A * *4 • U V ^ A vv«. M ^ ” •The English Yacht Challenge.—In reply to the challenge of Mr. Mare, of the Royal Yacht Club, Mr. John C. Stevens, formerly owner of the yacht “America,” has written the following replyI regret it will not be in my power to accept the proposal of Mr. Mare, as I have at present no intention of visiting England again the ensuing season, nor can I learn that any of the members of the New York Yacht Club intend doing so. For myself, then, I must beg leave to decline the invitation of Mr. Mare to meet him at Cowee. You have the “ America” in your waters, and when Mr. Mare builds a yacht of superior speed, and with comforts and accommodations (bat which, from hie apparent estimate of them, I presume he has not seen) excelling thoso of the “America,” we shall be most happy to give him a triaFfo* the sum he mentions, whenever he will do us the favour of returning the visit I had the honour of paying the Royal Yacht Squadron at Cowes. I should fear the repetition of a visit unreturned might be deemed an intrusion, or want of etiquette. With the hope that yourself or Mr. Mare, or some others of your enterprising yachtsmen, tfitl pat it in oar power to return the many courtesies and civilities received during our stay in England, I remain yours, Scc., John C. Stevens. To Samuel Trescott, E?q , member of the Royal Western Yacht Club.”'T'n x? nnxrarr AT v a t a r'r —. Tt rnmnijfed that the mir.
