The New York Yacht chili was
organized in 18 H nt a meeting held
on board John C. Stevens' schooner
Giincrac-k, which luy ui anchor off
the Battery. On Aug. t of that
year nine vessels flyiug the pennant
of the new club cruised to the ca»t
ward. That was the first New York
Yacht club cruise. The club’s first
race started in the Hudson off the
clubhouse in the summer of 18-15.
The course lay to the Sandy Hook
light vessol and return. There were
eleven yachts entered. The first
annual regatta was held ou June 6,
1819, the course being from Hobo
ken around Ihe southwest spit and
return. It was in 1851 that Com
modore Stevens and h number of
New York Yacht club members
formed a syndicate and built the
schooner yacht America. Sha
crossed the ocean and wou the 100
ounce silver cup offered by Queen
Victoria for a free for all race
around the Isle of Wight.
This is the famous America’s cup,
the most famous trophy in the
realm of sport. Concerning tha
schooner tradition hands us down
a rather interesting story of an in
cident in her career in England.
The boat was designed by Georgs
Steers, then only thirty-one years
old, and he and his brother buill
her in William II. Brown’s yard at
the foot of East Twelfth street.
The Steers brothers accompanied
her when she went to England, and
ns her fame grew she attracted an
increasing amount of attention. One
day the Marquis of Anglesea, a
veteran of Waterloo, made his way
aboard and asked to see the builder
of the boat. An officer suggested,
that ho call Mr. Stevens.
“Who’s Mr. Stevens?” asked the
visitor.
“He’s the owner of thin vessel.”
“Did ho invent her?”
"No sir.”
“Well, confonnd it," roared the
old Boblcinan, “1 don’t care any
thing about the owner. I want to
see the man who had brains enough
to design her.”
George Steers accordingly was
summoned, and when the veteran
saw a “mere boy” he sat down sud
denly on the cabin roof. Now, his
trouser* were white duck and the
cabin bad been freshly painted
green. The result may be imagined.
But the marquis didn’t rare.
“Hang the trousers,” lie cried,
“so long as I’tc seen the genius who
invented this boat!”
There was a report that the com
modore did not like this overmuch.
At all events the Steers brothers
did not remain with tbo boat, but
returned home. They wero on the
steamship Baltic en route for New
York when the America won the
now classic cup.—New York Post.
Money Boxes.
Money boxes to encourage thrift
among the penny wise are ancient
and popular institutions. A dic
tionary of 1585 mentions “money
boxes of potter’s clay wherein boys
put their money to keepc,’’ and
doubtless the thrifty child of all
agea had his money box of somo sort
or another. Of late years metal has
come into use, but the writer has
recollections of sn 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 to wriggling the money out.
As a lockup investment that cottags
was uncqualed.—Glasgow Herald.

11 —Tw Kinds of Men.
I think it ia Warburton whf
draws a very just distinction be
tween a man of true greatness and
a mediocrist. “If,” says he, “you
want to recommend yourself to the
former take cate that he quits your
society with a good opinion of you.
If your object is to please the latter
take care that he leaves you with a
good opinion of himself.”—Lacon.
