FOREST AND STREAM. 



[July 3l, 1893. 



question whether the New York Y. 0. ever has done such a thing. 

 In the same heedless manner they have bi-ougtit up another subject 

 which will not staid a strict scrutiny, in the recent attempts to be- 

 little the number and character of theii- opponents. 



Their statements that all opposition to the new deed is confined to 

 a few malcontents who in no way represent the New York Y. C. 

 naturally suggests the question of how fully does the new deed rep- 

 resent the real sentiaient of this large club. The new deed was the 

 work of less than a dozen men : the whole matter of returning the 

 cup to Mr. Schuyler and accepting it back was arranged by a small 

 aiid select party; it was nominally submitted to the club at a special 

 meeting, at which few members and still fewer voters were present; 

 ajid the actual work of drafting the new deed was done a little later 

 by a committee of six, aided by the club secretary. Only the 

 xainutes of the meeting of Oct. 4 will show the exact number 

 present and voting, but it is not likely that over 15 members, out of 

 a total of some 700, actually voted on the question of returning and 

 re^accepting the cup. 



8o far as the club at large is concerned, all knowledge of the 

 terms of the new deed was kept from the members until long after 

 the document had been finally adopted; and the yacht owners of the 

 New York Y. C, the voting members, have never yet bad en oppor- 

 tunity to vote on the acceptance or rejection of the work done in 

 their name by a paternal board of officers. As the new deed stands 

 it represents the ideas of about a dozen men out of a club of 700 to 

 800, many, if not a majority, of the larger number condemning it 

 openly. - 



The America Gup. 



A STRONG effort is being made by the supporters of the new deed 

 of gift and by several newspapers, the Boston Herald and New York 

 Becorder in particular, to ridicule and belittle the growing opposi- 

 tion, as the work of a few malcontents whose sympathies are enrirelv 

 English. So far from this being the case, tliose most interested in 

 the matter- and there are too inany of them, both within and with- 

 out the club, to be hindi^red by such misrepresentation— are one and 

 all American yachtsmen who feel that the national reputation has 

 been seriously compromised in the blundering efifott to retam at any 

 cost the possession of a piece of silver whose wbole value disappears 

 the instant that any suspicion of unfairness attaches to the condi- 

 tions under which it is held. It has taken nearly lave years for the 

 general yachting public and press to see the question in a fair and 

 unprejudiced Ught, looking at its technical points rather than at the 

 political ones, but that the subject is pretty well understood is proved 

 by the current talk among yachtsmen, and by such extracts as the 

 following from various American papers. 



The New York Tiines of July 10 handled the matter in a very able 

 editorial, too long for us to reprint in full. Speaking of the new 

 deed it said: "It seems a pity that this matter has to be discussed 

 anew, for all unprejudiced persons are bound to see that the small 

 and obstinate element in the New York Y. C. which insists on the 

 preservation of the clause as it stands in the deed of Oct 28, 1887, is 

 an obstacle in the way of international sport. This element is fond 

 of proclaiming its belief that, because all the donors of the famous 

 cup have passed over to the majority, the club must not venttu-e to 

 tamper with the wishes of the last of them, Mr. George L. Schuyler, 

 which are embodied in the present deed. 



"As for the deference which must, according to certain luminaries 

 in the New York Y. C- , be paid to the wishes of Mr. Schuyler, a few 

 words may be said. It is impljing tha.t he, who was one of the most 

 thoroughly sportsmanlike yachtsmen that ever trod a quarterdeck, 

 was lacking in ever' instinct that goes toward the encouragement of 

 sport to insinuate that he delibei-ately constructed the new deed of 

 gjft with the purpose of putting an end to international vachtiQg. If 

 he did not do it for that purpose, then toe club has a right to 

 treat that deed as Mr. Schuyler would treat it were he a'ive; and 

 it is beyond doubt that were he alive he would rather modify the di 

 mension clause than see the death of the America's Cup contesis. 



"But if the club thinks that Mr. Schuyler's deed must be respected 

 because he is dead, it takes a still more untenable ground, for all the 

 other donors of the Cup are quite as dead as the gentleman just 

 named, and there were more of them than of him. It is not from 

 any disposition to treat thi"! matter with levity, but with a wish to 

 show the utter absurdity of the position of our yachtsmen that the 

 facts are thus treated. If respect for the dead is to be an element in 

 governing the action of the New York Y. C, it should go back to the 

 original deed and obe.v tne wishes of the majority." 



The Tribune comments as follows: "It is strange if the New York 

 Y. C , with the challenge for the America's Cup knocking at i's 

 doors, does not recede from the obstinate position whicli it has as- 

 sumed and maintained in the face of the yachting snutiment of the 

 civilized world. It seems as if the club must finally pay attention to 

 and act in accordance withsuch strong public sentiment, which never 

 yet existed without finally fulfilliDg the end for which it was striving. 

 Waiving for a moment every other consideration it must be admitted 

 that the deed of gift by which the America's Cup, the symbol of the 

 yachting sovereignty of the world, is held, should oe, like Oiesar's wife, 

 above suspicion. With the exception of a few men in the New York Y. 

 C, who unfortunately, from their social standing, their reputation as 

 yachtsmen and gentlernHn, are able to draw after them a following 

 which forms a wall of adamant, against whica the great waves of 

 popular sentiment have so far beaten m vaua, and of two or three 

 men in the Eastern Y. C, the whole yachting world and every man 

 who has a sportsman's instinct and a love of fair play, whether he be 

 a vacht man or not, is opposed to the present deed of gift. The 

 ch'allenge, which all Americans want, which wonl<l do so much for 

 yachting, is already here, and it' only remains for those few people, 

 who have so far successfully opposed their wishes to the wisues of 

 the great majority of people, to remove their opposition and we shall 

 see again one of Those great internaiional yacht races which have 

 done so much in the past, and, is Is to be hoped, wiil do so much in 

 the future, to improve the type of yachts, to increase the maritime 

 spirit of the world, and to foster among nations a generous rivalry 

 in matters pertaining to the sea and to the noble sport of yachting.'' 



As showing how general the feeling in favor of strict fair play is 

 among all classes, we quote the following extracts from various local 

 papers which usually interest themselves very little in yachting; 



"Etxglish yachtsmen, it is reported, have challenged the New York 

 Y. C. to sail another race for the America's Cup provided the deed 

 of gift is amended to meet with the approval of the Britishers. The 

 deed should be amended and another international race should be 

 run. We have beaten the Eughsh yachtsmen in every race since the 

 America won the Cup, and with Yankee ingenuity to design the 

 racers, the best workmen in the world to build and rig them and 

 American sailors to run them, there is no reason why we cannot 

 keen that Cup this side of the Atlantic."— C7u-07i7'fZe, Poitsville, Pa., 

 July a. 



"It looks as though nest year would witness another of those ex- 

 citing yacht contests for the America's Cup which stirred patriotic 

 America to her utmost depth* in the seasons of 1885, '86 and '87. 

 Since the latter date such races have been practically impossible be- 

 cause of the almost prohibitive terms of the present deed of gift 

 under which the New Y'ork \'. C. holds the famous Queen's Cup cap- 

 tured of the English yachtsmen by the American yacht America at 

 Cowes, on Aug. 2iJ, 1851. The Cup was given by the owners of the 

 America, J. C. Stevens, E. A. Stevens, Hamilton Wilkes, J. B. Finley 

 and George t-chuyler, to the New York Y''.,0 , to remain forever a 

 perpetual challenge to international competiiton. Ttie original con- 

 ditions required of would-be contestants were very simple. The New 

 York club accepted the cup on those terms and became the custo- 

 dian of it. In 1882 the club, desiring more stringent conditions with 

 respect to foreign competition, returned the cup to Mr. Schuyler, the 

 only survivor of the original givers, and he returned it with a new 

 dee"d of trust imnosing the desired conditions. Under those provis- 

 ions the races of the three years mentioned were sailed. The Eng- 

 lishmen were defeated on each occasion, yet after the Volunteer- 

 Thistle race of 1887 was sailed, the New York Y". C. secured a new 

 deed of gift in the same manner a.s before. This time the conditions 

 were made practically prohibitive. A large number of American 

 yachtsmen objected to this as manifestly unfair, and it is maintained 

 that Mr. Schuyler had no power to receive the Cup and return it wii;h 

 a new deed of trust. It is announced that a challenee has been sent 

 by an Englishman for a race for the Cup on condition that the re- 

 strictions be modified. This, it is believed, will be done, and that 

 next season there will be another series of races off Sandy Hook 

 seems probable. In view of the work done by the American yachts 

 in all former races for the cup, there seems to he no good reason 

 why the New Yorkers should be backward about letting the English- 

 men try again. They certa'mly ought not to res an to unfair and 

 unsportsmanhke means to prevent the old world yachtsmen from 

 winning back the cup they lost forty one years ago:"— Ro»ie (A. F.) 

 Sentinel, Julu 7. 



^'Since 1887, when America beat the English contestants for the 

 America Cup, yachting as a sport of general public interest has de- 

 clined Steadily. Recent contests iu Ne w York's lowev bay have been 



failures, and the annual race of the New York Y. C. attracted little 

 attention. 



"Another international regatta would no doubt revive interest in 

 one of the cleaue'^t and fairest of sports, but the English sho v no 

 disposition to enter upon another contest, Fol- this the New York Y 

 C IS responsible. * * * 



"Many yachtsmen, including a strong minority in the New Y'ork 

 Club Itself, acknowledge the injustice of tbp conditions, but a major- 

 ity of the yacht owners stand by it. Toerefore. the Cup is helu in 

 this countr.y, not by reason of superioritv. but because the terms by 

 which it is held are unfair. No contestant in any trial of skill or 

 ingenuity .should be forced to confess his strong and weak points to 

 his adversary before the cutest;. Every American must blush to 

 think that an organization representing, in a sense, the nation, should 

 seek to retain by unfair means an advantage fairly and honestly 

 won. It would be better to lose the Cup ihan to retain it en such 

 terms. '—Albany Evening Journal. July K. 



The Boston Olobe of July has a very conservative and impartial 

 statement of the case, in which tne matter of waiving the dimension 

 clause is presented with more emphasis than it deserves in an inter- 

 view with an anonymous defender of the new deed, but the article as 

 a whole i* very fair. 



The Field comments as follows: "The annua" announcements that 

 a challenge has been received by the New York Y". C. for the America 

 Cup have commenced rather early this season, and the one made 

 this week on the subject is shrouded in more than its usual quaint- 

 ne.ss. The statement that the New Y'ork Y. C. will not consfaer the 

 challenge until it has the opportunity to eliminate the objectionable 

 dimensions clause from the -New Deed of Gift' shows a superb sense 

 of magnaminiiy, if true: i«ut we are incluied to think that somebody 

 is poking fun at the New YVirk Y. C. At any rate, there is not the 

 slightest foundation for the statement that the Earl of Dunraven is 

 the challenger, and we very much question whether any British 

 yacht cluh could be found which would venture to back a challenge 

 under existing conditions." 



Vessels and Drawbridges. 



The following decision, for which we are indebted to the Ammcan 

 Shipbuilder, will be of interest to »1I yachtsmen whoareunfortunute 

 enough to cruise in the vicinity of drawbridges, especially the vachts- 

 men of Newark Bay. 



We have had little personal experience of the bridge in question 

 within thepa.st two years, but from a long experience prior to that 

 time we can'bear testimony to the difScultv of the passage, especi- 

 ally for a small yacht, owing to the strong tides, tne cross currents 

 anJ the breaking of the wind by the bridge itself, and also the total 

 disregard by the bridge tenders of all rights of small craft The 

 suggestion below, of a signal by which a saihng vessel might know 

 whether to stand off or to come for the draw, is a mo.st valuable one 

 No signal is now given, and when the draw is swung open the vessel 

 is expected to be ready to go through at once, although it is im- 

 possible for her to lie near at hand while waiting. We have a lively 

 recollection of one occasion on which, after waiting half an hour for 

 the draw to open, we were greeted with a round of profanity from 

 the bridge hands because of the necessary delay in beating up 



Brown, J, -On Nov. 15, 1891, at about ^-JiO A. M., the scow Senate 

 towed with a cargo of about 160 tons of brick, while proceeding up 

 Newark Bay in tow on a hawser from the tug Winnie bound for 

 Newark, in going through the westerly passage of the draw ot ihe 

 Central Railroad bridge, came iu contact with the chamfered end of 

 the central abutment. The bow of the scow was square on d^ck 

 but sloping beneath. In the contact with the pier a plank from' its 

 side was thrust through the bow of the boat below the waterline 

 about a foot inside of the sloping corner beam, which caused a leak 

 from which she sank soon after passing through the draw. ' 



The llbellants claim that this collision was not through any negli- 

 gence of the tug, but through the negligence of the defendants in 

 not opening the draw when signaled bv the tug, and iu compelhog 

 her to wait for a freight train, without giving her anv answering 

 signal to show their intention, thereby embarras.sing herein the hand- 

 hng of her tow, that through the cross set of the tide, collision re- 

 sulted without any fault on the part of the liDellants. The evidence 

 leaves no doubt that as respects the management of the tug the 

 signal given, and the trains passing, the account of the libellants is 

 more accurate than that of the re-pondents. The defendants' evi- 

 dence with regard to the passing of the trains will illustrate how 

 liitle reliance can be placed on the general recollection of persons 

 in regard to ordmary occurrences under their immediate observation 

 when their memory i^ not charged with the matter at the time Sev- 

 eral witnesses Irom the bridge testified most positivelv that no train 

 went past within a couple of hours before the tug and tow went 

 through, and that there was no detention or delay, whereas it subse- 

 quently appeared by incontrovertible evidence "that at least three 

 trams had passed svithin an hour, and one of them at about the same 

 time the tug captain stated. The undoubted fact^, therefore 

 are that the tug, pursuing the usual course to go through the 

 westerly passage of the draw, gave the usual signal of three whistle* 

 wuen about half a mile distant. No answering signal being received 

 the tug, after running dOO or 500ft.. gave a second signal, and aft^r 

 that saw a freight train coming from Singer's factory to the west- 

 ward about two miles off. The tug then stopped and drifted till the 

 train bad passed, when a third signal of three whistles was given 

 ana afterwards three more, after which the draw was seen to be 

 turumg off; whereupon the tug started up full speed in order to pass 

 her tow properly into shape for going into the passage: but then in 

 consequence of the waiting and drifting meantime and of the set of 

 tne tide, the starboard corner of the scow struck with a heavy blow 

 the sloping corner of the pier, some two or three feet from the anale 

 with the result above stated. ' 



It is not tne practice in the management of that draw to give any 

 answering signals to vessels desiring to go through. In the day time 

 vessels in passing are required to wait until they see the draw be- 

 ginning to open : in the night time a red light is exhibited when the 

 draw is closed, and a green light when it is off; and vessels do not 

 know whether the drawls opening or not until the green licht is 

 seen. ^ 



With a freight train two miles distant and a tug on a hawser com- 

 ing up with the tide not over 1,500 or S.OOOfc. away, the refusal to 

 open the draw m order to give a preference to so distant a train was 

 an unreasonable and unjustifiable obstruction of the tug and 'tow. 

 Its unreasonableness was incre-ised by the omission to give any sig- 

 nal, which left the tug in uncertainty what to do or what to expect. 

 The practice of the bridge to give no answering signal's, is one little 

 to be commended and is hable often to place, the bridge in the wron". 

 The draw is worked by steam, and answering signals, such as are 

 given upon other bridges, could bo given witnoiit difficulty. True 

 signals are not made a statutory duty. But the practical necessitv 

 of such signals is manifest, particularly wnere there is a cross set of 

 the tide, because wiihout them it is impossible' for the approaching 

 vessel to know with any certamty whether she can safelv contin le 

 on towards the draw, or whether she must stop and manceuvre for 

 delay. The embarrassment to a tug encumbered with a tow iipou a 

 hawser is still greater, and it is so evident, that I have no hesitaiion 

 in nolding that the omission ei her to open the draw wh-n the tug is 

 at a reasonable distance, or to give prompt notice bvsoaie practi- 

 cable answering signal if the drawca.nuat then be opened, is negli- 

 gence and misconduct; because it violates the rule that is obligatory 

 upon all persons charged with duties concerning navigation, to use 

 all reasonable and practicable means of avoiding collision and the 

 attendant losses of hfe or prpperty. Edgerton vs. the Mayor 37

Sippican Y. C, July 9, 



MARION, MASS.— BUZZARD'S BAY. 



The first race of the Sippican Y. C, an op?n sweepstakes for first, 

 .seoood. thira and fourth classes, was sailed on Saturday in a fresh 

 S.W. breeze. The courses were: 



T.^°^ J^""^* ^^'^ second classes from the judge's yacht, anchored ott 

 Hotel SiDpican, past Southeast Ledge Buoy No. 13 on starboard. Nye's 

 Ledges Buoy, Seal Rock Buoy on port, and return; 35 miles 



For third class was off Sherman's Wharf. Southeast Ledge, Cow 

 Bells Buoy. Seal Rock Buoy and return; 8 miles. 



Fourth class to a stakeboat oft" Plantin's Island, Seal Rock Buov 

 and return: 7 miles. 



The new Hiller boat, Flight, was the only entry tu the first class, 

 and the new .Tenney boat. Venture, was the only second class boat 

 so they sailed together. Flight, with her large sail, had all the wind 

 she wanted, and Venture, with her small sail did not; but Venture 

 did very well, considering, against the larger boat. 



In the third class was the best race of the day. There were two 

 new boats, Sippican, built by Holmes, and Vivian, by Huckios, and 

 the Cottage City crack, Natici, came to trv her luck with the Buz. 

 zard's Bay boats. Hermione crossed the line firet. followed by Sip- 

 pican, Phenomenon. Vailca, Vivian, Eina and Tycoon, in the" order 

 named. Sippican had too light a gaff and too short a masthead to 

 bold up her large sail, and could not do verv well to windward. After 

 all her triumphs m Boston Phenoniennn was near the tail end. Nalica 

 was passed by even the fourth class boats on the first leg, and she 

 continued on her way home without finishing. 



In the fourth class the old Edith met the champion Cat. Squall 

 was missed, for she could not be put in condition in time. Cat gained 

 about three minutes on the first leg, and Edith could not gain more 

 than a minute and a half on the run home. 



Worry had no competitor in the fifth class, and did not go over the 

 course.

MONUMENT BEACH — BUZZARD'S BAT. 



The l86th race. Buzzard's Bay championship, was sailed on July 

 16 at Monumpnt Beach. All the morning there was a three-reef 

 breeze blowing S.W. by S., and courses were fixed accordingly. 



Just as second class was starting wind fell light and in two minutes 

 was blowmg N.W. by W., giving the boats a free wind race The 

 courses for third and fourth classes were hastily changed ami third 

 class went off in a light air, but five minutes later when fourth class 

 went off, it was again blowing a strong double-reef breeze and 

 rapidly increasing. 



The result of this was a very rough race, the two seas running 

 across each other, the smaller classes having a long and tough beat 

 of it. 



Whisper started for a walkover in first class, but carried awa.y her 

 rudder off Wing's Neck. In second class Lestris led off. but was 

 soon passed by Gymnote, who is sailing very fa.st this year. Mist fol- 

 lowed but could not catch the leader. Mist carried a single racing 

 reef only and finally split the step of her mast and .started the plank- 

 •'ng. She had to give it up and was luf^kv to get home. 



Doris and Daisy only started in third class. Sippican was on hand 

 but carried away goose neck just before the start. 



In fourth class Fin put in an appearanct* and attracted much atten- 

 tion. She is just from fTerreshoft''s yard, rather higher than the 

 Boston flns and with rather more overhang in proportion. She 

 measures 28ft. and some inches on deck, Ifift. lOi^in. l.w 1 and 5ft 

 9i^in. beam. Kitten was ready, wishing to try the iflarion boats with 

 her new sail. Squall, Cat and Edith were on hand, but Oat had a 

 bad attack of stage fright when Fin appeared and refused to start. 



Fin got a vfry bad start. She was changing from second to first 

 reef and shifting jibs when gun was fired, and when she got off with 

 a five minute handicap, she had no jib set and mainsail was only half 

 hoisted. This, however, did not trouble her. She took the seas 

 easily, carried sail well and won handil.y. 



Squall was oversparred and gave it tip. Edith hung on till Kitten 

 had beaten her very badly ano then withdrew. Summary:
