Rose of London Challenging for 1896 America’s Cup
Charles Rose son of Sir John Rose of London sent a cable to ex Commodore James D. Smith of the New York Yacht Club challenging for the 1896 America’s Cup. The challenge lacks proper form and must pass through the club secretary. Rose, a London jockey club member and racing man, may formalize his offer. Commodore Smith notes the challenger belongs to the Royal Yacht Squadron but is not listed in its roster.
