 extensive cruise to Lake Superior, and it is reported that 

 the Countess of Dufferin may be bought for Chicago

 ing spreading. 



Toledo Yacht Club. — The first regular annual 

 regatta of this new club was sailed in Maumee Bay, Ohio. 

 July 13. Wind light from N. ; course from the Columbu, 

 dock to the black can buoy, thence around Turtle Island 

 and return, distance 22 miles. The following yachts 

 came to the start : Stella, Commodore Arthur L. Smith ; 

 Idler, Perue ; Red Ribbon, Jung ; Ada, Hepburn. Time 

 allowance, apparently based upon size and sail area as 

 follows: Stella allows Red Ribbon 8m., Ada 13m. and 

 Idler 1 m. The fleet got away at the first gun at 12 h. 

 8 m. ; the Ribbon getting off with the lead. Turtle Island 

 was rounded by Ribbon, Stella, Ada and letter in the 

 order named, whence all eased sheets for the run home 

 and set, kites below and aloft. The finish was fetched by 

 Stella at 5h. 55m.; Red Ribbon at6h., Ada 6h. 15m. 80s. 

 and letter fih. 38m, Red Ribbon therefore takes first prize 

 on time and Stella second. 



Cohill-Norckoss Match.— The Chas. Cohill and Josie 

 Norcross of the Coopers Point Yacht Club, sailed a match 

 July 14, on the Delaware for a purse of $25. Course, from 

 Coopers Point to the Horseshoe buoy and return. Both 

 made a close turn of the lower mark, and then lightened 

 ballast as the wind fell on the home stretch. The yachts 

 finally crossed the line so even that Capt. R. G. Wilkins, 

 the judge, declared the race a dead heat, and decided to 

 sail the match over again hi August. 



Neenah (Wis.) Yacht Club. — The annual regatta of 

 this club was sailed over a 12 mile course, July 5, Carrie

The Cutters Beauty. — Even the New York Herald 

 is compelled to acknowledge the beauty of the cutter, and 

 this is the way it pays tribute to the most graceful and 

 thoroughbred' there' is among all types of yachts : The 

 cutter rig with all its light sails is certainly very pic- 

 turesque, "and the Muriel would strike even an uncorin- 

 thian, eye a* a, most beautiful sight when under way.

 the wind and some distance ahead of Halcyon ; she had 

 run round the shore in an arc. covering much more water 

 than the others but holding a good breeze all the way.

Sylph took a long stretch in shore on the starboard, 

 tack and then beat up the shore for some distance, 

 holdinc a laud breeze, the others making a short stretch 

 in but"* tacking before reaching Minots' Light. Halcyon 

 forereached and weathered Phantom from the instant 



Foerm broke tacks with the others and stood in toward 

 the shore, where she seemed to gel i1 lighter than the 

 others; Fearless took a long tack to the North-et I i 

 at once 1 iegan to show her customary wonderful power 

 to windward. 



From Davis' Ledge to Egg Rock is 1-2$ miles, and was 

 almost dead to wmdward; Haleyon gained gradually 

 and took a good lead, but as they approached the North 

 shore. Phantom was seen to be to windward> and when 

 they ■ round on the starboard tack and headed for 



Egg Rock, she was a length or two ahead. In a mmute 



or two a fresher breeze off the land, and Halcyon 



ran through ' ippoS oJ . lee, only to see the latter 



get a pun shortly after, and run into the lead again, 

 this time the Rear Commodore kept what lie got, and 

 although Halcyon gained in turning Egg Hock, and a 

 little on the E Phantc • hi 



home Una first at - . ■ . within the 



time limit. Halcyon, however, was close behind and 

 crossed at 6:36.7, but eighty^eveh seconds behind, and as 

 her opponent had to allow- her four minutes, the prize 

 goes to 'he usual resting y>\a.c.e in Halcyon s plats locker 

 Phantom taking second 



The third boat in was that really wonderful little wind 

 jammer, Fearless, wdio boat the whole fleet with allow- 

 ance, Though 19 minutes behind Sylph at Davis Ledge.

 Enterprise sailed" beautifully and astonished the lookers 

 on who expected to see Madcap win in the light wind. 

 Enterprise and Fearless take first and Si/lph second prize 

 in their classes. 



The small boats started at. 11:40, and held a good 

 strong breeze over the entire course, being frequently 

 rail under. Their Bourse lay along shore, which explains 



this. Dream and Effle ran away from the othi . 



landed first prizes : the others after a close . 

 in witli Hermes leading, Lorterer :-o\d Ariadne, leading 

 Violet'. Hermes gets a second prize ; but as Violet is 

 only hired from Mr. Whiting of the Berverly Yacht 

 Club, she does not come within the rules of bhi lei'. 

 and so she could not take a prize : does not count as 



an entry; leaving two regular entries only, and ii o I
