The start was fromolT H:iy Ridge, and the course, for schoon- 

 ers and Brat class sloops, to and around the S. W. spit, the 

 Bandy Hook Lightship and home. The second class sloops, after 

 founding the spit buoy, proceeded to a stake, boat in Gcdncy 

 Channel, and thence to tile-starter's point. The yachts, hav- 

 ing a living start, crossed the line as follows : Peerless, lib. 

 Kim. 35s. i Agnes, llh. Dm. 423.: Triton, lib. 18m. 31s.; 

 Niantic, lib. 25m. 22s. ; Orion, lib. 25m. 40s. ; Genia, llh. 

 23m. 10s.; Hope, llh. 24m. 30s.; Kaiser, lib. 20m. lis.; 

 Lizzie I.., lib. 24m. 5s j Nimbus, lib. 20m. 10s. 



Tin- wind was light, but still fresh enough to make the con- 

 test, interesting. The Peerless held her lead of the other 

 schooners, while the Niantic was fast gaining on them, and 

 leading the other sloops. Several tacks were necessary to 

 enable them to make the first stake-boat, the yachts going 

 attiund as follows: Agues, 12h. 55m. 40s.; Peerless, 12h. 

 53m. 15s. ; Triton, l2h. 57m. 55s. : Niantic, lh. 4s. ; Orion, 

 lh. 5m. 53b. ; Genia, lh. 7m. 12s. ; Hope, lh. 25m. 21s. ; 

 Kaiser, lh. 16m. 38s. ; Lizzie L., lh. 24m. 80s. ; Nimbus, lh. 

 30m. 15s. 



The wind hauling more to the eastward again, the lightship 

 was now dead to windward, and the second class sloops also 

 had a beat for the Gedney Channel stake-boat. The wind 

 now died out almost entirely, and with a flood tide it seemed 

 impassible lor the yachts to reach the lightship and return 

 within the eight hours to which they were limited. The 

 Triton and Orion did eventually succeed in getting around, 

 the one at 0:0:12 and the other at 0:16:12, but as far as the 

 Bcboonors and first-class sloops were concerned it was de- 

 clared uu race. 



The second class sloops went around the stake-boat in Ged- 

 nev's Channel as follows :— Genia, 4h. 56m. 30s. ; Kaiser, 51,. 

 :jOin. 40s.. Lizzie L, 5k. 20m. 46b.; Nimbus. 5h. 22m. 35s, 

 and having a fair tide homo, succeeded in making I he course, 

 in 'ill. 43m. 50s., the Genia winning. Their times were as 

 fellows: Genia, 7h. Om. 0s. : Kaiser, 7h. 44m. 32s. ; lizzie 

 L., 7h. 32m. 9s.j Nimbus, 7b.' 37m. 14s.

The sloops Susie S-, Schemer, Arrow and schooner Comet 

 are the winners in their respective classes. 



The event was in reality a match race in each class between 

 two yachts of wide reputation for speed, and between which 

 an intense rivalry has always existed. In the schooners, these 

 were the Estelle and Comet: in the first class sloops, the Ar- 

 row and Niantic; in second class sloops, the Lizzie L. and 

 Schemer, and in the third class, the Wm. L. Lee and Susie S. 

 Between the last two there was a wager of $300 a side in ad- 

 dition to f he contest for the club prize. 



Regatta of the Boston Yacht Club. — Boston, June 7. 

 — The first regatta of I he Boston Yacht Club took place off 

 the club house, City Point, to-day. The weather was very 

 Stormy, with occasional squalls from the northeast, thunder 

 being heard in the distance. Despite the mist and gloom, 

 four or live of the more courageous owners placed their boats 

 at the disposal of the committee for a regatta. After consul- 

 tation on board Commodore Cbeeney's yacht Fleur-de-lis, the 

 Commodore decided to present two of the prizes to be sailed 

 for. The judges were: Thos. Dean, Esq., Copt. C. W. 

 Jones of the Stranger, and A- Claxton Gary, Esq. The Re- 

 gatta Committee decided (after conferring with the owners 

 that wished to sail) to handicap, making but one class, with 

 Ey regular time allowance. Every now and then the fog 

 would shut down thick, and things would look gloomy 

 enough. Precisely at 4 v. St. the centre-board sloops Violet, 

 Rebic and Posy, and the keel-sloop Sunbeam, with the little 

 catamoran, were sent off to windward with a fresh breeze, 

 still northeast. The course was down the bay to buoy No. 6, 

 leaving it on starboard; thence to Sculpin Ledge buoy, 

 leaving it on Starboard, to buoy No. 7, southeast of Eort 

 Independence, leaving it on port, up the bay toward Dor- 

 chester, leaving Cow Pasture buoy on starboard to judges' 

 boat, passing between that and llag boat. Being one of the 

 contestants we had an admirable chance to follow the differ- 

 ent phases of the race, aud of course give the incidents more 

 minutely. Alter leaving the judges' boat we had a dead heat 

 to windward, with quite a steady breeze, and wc found we 

 held the centre-boards very well. Although (here was hardly 

 wind enough to make US point with them, we slid through 

 Hi. water a little faster, and Ihus made lip for lee-way. Tho 

 Violet, Coin, F E. Peabody, took the lead from the start, 

 and rounded No. quite a little distance ahead of the Posy, 

 Onpl. llersey, with Sunbeam third, and Capt. Jns. P. Phin- 

 ncy's Rebie fourth. Capl. Gleasou's calamoran was occupy- 

 ing a modest position in the fear. From the start we were 

 noxious to know how the double boat would sail, but soon 

 discovered that on the wind she was not a success; oil" the 

 wind she . skimmed like a bird. After rounding we lost 

 sight of the Violet the fog bad shut down so. linimerii-lf ly 

 WCnt below and got out the compass and chart, lor on the 



face of our navigation lay our chances for a prize. Our 

 course from to Sculpin Was 8. S E., and we made it cor- 

 rectly. On rounding that buoy we again came in sight of the 

 Violfit, wbichhad her kites drawingsplendidly : OUTS, too, was 

 doing the business for us, and apparently wc had neither Alined 

 nor lost on the Violet after she had got round No. 6. Again 

 Ihe wind lightened, and I he Violet vanished, like the Hying 

 dutchman, iu the mist. We could hardly see the* others, they 

 were so far astern j but, we made nut Rebie third, and the 

 Posy bringing up Ihe rear -the catainoran had given up and 

 gone back. The course we wore now sailing was north by 

 west, and that, we found out, was not enough to make the 

 buoy. The course from the chart is N. N. \V., but we gave 

 her "a point to windward for lea set of the tide. Every eye 

 was strained on the lookout, aud if ever a buoy in our harbor 

 was scanned Tor more closely than No. 7 I want to hear from 

 it. We were sailing against odds and had got to make all that 

 was possible to beat the boats astern, on allowance; besides 

 the wind was light, and the centre boards skim in such 

 weather. About ten minutes more mid the Violet, and No. 7 

 were sifted up to windward. Wc had made too much lea- 

 way, and were compelled to take in the balloon jib and beat 

 up to the buoy to sot. round. The Violet was rounded with 

 her jib top-saii thrown over the slay and piling for Cow Pas- 

 ture buoy No. 6, Dorchester Bay. Again she left us like a 

 vision, and all was bleak. What a lonesome feeling. Imagine 

 yourself in a small circle of space, the only objects in view 

 your boat, and^companions, and an ugly black can buoy with 

 a big 7 painted on it in white. You are struggling to get, to 

 windward against a strong flood tide, and it seems almost as 

 if the. buoy would beat you. You know nothing about your 

 competitors, how near or far they are. Well, to' make a 'long 

 story short, wc got round the buoy, leaving it ou port, and 

 squared away from No. 7 for Cow Pasture, and where we sup- 

 posed our friend the Violet was. In j ibing around we always 

 have to throw the balloon jib over the working jib stay, as' it 

 would not set properly without. The wind seemed to freshen 

 as we got into Dorchester Bay, and we were soon bowling

— It will be remembered that two years ago, on the occasion 

 of the ocean yacht race off the Isles of Shoals, one of the 

 buoys marking the course for the larger vessels waB missing 

 ou the. day of the race. A few days since the mystery was 

 cleared up by Mr. Charnock of South Boston. He says that 

 on the night before the great race, it being foggy, be moored 

 his yacht to one of the buoys marking the course, and that 

 daring the night the yacht drifted several miles with the buoy 

 in tow. 



—Butler's America will probably be under sail by June 15. 

 She will be commanded, as usual, by Captain F. "Keed, and 

 will engage in some of the leading races of the season. Her 

 owner will, it is said, make an extended trip in her in Au- 

 gust. 



Sciti yi.kiu. Navy Regatta. I'lalailtlpliiii, JtineW, 18T7.— 

 The arrancenienls of ihe COmmitlOG, except as to policing 

 the course, were excellent, 



Gornily won the singles easily, rowing all about the river, 

 vainly hunting for smooth water, while pji asontoii, who has 

 no "go fast" in him was. as usual, a had last. The Phila- 

 delphia pair had Ihe racg all their own way; the Undine's 

 Btroke crabbing almost at the start, and growing wild, dropped 



The last and most important contest of the day was for the 

 foiii'-oined shell prize. The nsull makes a pretty general red- 

 istribution of 'ii'opliii'S.Gurinly being the only contestant holding 

 over. The presentations were made by Commodore Kriunbhuar, 

 at the L'ndine House, iniiucdinlcl\ after the laces.

Thk Moubis ScnARFF Rack.— In the much anticipated live 

 mile single scull race on Saturday, June 9. between William 

 Scbarff, of Birmingham, Pa., and Evan Morris, of Pittsbu rgb, 

 for the championship of America and a purse of ,-j;2,000, Scbarff 

 was heal en. The race was rowed over the ilonongahela 

 course in the presence of thousands of spectators. Morris, 

 who bad been the favorite for some days previous, took the 

 lead almost at the start, which he maintained until be passed 

 the winning line. Morris turned the buoy in 20:54, Scbarff 

 following in 21:28. On the home stretch 'Scbarff labored to 

 close the gap between him and his rival, but the latter spurted 

 and maintained his advantage, passing the winning point, ac- 

 cording to the official time announced by the judges, in 36m 

 45s., live to six lengths ahead, while SpharfE's time was 37m. 

 In the race last year Scbarff won by less than n boat length, 

 but no official time was taken. It is now expected thai -Mor- 

 ris will tackle llaulon, the Canadian. 



Hai:lem Riyeb. — A one mile race took place on the Har- 

 lem River, ou Saturday afternoon, between selected crews 

 from ihe Oharlier Rowing Association, Columbia College:, and 

 the Polyuenian Literary Society. The race was started at, 

 4:30 o'clock, the Oharlier crew taking the lead ou a '-spurt," 

 and maintaining it easitj to the end of the race, which they 

 won by fully Ave lengths, in 5m. 55s., Columbia coining in 

 second. The winning crew were-. E. Lktauer. stroke- A 

 \V. Payne, No. 8 ; C. Gaunaurd, No. 2 ; N. B. Eustls' No 

 1, and W. Clarke, coxswain. 



- The race for the Beacon cup, between Harvard OolItsM 

 students, was rowed on the Charles liver Saturday moriiiiia-, 

 Goddnrd, class '80, anil Harriman, class '77 coulis'iiug. The 

 race was won by Goddard in 14:52. The distance was two 

 miles. 



—The Corinthian regatta of the Long Island Yacht Club 

 was hold on Friday, the 8th. The Jersey City Yacht Club 

 held their- regatta on Thursday, the previous day. It was 

 Cloudy and rainy, and the weather was wholly unfavorable. 



CiiKKi l'.— The match which was to have been played be- 

 tween the Germantown Club, of Philadelphia, .and ihe St. 

 George's, of this City, is off, intieh to the disappointment of 

 many lovers of crickel. The secretary of Ihe Germantown 

 Club telegraphs : "Cannot come on. Match Off, Cannot 

 get. an eleven." This seems very remarkable, 88 theteappears 

 to be no difficulty in getting an eleven when the visit is the 

 oilier way. The St. George's Club has never broken an en- 

 gagement, and last year went on with seven men and played 

 two matches. The match was made three weeks before the 

 secretary found that be could not get iu (own. 



The St. George's Club has received a very cordial invitation 

 to visit Ottawa, Ontario, on or about the 20;,h iust., to play a 

 match with the Ottawa Cricket Club, and the Secretary Mr 

 Talbot, has issued a circular addressed to the members asking 

 for volunteers. 



English Foot Bam,.— To the uninitiated onlooker, the game 

 of foot-ball is one of the most mysterious performances which 

 it is possible to contemplate. It would appear to be called 

 foot-ball, on the lucus a -non luemdo principle, because the ball 

 is hardly ever kicked. After the first " kick off" it is seized 

 by one of the players, who runs with it in his arms as 

 as far as ho can. His opponents forthwith set upon him, and 

 if possible, knock him down. Then there is a general strug- 

 gle for the ball. Of course, the possession of it lies between 

 two or three men in the centre of the throng-, but all the rest 

 close around them with the exception of certain ones w ho, ap- 

 pointed for the purpose, with bands on knees intently, watch 

 the "seriiiiinage.'' Every one in the main body pushes and 

 struggles as vigorously as may he, and the outer ones put 

 down their heads, and butt like goats against their friends. 

 There, is nothing to he seen bul a writhing, swaying, conlused 

 mass of humanity, Rom which a column of steam rises into 

 the wintry air. At length, those in the centre are compelled 

 to drop the ball, and after innumerable kicks at each other's 

 shins, it is pushed out of the little forest of legs, Whereupon 

 one of the outside watchers makes a snatch at it aud carries it 

 a few yards, when he is in turn set upon by his eu ' 

 and the same scene is repeated. — Tinsley,
