the Liglxti annua! regatta of this club was not brought to a 

 |t will be retailed at a future date. 



PBrtiMJELPHli Yactt Ci.cn.— The seventh annual regatta 



of this club was sailed June 16, from Shackamaxna street 



E to Delation finny ami return, a course of over twtnry 



mile*. The bnatB of this club are divided into three classes, 



llrvwe;: Firfit filasa— Willi* SMnz, George Jlqff, Kite 



BnUVy, Thou. r,;itt. (ho. F. Smith, EntiniMc. Anna, Ate- 



OOrmick Mary A.BlatTc Snyder, A *hton md Nettie. Second 



Class— ZfoWeiY, Clara, Fears Ohat Abel, Mulville, Martin, 



Curren, Leary, Gen, Lucia Gilbert and Enchantress. Third 



class- I :. Disston, Thacher, Geneva, 



lild.tbra.nt, Allen, TJlmtr, 



Cniirf./rd. Nugent, Burdge, Leatherbury and 



Thos. U Martin, At 10:30 a. m , the third class boats were 



started with a spanking breeze from southwest,. At 10:45 the 



second class bonis gol away, and, fifteen minutes lat-r, off flew 



those of tbe Bret class, and in a few minutes the entire river, 



as fur as the eye could see to the northward, was dotted with 



the white sails of these bPautiful little crafts. At Five-mile 



P"iut the Zv Mile led tbe fleet of her class. At Bridesburg the 



upset, and at Tacony the Nugent followed suit. Off 



the House of Correction the ffojt cairied away her throat 



halliards and gave up the race, t'hr KUinz rounded Delanco 



Buoy at 12:25, and the Entmslle, 12:28; Asfiton, 12:2ft; 



'7/. 12:'.'£4. The run down was made against a heavy 



head wind and strong flood tide ; the sea in man)' instances 



breaking entirely over the boats and half filling them, and it 



required the utmost exertions to beep them from swamping. 



The Klnnz (the old Smoky Hollow champion) passed the 

 home Blake-boat first, at 3:37 ; the Anna, 2:43. The Entwis- 

 tie upset a lew yards from the stake-boat, and the Ashton 

 came in third. "Of the second class boats, the Enchantress 

 came in first at. 2:35 ; Abel, 2:43. Third class, Crawford, 

 3:17; Kin/:, 2:18J. The judges were Win. Kirk, Uhris. 

 rimer and Amos Jones. The prizes were a silver pitcher 

 aud silver cake and fruit basket combined, to the first and 

 second boats of each class. 



Chbstke (Pa . ) Regatta. —This regatta, sailed from Chester 

 June 16, was most successful. There were five classes of

 Bvterpe, Sallie and Annie, Maggie, Vixen, Foam, Melissa, 

 Emma C. aud Bella I). King. Fifth Class— Free to all— 

 .Pioneer, Nautilus, Rebecca, Mignon, Lula and JBolus. This 

 fleet had all the wind they required, and bowled over the 

 course from Edgemonl avenue pier, Chester, to a buoy off 

 Cherry Island flats, and return, a distance of about thirty 

 miles. The boats got away at 11 :45. The first prize for 

 first class boats, champion flag, was won by the Minerva; 

 lime, 3:19. Second prize by the White Wine/, 3:26. The

 flag ; second prize, anchor, marine glass or rigging lamp. 

 The judges were I. J. Amies, of Chester, and William Post 

 and John McCaulley of Philadelphia. 



Seawanhaka Yacht Club. — Coston night signals have 

 been adopted. Club lights will be red and blue lights in 

 succession. 



NKwnrrtiTOKT Yacht Club. — Tbe second annual regatta 

 of this club was sailed June 17 in a fresh breeze from the N. 

 All went away with booms to starboard, the run out and 

 home being w tth sheets lifted. Videlte rounded the seaward 

 mark first, but sprung her board and lost her chances. 

 Clytie, Com. Thompson's new craft, got away with all in her 

 class and in the third. The Blanche was sailed by Mr. 

 Lewis A. Hortou, a gentleman who has lost both arms in 

 the service of his country. In this class Keturah had things 

 her own WHy. A hop in the evening brought mat'ers to a 

 pleasant close. We append our correspondent's summary, 

 with the lengths given on water line :

ing the course. As a matter of course, one yacht, which 

 acted as stake-boat, ignominiously capsized. A rScein Ameri- 

 can waters without some such evidence of thedeplorable con- 

 dition of yacht, modeling in our country is becoming the ex- 

 ception. 



Havkb (France) International Match. —The Societe dts 

 Begates rfw Hum-e will Siil their annual international matches 

 off Havre. July 7; course about 30 miles. No American 

 yachts have been entered according to our latest advices, and 

 so the prizes among the larger classes will probably all go 

 across to till British lockers with ample plate and British 

 hearts with naiional pride. It iB just possible that Sappho 

 under the Italian ensign of Prince Sciarra may be found at 

 the line, for she has been out on the ways at Cowea for an 

 overhauling. 



:n Yacht Club. — The twelfth annual regatta of 

 this thriving Corinthian club was sailed June 23 over the new 

 triangular course visible from club house, as announced be- 

 fore in these columns. Course to be sailed three times over, 

 distance 15 miles; corinthian rules in force. Wind light and 

 variable from S. W. till latter cart of race. During the match 

 Spray, Rambler, Katie and Vida gave up, and afteT a pleas- 

 ant but uneventful race the floish'was made as under.

Chicago Yaoht Club.— Tbe annual regatta of the Chicago 

 Y. C. was sailed June 14. The management of the match 

 does not seem to be of the best, but allowance must be made 



r i, perience. There were no entries in the first class, 

 and the expectation of close work between Grayhound and 

 Vara were not fulfilled. Courses for the four classes, fifteen, 

 twelve, nine and six miles out into the lake and return, 

 hike-boat on port hand. It was a beat out to 

 the weather mark, and a free wind from the northwest 

 home. Ina and Frulie made a long stretch alongshore 

 to the southward and failed to find the wind. Tbe little fel- 

 lows made short boards out into the Lake and gradually 

 worked inlo a nice wholesome breeze to their advantage. 

 The two big sloops made a very close tace all the way out, 

 Kiolit: finally planting herself on the weather of McGiehan's 

 famous model and rounding the mark witn a .ead of lm. 50s. 

 Ina made a close turn but was slower setting her light duds 

 for the run home with lifted sheets. After a very exciting 

 stern chase the two big ones felched in as follows : Ina, 5h. 

 4m. 20s., and frolic, oh. 4m. 50s., making their actual sailing 

 times, 3h. 37m. lis. and 3h. 37m. 32s. respectively. Ina al- 

 lows Frolie lm. 45s., therefore the latter wins first prize, $50, 

 by lm. 24s., and Ina pockets second, $25. Of the third 

 class yachts, PerU rounded the stake first with Goodenough, 

 Little Buttereup and Zephyr close aboard, this order being 

 maintained on the run down the wind. Peri takes first prize 

 and Goodenough second, valued at $40 and $20. In the 

 fourth class the judges deelared no^ac#,;only one boat tnak- 



Slart.

Atlantic Yacht Clcb.— Quite a fleetof this club has been 

 cruising East during the past fortnight, partly with the inten- 

 tion of being present at the great 'Varsity Pace at New Lon- 

 don, and partly for the purpose of meeting the Eastern yachts 

 during their stay in the Sound. There were nearly a hundred 

 yachts of all kinds collected in New London waters, from the 

 big schooners of the E. Y. 0. down to the small cabin craft of 

 local celebrity only. A conference between the yachts of the 

 Atlantic Y. C. aud those of the Eastern Y. 0. brought about 

 a race on J uly 28, from New London to Greenport, which 

 proved quite an interesting affair. Following conditions agreed 

 to : Course, fromPtquot Bouse dork, New London, to stake- 

 boat of Manhasset House, Shelter Island, harbor of Green- 

 port. Start, flying, first gun at 10 a. m., and second guu the 

 signal for starting ; ten minutes later the time of each yacht, 

 to he taken as it passes the imaginary line, and any yacht not. 

 crossing within fifteen minutes after the second gun to be 

 handicapped. Anchors, chains andboats to be in their usual 

 places. Schooners to use working sails only, including raain- 

 topmnst staysails j sloops to use their regular working sails. 

 The entrance fee to be $ 15 for schooners and $0 for sloops. 

 The winner in each class to be awarded the sweepstakes. 

 First class schooners, 80ft. and over on the water line; second 

 class schooners, under fcOft. ; first class sloops, 55ft. and over, 

 and second class sloops, under 55ft. Time allowance to be 

 baseil on the Eastern Yacht Club measurement. 



Wind light and baffling from S W. until near the end of 

 the course, when the racers ran into a fresh sou'wester and 

 got all they wanted. Intrepid did exceedingly well, out-sail- 

 ing the whole pack, centre-boards and all, until near the finish 

 in Gardiner's Bay, where her bowsprit went short aft at the 

 stem. So much for carrying a jib out to bowsprit end on so 

 large a craft instead of reeving off a forestay. But for this 

 accident Intrepid would have scored a great victory, more 

 particularly considering the light weather during the greater 

 part of the day. The cutter Enterprise showedsome fine sail- 

 ing, and though she parted peak halliards, scored a good 

 secjnd, with only Winsome ahea 1 of hi r on time, and a fleet of 

 centre-boards in ber wake. Such performances must surely 

 astonish some of the Bourbons, who think nothing can sail 

 that has not a fin amidships. The old Phantom showed the 

 stuff she has in her lauding for her new owner a first prize, 

 with time to spare. If Mr. Hovey will only rebuild Phantom 

 on her present lines, for we understand she is badly rotten, 

 he will have one of the fastest fair weather schooners ever 

 built. Peerless ripped her jib and was thereby thrown out 

 near the finish, but she did enough alongside of the Boston 

 schooners to show that she is fast even when sailing with 

 other than her usual customers in New York harbor. En- 

 tries as follows:

The time calculated upon water line measurement made 

 Intrepid allow Atalanta lm. 26s., allows Phantom 4m. 39s., 

 and Foam Cm. 47s. Of the second class schooners Pterins 

 allowed Azalea 3m. 27s., and Agnes 7m. 10s. Of sloops, 

 Jlegina allowed Enterprise 3m. 2s., allowed Winsome 4tn 

 50a., allowed Schemer 9m. lis., and Nimbus 14m. 6s. The 

 tug Wellington was chartered to go over the course and act 

 as judges' boat. Intrepid got a late start, owiDg to fouling 

 the sloop Romance, but caught the fleet in fine style. Once 

 out of the harbor, the fleet cast in all directions in obedience 

 to tbe variable wiud and in search of luck. Peerless, Ata- 

 lanta and Azalea went south after more wind, and were con- 

 sequently left to leeward when the S.W. blow came on. 

 Kails were put in, and a slashing breeze sent all through the 

 Gut, with Intrepid in tbe lead, Phantom, Foam and Agnes 

 following. Off the fish houses on Long Beach Intrepid car- 

 ried away her bowsprit, and had to anchor to clear the 

 wreck, after which she was towed up the harbor. Enterprise 

 parted peak halliards, and thus lost the race to Winsome. Tbe 

 Iliyina and Winsome lost a man each, but managed to pick 

 them up again. Sloops are rough on their crews in a snap- 

 pish sea, and life liDes should be rove off around the quarter. 

 Winsome also took a knock-down, another awkward pecu- 

 liarity of our river models, but she fortunately came out of it, 

 masthead up. Fine boats to go to sea in! Yet there are in- 



dividuals who maintain that our frying pans are the best at- 

 tainable in the way of yacht design! The summary is ap- 

 pended :

Phantom, Agnes and Wmsome lake the sweepstakes in their 

 class. The latest "cross-bones" from Herresl.otFa ingenious 

 hands, the catamaran Goodie-Two- S/wcs, sailed across with 

 Tarantella, of New York, and got in with the rest of the 

 yachts, escaping the most of the blow. The yachts of tbe 

 Eastern Y. C. left Greenport, June 29, for Newport, to join tie 

 rest of the squadron which did not take part in the race 

 across. They will then proceed to Vineyard Haven and dis- 

 band. The Atlantic fleet put for the West. 



DoKonttBTgR Yacht Ci.un.— The forty-eighth regatta of 

 this club was sailed June 28, off commercial Point, Boston. 

 Being the first of a series of three championship matches, the 

 entries were confined to yachts cf the club and club rules in 

 force. No second class boats came to the hue. Course for 

 first class centre-boards and keels : Down the bay, leaving 

 Cow Pasture Bar Buoy on tbe port ; Buoy No. 7 on the star- 

 board; Spectacle Island on the port ; Sculpin Ledge Buoy on 

 the port; Red Buoy No. 6 on the lower middle, on the port ; 

 Cow Pasture Bar Buo> on the starboard, to the judges' yacht 

 —9^- miles. Course for third and fourth classes: Down the 

 bay, leaving Half Tide Rock on the port : Old Harbor Buoy

THE UNIVERSITY RACE -OF '79. 



Thames Cotjese, New Lokdom, djnus 27. 



IN spite of the prevailing impression that this year's Uni- 

 versity Race between the eight-oared crews of Harvard 

 and Yale would be a more closely contested pull than last 

 year's, the contrary has turned out to be the case, Harvard 

 winning easier even than in '78, scoriDg for the Cambridge 

 crimson the fifteenth victory in the nineteenth race of the 

 two universities. 



A brisk S.W. wind ruffled the surface of the Thames, but 

 not enough to interfere with good time, which, however, was 

 not made. The race was postponed by request of Yale from 

 4:30 to 6 p. m., in the hope of attaining smoother water. 

 Professor Agassiz, as umpire, brought the crews to the start, 

 Harvard responding first, but a fresh and damp squall sent 

 them back to their boat-houses. It was not until a quarter of 

 Beven that Harvard again launched, with Yale a few minutes 

 later. Mr. Fuller, the strobe of the latter, in getting aboard 

 slipped and split the bottom of their shell, which had to be 

 placed on the trestles for repairs, while the crimsons sat 

 naked to the waist in their shell at the start. It was not un- 

 til sunset that both crews announced their readiness, Yale 

 having stripped the wash-boards from her boat, as the water 

 had become comparatively smooth again. Harvard won the 

 toss, and took the western side of the course, while Yale to 

 the east got a little more of the wind. Yale got away the 

 best, both crews pulling 10, but at Ihe quarter-mile the Cam- 

 bridge boat shot out ahead, and at the half-mile had a lead of 

 a length with an easy stroke of 36. At the mile there was 

 four lengths between them, which continued to increase in 

 spite of a spurt from Yale. At two miles Harvard had ten 

 lengths to spare, Yale slowing down to 32. At thi 

 Harvard was almost out of sight in the dusk, and finally 

 spurting up to 87, crossed the line just as they liked. Tune 1 

 Harvard, one mile, 5m. 39^8.; two miles, 11m. l^s.; three
