General Schuyler. 
In the death of General Philip Schuyler the 
New York Y. C. has lost one of its oldest mem¬ 
bers, and one prominent in the affairs of the 
club for many years. He was elected a mem¬ 
ber when the club house, which is now the Glen 
Cove station, was at the Elysian Fields, in 1858. 
In 1871 Gen.- Schuyler was appointed fleet captain 
by Commodore Bennett; he served during the 
same year, when the club entertained the Grand 
Duke Alexis, and also under Commodore S. 
Nicholson Kane. Later he was one of the mem¬ 
bers of the committee in charge of the trial 
races, which resulted in the Puritan-Genesta 
match. He had no office during the Mayflower- 
Galatea races, but showed much interest. Dur¬ 
ing the Thistle-Volunteer match he was a mem¬ 
ber of the cup committee, also during the first 
challenge by Lord Dunraven, with the first 
Valkyrie, and served on the committee which 
selected the Vigilant to race against Valkyrie II. 
By his death, a man has passed away who was 
full of action and who devoted much time and 
gave much help to those engaged in the races 
for the cup for so many years.
