Brooklyn Yacht Club.— The annual fall regatta and 

 clam-bake of the Brooklyn Yacht Club will take place on 

 the 34th of the present month. The prizes to he sailed for 

 will be a champion pennant for each class; one for schoon- 

 er-'?, one for si. .op-:, and one for boats; subject to challenge 

 within thirty if a vs.' The race will be sailed on time allow- 

 ance, the start, to be a flying one. The coarse to be sailed 

 is to and around Southwest Spit buoy, 8:1-3 (keeping same 

 on port hand turning); from thence around buoy 5, off 

 Sandy Ilook (keeping same on port-hand turning) to home 

 atakeboat in Grave -end Bay, keeping same on port hand 

 in passing. Messrs. M. T." Davidson, H. Baragwanath, and 

 John A. Braman are the gentlemen of the committee in 

 charge, and they promise It genuine Rhode Island clam- 

 bakeTin the afternoon. 



Beawahhaka Yacht Club.— The Regatta for the "La- 

 dies' Prize" was sailed ar Oyster Bay on Saturday last, in 

 half a gale of wind, and great credit must be given the 

 club for the weatherliness of "the contending yachts, and 

 the skill and daring of their crews. It was to be regretted 

 that so few of the large yachts were able to enter, and that 

 those contending were so unevenly matched iu point of 

 size. The race, as far as these two classes were concerned, 

 was a foregone conclusion, and lacked interest. The course 

 for the schooners anel first-class sloops was for an imagina- 

 ry line between Middle Ground buoy and shore to and 

 around Hog Island buoy, thence to and around buoy off 

 Eaton's Keck, thence to and around buoy off Shippan 

 Point, returning to starting point. For the smaller boats, 

 from the anchorage at Oyster Bay to Middle Ground buoy, 

 then twice around the triangle, the points of which were 

 the Middle Ground, Hog Island, and Lloyd's Keck buoys, 

 returning to home stake-boat at Oyster Bay. The follow- 

 ing is a list of the entries :

The time arranged for the start of the second and third 

 class sloops was 10:30. The start was very even, no per- 

 ceptible advantage being gained by any boat. The wind 

 was very strong from the northeast at this time, and other 

 yachts could just lay their course clear of Old Man's Point. 

 The second class, iu the strong wind then blowing, soon 

 separated themselves from the small boats in the third 

 class. The tide was on the last quarter of the flood. 

 After clearing- the point it became a dead beat to the 

 Middle Ground. The time of rounding the buoy was as 

 follows :

From here it was a run to Hog Island buoy, during 

 which the relative position of the yachts was not materially 

 changed When alter rounding, they hauled on a wind 

 and began their beat to Lloyd's Neck buoy, the real work 

 Commenced ; the tide had just turned ebb, and with an 

 increasing wind the already high sea gradually grew higher 

 until it fairlv stood the little vessels on their ends. The 

 Lee proved herself the best boat in the seaway, and in the 

 work to windward continually increased her lead. The 

 Fei Seen stuck close to the Mirth, and the Undine with- 

 drew having carried away her bob-stay. As no Bbiftinj 

 ballast was permitted, and the number of the crew limited, 

 it was very lively work to keep the yachts right side up. 

 The Lee astonished every one who remembered her as a 

 sand-bag boat, and saw how remarkably well she sailed on 

 her own bottom. Of the other class the Jeta was very much 

 admired for the manner she carried her enormous spread 

 of canvas. The Middle Ground buoy was turned after 

 completing the triangle for the first time as under:

The second time round was very much like the first, only 

 "more so'" — more wind, more sea, and more loose water 

 where it did not belong. The Mary Emma hauled down 

 her second reef, and the Alcyone was obliged to rem 

 the contest by weight of weather. Right pluckily was she 

 sailed too. "Below are the times of arrival at home stake-

The large yachts started and finished, as is shown in the 

 summary of the race, but as before mentioned the result 

 was a foregone conclusion. The Idler, after r6U] ' 

 Hog Island buoy, made one stretch across the Sound, fol- 

 lowed bv the Ariel, the two sloops preferring to work down 

 the Long Island shore. The Addie carried away he* top- 

 mast at the cap, and the Alert after trying the strength of 

 the sea, ran under Lloyd's Neck Point', and hauled down a 

 reef. After reaching "Eaton's Keck buoy, and rounding, 

 the yachts came home right merrily off' the wind. The 

 Idler wins the schooner prize, and the Addie the one for 

 sloops. Below is a summary of this portion of theregatta.

 class of sloops, to be sailed for With time allowance, but no prize to be 



provided that the boat making it toot no other prize. 



The iron sloop Vindex was expected, and a lively race between her and 

 the Coming was anticipated, but she did not arrive in time from an east- 

 erly cruise. The whole interest of the race, therefore, centered on the 

 Foam and Halcyon. The Halcyon was the champion last year, w Dining 

 handsomely in every race sue entered, while the Foam made .

-I !■'■ 



The Lee wins without time allowance in her class, and 

 the Jeta wins bv 11 seconds in her class, but is disqualified, 

 from the fact that a club member did not Bteer her the 

 whole time. 



;ood free run home, she beat the 

 Halcyon by 45 seconds, with time allowance, the laiter making the 

 best time- over the course. She Bailed »et$ well also .n the race of the N. 

 York Yacht Club from Newport to the Bluffs, following close behind the 

 Dauntless, consequently a fair race between the two was eagerly looked 

 for, Foam being the favorite. 



The starting signal was given at 11:5, when the yachts crossed tin- Hue 

 as follows, with a light S. E. breeze: Belle, 11 .10.2-2; Reliecca, 11.12.21; 

 Coming, 11.13,24; Foam, 11.15.13: Fearless, 11.17.31; Ganntlet. 11.17.33; 

 Latoua, 11.18.33; Imogen, 11.19.22: Halcyon. 11.19.3S:Romnnce, 11.20.47. 

 The America crossed the line at 11.20.50, and sailed over the conrse, 

 though not belonging to the club. 



In the beat out to Marblehcad Point the Coming look a decided lead, 

 the Foam being second, with the Fearless very close on her weather 

 quarter, and Halcyon fourth, though in the short .r.eks and light air 

 Foamseemed t.ogain a utile. At this point the racers were met by the 

 Mariqnita. Flirt, Brenda. Princess, Grade, Julia, Alice. Dream, and other 

 yachts belonging to the dab, which accompanied them pari .... rr a I ic

 run. Coming rounded in 1.30.00, followed by Fearless, America, Lstana, 

 Belle and Gauntlet. Imogen, though beating Gauntlet at first, ran too 

 far to the eastward, and gave op the race. Romance and Rebecca doing 

 the same. After rounding Harding's, the wind being on the quarter, 

 balloon saila were set all round. Coming carrying away her balloon jiu- 

 5ta3 and topmast back-stay in the freshening breeze. A coaster com- 

 pelled Foam to luff a little just before reaching E.-e- Rock, which she

 the run from Hardiugs. From Egg Rock to the Pigs the boats bad a 

 stormy breeze, close hauled. Halcyon passing Foam beyond Egg Hock,
