The timely article on the ownership of the America's Cup which we 

 publish this week presents a view which will be new to many, but 

 which is in all probability the correct one. The writer, Mr. Jarvis, is 

 an old yachtsman and a lawyer by profession, though better known 

 as a writer on yachting subjects. The question of its legal rights as 

 the temporary holder of the cup is one that has always been treated 

 very lightly by the New York Y. C. ; the first change of the condi- 

 tions, in 1882, was made in the face of the opinion of an eminent 

 lawyer that the club had no power to alter the conditions of the 

 original trust, but as this action of the club received the tacit en- 

 dorsement of yacht clubs at large in challenging under the new con- 

 ditions of the second deed, the question of the legal right to make 

 still another change was hardly considered at all in If our cor- 



respondent is correct it should be a very easy matter for the New 

 York Y. C. to declare the new deed null and void and to recognize 

 only the original terms of the trust. As we go to press a rumor is 

 current to the effect that a new challenge from the Royal Yacht 

 Squadron is now in New York, to be delivered if the new deed of gift 

 lie rescinded by the club. 



The Boston Herald quotes a portion of our remarks concerning 

 designers and dimensions as applying exclusively to British designers, 

 and calls attention to the fact that the dimensions of the American 

 yachts are pubUshed in the various club books. As a matter of fact, 

 there is little to choose between the two nations, soaped windows 

 locked doors and "cooked" dimersions are quite as well known about 

 New York and Boston as on the Clyde and Solent: and if more news 

 is published on thi.s side, it is due to the push and enterprise of Ameri- 

 can newsjiaper men rather Chan the desii'e of American designers to 

 impart information. It is true that certain dimensions appear in the 

 club books, but so many are plainly incorrect that they are all unre- 

 liable. The ofBcial measurements of length, sail area and rating of 

 all British racing yachts are published through the season; and that 

 the corresponding measurements, waterline and sail area, are usually 

 known in this country is due solely to the courtesy of the club 

 measurers, as they are not officially published. 



The America's Cup. 



THE CLTTTrN& OP THE GORDIA}? KNOT. 



At the late meeting of the Yacht Racing Association of England, 

 which was called to consider the advisability of permitting the use 

 of wtiihted cenierboards, the celebrated yacht designer G-. L, Wat- 

 Fon, alter tipeaking of ttie speed which might be developed by the in- 

 novatioD. and its influence on international yacht racing, went on to 

 say: "This part of tbe question, however, in the present state of 

 matters connected with the America's Cup, is not pressing. Now, 

 this meeting of the Y. R. A. was attended by the taio^t prominent and 

 influential yachtsmen from all parts of the United Kingdom ; and 

 knowing how careful Enghsh artisans are ro retain the good will of 

 their patron.s, it is clear that Mr. Wa.tson wasaware that he voiced tbe 

 unanimous sentiment of the delegates from all tbe clubs which were 

 there represented. And the incident indicates tbis^and it is openly 

 st-ated in England— that no .yacht club in either England, Seo'land 

 or Ireland will by any further challenge agree to the terms of the 

 last deed of gift of this cup to the New York Y. O. 



This means that the supreme interests and excitement of interna- 

 tional yachting contests are apparently at an end until, as Mr. Dixon 

 Kemp cheerfully suggests, "the present committees of yacht clubs 

 die bif, when po.s.sit)]y theu- successors may wish ro challenge atrain." 



Of course everybody is aware that the cau.se for the present dead- 

 lock is the conditions in the last deed of gift, In particular that which 

 calls upon the challenger for the Cup to furnish a statement of the 

 rig, the load waterline length and beam, the extreme beam and also 



the draft of the challenging vessel, together with ten months' notice 

 of challenge. It is not the intention of this article to express the 

 smallest opinion as to whether Che Ena^lish are justified In objecting 

 to this last couditiou or whether the N. Y. Y. C. were right in seek- 

 ing to attach this condiiion to the Cup. I deal with the matter in a 

 different w,ay. On this side of the wa'ftr it is claimed that informa- 

 tion as to length, breadth and depth of a yacht pive hut very littie 

 idea of what her sailing qualities may be. .But as an Englishman 

 said to me last week, "We know that these dimensions do not tell 

 everything, but they tell more than you have a right to ask. Under 

 the original deed to the club we could race on a six months' notice 

 after supplying length, rig and Cu.stotn house tonnaee; and we have 

 a right to put our tonnage into any shape we hke. If we manaa;e to 

 whittle out a model more speedy than any yet known, we have a 

 right to win on it without disclosing any hint as to its shape." 



W^hether or not there be any ti-utb in this, there Is no question 

 about one fact, that the Cup has been "deeded off the course as far 

 as sport is concerned. 



It was stated not long ago in a New York paper that "when Mr. 

 William Henn, owner of the Galatea, was here last winter be was 

 given to understand by members of the New York Yacht Club that 

 the dimension clause could and would be waived." And the article 

 continues. "But in England this generosity does not have much 

 effect " As to tbis it may be said that the Royal Yacht Squadron, in 

 whose name tbe Earl of Dunraven (*allenged in 1S89, and whiab re- 

 fused to recognize the deed, would not probahlv consent to he 

 allowed through "eenerosity" to compete in a matter where its own 

 rights as one of the many beneflciaries under tbe original trust gift 

 are flj-mly established. 



WbUe carelully avoiding any expression of opinion about this 

 clause, the ground 1 take and what I propose to show is this: That 

 out of the three conveyances of the Cup to the club the last two are 

 void : that the only trusteeship the club possesses in this Cupis under 

 the flrst trtist gift; and that the only conditions under whichit can be 

 held are those therein set out. 



The owners of the yacht America, which in 1851 , at Co wes. England , 

 won the Cup at the roeaita of the Royal Yacht Squadron, were 

 Messrs. J, C. Stevens, .1. B. Finley, Hamilton Weeks, Edwin A. 

 Stevens and George L. Schuyler. Apparently the cup came to them 

 as their own property and not as a cliallenge Cup; and in .July, 1857, 

 It was conveye 1 by all the owners of it to the New York Yacht Club, 

 in trust to carry out the following conditions: 



"Any organized yacht club of any foreign country shall always be 

 entitled, through any one or more or its members, to claim the right 

 of sailing a match for this Cup, with any .vacht or other vessel, of not 

 less than thirty or more than three hundred tons, measured by the 

 Custom House rule of the country to which the vessel belongs. 



"The parties desiring to sail for" the Cup may make any match with 

 the yacht club in possession of the same that may be determined 

 upon by mutual consent; but in case of a cUsagreenient as to terms, 

 the match shall be sailed over the usual course for the annual regatta 

 of the yacht club in possession of the Cup, and subject to rules and 

 sailing regulations; the challenging party being bound to give six 

 months' notice in writing, fixing the day they wish to start— this 

 notice to embrace the length. Custom House measurement, rig and 

 name of the vessel. 



"It is to be distinctly understood that the Cup is to be the property 

 of the club, and not of the members thereof, or owners of the vessel 

 winning it in a match, and that the condition of keeping it open to be 

 sailed for by yacht clubs of all foreign countries, r.pon the terms 

 above laid down, shall forever attach to it, thus making it perpetu- 

 ally a challenge cup for friendly competition between foreign 

 countries." 



In this convej'ance the owners of the America parted absolutely 

 and forever with the whole of their right, title and interestin the Cup, 

 and it is clear that not until ownership in the same was legally con- 

 veyed back to them could they, or any of them, make any further 

 conveyance of the slightest validity. There was in the original trust 

 gift no reservation, condition or proviso by which the Cup could in 

 any event revert to the grantors of 1857. 



Subsequently, in 1882, it was thought desirable to alter the condi- 

 tioiis regarding the trusteeship of the Cup. As they have been 

 superseded, it is not necce.ssary for this article to quote the altera- 

 tions supposed to be made at this time. In the notice of same 

 printed tor distribution among foreign clubs, the secretary of the 

 N. Y. Y. C. states that the Cup "having been returned to Mx. G. L. 

 Schuyler, the only surviving donor, has been re-presented to theNew 

 York Y. C. subject to the conditions expressed in the folio wing letter." 

 Then follows the letter, signed by Mr. Schuyler, dated Jan. 4, 1882. 

 which, I am informed, is the only writing supposed to be a convey- 

 ance which deals with this alleged transfer; but which, however, 

 contains no words of transfer or assignment; merely saying that the 

 Cup is again "offered" to the club on the conditions and for the 

 tiniats as therein stated. 



Then, after the Tliistle's contests with the Volunteer, it was again 

 thought desirable to alter the trusts and conditions under which any 

 club entitled to the possession of the Cup should hold it. Aud this 



ing uses and purposes": 



"Tne Cup is donated upon the condition that it shall be preserved 

 as a perpetual challenge cup for friendly competition between foreign 

 countries. 



"Any organized yacht club of a foreism country, incorporated, 

 patented or licensed by the Legislature, Admiralty or other execu- 

 tive department, having for its annua! regatta an ocean water course 

 on the sea, or an arm of the sea, or one which combines both, shall 

 always be entitled to the right of sailing a match for this Cup, with 

 a yacht or vessel propelled by sails only and constructed in the coun- 

 try to which the challenging clubs belong, against any one yacht or 

 vessel constructed in the country of the club holding the Cup. 

 ****** 



"Should the club holding the Cup be for any cause dissolved, the 

 Cup shall be transferred to some club of the same nationality, eligi- 

 ble to challenge under this deed of gift, in trust and subject to its 

 provisions. In the event of the failure of such transfer within three 

 months after such dissolution, said Cup shall revert to the pre- 

 ceding club fiolding the same, and under the terms of this deed of 

 gift. It is distinctly under.stooa that the Cup is to be the property of 

 the club subject to the provi.sions of this deed, and not the properly 

 of the owner or owners of any vessel winning a match.'' 



Now, the grounds I take are as follows: Firstly— If the reader re- 

 peruses the conditions of the first conveyance' of 1857 he will see 

 that "it is distinctly understood that the Cup is to be the property of" 

 any club whose representative yacht shall win it; and also "that the 

 condition of keeping it open to be sailed for by yacht clubs of all 

 fojeign countries shall forever attach to it, thiis making it per- 

 petually a challenge cup for friend^'- competition between foreign 

 countries." Here it will be seen that a distinct trust was created in 

 favor of all yacht clubs whose representative yachts should either 

 compete for or win the Cup; that the Cup should. be "the property" 

 (in trust, of course) of sucb clubs, "which shall always be entitled 

 * * * to Claim the right of sailing a match for this Cup;" and that 

 the only ways in which the New York or any other yach t club could 

 deal with the Cup were to observe the conditions wnich should for- 

 ever attach to it, keep it perpetually open to challenge, and hand it 

 over to the club whose yacbt shotdd win. 



In the face of this unmistakably clear language in the creation of 

 the trust, what did the officers of the New York Y. C. do? They 

 twice handed the Cup over (as is said) to a man who legally had 

 nothing; to do with it, and on each occasion took back alleged con- 

 veyances from a man who had nothing to convey, because nothing 

 had been conveyed to him. Mr. Schuyler, together with the other 

 owners, parted forever with all their title in the Cup in creating a 

 trust in favor of certain institutions. The important benefits passing 

 to the beneflciaries under this trust gift immediately attached as of 

 right to all of them, and could not be revoked or altered by arrange- 

 ments between Mr. Schuyler and the present and merely temporary 

 trustees. Mr. Schuyler's former intimacy with the matter, as one of 

 the donors, seems to have blinded everybody's eyes to the fact that 

 after the flrst conveyance he was, legally, a complete stranger to the 

 Cup ; and also that the trusts and conditions flrst made cannot be 

 interfered with. 



Stirely it must be clear to all that the N. Y. Y. C. could not possibly 

 convey to Mr. Schuyler an owership in the Cup which it did not itself 

 jMissess, and that consequently his alleged conveyances to the club 

 should never have been made. The New Yorir Yacht Club is a con- 

 duit pipe to lead the Cup to another conduit- pipe which will lead it 

 to another; and so on into the future. Even if Mr. Schuyler had 

 actually paid the full hundred guineas for a conveyance to him from 

 tue club be could gain no particle of ownership in the Cup, as against 

 the beneflciaries, and he took tbe same with full notice of the trusts 

 attaching to it. 



As a second ground, it may be as well to remark that in the secre- 

 tary's notices to the foreign clubs of both the alleged conveyances 

 he merely states that the cup was "returned'' to Mr. Schuyler. There 

 may be a ' retm-n" or "handing over" which by no means amounts 

 to a re-conveyance; and It is suggested that although Mr. Schuyler 

 acknowledged the return of the cup to him, and even supposing the 

 chib had power to re-convey to him, there was, in one case at least, 

 no dealing with the cup which amounted to a legal reconveyance. 

 This point, however, is of comparatively small importance. 



If, then, the club had no power to re-convey, or "if. as suggested in 

 the last paragraph, it did not re convey, where did Mr. Schuyler' re- 

 ceive his ability to make, tljis so-called deeds now in. question? If 



anyone could be so absurd as to claim that any property in the Cup 

 remained m him after the flrst conveyance to the club made by all 

 the original donors, this would be to admit that the legal representa- 

 tives of the four other deceased donors were now entitled to a four- 

 fifths share of the same remnants of ownership as his. A member 

 of the club suggested to the writer that perhaps these legal repre- 

 sentatives ought to have been also dealt with in the iransacti"ns 

 with Mr. Schuyler. This is a mistaken idea which many posses,s. 

 These representatives and Mr. Setiuyler were at the time of the last 

 transactions total strangers to the Cup. legally speaking, who never 

 by any imaginable means, except perhaps an act of Congress, could 

 hold ownership again. 



The writer states that this article will be understood to he written 

 in no .spirit of hostility to the N. Y. Y. C. ; the only object of it is to 

 indicatetheway to cutthe Gordian knot on strictly legal grounds, 

 so that international contests may re-commence. And, if the above 

 mentioned intimation to Lieut. Henn was in anv way official, there 

 is reason to believe that if the matter could have been done legally, 

 the club would long ago have willingly expunged the clause which 

 inadvertently gave offence in foreign quarters, If the same incliiia- 

 ( ion still exists, it is a simple matter to take the advice of counsel 

 for the club and ascertain that the views here expressed are the only 

 legal views that can be held. When the club is thus satisfied that 

 tbe last conveyance or conveyances can never be altered or renewed 

 and that they never had any legal existence, then a pubhc procla- 

 mation of intention to stand solely on the terms and trusts of tbe flrst 

 conveyance wifl be in order. 



It will be seen that the terms of the original trust gift were very 

 poorly thought out, and that it allowed any club in possession of the 

 Cup to make any rules it pleased, adopt any unfair system of meas- 

 urement for taxation, and arrange a club course tha,t might be 

 utterly unfair to a foreign vessel. But it is. as I submit, all we have 

 to go upon, and it certainly nrovides unhmibed scopa for amicable 

 arrangement on any point. The vagueness of it illustrates the pro- 

 priety tbe N. Y. Y. C. members felt in endeavoring to render per- 

 manent such conditions as would make all round fairness coropul- 

 sary upon any club which might in future hold the Cup; and they 

 succeeded in making some rules and conditions which, if not legal, 

 were satisfactory lo everybody. The fact that they succeeded as 

 well as they did shows that their desire for fairness was of a higher 

 grade than the legal talent which advised the making of these two 

 last deeds. Yachtsmen will consider that much of the care which 

 has been expended in guarding against unfairness of foreign clubs, 

 which might in future hold the Cup, may safely be dispensed with. 

 Tbe ethics of amateur sport are well understood. 



When the two alleged conveyances from Mr. Schuyler are can 

 celled then tbe club, in reverting to the terms of the original trust 

 gift and the six months notice of challenge, can simply propose for 

 amicable settlement each of those conditions of the new deed which 

 have been generally approved of. The proposals, when agreed to, 

 will no doubt be retained and utilized by any club which may here- 

 after hold the Cup. No club winning the trophy uader these agreed 

 conditions could dare to alter them except for some unforeseen and 

 perfectly fair reason. 



If the N. Y. Y . C, through adoption of the views and methods here 

 indicated, places the Cup once more in competition, then the Ameri- 

 can yachtsmen on the upper lakes will have a chanc to compete in 

 England if the Cup should cross the water. At present they a.nd all 

 yacht clubs on the great lakes are shut out because theii: annual 

 regatta course is not "an ocean water course on the sea, or on an 

 arm of the sea." 



Tbe New York Y, C. can experience no loss of dignity in reth-ing 

 from a position which its present lawyers will doubtless advise to be 

 untenable. There will be no altering or withdrawing of any partic- 

 ular stumbling block clause when the whole of tbe two alleged con- 

 veyances can be seen to be the result of a long mistake in which the 

 best motives were so poorly assisted by legal advice. 



The incompleteness of the terms of the original deed virtually be- 

 queathed the America's Cup to tne honor of succeeding generations 

 of amateur yachtsmen. It comes to us with some of the vagueness 

 with which tbe world comes to us in the Genesis record ; but as with 

 the world and the America's Cup, and all things which are given us 

 under unalterable conditions, we must in every case "make the best 

 of it" and endeavor to fulfill tbe trusts thus created. Indeed it seems 

 not only a safe but also a becoming thing that the greatest spertine 

 trophy the world has ever known should in this vague way be left 

 entirely to the sense of fairness of gentlemen; and Ifeefthatthe 

 New- York Y. C. could do much to permanently estabiish highest 

 standards of honor by trusting these standards of honor to the 

 fullest extent. Stinson Jarvis.

ATLANTIC OITT, JI. J. 



Thw first catboat race of the season was sailed under the most 

 favorable circumstances, clear ."=ky, stiff easterly breeze and a heavy 

 sea. The course laid out was from the Inlet pavilion out the souta 

 channel across the bar, thence to the Brigantine Shoal Whistling 

 15uoy (due east), thence to a .stakeboat off Young's pier and around 

 stakeboat off the North Bar, thence in over the bar lo finish, a dis- 

 tance of 20 miles. The boats entered were:

Sayonara allows Carrie Im. 30s. over the course, which with the 

 ICs start makes a tie. 



Prom flrst to last the race was desperately fought out between tbe 

 old champion (Carrie) and the new boat (Sayonara). whde tbe heavy 

 seas end stiff breeze added greatly to the excitement. It was a 

 serious chance to face the breakers on the bar, but all the boats suc- 

 ceeded in running the gauntlet, but not without shipping some heavy 

 seas. Linda caught one which so nearly filled her that she was 

 obhged to withdraw from the race; the others were more fortunate, 

 and allhouab all suffered more or less succeeded in getting through 

 safely and in fine trim. On the thrash to windward, while the wind 

 was blowing strong, Sayonara did some splendid work, leaving Car- 

 rie raiMdly, uutQ put about on the port tack, having- gained at least. 

 2m.; tiut the wind became fltfid and with many holes in it, and 

 Sayonara found those boles to ber deti'imont. 



Carrie gradually overtook her and rounded the Whistling Buoy 

 10s. ahead in floe style. With booms athwartship, the yacht soon 

 changed position again, Sayonara once more gaining the lead and 

 keeping it, not only to the lower stakeboat hut to the finish. The 

 rest of the racers did good work, taut Stella was badly handicapped 

 by a bad fitting sail and the unfortunate neglect or forgeifulness of 

 her captain to see that bis board was sufficiently down to enable her 

 to do her best; in point of fact, be did not attend to it until he had 

 sailed three-fourths of the race, from which time he began to show 

 that his boat had the ability to speed that the others claimed. 



The recros«lBg of the bar, witn a following wind, was suflBcient 

 excitement for two ordinary races considerd as one: the breakers 

 were formidable and evidently bent upon swamping all that dared 

 to encroach upon the circumscribed domain. 



The race resulted in £, tie between Sayoiaara and Carrie for flrst 

 place, both having sailed over the course in exactly the same time 

 to a second; the regatta committee decided that there was no race 

 and that a resail should take pUce on June 29.
