Detroit Yacht Club.— Detroit, Aug. 23d.— Editor 
Forest and Stream: — The Detroit Yacht Club will sail its 
second regatta on the 8th of September, Prizes as fol¬ 
lows: First class—First prize, the club challenge, flag, now 
held by the yacht Ives, and $11); second prize, $10, Sec¬

for yachts 19 feet and under—A sweepstake prize consist¬ 
ing of the entrance money. Entrance fee in first class,

Course same as sailed July 4th. The club has procured 
a set of excellent buoys with which to mark out the 
course. You will notice our prizes are all small; we do 
not get up our regattas to make money out of them, but 
to give our members a chance to get practical experience 
in handling their boats under all conditions and circum¬ 
stances, and to keep up the interest of the club and gen¬ 
eral public in the noble sport. The yacht Amy, of our 
fleet, has been On a week’s cruise in Dake St. Clair and 
St. Clair River, going as far as Port Huron, the crew 
consisting of Sami. Cowan, C, F. Hull, T. H. Chilvers, C. 
D, James, and your honorable servant, Had a delightful 
sail, and only regretted thgt the cruise could not have 
been a more extended one. The schooner Ives left for 
Buffalo yesterday morning. She was entered for the 
Union Regatta. " Ed. H. Williams, 
Secretary Detroit Yacht Club. 
San Francisco Yacht Club.— The tenth annual re¬ 
gatta was sailed Saturday. Aug. 9th, and was interesting 
especially among the larger yachts, the appearance of 
the new schooner Anhenser, Mr. Gutte, creating much 
comment. She had already beaten the Cnnsuelo once be¬ 
fore, and it remained to he seen whether her perform¬ 
ance could be repeated or not. She was in the hands of 
Captain Turner, while Stofen sailed the old favorite with 
a jib-beaded or Bermuda mainsail. As Anheuser (about 
sixty feet long) again landed the prize, both owners have 
decided to swap mainsails and try again, so as to set at 
rest the question of how much was owing to their differ¬ 
ently cut mainsails. This kind of racing spirit—sailing to 
learn something about the yachts’ qualities—is decidedly 
to be commended. Among the other craft, Pearl split 
her centreboard, and did not drop the lower half , so that 
she was decidedly in a pickle. Fawn carried away top¬ 
mast, but did not forget to beat Frolic by 30s., after all, 
and Lively did some fine work in her class. Course, 30 
miles, as usual, from Long Bridge around stakeboats off 
Hunter’s Point, Oakland bar and Fort Point, and re¬ 
turn home same way. smaller classes sailing home 
direct. Wind, fresh; tide, flood. Prizes; A flag to yacht 
making best time, irrespective of class ; silver pitcher to 
first, and marine glass to second class; barometer to 
third, and silver plate to fourth class ; a fruit stand to 
fifth and butterdish to sixth class. Regatta Committee : 
Commodore C. H. Harrison, Messrs. J. Gutte, E. O. 
Wiener, H. B. Underhill, jr.; J. M, ShotweU, _ and J, C, 
Uhler, The summary is appended 
HIRST class. 
A large number of spectators were on hand, and the 
sport of canoeing lias received another impetus which 
is certain to he productive of excellent results with the 
advent of another year. 
Cincinnati Canoe Club. —A new canoe club has been 
formed in Cincinnati, Ohio. Among the prominent mem¬ 
bers are Thos. Ambrose, Clerk XT. S. C. Court; Judge 
Longworth, of the Supreme Court; Mr. Wulsin and 
others. They have a commodious club house on the 
Ohio and hold many races, the peculiar feature of which 
is, that the winner becomes cqmmodore every time; 
hence ex-commodores are a common occurrence in the 
club. 
Mississippi Amateur Championship.— The annual race 
for the Mississippi championship brought three crews to 
the start from the Mississippi, Western and Modoc clubs. 
Course three miles down stream. After a close struggle 
the Mississippi crew won in 16m. 30s. The Modocs en¬ 
tered a protest against the winners, on the ground that 
some of them wore professionals. 
—The American Ship is the title of a new trade jour¬ 
nal now in its second half-year. It is devoted to our ex¬ 
port trade in grain, marine insurance, and kin dred inter¬ 
ests, and will find a place in that portion of the com¬ 
munity identified with our exports and carrying trade, 
both of which promise a large increase in the near future. 
— A new ferry line lias been established between Pine 
street and Hunter's Point, which very materially facili¬ 
tates travel between Wall street and points on the Long 
Island Railroad, Rockaway, Brighton, etc.

Jersey City Canoe Club.—T he first annual open re¬ 
gatta of this club was held Aug. 28th, off the Idle Hour, 
Pamrapo, N. J. Weather and wind were all that could 
be desired, and much interest was manifested in the com¬ 
parative performance of the canvas and cedar canoes. 
Tile courses from the Idle Horn- Club-house could be seen 
to perfection, and all the arrangements were carried 
out with much care under the supervision of Com. Chase 
and his aids. The classification of the canoes was es¬ 
pecially commendable, a line being drawn between “pad- 
dleable sailing canoes” and “ suitable paddling canoes,” 
to adopt some new but appropriate terms devised we 
believe by Mr. Baden Powell, of England. To the former 
class are assigned the more seagoing cruising canoes, such 
as the Shadow, Nautilus and their varieties, to the latter 
belong the Bob Boys, Bushtons, and all without sheer 
and special sailing qualities, but speedy under paddle. 
Two races were proposed for eachclass, one under sail, the 
other paddle. This classification renders something like 
satisfactory results possible, for it is manifestly as loose a 
method to compel a heavy Shadow to paddle with alight 
racing BobBoy as it is to make the latter sail in lumpy water 
with the former. The Jersey City Canoe Club has there¬ 
fore- taken a step in the right direction, and can always 
count on ample entries for its events. In the paddling 
race for sailing canoes, the entries were, Messrs. E, H, 
Ransorne, in the Ted-, R. J. Wilkin, in the Saskatchewan, 
and Com. Chas, E. Cliase in his Bubble. Course one mile 
scant. Won by Ted in 5 m. 5 s.; Saskatchewan second. 
The second race wag a paddling i-ace for paddling canoes. 
Entries : I. F, Wast, in canoes Qui Vive of the Passaic 
Canoe Club, and Mr. Tatum, in the Bart. Won by Qui 
Vive in 5 m. 29 s. The sailing course for canoes was 
over a triangular course of 2j miles, sail over twice. At 
the start, the Clochette , aline Shadow model of Mr. Wm. 
Whitlock made her appearance, her owner having paddled 
her down from Great Neck, a distance of 17 miles. Mr. 
Whitlock, hoisted sail and started with the rest, the 
Bubble, Com. Chase; Male, Carl Bergman ; Onondaga, a 
new canvas, Mr. M. Higgenbotham, and Ted, Mr. Ran- 
some. Clochette and Buddie had mainsail and dandy 
the rest a jib in addition. It was close hauled to the 
first stake, the two Shadows outpointing the rest and 
holding a better luff, With free sheets running for the 
second mark, the Mate overhauled Buddie and Clochette 
but lost her chances by making a mistake as to the course! 
Cloaheltce increased her lead, and won by 3 m. in 1 h, 
8 m, 15 s., with Mate second and Ted third, The Buddie 
withdrew. For the Baling race for paddling canoes 
the Qui Vive was the only entry and had a walk over 
pttiomil pastimes.

The International Cricket Match—United States 
vs. Canada. — This match, which had been looked for¬ 
ward to with much interest for some weeks, came off on 
the beautiful grounds attached to the Government House, 
Ottawa, on Tuesday and Wednesday, the 19th and 20th 
lusts., and resulted in a decided victory for the United 
States. It is not our intention to give a detailed 'account 
of the match, but rather to notice the more prominent 
features of the playing. At the outset we may remark 
that the team sent out by the Cricketers Association of 
the United States contained many elements of strength, 
and while some may contend that it was the strongest 
available, it certainly was far from being the strongest 
possible. After playing a practice game against a fifteen 
at Montreal on the 16th, and resting a day there, the 
eleven proceeded to Ottawa on the 1 8 th, arriving there 
at 2 p.m. and visiting the Rideau Hall Ground for prac¬ 
tice at 4 p.m. The party put up at the Russell House, and 
in their honor a hand played a choice selection on the 
Government Square, near at hand, that evening. Next 
morning the visitors were on the ground by 10 A.M., but 
it was 11 before the game began, as the Canadians had 
to elect their captain. It will thus be seen that the 
Canucks are more republican in these matters than we 
are. Whether they are more wise may well be ques¬ 
tioned. Without going the length of calling their team 
a weak one, it was disappointing to our representatives 
(who expected to meet all Canada) to find their opponents 
chosen from the Province of Ontario, while only a single 
club, and that by no means the strongest in Canada, supplied 
six of the eleven players. However, the recently elected 
generalhegan well by winning the toss, and elected to bat, 
sending Rev. T. D. Phillips and Ray, of Whitby, to face 
the bowling of C. Newhafl and Soutter. Twenty-two runs 
were scored before the first wicket (Ray’s) fell, and this 
was the best stand made by the side. Armstrong and 
Brunei likewise got double figures, the batting of the 
latter being really good. The eleven retired for 70 runs 
off the hat at 1 p,m., Dan Nevvhall, with slows, having 
taken Soutters place. Without delay Calvert and Moore 
went in. The former ran himself out very foolishly. 
Moore next succumbed, the victim of catch at point. 
With 29 on and two wickets down, an adjournment was 
had at 2 p.m. for lunch. The commodious lunch-room 
deserves more than a passing notice. The decorations 
were elegant and of a character to please the visitors, 
while the repast itself was creditable to the skill of the 
caterer. On res umin g the game Brewster and Clay made 
tilings very lively, though it is but fair to add that the 
latter was indebted for his 35 to the softness of the 
Canadian palm —vide Fitzgerald’s “Wickets in the 
West” — for three catches were badly missed. Brophy 
(medium round-arm) and Hall (slow) had now superseded 
Brodie and Brunei, the latter being out of condition. 
The two howlers were very effective, notably Brophy, 
who clean-bowled Clapt. Dan" and Bailey on two successive 
balls. In spite of then’ other misfortunes the Canadians 
certainly had the luck oil their side, and in explanation 
of their cutting down so strong a team for 108 it must be 
borne in mind that three of the ten wickets were eases of 
suicide. The Canadian fielding, with one or two notable 
exceptions, was fan’. With 28 to the bad they resumed 
their inni ngs at 4} p.m., and by 6 p.m., when the stumps 
were drawn, they had lost nine wickets for 78—being a 
somewhat better record in this respect, that they scored 
more off the hat. The batting of Armstrong, Orillia, 
Hall, Port Hope, and Smith, Ottawa, alone redeemed the 
side. The 29 of the first named was obtained by de¬ 
cidedly the best hitting of the match, and included two 
sixes. The Newhalls bowled throughout. A large num¬ 
ber of spectators, about 1,000, witnessed the afternoon’s 
play, thus enlivening a scene which was in other respects 
rendered attractive by being dotted here and there with 
marques, scoring-tents, flags, &c. But irrespective of 
these artistic adornments, the natural picturesqueness of 
the place is very inviting. The music of the band of the 
Governor-General’s Foot Guards was by no means the 
most trivial attraction of the afternoon. In the evening 
a pleasant three hours was spent on the Ottawa, the local 
committee having chartered the splendid steamer Peerless 
for a complimentary excursion to Buckingham and back, 
On the programme were dancing, music and refresh¬ 
ments. 
Wednesday opened auspiciously. It was a day even 
more suited to cricket than the preceding. The Canadian 
not-outs were disposed of in four balls for as mauy runs, 
obtained by a leg hit. The Americans had now to make 
60 to win, and it was expected that the captain, whose 
generalship throughout was excellent, would endeavor 
to get these with the loss of as few wickets as possible. 
But he seems to have acted on the principle of sending in 
those men who had not scored in the first innings; or it 
may have been, as suggested by a contemporary, that he 
wished to let his opponents down easily. At any rate, five 
wickets fell before Moore made the winning hit of 3, and 
by 1 p.m. the United States had scored another victory 
over Canada, or rather over one Province of the Do¬ 
minion. Messrs. Green, of Philadelphia, and Benjamin, 
of Ottawa, gave satisfaction with their decisions as um¬ 
pires. 
On the whole the Canadians bore their defeat philo¬ 
sophically, consoling themselves with the reflection that 
had thej r not been disappointed in their expectation of 
men from Hamilton, Toronto, Montreal and Halifax they 
would have given a still better account of themselves- 
They are to be commended for the courage and even 
pluck with which they played a manifestly up-hill game. 
Most of the visiting Americans returned via Q., M., O. & 
O. Railway (by which they had gone to Ottawa) through 
Montreal. They seem to "have enjoyed the trip, and to 
have shown our northern neighbors how much strength 
may be evolved from harmony and good management— 
elements in which, by all accounts, the visited are some¬ 
what deficient. The "following is the full score : —
