SECOND OF AMERICA’S
CUP RACES IS NOW ON
(Continued from Page One)
The fastest time ever made in a race
for the America’s cup is credited to
the old schooner Columbia. On Octo
ber 18, 1871, the day before she was
defeated by Livonia, she sailed 20
miles leeward and windward, 40 miles
in all, in 3 hours, 1 minute and 33 sec
onds. It must not be inferred, how
ever, that the Columbia was the fast
est yacht that ever sailed for the cup.
There is no method of determining the
relative speed of two or more boats
other than by the results of a race in
which they sail together. When the
Columbia made the fast time referred
to undoubtedly the conditions of wind,
weather and sea were most favorable.
The fastest time ever made on a
15-mile course straight away and re
turn, 30 miles in all, is credited to
the defender Vigilant. In a race on
October 13, 1893, she covered the
course in 3 hours, 24 minutes and 29
seconds.
The fastest time in a triangular race
for the cup was made by Columbia on
October 3, 1891, the time for the dis
tance, 30 miles, being 3:30:18.
In the first three contests for the
cup the challenging boats were
schooners and the defenders for the
second and third also were schooners.
In all other contests, however, the
yachts have been sloops or cutters.
The smallest challenger in the his
tory of the cup races was the Atlanta,
built at Vellville, Ontario, Canada, in
1881. She measured 64 feet on the
water line and was the first sloop to
appear in a contest.
The first yacht built especially to
defend the trophy was the Pocahontas,
in 1881. Prior that year the New York
Yacht Club had selected from its fleet
the yacht considered to be best suited
for the purpose. The Pocahontas did
not come up to expectations tnd was
rejected in favor of the Mischief, one
of the finest sloops of the fleet. Since
that year, however, new defenders
have been built for every contest.
There were two candidates for the
honor of defending the cup in 1885,
two in 1886 and four in 1893, and in
every contest excepting one since the
race between Atlanta and Mischief,
the cup has been defended by a yacht
built for that particular race. The one
exception was in 1901, when the Con
stitution, built for the race of that
year, was discarded in favor of the
Columbia, which successfully defended
the trophy in 1899.
TEACHERS TELL j
OF TRIP THRU
THE INTERIOR
The freighter Cordova, which dock
ed here last Saturday, had on board
two school teachers from Dawson, Y.
T.,—Miss Buck and Miss Burns, of
Alberta, Canada—who were spending
their vacation taking a trip down the
Yukon. They left Dawson June 17, on
the steamer Reliance, and sailed down
the “Great River” as far as the
Tanana, where they changed boats
and proceeded with their trip on a
small gas boat, the Kotlik. So
crowded was this craft that the girls
had to sleep curled up among the
mail sacks on the deck.
“It has been a most wonderful
trip,” said Miss Buck. “The scenery
of the upper Yukon is indescribably
beautiful. It seems to be the general
impression that the trip along the
lower Yukon is monotonous and un
interesting, with nothing to look at
except mud flats. We have not fofund
it so. The shores are lovely with
wild roses, buttercups and many other
flowers. We had an opportunity to
visit the mission at Holy Cross, and
found it very interesting. There were
125 children cared for there. Two were
Laplanders. You ought to see what
a wonderful garden they have! The
older boys tend it, and it furnishes
all the vegetables they need. The
children speak surprisingly good Eng
lish. The Russian church at Andre
afsky was interesting too.
“The Kotlik sprang a leak, so at
the mouth of the Yukon we changed
boats again, this time to a tiny
launch, pretentiously named the ‘War
rior.’
She took us on to St. Michael. There
was more to St. Michael than we
thought. Several houses, a ware
house and wharf. There we had to
wait till the Cordova, which, along
with the Victoria anct the Ketchikan,
had been ice-bound several days in the
Nome road-stead, had made their way
in to Nome, unloaded and come over
to St. Michael. We boarded the Cor
dova, sailed south past the Pribilof
Islands, where the seals congregate
on through Unimak Pass, and here we
are. We went down town this morn
ing. It seems to be quite a town you
have here, from what I could see of
it for the fog.
“We were on the Yukon on the
twenty-first of June, the longest day
of the year, and watched the mid
night sun rest for about five minutes
on the horizon and then rise again.
“Sometimes in the course of our
trip we would stop at some rude camp
along the shore for something to eat.
I remember stopping at one place
where a squaw-man lived, and as a
special delicacy we were given boiled
fish-heads. Ugh! We saw igloos now
and then, that looked to us like
wash-basins turned upside down. To
get in we had to drop down on hands
and knees.
“What do you think? At one little
village we found Ave. could get sugar
for fifteen cents a pound! That just
shows how far from civilization we
were! I understand it costs thirty or
thereabouts here, and Avhen we left
Dawson it was selling at thirty-five.
“Dawson is not so dead as some of
! the Alaskan towns. There is still a
|
! great deal of gold there, and tAvo big
dredge companies have been at work
this season.
“I understand Ave are to take on
I copper ore here, and salmon. Dig
■ bales of hides Avere brought on boai’d
! at Nome. They looked like cow-hides,
I but as coavs didn’t seem to be Arery
plentiful there, I suppose they were
1 reindeer hides.”
