i The New York Yacht olnb wn*
organized in 1844 at a meeting held
on board John C. Stevens’ schooner
tiimcrack, which lay at anchor oil
the Battery. On Aug. t ol that
year nine vessels Hying the pennant
of the new club cruised to the east
ward. That was the first New York
Yacht club cruise. The club’s first
race started in the Hudson off tho
clubhouse in the summer of 1845.
The course lay to the Sandy Hook
fight vessel and return. There were
eleven yachts entered. The first
annual regatta was held on June 6,
1849, the course being from Hobo
lien around the southwest spit snd
return. It was in 1851 that Com
modore Stevens and a number ol
Now York Yacht club members
formed a syndicate and built the i
•chooncr yacht America. Sho |
crossed the ocean and won the 10(T>!
ounce silver cup offered by Queen i
Victoria for a free for all race*!
around Ihe Isle of Wight. .]
X his is the famous America s cup(
the most famous trophv in • the
Tealm of sport. Concerning the
schooner tradition hands us down
• rather interesting story of ail in
cident in her career in England. 1
The boat was designed liv Georg*
Steers, then only thirty-one years
old, and he anil his brother built
her in Williaiu Hi.Brown’s yard at !
the foot of Hast. Twelfth street. !
Tiie Steers' brother* accompanied
her when she went;to England, and
as her fame grew she attracted an
increasing amount'of attention. On® t
■day the Marquis of Anglesca. a
veteran of Waterloo, made his way ;
aboard and asked to see the builder i
•of the boat. An officer suggested j
that he call Mr. Stevens.
“Who’s Mr. Stevens?”'asked the
visitor.
“He’s the owner of this vessel.” 1
“Did he invent her?”
“No, sirj”“
“Well, confound it,” roared the’
old nobleman, “I don’t care any- |
thing about the owner. I want to
eee the man vhb had brains enough .
to design her.”*'
George Staerfr- accordingly was
summoned,! and when theeveteran |
sawn “mere.boy” he sat down sud- |
denly on the cabin roof. Now, his
trousers were white duck and the 1
cabin had been freshly painted
green. The result may be imagined, i
Bubfthe mfirquis didn’t care.
“Hang the trousers,” he cried, 1
"ho long a» I’ve 6cen the genius who .
invented this boat!”
Thert-wan a report that the com
moddre did not like this overmuch, j
At all events the Steers brothers
did not 'remain with the boat, but
returned* home. They were on the
steamship Baltic cn route for New
York when 'the America won the
now classic cup.—New York Post.

MMmy Boxes.
Money boxes to encourage thrift
among the pennv wise are ancient j
and popular institutions. A dic
tionary of 1585 mentions "money
boxes of potter’s clay wherein boys
put their money to kcepe,” and
doubtless the thrifty child of all
ages had his money box of some sort
onanother. ; Of late years metal has i
come into use, but the writer has
recollections of an elaborate earth
enware thatched cottage, into which
the money was dropped through a
•lit’ in the roof, which only infinite
patience,.could hit again when' it
came-’ttf wriggling the money out.
As a lockup investment that cottage
was unequaled.—Glnsgow Herald.
