YACHTING NEWS. 



The New Harbor.— The Atlantic Y, C. is displaying something 

 like the enterprise we like to Bee. It is alive and kicking. Not a 

 ■e outline organization, like many another large club, suffi- 

 cient nnto themselves in their sleepy seclusion. The fleet fly- 

 ing tho white and red diagonal iB growing apace, and now num- 

 bers nearly fifty yachts ; among them the smartest of their ton- 

 nage, and nearly all of a size out of which sport of the real sort 

 can be had. The new club house, with surrounding grounds and 

 the breakwater, are now in the hands of contractors, and the 

 work will he pushed. The property is located at the foot of 

 Fifty-sixth street, South Brooklyn, and has a water front of 375 

 feet, extending back to First avenue, about the same distance 

 aud 1,500 feet, out in the bay to the pier headline. A long break- 

 water will be built MM feet from shore, affording a line sheltered 

 harbor for smaller craft, with excellent holding ground. The 

 Bay Ridge ferry and the cars from the Brooklyn side afford com- 

 munication. There is little doubt but what the neighborhood of 

 Bay Ridge Pier will be chosen for the moorings of the great 

 yacht fleets of the future, as New York Bay is very poorly 

 off for other harbors. And when the day comes, that the 

 forest of masts off the pier is as thick as they are off 

 Cowes, and the sun cannot be seen for their number, and 

 skippers have to hunt for their craft in the crowd, then will 

 the Atlantios reap their reward, and gather under their colors 

 What may become the finest and largest fleet of yachts that ever 

 owed allegiance to one set of flag officers. They have the chance, 

 let us see if they know how to make the most of it, While one 

 olub has been debating the advisability of resolving themselves 

 into a jolly good spree, and another has been making rather faint- 

 hearted efforts at securing a club house or (headquarters, Jand a
