the Ironsides buoy almost in the wind's eye, so as to make 

 Swash Channel inside the Horseshoe bar, which she accora- 

 pbshed, thus gaining a full half mile to windward of the HOl- 

 Itrnd, owing to the hitter's inability to work so close to the 

 wind. The Holland, io keep off the bar and gain the advan- 

 tage of the flood tide, steered toward GkuusUr. At the 

 mouth or the back channel, Funk shook up bis boat out of 

 the wind, and ordered another pull on the throat halliards, 

 bo as to get his sails well up, and enable him to look close to 

 windward, which would bring him out at Greenwich Point, 

 not only ahead of the Holland, but about three-quarters of a 

 mile to windward. It was an unfortunate move ; the first 

 pull at the halliards caused them to creak, and the next mo- 

 ment they parted four feet below the block ; down came the 

 nail with a rush, and the Cohill's chance of winning the race 

 was done for, she lay dead as a log upon the water, and bo- 

 fore the damage could be repaired drifted a mile to leeward. 



The Holland made a back stretch from Gloucester, and 

 proceeded up the river, passing the home buoy first, and win- 

 ning the champion flag. When within about half a minute's 

 saiKroni the home buoy, the Sehnek capsized, and the G-nang 

 came iu second, followed by the Sot and Norcmslt. 



This was the bast regatta ever sailed by the Cooper's Point 

 fleet, and the time was the quickest on record. O, C. 



Jeksbt City Yacht Cixb.— The 21st annual opening of 

 the Jersey City Tacht Club, wrs held May 30, at their club 

 house, Jersey City. At 10 o'clock the fleet, numbering 23 

 yachts, were drawn up in line and inspected by Commodore 

 Nugent and staff. At 10:30, the sigBal gun -was fired from 

 the flagship Linda, Vice-Com. Ball, when all weighed anchors 

 and started for the Narrows, to round the buoy of Coney 

 Island Point and return to club house. The wind being 

 south east they had a beat to windward with a short and a 

 long leg. Psyche, Captain Miller, led the van until near the 

 Narrows when Knight Templor, Captain Donshea, took the 

 lead and maintained it on the return to the club house. The 

 members and friends partook of an old-fa9bioned clam bake, 

 •which was enjoyed very much thanks to the committee, 

 Messrs. Green, Smith and Forsyth. G.

Southern Taoht Clot.— The second annual regatta of 

 this club was sailed May 30, at New Lake End, New Orleans, 

 and seems to have met with a hearty popular reception. The 

 wind was fresh from S.S.E. at the rate of IS miles, dropping 

 to a comfortable 10 miles before the finish. Nineteen entries. 

 Maggie, of the third class, upset, and the ll cross bones " cata- 

 maran Unknown lost her rudder before the start. Susie 8., 

 former Bella of New York, was of course the favorite, in 

 spite of the presence of such cracks among the sand bag fra- 

 ternity as W. R. Brown, now L(">y Emma, and Pluck and 

 Luck, all imported from New York waters. Start was effected 

 from an anchor at 3h. 4m. i\ m., and all hands wore short 

 around and were off with a tree wind under lower sail, La 

 Belle only carrying a gaff topsail. Susie S, took the lead and 

 rounded the first mark wiih lots of water to spare. Olivia 

 was troubled with her rudder and had to come into the wind

The " open to nil" races of the same club were sailed two 

 days later. May 28, with like success, but resulted in a bad 

 and somewhat unaccountable defeat of the imported favorite, 

 Susie S. She had to strike colors to the Lady Emma, the 

 former \Y, U. Bfffutn. Our Southern exchanges make a mis- 

 take in calling the Brofim a Southern yacht, for she was built 

 in New "Vork waters, and it will be a long while yet, we 

 think, before any New Orleans built boat will show the North- 

 ern cracks the way over the course. The boats were this day 

 sailed by professional crews and Cearney, formerly sailing mas- 

 ter of the erstwhile Mobile Y. O. had the tiller of the Lady, 

 while Mr. Alex. Brewster, well-known as one of the best 

 saiiers in New Orleans or the South, tooled the Sutie 8. Bo 

 it may be accepted that the best speed was got out of both 

 the craft. The wind was steady, and blew 12 miles from 

 E. by N., sea smooth, so that it was the B ro ita \<s weather 

 and Cearney into the bargain that brought the Lady out wiih 

 such a handsome lead. Sixteen entries came to Lhe line, and 

 at 2h. 4m. p. m. they were sent away over the triangular 

 course on the lake, three times over ; distance, 15 miles. 

 Lady Emma took the lead from the start, and Susie S. got 

 the better of PI ark and Li/fl; by the time the second mark 

 was reached. Among the cabins La Belle turned the tables 

 of the previous race, and led No Nam,-- a short distance over 

 the whole course. On the third round Lady A'oima took a 

 bad knock down, and Cydinis spilled her ballast to wind 

 ward. Otherwise, nothing worth noticing occurred. The 

 yachts finished as under :

 day and all hands hove up at frtlS bound for New Meadows 

 River, with C'asco and Gutsy in company. The Three Islands 

 were reached at 1 p. m., and the yachts lay pitching at long 

 scopes, as the wind had risen to a fresh blow. Bath was 

 visited by many from the fleet. Saturday the wind was still 

 fresh from the S. and the air very cold, the yachts got away 

 early, the Clarence having joined, and it was a beat out by- 

 way of Flag and Ragged Island. Potts' Harbor was made at 

 1 t>. m. During the day, Minnie, Gussie, Marie, Nellie, Ram- 

 bler, Twilight, Willie and Undine reported to the Commo- 

 dore, swelling the fleet to very respectable numbers. Sun- 

 day, the la3t day of the cruise, the fleet got under way at 

 10:50 with a light air from the W., when anew anchorage 

 was made in Jewell's Island Cove by 12:30 P. m. A start was 

 again made Jin the afternoon and the yachts had to beat 

 against a S. W. breeze through White Head, the leaders lay- 

 ing to off the Breakwater till the rest came up. They then 

 sailed up the harbor in fine style, and brought to at their reg- 

 lar moorings after a very enjoyable and well attended cruise 

 of four days.

— We call attention to the sloop-yacht Lorelei, advertised 

 for sale in our yachting columns. She is a handy little vessel , 

 and in excellent condition. The advantage of our advertising 

 columns for the purcbase and sale of yachts of all classes is 

 self evident. This paper is read every week in the year by 

 every yachtsmeu in the country and has among them a larger 

 circulation than all other papers combined. A word to the

 by 7 wickets. During the afternoon of the second day's play, 

 Iter Royal Highness the Princess Louise and His Excellency 

 the Governor-General drove on to the ground and staid for 

 a considerable time, evincing great interest in the game. 

 Cricket is very popular in the Dominion, there being upwards 

 of forty clubs, besides a large number of school organizations, 

 all in a very flourishing condition. On this occasion neither 

 party turned out its full strength, and we miss the name of 

 that good cricketer, the Rev. Mr. Phillipps, on the side of Ot 

 tawa. The batting of both clubs was the feature of the game. 

 For the home eleven, J. W. Gordon, well known to New 

 York cricketers, s cured an excellent 35 j Gough, 31 and (not 

 out) 20; Hare, 18 and dashing (not out) 3?; and Gait, 2fi.

Penlnsulab Cricket Cltjb, of Detroit, Mich., played a 

 very enjoyable club match on Decoration Day, Sides" were 

 selected by Messrs. Calvert and Bainford, and thirty-one mem 

 bers took part in the game. Care was taken that the Btrength 

 of the players was equally divided, as the scores were to 

 count in this season's average. The grounds of this club, 

 which are said to be the best in this country, are situated in 

 Recreation Park, where eighteen acres arc employed by crick- 

 eters and ball-players. It will be remembered that a very 

 strong eleven of this alive club visited the East in July last, 

 and after a week of good cricketing returned home victorious, 

 having beaten the St. Georges and Manhattan clubs of New 

 York and the Germantown of Philadelphia. On two occa- 

 sions have Western teams visited their brother cricketers in 

 the East, and it is time that one of our crark clubs should re- 

 turn the' compliment and " Go West.'' Avery delightful and 

 quite inexpensive tour, occupying about a week's time, can be 

 made through Canada ending at Detroit, where, from what 

 we know of the jolly Western boys, a good time would be in 

 store for the excursionists. We trust to be able to record a 

 trip of this kind before the end of the season. 



Bkookltn Aboiiebt Cltjb.— The Brooklyn Archery Club 

 held their first regular field day on their grounds at Prospect 

 Park, Brooklyn, May 30. Some fine scores were made at all 

 the ranges, considering that for the first time the members at- 

 tempted long range shooting. The distances shot were 30, 

 40, 50, 00, SO and 100 yards ; 30 arrows each at each distance. 

 In the afternoon E. 1 Horsman, Esq., appeared on the grounds 

 accompanied by H. C. Carver, Esq., of Chicago, Cor. Beo'y. 

 of the National Archery Association. Mr. Carver displayed 

 his skill at the 80 and 100 yard raugeB. Hundreds of people 

 were drawn thither by the appearance of the bright targets, 

 and applauded vociferously as an arrow entered the gold. 

 Taken altogether it was a brilliant day for the members of 

 the B. A- O. They are about joiniDg the National Associa- 

 tion, and should they take part in the tournament to be held 

 at Chicago in August the Western clubs will have to look to 

 their laurels. Score— Target, 48 in.; range, 40 yds.; 30 ar-
