The Puritan and Genesta Race

The Puritan Fouls the English Yacht.

The Race Postponed,

New York, Sept 9.

As the yachts were about to start on the race yesterday, the Puritan fouled the Genesta, carrying away the latters bowsprit. The Puritan’s mainsail was torn. Both yachts were towed back to New York. The accident ended all prospects of a race for perhaps a week, although it is thought the Genesta may secure a bowsprit in time to race on Friday.

As soon as the Puritan could come alongside of the Judge’s boat, Mr. Forbes asked the committee if he should sail the race, “No, you won’t,” said Mr. James, courtly. After a meeting was held in the pilot house the committee’s boat went alongside of the disabled cutter.

**We have ruled the Puritan out,” said Mr. James, addressing Sir Richard Sutton, “and you may sail the raca if you wish.”

“‘We are much obliged,” replied Sir Richard, in a few moment, ‘‘but wa can’t doit. Wedon't wanta walk over. We want a race.’ No protest was entered.

: It was agreed to send a letter to Sir R. Sutton, acknowledging the Genesta’s ‘ mis- take, and agreeing tu pay the damages.

The Puritan and Genesta.

THE INITIAL RACE.

Owing to the lateness of the start of the initial race between the Genesta end Pari- tan, and to lack of wind afterwards, the yachts succeeded on Tnesday in making only half the course, or 20 miles. In this 20-mile beat to windward the Puritan squarely outsailed the Genesta, 1 mile in 10 and nearly 2 miles in 20.

The wind on Tuesday had come in from the southeast, a moderate breeze, shortly after 1, and it was hailed with de- light. The Puritan slipped across the line first, close up to the judges’ boat, at 1 35.55, but fer some reason (aptain Car- ter, of the Genesta, tacked to starboard just before reaching it, losing 1 m. 42 secs., aud being handicappod 37 seconds thereby. She crossed at 1.37 37 official time. Capt. Crocker of the Puritan, which boat looked very handsome with mainsail, sprit top- sail, forestaysail, jib and jibtopsail set, meant ‘‘fight” from the start. At the mowent the Genesta crossed the line the Puritan come about and in 30 seconds had filled away on the starboard tack with the Genesta a hundred yards on the beam. The course was right in the ‘‘wind’s eye,’ S. E. Cheered on by shouts from hundreds of spectators and followed by an immense flotilla of pleasure craft, the two contestants headed due west on their first reach. Find- ing that he could neither pass the Puritan to leeward nor out point him, Capt. Carter, after 23 minutes, suddenly put the Genesta about to cross the Puritan’s stem, and Capt. Crocker put his helm down at once, bring- ing the handseme white sloop round 40 seconds later. The Genesta was full of tacks for round she came again in less than a minute followed by the Puritan again in 10 seconds, Both yachts were carrying ex- actly the same canvas. Instead of gaining

we it about at 307, reached to the south- ward, having made about eight miles of Now the | Puritan began to rapidly open the gap be- 'tween herself and the Genesta, end who» trey next tacked to the eas! ward at 4 ll she was fully three quarters of a mile to westward of her antagonist, an eighth ef a mile ahead, At 5.15 both tacked to the southward again, and now the Geneste was over a mile on the Puritan’s lee quarter- way. Both yachts walked through the fleet of schooners, astonished spectators, and proved the superior speed of these boats as compared with old models, At 6 30, when the judges’ boat arrived at the outer mark it was sundown, the wind growing lighter and the yachts then being two miles to leward, it was evident the race could not be sailed within the required time of seven hours. The regatta committee ordered it postponed until Wednesday, whea the boats wili start at the same hour and over a similar course. THE COVETED CUP.

The prize to be won in the races between the Boston slocp Puritan and the English cutter Genesta is coveted neither for its value nor its beauty. Its intrinsic worth is comparatively trifling, its original value being only a hundred guineas, and as toits merit as a work of art the London Saturday Review says it is ‘tone of the ugliest cups ever produced by an Eng- lish silversmith, and that is saying a gooi deal.” [ts greater value consists ia its character as the emblem of sup: emacy in the yachting world, and its chief beauty in American eyes is the inscription it bears recording its capture from a fiset of Eng- lish yachts and its successful defence against four several attempts at its recapture. The cup is aewer in form, stands full two feet high, is elaborately ornamented and is of solid silver, weighing about 100 ounces. Around the broadest part are medallions bearing various ner} tions. The first on: reacs, ‘ One hundred Guinea Cup, won Aug. 22, 1851, at Cowes, Eng., by yacht America, at the Royal Yacht Squadron Regatta, open to all nations.”. In addition to these words there appear in the same m - dall on the names of the fifte n yachts whiih started in the race. The next medallion b»ars the it scription, ‘‘ Schooner America, 170 tons, Commodore John C. Stevens ; built by George Steers, New York, 1851.” In the other spaces are recorded the racer made in defence of the cup against English and Canadian yachts which attempted its recapture. Since it was won hy the America it has been held by the New York Yacht Club as a perpetual challenge cup, open to be sailed for by organized yacht clubs of foreign countries. It is always to be the property, not of the yacht winning it, but of the club represented by such yacht, and held under like conditions as those under which it is now held.
