal Yacht Club in 1851. Each race must be completed within five and one-half hours after the starting gun has been fired.
