Yachting in the Mediterranean. — We hear upon 

 good authority that the Bank of Monte Carlo intend offer- 

 ing prizes to the amount of 100,000 francs (£4,000) for 

 prizes to be sailed for by yachts of all nations next Spring 

 at Nice. The Sappho (which has been sold to Prince 

 Schiarra) will be probably one of the competitors; and as 

 the Enchantress (Mr. Loubat) will Winter in the Mediter- 

 ranean, she, too, probably will compete. We do not know 

 to what extent English yachting will be represented, bnt 

 we trust that some good vessels from our yards will be 

 there to break lances with the American-built craft. The 

 Livonia, we believe, will spend the Winter up the Straits, 

 and she, although not good enough to tackle the Sappho, 

 might'take something out of the Enchantress. But what 

 we should like to see— and no doubt the authorities at Nice 

 would like to see the same — would be a whole fleet of 

 crack racing vessels appear on the spot to meet the two 

 large American-built craft. There should be the Guine- 

 vere, the Centonia, the Kriembilda and Florinda, and as 

 many more as could be induced to go. The £4,000 would 

 make a certain bullion freight home, and all expenses 

 would be paid by winning the magnificent prizes.— London

THE SCHUYLKILL NAVY REGATTA. 



Philadelphia, September 18th, 1875, 

 Editor Forest and Stream :— 



The Pall regatta of the Schuylkill Navy is over and the prizes distrib- 

 uted; the winners satisfied, and losers left, to talk over how "it might 

 have been if—-" The water could not have been better, the attendance 

 moderately good, and the entiies more than usually numerous, all the 

 clubs of the navy being represented except the West Philadelphia Club. 

 The racing was not above the average, rather below, the chief excitement 

 being tiie struggle in single sculls and for second place in the four-oared 

 shells. Holsmau, of the University, showed up better than very well, 

 and proved himself not only a goer but a stayer. Young and very 

 slight, he does not look a match for a well seasoned sculler, but he made 

 his opponents row hard all the way to the finish. 



Umpire— Com. James M. Ferguson. Timekeepers— Vice Com. John 

 Hockley, Jr., E. S. Miles. 



The four-oared shells rowed from the Falls to Rockland, one and* a half 

 miles straightaway, while the other races were from Rockland around 

 stakeboats off Laurel Hill, one mile and return. At 3:10 the double 

 sculls started. 



Malta Boat Club—D. Townsend, s'roke; W. Trimble, bow; position, 

 east. 



Crescent— Geo . Milliken, Jr., stroke; Geo. W. Young, bow. 



Tne Crescent crew won almost as they liked, going to the front from 

 the start, turning the stake in 7 min. 10 sec, with a lead of twenty sec- 

 onds, and won in 14 min. 56f- sec. Malta, 15 min. 53 sec. 

 single scull race. 



University Boat Club— J. M. Holsman, east. Quaker Oily— John D. 

 McBeath, centre. Pennsylvania- -W . G. Thomas, west. 



Thomas went to the front at once, with the University man pressing 

 him hard. Off Berky's clearing all three were close together, and all 

 keeping too far to the west, and to round the stakes had to alter their 

 course, ?. heavy disadvantage to the eastern boat. Coming down Thomas 

 lead to the head of the island, but showing distress. McBeath put on 

 steam, took a lead, and came in winner in 15 min. 24 sec. Holsman, ap- 

 parently fresh, was overhauling Thomas hand over hand, but there 

 wasn't quite distance enouga to close up the gap, and when the flag 

 dropped he was still half a length behind. The timekeeper gave the 

 time: Thomas 15 min. 28 sec. ; Holsmtn 15 min. 32 sec. 



SIX-OAKEO BABGE RACE. 



Malta Boat Club—C. F. Gieler, stroke; J. F. Dunton, W. T. L. 

 Warthman, P. F. Schemm, E. lllman, S. B. Haddock, bow; W. F. 

 Warthman, coxswain; east. 



Pennsylvania— A. Kappes, stroke; F. Street, Emil Herline, Ed. Her- 

 line, Pt. T. Middleton, H. Hutchinson, bow; R. H. B. Faimiau, cox- 

 swain: centre. 



Crescent--^. R. Harrison, stroke; A. Spering, George Milliken, Jr., 

 H. W. Terry, George W. Young, C. E. Steel, bow; U. K. Hinchman' 

 coxswain. 



The Malta lead off, but before the boats had passed Tom Moore's cot- 

 tage the Crescenls were in front, and the Pennsylvania dropping hope- 

 lessly to the roar. The Crescents turned in 6 min. 40 sec; Malta in fi 

 min 50 sec. , and Pennsylvania in 7 min . 8 sec. They came home i n t be 

 same order, Crescents in 14 min. 11 sec. ; Malta, 14 min. .22 sec. : Penn- 

 sylvania, no time taken. 



FOUK-OAUEO GIG RACE. 



Crescent -II. K. Hinchman, stroke; C. P. Ta?kei, H. F. Witmcr, W. 

 C. Jones, bow; G. E. Steel, coxswain; east. 



Ten nsylowrda— John Lavens, Jr., H. Conrad, Max Schmitt, Thomas 

 Massey, bow; R. II. B. Fairman, coxswain; centre. 



Quaker City—C. R. Adams, stroke; Samuel Goimley, J. B. Ferguson, 

 C. S. Wise, bow; Geo. W. Parker, coxswain ; west. 



Tne Crescents lead at the head of the island, but were soon passed by 

 the Quakers, the race then becoming a procession: Quaker City, 14 njin. 

 13£sec; Crescent, 14 min. 34£sec; Pennsylvania, 14 min. 50| sec. 



The pair-oared shell race was between two crews from the Philadelphia 

 Club, one of which merely entered to make a race, with no hope of win- 

 ning: C. V. Grant, stroke, ana J. B. Taylor, bow; J. M. Taylor, stroke, 

 CM. Lee, bow. Grant and Taylor pulling in beautiful shape, paddled 

 over in 16 min. 5 sec. 



FOUR OARED SHELL RACE. 



Undine— John R. Baker, Jr., stroke; \V. C. Madeira, C. K. Barns, J. 

 N. Be Haven, bow; west. 



College— W. H. Ad dicks, stroke; Benj. Nicol, Richard Hall,. John Ely, 

 bow; centre. 



Quaker City— J . D. McBeath, stroke; O. F. West, F. M. Henderson, 

 S. Stinson, bow; east. 



The College Club jumped off with a clear lead, but at Laurel Hill the 

 boats were almost level. The Undines were well over toward the tow- 

 path, and had to comeout from behind a canal boat. The College crew 

 were pressing in close, and the two got their oars considerably mixed. 

 The Quakers now went to a lead of a couple of lengths, and left their 

 opponants to fight it out for second place; and a hot fight it was. From 

 the willows to the island the Undine had three-fourths of a length. 

 Along the island the boats were level, and at the foot of the island both 

 crews spurted for the lead, and again the oars clashed. The College 

 crew crme out of the struggle with a few feet in front, and the boats 

 came in, the Quakers in 9 min. 10* sec; College in min. 2(j£sec; 

 Crescent, 9 min. 27 sec. Claims of foal were made, but the umpire de- 

 cided that the boats should be placed as they came in. 



After the race the prizes were presented to the winners, the Quakers 

 taking the championship flags for four-oared shells, four-oared gigs, and 

 singles, rather a large proportion. Special flags were presented for each 

 winning boat. The winning oarsmen each received a handsome gold 

 medal. Silver cups were given to the winners of the stx-oared barges,- 

 four-oared gigs, and four-oared shells. Sculls. 



Philadelphia, Sept. 20th, 1375. 

 Editor Forest and Stream .— 



The Fall Regatta is, as a general thing, the virtual end of the boating 

 season here, but this year bids fair to be an exception. There is a sin- 

 gle scull race on between George Miliken, of the Crescents, and the oft- 

 defeated Frank Pleasontou, formerly of the Bachelors, but late of the 

 Quaker Cltys, later of the Vespers, and latest the Quaker Citys again. If 

 Flip's skill did but equal his pluck and perseverence-and I hope it will, 

 eventually— he would be a great sculler. Captain Nicolis, of the Prince- 

 ton Rowing Association, who rowed two in the College crew on Saturday, 

 has, on their behalf, sent a challenge to the Schuylkill Navy to row them 

 a race on the 9oh of Ootober. If the challenge was put into a lntle diff- 

 erent shape it is very likely it would be accepted; but as it stands, it is 

 more like an invitation for the nauy to hold an open regatta in the Fall. 

 There v\ as an open regatta in June last, and probably will be in the suc- 

 ceeding Junes for some years. By vva> of rarity there is to be a swimming 

 match on Saturday next, open to all members of the navy; one mile 

 straightaway, on Flat Rock Bam. Handsome prizes for first and second 

 will be offered, and the entry promises to be^ large. There may possi- 

 bly be a Schuylkill-Nassau race yet this season; but there are so many 

 contingencies in the way that I think it doubtful. Sculls,

 To the Secretary of the Schuylkill Naty:— 



Dear Sir— in behalf of the Princeton Rowing Association, I hereby 

 challenge the Schuylkill Navy (intending to include the Vesper Club) of 

 Philadelphia to a four-oared shell race over the national course to be 

 rowed October 9th, subject to amateur's rules. The said race to 'form a 

 regatta for all crews that may choose to euter from the several clubs. 



We leave the question of the prizes to the discretion of the Schujlkill 

 Navy, the expense to be borne equally by -the entering clubs

THE GREAT CRIC KET TOURNAMENT 



[fboji our own correspondent.] 

 The tournament is drawing to a close and it well merits 

 the title of the Great Cricket Tournament. It more than 

 bears out our prophecy of last week that it would ] )e /'/,'* 

 event in the cricket history of this country, teller \ U( ][ 

 vidua! players may have been seen, but for general all." 

 around play, it has beeu the finest exhibition ever wjr 

 nessed on this side of the Atlantic, and is worthy of the 

 cricket headquarters of America, which this city 'certainly 

 is. There is no flattery in saying that the management has 

 been above criticism, and every Philadelphia!! should feel' 

 grateful to the committees and Jt.o every member of \\ ]( , 

 Philadelphia clubs for the able manner in which they have 

 susta ined the refutation of our city for hospitality. 



Lovers of athletic sport, particularly those who' devote 

 their time and energy to its promotion, can but feel en- 

 couraged by the audiences that have added interest to 

 each of the matches. No small feature of the week has 

 been the constancy of the ladies in their attendance, and 

 tlve grand stand (which resembles the parquette on opera 

 nights) is a strong rival of the field in' its attractions. The 

 grounds, which are al! that could be desired, both for (he 

 accommodation of players and spectators, have been in ex 

 cedent condition, and except Thursday there has been 

 2;ood cricket weather. The first match, 'Canada vs. Phila- 

 delphia, part of which was reported in last week's issue 

 was concluded on Wednesday, and resulte ! in a splendid 

 victory for the Philadelphia team. The fielding of the 

 home players was excellent, and kept the score of the 

 Canadians down close, the}'- making only 68 in the first 

 and 7G in the second inning, Dan Newhall taking in the 

 first 5 wickets in 4 overs, one of which was a maiden for 

 12 rnns. Meade took 8 wickets in the second for 20 runs 

 olf 78 balls, and nine maiden overs. The following is the 

 full score of this meeting: —

Immediately after the the close of the first match the

 interrupted on Thursday by the rain, and was not com- 

 pleted until afternoon on Saturday. 



The strong batting of the Officers more than compen- 

 sated for the weakness at bowling, an d occasional loose- 

 ness in the field. Although the Canadians ran up their 

 score to 1G7 in tlie second innings, they found themselves 

 with over 60 runs to get, and no way to get them. The fol- 

 lowing is the score: —
