To the editor of the Field: It.i- extraor dinary that no sooner is there :nt iitfomn. tlon.ll matili btttveen American and Eng' ii-u jntnis than there are ructions. It seems Impossible for a Yankee to go straight, iK-ntuso it is inherent In his nature to go t rooked to do something mean or shabby or to be rcllty" of some con temptible atllou. I iu.. een a good many yatht races Iictweeh English, Trent !i and llulian yachts and there is no trouble, but the moment a Yankee meets a British yacht he begins Ins tricks. "They are not a Siorling people. The spirit of sport is not in lliem. Their object Is to liesl the other ft How bv f.iir means or foul, and to win a few dollars. We should net er have heard an.tthlug nun1 of this much ndtcrtiscd America's cup had it not been for the llladtised action of the late James Ashbury, of Urighton, in taking his yacht across' the Atlantic to eoiuH-te for it and thus unearthiiu It, when It hud better hate been lelt in its former cold shade of neglect. Ininraven had nothing to gain, the dice beiug loaded. The Defender's skipper, whose sole object seemed to be to Ix-sl the other fellow, by fair nie.ius or foul, is an AinerJc.iulz.il ScandinHtLin, who is seh'Ctisl to take charge of the representa tive American jaeht because or his cutc ness." Intiinother letter the same corn-spoudent says: "The hatred aud Jealousy of the Ameri cans have degraded etery rt Will Englishmen hate their eyes ojiened? The demon of gambling seems in the United States to hate otcrpowvrcd the spirit of BKirt. as over all good things. "Within two weeks Mr. J. Arthur Beard brought out the Spruce IV to sail for another cup. and he had to pay nearly JtlO lieforc the would allow his lioat to pass th custom house. Is there a port lu the British empire, win re, under the circum stances, such a thing would be done? "It Is a mailer of common knowledge that the America's cup is not to be al lowed to rctrofcs the Atu.-ullr ami that everj means, foul or fair, to retain it are to be used. I say this is a matter of com mon knowledge.. aud I hate heard it de clared oltcu with that ingenious profanity which Americans keep ready for any emer gency.

Tans. Oct. 11. Rear Admiral Fitzger ald sajs it may be a matter of opinion as to whether it is or is not courteous for yachts (In a match) to cross the start ing line with no intention of sailing a match. He thinks it simply making a fool ' of the adversary, and the affront becomes pronounced in case of an mtirnation.il match. Good Intentions ascribed to the owner of Valkjrle III can scarcely, he holds, be held to niter the facts. "I'ATHl.V" WAS THE MAGIC WOH l.
