These amateur seamen well deserve honorable mention, as do 

 allot the gentlemen who participated in the contest. They 

 do not belong to the school of fair weather sailors. 



The Regatta Committee made special entertainment for the 

 ladies on hoard the fine steamer Americus, and provided a 

 most bountiful spread: and inasmuch as the Scawanhaka 

 Club is called upon lo participate in numerous similar events 

 throughout the season, its liberality is certainly well tested. 

 This club deserves success, especially as it is educating gentle- 

 men in naval duty, which may be made useful in emergency 

 one of these days. 



I1.\i:!.i.m Regatta Association'.— The Harlem Rowing 

 Clubs held their annual regalia on the Harlem River on Mon- 

 day. The shores, club houses, steamers and barges were 

 filled with spectators. The course was a mile straight for all 

 the races which were rowed on the Hood with a fresh breeze 

 astern, which accounts for the fast time made. 



The first race was called about 2:45 p. M. ll was for pair- 

 oared shells, and the following crews started : 



I. Nautilus— Red— W. II. Walsh, bow; T. A. l.evie.n, stroke.

In the diamond-sculls race the contestants were It. "W. 

 Ratbbone, Athletic Club, and P. C. Ackerman, Atalantas. A 

 foul occurred and the referee awarded it to Ratbbone, who 

 rowed over the course at his leisure. 



The fourth race was for four-oared shells. In this Columbia 

 College's racing four came to the front, as well as a crack J e!ur 

 from'lhc Athletics. The crews were i 



1. New York Athletic CI lib— A. T". Sliand, boW ; A. B. Slnmd, W. E

The four-oared gig race was the prettiest contest of the day. 

 The crews were : 



1. New uuk I. " v. hi- i till— p. li Pi Vi.-ir-j., Ln-.v ; Fu^i ue C. Cru-

3. Co umbia -II. P. Crown, bow ; Charles Kldrtdgc. li. G. Ridubc-k. 

 J. C. Edeun, stroke ; 11. G. Castuer, coxswain. 



All caught the water evenly, and the bow tips of all three 

 were on a line up to the eighth. At the quarter Columbia 

 led a few inches, and the other two still kept abreasi. At, the 

 half Columbia had only gained a half length, the other two 

 being still abreast. Such close racing is seldom seen. At the 

 threc-ipiarters Columbia had gained.a length, the other two 

 still chasing her hotly. On the last eighth all three boats 

 made a tremendous effort, the .New York Rowing slipped to 

 the front of the Nassaus, and for a moment it looked as if their 

 how tip would pass the Oolumbias. Unfortunately, at this 

 vital moment, the bow of the New Yorkers caught a crab, and 

 amid the hoarse cheers of the collegians the gallant Columbias 

 dashed by the finish— the winners — in .5 minutes 521 seconds . 

 New York Rowing Club, minutes 581 seconds; Nassau, 5' 

 minutes 59J seconds. 



The last race, for six-oared gigs, was also interesting. The 

 contestants are : 



Columbia— H. R Iavingtoue, bow; Q. P. Sccley, E. E. Sage, R. R 

 Colgate, C. S. Boyd, J. T. Goodwin ; G. B. Cornell, coxswain. Time,

In this race the betting was heavy, and the result a surprise 

 to those giving odds.

Tut; Atlantic Challenge Pennant.— A challenge race 

 for the championship pennant of the Atlantic Vaeht Club for

 the pennant, having won it in a well-fought race last fall. 

 ! 1 1 I' were four entries for the race— the Hope, (Vcniu, Nim-

 point, was one of the closest on record. The Hope won Hie 

 pennant, beating the Genia by i sec., the Nimbus by S3 sec 



and the Myra by '.) min. 57 sec. The yachts had a good sail-

No scientific event of late yeirs has been so productive of delightful 

 literature as the recent expedition of the English ship Challenger. 

 The accounts of the voyage by Wyviilc Thompson and others have 

 been received with much favor, not only by scientific students, hut 

 also by the more intelligent reading public, aud among these nunc is 

 more thoroughly enjoyed than the "bog betters from tile Ctialh I ger, 

 a copy of the. second edition of which now lies upon our desk. Origi- 

 nally written as letters, the author tells us, which were sent home during 

 the cruise, these chapters are marked by a refreshing abandon, and the 

 easy epistolary style of a familiar correspondence. Lord Campbell is 

 a close observer, has an eye for the droll and humorous aspects of life, 

 and possesses withal the faculty or describing what he sees In the

Price $3. 

 This is the sixth valame of the series which was begun in KT1, anil 

 which constitutes a complete and continuous history of the progress ol 

 science and industry for the last six years. The distinguishing 

 features of tin, work, as Dr. Baird tells us, are a aeries of summaries of 

 progress In the diirereut branches or physical, natural and industrial 

 science; a series of abstracts and digestsof important papers, memoirs 

 and other publications, carefu'ly. edited by specialists in the different 

 departmental* science; a necrology of scientific men for the year, 

 a list oE the more important sciejiiitic publications of the year, with 

 critical notice, and guidance to purchasers, and, what much enhances 

 the value ol the volume, a mlnule index and analytical tabic of uon- 

 lenis. We cannot speak in ton high terms of the value of tins series, 



and Its adaptability to the general reading public. An e.vimhm i of 



Ihe several departments reveals the same thoroughness and compre- 

 hensiveness of treatment that have won for the preceding volumes au 

 established place among the sclentiBc reference books of the day.
