Boston, June 27. -The first of a scries of races between the 

 Faulkner-Regan and Davis-Landers crews was rowed on the 

 Charles Kivcr tins afternoon, it being a single scull race be- 

 tween Faulkner and Davis, distance three miles, for $500 a 

 side. Twenty thousand persons saw the race. Both boats 

 took the water well together, and had proceeded about an 

 eighth of a mile when an excursion steamer crossed their 

 course, which caused Davis to lose a little. Faulkner was 

 slightly in advance, and held his position until the mile was 

 reached. Then Davis put on a fine spurt and went to the 

 front. Davis turned the mile and a half stake about two 

 lengths ahead of Faulkner, and in the next half mile the latter 

 lessened the gap to one length : but all his efforts to get to the 

 front were in vain, as Davis gradually gained until tbe finish, 

 coming in five lengths ahead. Time. 22:5SA ; Faulkner's 

 time, 23:14. 



DoBCUESTKn Yacht Club Kegatta. — The first annual regatta 

 of this club took place off Nahant, June 18, over a KH-mile 

 course. At 1 p. it. there was wind enough to suit the most 

 fastidious yachtsman afloat. The first and second class cen- 

 tre-boards were immediately started. The Sunbeam crossed 

 the line and had her time taken on the flying start, closely fol- 

 lowed by the Echo and Jobnny Sands. The Johnny gave up 

 the race, and thus only two keels were left. 



Ten minutes afterward the third-class centre-boards were 

 started. Their course was round "Winthrop Head buoy and 

 return, 7\ miles As there was only one boat started— the 

 Virginia, "Capt. Plimpton— he was awarded the prize for his 

 pluck. 



In the first class centre-board, the Shadow, Capt. Bryant, 

 was the first to round the buoy, off the Graves, followed by the. 

 Violet, Com. F. E. Peabody, Etiie Mary, Capt. Hibbard, and 

 Lillie, Com. Babb. The second class centre-boards were now 

 making things lively for the first class boats in the rear, and 

 the Sunbeam, first class keels, was astonishing every one in 

 the second class centre-boards by her remarkable sailing to 

 windward, it being a close thing 'round the bell buoy between 

 her and the first boat in the second class centre-boards. The 

 Jubie, Capt. I'hinney, was the next boat round the buoy, fol- 

 lowed by the Sunbeam, Capt. Nickerson, and the first class 

 boat (centre-board) Oenone, Vice-Corn. S. P. FreemaD. The 

 ballooti jibs were now set, the breeze so'-east and freshening 

 every moment, and we were bowling along, rail down. The 

 Shadow had now got round tbe buoy off Winthrop Head, and 

 was standing in to cross the line. Her weather rigging was 

 drawn as tight as a fidtliestriug. The Violet was second. 

 We were quietly watching the Etiie Mary which seemed to 

 run with remarkable swiftness, when all of a sudden her top- 

 mast was seen to swav and fall, carrying the masthead, top- 

 sail and balloon jib. This accident threw Capt. Hibbard 

 out of a chance for a prize. 



From Winthrop buoy we gradually hauled on the Kebie, 

 and walked out from under the Vice-Commodore's yacht. 

 There was hardly daylight between us and the Oenone, and 

 we bad lapped the llebio, crossing the line. Appended is the 

 result in corrected time :

"iMovikkai. Yacht Club.— A Yacht Club has been formed 

 !. called the "Montreal Yacht Club." It comprises 



lai ■ li 1 1 of both Sloan and cat-rieged boats. The officers 

 are: Commodore, Dr. Brewster, yacht Maud: vice do.. A. J. 

 Mcintosh, yacht Iona: Secretary,' W. Morkill; Tress irer, D 

 Sexton; Measurer, R. McGregor. Committee, Win. Camer- 

 on, A. Grnssford, C. O'Connor. 



The long expected yacht race between the Maud and the 

 Walenvitch, of Kingston, took place June 33, under the aus- 

 pices of this club. The Montreal Star says : 



The start was a flying one, the Maud passing the line first 

 by one minute ; not long, however, did she keep the lead, for 

 in the fir-,1, lack the I'pper Canada boat forged ahead, increas- 

 ing the lead to over a mile, when the Maui! gave up the race. 

 Tbe manner in which the Waterwitch was handled, drew 

 forth expressions of surprise and delight from the large cum- 

 ber of sped abas who witnessed the, race. As tie- Maud is 

 the champion of the Montreal Yacht, Club and was considered 

 the fastest boat here, Mr. Cunningham's victory is a signal 

 one. and reflects great credit on him, both as a builder aiid a 

 yachtsman.

HARVARD vs. YALE. 



nAEVAKD yVtNS BY A LENGTH AND THHEE-QUAKTEKS. 



After seven years of discouragement and defeat, Harvard 

 again comes to the front. The crimson floats above the blue, 

 and the joy of the Cambridge man knows no bounds. Har- 

 vard's last victory was in '09. In '70 Yale came in ahead of 

 her, hut lost tbe race through a foul. Since '69 the tide of 

 victory has steadily set away fri >m ' ' fair Harvard." Her over- 

 whelming defeat of last summer roused her at last, and she 

 changed her entire boating system ; she made, in fact, the 

 same change that Cook inaugurated at Yale in 73, namely, the 

 putting of solid men on the crew in place of the jolly good fel- 

 lows who in former times represented their college in society 

 matters, but decidedly misrepresented her at the oar and bat. 

 Bancroft carefully selected such an eight and came into the 

 field this year with as superb a crew as ever pulled oar 

 through the water. Both crews were at their training ground 

 at Springfield by the 22d of June. Thursday noon, the day 

 before the race, the college men began to arrive in town. 

 They came from all parts' of the country; men direct from 

 college, men in college, and men graduates oE many years 

 standing. They all recognized the fact that in the coming 

 contest "but two sets of interest were on stake, those of their 

 own college and those of the only college they had ever cared 

 to enter into a rivalry with. Yale men came to see Yale beat 

 Harvard, Harvard men to see Harvard beat Yale. One of 

 these two results must take place, and each set of men felt 

 that the chances were all in favor of their own crew. For 

 this reason, no doubt, there was collected in Springfield, by 

 Friday noon, more college men, by actual count, than had 

 ever "before been in the city for any former race. The halls 

 and corridors of the hotel were thronged with the wearers of 

 the blue and the, crimson, both parties eagerly discussing the 

 chances of their respective crews in the approaching 

 race. Heavy betting was the order of the day. Han- 

 croft had sent in word that nothing but an accident 

 could prevent his crew from winning. The Yale men were 

 equally confident, so the students staked every thing they had 

 with the recklessness so characteristic of college men. 



Friday afternoon at hall-past four was the time fixed upon 

 tor the face. Half-past four came, and the grand stand al lie- 

 end of the course was thronged with spectators. It is esti- 

 mated that fully seven thousand people were assembled On the 

 eastern bank of the. river that afternoon. A large crowd was 

 collected on the other bank opposite the finish, where by far 

 the best view of the crews could be obtained. Carriages lined 

 the west bank all the way down the last two miles of the 

 course. The bridges were crowded with the poorer class of 

 humanity, who, from their high position, had a splendid view 

 of the crews for the lirst. two and a quarter miles of the race. 

 Probably twelve thousand people were collected to seethe 

 race. But there was more that :■ afternoon. It ble , 

 wind straight up the course, and a heavy sea was the result. 

 The south wind is the only one that Can 'make rough water on 

 the Springfield course, and, as luck would have "it, a south 

 wind sprang up Friday morning and blew steadily all that day 

 and the following. The people waited long and patiently for 

 the race to come off, but their patience brought them no satis- 

 factory result, and at seven o'clock they went 1)8 

 city iii dl'8gUSt. That evening the Bpringfield club gave a re- 

 ception to the students Of both colleges, and a very brillant 

 affair it was. Brown's band, or Boston, furnished the instru- 

 mental music, and a, superbly organized glee club of Spring- 

 field genflomen (the Orpheus Glee Club) sang half a dozen 

 selections in fine style. The behavior of (he studentsafler the 

 reception was in tin- highest degree exemplary, and no brawls 

 reported next day. Early next, morning 



people begt 1 1 "c of therace. H was ad- 



vorfised toeonie ,1 , lock. There was 



I 



a one as that of the day previous. Al, half-past ten o'clock 

 the referee determined that the race had better lie rowed. The 

 sen was high and the water utterly unlit for scull racing. 

 'i:, 1 big the crews go out in such water was an unjust, ill- 

 ;i Ivisi d proceeding, and was alone sufficient to testify to the 

 utter incapacity of Mr. Agassiz to till his position. Both 

 crews, partieular.'y Yale's, had spent months of careful, con- 

 -vi el i, ■ is work in getting into perfect Shape. The boats 

 they practiced in were shells, yet here they were compelled to 

 1 , iter in a sea fitted only for the heaviest Whitehall 

 boats. Beauty of stroke was at once lost to view. The con- 

 test became immediately one of weight and muscle; and in 

 this contest. Harvard's superior weight and development sent 

 her to the front. The result might have been a different one had 

 the race been rowed in smooth water. Tuesday night Harvard 

 went over the course al racing Speed, and did the lour miles in 

 22:08. Yale went over immediately after and made it in 22:01. 

 Shortly before ten o'clock the boats were in position. The. 

 press were on the River Belle which this time managed to 

 keep within hailing distance of the referee's boat. At the 

 word "Go," Yale caught the water first, and, pulling 3B 

 strokes to the minute, took a slight lead. Harvard started off 

 rowing 35. In a few moments they both came down to 84 to 

 the minute. At the old foot bridge Harvard had the lead, 

 and this she kept to the end of the race. As soon as the old 

 bridge was passed both crews got, into the rough water. Har- 

 vard's weight began to tell here at once, and she drew away 

 till there was a gap of a length between her and the blue 

 caps. She was atill pulling 34, while Yale was rowing 34 and 

 35. "Vale had the outside course:, and in the rough water this 

 was a terrible disadvantage, as Harvard could seek the shelter 

 of the shore, while she had to take the. rough water. As the 

 crews approached the bend at the beginning of the third mile, 

 Yale put on a spurt and drew nearly up to Harvard; hut at 

 tbe bend the gap widened out again", and the two boats went 

 down the course with a length of clear water between them. 

 Here was encountered the worst water of the. course. The 

 whole river below the t urn was a sheet uf white caps, and 

 Yale's boat, through the absence of washboards, soon became 

 full of water. Harvard, notwithstanding her wl 

 also shipped yvater, but by no means so much as was in the. 

 Yale, boat. The Harvard crew wen- pulling very steadily. 

 putting all their weight on to the stroke, and not going above 

 31 to the minute. The Yales were working magnificently, 

 but the water in their boat was troubling them, and at ercry 

 stroke it rushed back, and striking against the. water-tight 

 compartment under the coxswain's seat, Checked their head- 

 way. At the finish, Wood called out to '-hit her up." The 

 fellOWB promptly responded. The stroke rose to 4.0, and the 

 most beautiful spurt I ever saw was made. The gap , 1, 

 till the Yale bow nearly lapped the stern of the leading boat, 

 But Bancroft called for a spurt, and his crew answered with 

 a tremendous burst which landed their boat across the line a 

 winner by seven seconds, by a length and three-quarters of 

 clear water. From start to finish Harvard rowed superbly. 

 She fairly and honestly won her victory. The Yale men were 

 much exhausted by their terrible efforts. The whole last mile 

 had been a series "of spurts, and they had rowed with the 

 water splashing about their feet and aukles. Never did a 

 erew strive more gallantly for victory. The race throughout 

 was the finest one ever rowed in American waters; but it 

 should never have been rowed in such a seaway. The refe- 

 ree should have postponed it for a, week if necessary. Men 

 do not care to undergo months and months of self-denial and 

 hard work to be forced to pull such a killing race. The work 

 done by both crews the last half mile was absolutely painful. 

 Smaller men would have succumbed entirely, but both crews 

 drove their boats fiercely through the surges, and fought their 

 way in the face " of wind and wafer to the 

 finish line. Nothing can be said against, the course. 

 It is almost always smooth, and above the bridges there are 

 few days in the year when shells cannot go out. The upper 

 course, 'that starling at Chicopee and finishing at, Son,,: ;i Id, 

 should have been the one selected. The time was remark- 

 ably cood when the state of the water is taken into considera- 

 tion. " Harvard's time was 24:3<i: Yale's. 24:48. 

 race, both crews went down to Hartford to seethe ball match. 

 The referee was Prof. Agassi/, of Harvard College; official 

 time keeper, Geo, Sheffield, Yale '63. Judges— for Harvard, 

 G. F. Roberts. Haiv. 'II, and P. Tiickerman; lor Yale, Wil
