The Ami:ki(\, so auspiciouslx^ named for the xictor in such a contest, lias outlived several of her associate defenders ot the cup and is still staunch and able, showing" herself each season in smart trim. In comparison with her marvelous, modern cotemporaries, the noble appearance of the AmI'.kica is well maintained and her honors borne with i^raciousness and dignity becoming:;" to age and fame. In those qualities that gained for her so brilliant a prestige the America ma)^ still be considered no '' slouch." Amid the galaxy of noted \'achts gathered each \'ear upon the occasion of the annual cruise of the New \'ork \'acht Club, is usuallx" found the gallant Amkkica, the object of admiration and the idol of reverence. While the exentful race sailed in haiglish waters around the Isle of Wight, just a half century ago, was an occurrence interesting to the whole world, it was more especially so to the participants, England and America. It was the first challenge of English yachtsmen to those outside their own country. In 185 I the first World's Fair was projected to take place in England. All the world was invited to display its natural and skilled products. The great exhibition at the Crystal Palace in London was to celebrate England's progress and demonstrate her commercial supremacy. The undertaking w^as an advance far beyond the ideas of any other nation, and London, then the foremost commercial city of the world, was crowded with visitors from every foreign land. To demonstrate their proficiency was a com- mendable purpose of the English yachtsmen. A race was arranged to take place during the progress of the International Exhibition, and an invitation was extended to foreigners to partici- pate Inheriting royal patronage, the Royal Yacht Squadron of Cowes was the club to issue the challenge, which really was more in the form of an invitation to participate than a challenge of serious import. c I 1k' j)rizc tor the winiUT was a siU'cr cup \aliu'(l at one liiiiulre'd L^iiincas. luii^lish xaclit clubs had been in existence since the \ear 1S12, tlie first in hjiLiland bein^^ the '• \\acht Cdub " of the Isle of W'ii^dit. }W an expressed wish of Kini; William \\\ in 1S20 it assumed the })resent title of " The Roxal Vacht Scjuadron," and e\'er since that time has been favored b}' the patronai^e of ro}'alt\'. To Ireland, however, must be given the credit and honor of ori^anizini^ tlie first \'acht club. The " Cork Harbor W'ater Club " was formed in 1720, wliicli is known to-da\' as tlie " Roxal Cork Vacht Club." English \'achtsmen, from experience and prac- tice in yachting, had acquired such skill in that vocation as to make them feel assured of unqual- ified security in the stronghold of their ability. However, the solitary acceptance of the ex- tended inxitation brought consternation, for which they were not prepared. A slight demonstration created fear in their minds, causing excitement in Kngland over the projected race to be raised to a high pitch. The credit of their countrx' must at all hazard be maintained. ^lO retain the i)rize was tcj realize an acknowledged supremacy in the appli- cation of skill that was the nation's pride. To allow the prize wrested from them was not to be permitted, and they attempted to make prepara- tions for the event complete and exacting. So quiet and unpretentious was the movement in the United States to prepare for an important contest that but few were informed of what was being done, and fewer still realized the significance attached to the undertaking. The America sailed from New York early in the month of July, 185 i, on her important mis- sion without public demonstration. A few of the owners' friends and members of the New York Yacht Club being on hand, gave cheerful **bon voyage" and wishes for good luck. The yacht went direct to Havre, making the trip in twenty-one days. There some changes in her rig were made before sailing for England. It should be understood, as perhaps it is not generally known, that the America was not de- signed or built to enter into any international contest. The yacht was contracted for by Commodore J. C. Stevens, and three other members of the New York Yacht Club, to em- body the advanced ideas of the American yacht dcsiij^ncr. (icori^c Steers, a famous ship builder of tliat (la\-. who constructed the Amkrica on original hues acconi])anied the \aclit across the ocean, and remained with her until she passed to otiier hands. Commodore Stevens, to whom was entrusted the entire management of the America's plans, had received no formal announcement of an international match, his knowledge of such a contemplated plan being derived mereh' from ha\'ing seen a private letter referring to the matter. A letter shown to Commodore Stevens stated that as there was to be that year of the first World's Fair an unusual gathering of yachts in luiglish waters, it would be well if the New \'ork Yacht Club would send a representative )'acht to sail in an International race. No formal challenge was ever received b\' the New York \'acht Club or individuals. it was merely a courteous inx'itation to participate in the contest, if any American yachtsmen felt so in- clined. Xo rules governing the match were known at the time the yacht left the countrw riuis the Ami:ku:a went to luigland in(k'i)endent as a challenhe \\a- refitted .md used as a trainini; ship at Annapolis. Ahout the \ear iS^c), she was houi^ht honi the (ioxcrnnient 1)\' the late lion. Benjamin V. Ihitler, who w itii patriotic niotixes restored her as near as possible to lier original condition, reinstating; the proud name Ami:kic.\. TIhis after a wandering" career of many \ears oxer the xxholc xxorld, filled xx ith a multitude of excite- ments, dani^ers and i)erils, the Ami-.ku a came back to tlic xerx' home of her birth to rest in haj)px- peacefulncss. Rescued from an existence of strife and strui;- '^\e, tlie Amkrica, like Ri]) Wan Winkle, returned to find old land-marks changed and old com- panic^ns ^one. T^or her faithful labors in con- tributing such practical serx'ice to lier countrx*. sliei^ained nexv admirers and friends, and became tile pride of all American x'aclUsmen. The remarkable contest of the L^reat Inter- national I'ace ended with friendlx- feeliuL^s. \\) be sure the Americans xxeie forced into a most desperate struggle against great odds, but Fate appearing with her bounteous favor be- stowed upon them triumphant success. Victory under such conditions added to the degree of success and in itself was a laudable prize. English yachtsmen should not be blamed or charged with unfairness. Resting with confi-. dence in an estimate of the chance of defeat, they were supremely content. A sudden discovery filled their minds with perturbation. Self confidence was quickly dis placed by self defence, and methods of safety had to be hastily prepared. Caution was considered not sufficiently vigorous and shrewdness was drawn upon for support. The case demanded the most heroic treatment, consequently all con- ceivable devices for self-protection were originated and not the slightest perceptible advantage was willingly yielded their adversary. Nevertheless, these were sporting canons and however oppressive had to be accepted. By no manner of means is it easy to realize the sensibilities of an adversary sustaining defeat. The attitude of the English at the time of the first race should not be harshly judged. The slightest disturbance of their equanimity meant consternation ; anticipating defeat was really a ^liock ; whiK" wounded j)ri(U' .md shattcic'd Impc^ atUT a desperate stiiiL;L;le was indeed distress Not until the xietors heeoiiie the xaiKiuislu'd. will thc\' he ahle to eonxert theif imagination to believe in its liardsliips. So let it he reeorded that the fust combat was undertaken in the manly spirit of true rivalry, a disposition visible on both sides in each of the several subsecpient strui^^les for the coveted cup. ()nl\' once were the uniform pleasant conditions disturbed, and then there was a manifest reij^ret all around at its publicity, both sides expressing a feeling of sorrow for the nobleman whose un- fortunate misapprehension led to an unpleasant controversy. Fifty years of \'achting rivalry between the two English speaking nations has not only not diminished the enthusiasm for the sport but has multiplied large!}' the number of its devotees and increased the passionate zeal of its partisans. Dangerously close it must be admitted is now the match of science and skill. The gap of de- sign and contrivance is narrowing to a perilous margin. l^xhaustix'e comjx^tition is forcing the chances of success to the most delicate de\'ices and the most heroic of mana-uvers. A wonderful change has come with the half century, trans- forming the simple sailing vessel into an intricate complicated machine straining to the strongest tension the clever ingenuity of both countries. Hope lasts while defeat is deferred and Amer- ica's characteristic confidence is the same to-day as when Commodore Stevens attempted his work in the face of overwhelming odds. Nineteen hundred and one marks the semi- centennial year of America's possession of the precious prize, whose worth is estimated by the memorial victories it represents. To the modest trophy is given a constantly increasing value as time adds to the number of valiant struggles and gallant strifes to hold or possess it. The persistent endeavor of a defeated antago- nist has supplied the safeguard so steadfastly protecting its opponent. It is the resolute determination of the English compelling a foe to constant watchfulness that has kept American yatchsmen promptly alive to the dangers of inertness ; so far it has enabled them to always outwit their rivals by springing an unlooked for advantage favorable to success. Associated with American yachting history, two famous yachts appear in radiant halo upon its illuniin.itt'd pai^cs. Vhc renown of one was srcnrc'd in c rcatinL; and tlic other in maintaining tin- lanu' of Anu'iican \ aclitini;-. Coincidentallx- ha\c tlu'\- in hotli instances i)cri)c'tuatc(l historv b\- their names. C/i'opafrds luiri^r and A.mi:ki(A, two brilliant settinj^s in tlie worUl's chronicle of time. As the first American xacht of imj)ortance, ap]:)earinL^" lon*^ hefc^re the existence of any American \'acht club, Cleopatra s Barof occupies a unicjue place in her isolated station and b\' lier unparalleled j)erformance. This ])urely .American yacht not only revived the Oriental splendor of her distinguislied namesake, but throu^li a fasci- nating^ career of romance brouglit into closer contact ancient I^g\'l)t and tlie New World. Cleopatra s Bai'ge, built nearly thirty years before the organization of the first }'acht club in the L'nited States — tlie New ^'ork \'aclit Club, formed in i844--within a ])eriod often \-ears created a most da/zling existence, and in a manner sadl\' dramatic ended her career. A brife recital of the enchanting storx' of Cleopatra s luirt^e ma\' be given. in the \ear icSiT), C'aj)tain (ieorge Crownin- siiield. a wealth\- mere hant of Salem, Mas.achu- setts, desiring to gratify his personal fancy, constructed a yacht expressly for pleasure. At that early day no rivals for speed existed, and the foremost consideration was comfort. So lavishly did Captain Crowninshield bestow money upon his favorite undertaking, that when completed it was a marvel of luxury, a rival in richness of that famous yacht built eighteen centuries before by the skilled artisans of Egypt to gratify the extravagant wishes of their illus- trious queen — Cleopatra. In construction this American pleasure yacht was the finest specimen of American marine architecture of her time, and the furnishings both rich and elaborate. The beauty of the paneled interior was heightened by the handsome adorn- ments of rare silk curtains, sumptuous couches, damask covered divans, costly furniture and plate. In fact, nothing appealing to the refined taste of her owner was too expensive for this American yacht. Great, indeed, was the curiosity to see the Crowninshield yacht, whose fame had become widespread. With generous impulse the owner, before starting on his eventful voyage, opened the \aclU to xisitors. It is said that in one d.i}' it was \ isitc'd by twenty-six hundred j)cis()ns. and tor scNcral da\s thcrealtei' tluTc was a dailx' averai^c of nine hundred. Tc^ I^uropeans also, tliis .American \ acht was a marvel, for nothinu^ to ecjual it then existed The tame it attained abroad was e\'en i^reater than that at home. Cleopatra s Barge, with Captain Crowninshield and in\'ited i^uests, left Salem harbor March 30th, 1 S I 7, for a \'o\'ac^e to luirope. Ihe \'acht stopped en route at the islands of r\a\'al and Maderia. lanL^ier, Gibraltar, Malaga, Carthei^enia, l^ar- celona, Marsailles and man\' Italian ports were also \'isited. Prox^ded with numerous letters of introduction the party met man)' important and distinguished personages, l^efore turning homeward, Captain Crowninshield journeyed to Rome wliere he remained man\' da\'s, being entertained b\' the Cardinal, Napoleon's mother, and others of the l"^onaparte family. With a devoted love for wachting, Captain Crowninshield possessed the true (jualities of a \achtsman,an(l beliex ing in the abilitx' of his \-acht he rejoiced in an occasional chance to test it. On the home voyage, the frigate United States, then the fastest ship in the American navy, carry- ing four hundred men, was sighted. Orders were given to prepare for a '' brush." Cleopatra' s Barge was properly trimmed and all sail set for the work. The commander of the frigate ob- serving the manoeuver set about to meet the challenge. Both were '' on their mettle ; " the distance separating them was constantly lessened, the yacht passing the frigate much to the joy of its owner. At another time, in a spirited encounter with a famous Baltimore clipper, the General Jackson, noted for her speed, the yacht was again the victor. After a cruise lasting more than six months, Cleopatra' s Barge returned to her home port, commencing a new career in the unsentimental rank of a merchantman. The celebrity of the yacht, however, soon re- leased it from the doleful drudgery of such an ordinary position. Her fame had spread far enough to come to the notice of the King of the Sandwich Islands. King Kamehameha, by purchase, secured the yacht for his own use ; thus the Yankee Cleo- /"(Urd's /^ffrt^r L;.iiiU'(l I'xcii ;i closer idcnlitx w itli the \cirhl ot 1\l;>1>1 > (juccn 1)\- IxHominL: the Har^c of State of true r»)\ah\'.

America typifyini;" a great nation is the sxni- bol of progressive historx', commencing with the achievement in the \'ear 1492 of that great hero and bold navigator Christopher Columbus in his discover}^ of a new world. Hie A.MKKICA without the romance attached to the first American yacht, assisted in the dcstin\^ of the countr\- b\- contributing ])racti- cal service. The \'acht America in an honorable contest exhibited the superior skill and ex])ertness of Americans in ship building and seamanship, which are the chief attributes of a countr\''s power, demonstrating thereby the growth and strength of the great nation. Are the boundaries of success of the Amer- ican yacht now in view^ ? Did we hesitate, or admit that the possibiHties of improvement were beyond reach, it would be a frank admission of readiness to yield to the irresistible progress of our rivals. On the contrary, that we are not able, and for the present not fully prepared with the acquired ability to surpass all former accomplishments is an idea, remote, in the mind of the American yachtsman. The intellectual skill of the American yacht designer is acutely sharpened for all present requirements, imparting assured safety of the nation's lustrous fame so far as he is concerned. A keen watch however is required for time to come. Science contributing so generously to the past must be called upon for greater help in the future. A shining vision of the American mind is that the slumbering genius of the future is silently gathering his forces and will at the opportune time be prepared to demonstrate his compre- hensive efficiency.
