Yachts Designed. —As will be seen from our adver¬ 
tising columns, Mr. Philip Elsworth proposes to model 
a,nd design yachts for the public generally. It is hardly 
necessary to point to his well-known achievements in 
the Comet, Elephant and other fast craft, for evidence of 
Ms capacities in this direction, as the speed of his vessels 
is well known wherever races are sailed. Parties desiring 
fast and able yachts can do no better than apply to him.

Cleveland (Ohio) Yachting Association.— The an¬ 
nual regatta of this flourishing club was sailed September 
10th, at Cleveland in a strong gaff-topsail breeze from N. 
W. Course from line drawn from judge’s boat to East 
Pier, to stake boat off Wilson Avenue, thence to stake 
boat five miles off the piers, thence around “Crib,” and 
home, fifteen miles. Fying start with fifteen minutes 
grace. One hand to every five feet of length; no 
shifting of ballast, and no restriction to sails. Six prizes 
were offered, as many local boats were expected to enter. 
Coin. Gardner and Yice-Com. Merchant were aboard the 
judge’s yacht Rosaline, and started the race promptly on 
time. The whole fleet made an excellent start in the 
following order: Unique, Lady Ida , Humming Bird, 
Camilla, Ida, Nettie, Vixen, Silver Spray, and Kittie 
Walsh. Vixen took the lead around the first mark, with 
Ida second and the Bird third, after a four mile beat to 
windward. With a quartering wind the fleet made for 
the second mark, about four miles distance. It was a 
case of kites with the big ones, but the rest had all they 
wanted under lower sails. Vixen rounded first, with Ida 
second and Bird close aboard. Out to the Crib it was a 
hot fight between the leaders, who by this time had 
tailed company with the ruck. Vixen still held her 
ead, and was away first on the home stretch; Ida 
second. The finish was reached as under:—

The Catboat Championship.—A match, open to all 
catboats twenty feet and under in Boston waters, was 
sailod Sept. 10th, with seven entries, for a sweepstakes 
of S5 a boat, to decide the claims to being considered the 
fastest Boston yacht of her class. Course was No. 1 oi 
South Boston Y. G.; wind light from N.N.W. at first, but 
stiffened up after, going round to S. E. Working sails 
only and fixed ballast. The Herald got away firet, Sea- 
mew next, followed by Rita, Peri, Fancy, Wave Crest 
and Rocket. Fancy put in some fine sailing, for she 
overhauled boat after boat, and took the lead, finishing 
first. The purse, however, went to Racket on time al¬ 
lowance. Judges, Messrs. J. Winniatt and Frank Bibber 
referee, William L. Jefferies. The times were as fol¬

fist, closing the gap between herself and Psyche, 
wind softened again, and the little clipper drev 
steadily in the smoother water. Phantom led S 
as far as Thrum, and got the schooner under hen 
first board, but in the weight of wind and rain 
rushed down, had to lower topsail, drop the peak 
mainsail and finally lower the sail itself, and conse- 
got left hopelessly astern, though she maintained

all, and the sail flapped wildly about,. Off Point I 
the tiller broke short off. This let Lily up a Ions 
and by the time a walking-stick had been trans 
into a jury tiller, the Dartmouth five tonner hat 
lished a commanding lead. Lily, however, ini 
her place by standing too far to the eastwan; 
MacNab’s, and crossed just thirty seconds ahead - 
after the prettiest bit of racing of the day.

Toronto Regatta.— During the visit of the G 
General and Princess Louise to Toronto, a series

yacht matches previously reported in our columi 
first race was for four-oared shells. The Toronto 
start, leaving the race to the Peterboroughs, Lea

Unique Carried away gaff-topsail sheets and bobstays, 
and Camilla, a fine cruising schooner of thirty-five feet, 
entered to make up the lists and was not driven. The 
winner was sailed by Captain H. C. Rettger in a manner 
that left no room for criticism, and it was due to some 
extent to her management that she held her own so well 
with the larger craft. It will be noticed that the Associ¬ 
ation has adopted three very sensible sailing rules, as 
mentioned above, and with discernment enough to abol¬ 
ish sand bags, sail mixed rig races, and no limit to sails, 
but limit to live ballast in the shape of crew, the Associ¬ 
ation ought to prosper fast and become one of the most 
popular on the lakes. The Ida, of Put-in-Bay, now holds 
the champion pennant of Lake. Erie, having won from 
Restless, of Sandusky, the former holder. 
Southern Yacht Club. —A match race was sailed 
September 8th between Zoe and La Belle, both cabin 
yachts. Wind light: course twice around the triangular 
club course : distance ten miles. Zoe took the lead, but 
when on the wind La Belle went to the fore, only to be 
repassed during second round by Com. O’Brien, who 
sailed the Zoe. The race went to the latter. Time, 2h. 
17m. 20s, 
The regular regatta of the Southern Yacht Club for the 
Challenge Cup, wMoh was won in spring by Albertina, was 
sailed September 11th. Wind blowing fresh. Course, 
three times around triangular club course—fifteen miles. 
Three starters Game to the line— Albertina. Cydnus and 
Limnas— all of the first-class. Cydnus, sailed by E. Har¬ 
ris, her owner, took the lead, and was never headed. 
Our correspondent ascribes this to the alterations recently 
made in her model and rig, which are greatly to the 
credit of her owner. The victory was rather a surprise 
to all concerned, as Albertina (the old Susie S., eac-Bella 
was considered about invincible; but as she droppec 
some of Iter sand bags to windward site capsized, and her 
crew followed the sand bags into Lake Pantchartrain. 
Limnas took a bad knock down on ' the second round, 
and came to anchor to bail out. The Cydnus was built 
in New Orleans by O. Bocage, a colored pupil of J. 
Mahoney, a builder of considerable local repute. 
Royal Nova Scotia Yacht Squadron.— While 
the would-be spectators at the Smith-Ross scull¬ 
ing race were grumbling on Saturday, Aug. 30th, at the 
strong wind blowing from the North, the yachtsmen 
were rejoicing at the prospect of a good day’s sail for the 
prize presented by the Honorary Secretary. Mr. J. E. 
Butler, on board his sloop Hebe, officiated as officer of 
the day. The wind was strong from North, and it was a 
dead run to Mar’s Rock, thence a free reach to Thrum 
Cap, and a dead beat back. The entries were :—

went quite in her old form, making a capital start and 
leading all the way round. Seafoam sailed well, though 
not up to what she can do. She reached along fast be¬ 
tween Mar’s and Thrum, and on the beat back, when the 
heaviest burst of the day came down on the fleet, she 
launched away from Phantom and company hand over

team and the Staten Islanders was played on F 
Saturday last at Staten Island ; and again tin 
Erin swept all before them, winning by eleven, 
they played twelve men. The club’s comm 
neglected nothing to put the grounds in peri? 
and in consequence, the hundreds of spectators: 
the stand and benches were as cheerful and as co 
as they could be. The arrangements were et 
marque being provided for ladies, who werei 
free, and a special place under the eaves of 
house was set aside for the .associates of the 
large tent occupied by one of New York’s lies’ 
was erected on the south end of the ground, r 
thing was systematically done to make the mi 
cess. The weather was delightful on both day 
wicket which Lane, the club's excellent protest 
prepared with great care, played well from star 
“There is not in the entire world,” said one o 
team, “another cricket ground like this. Y 
attractions such ar I have never even dreamed' 
nection with athletic sportsand this truly 
story. The new grand stand which is built 
race, back of the lawn tenis courts, and to ti 
the ladies archery grounds, commands one of 
marine views in the world; and when looking t 
the field below, framed in a quadrangle of e: 
spectators, bordered by the boundary flags, 
gay colors, the turf dotted with cricketers in 
flannel suits, the scene isreally exquistely beauti 
hflarating. We, ourselves, even felt the cha' 
we stretched out our legs, we looked back to t; 
our youth, and remembered once having been 
for sitting on the wicket. 
The game was begun at 12 M. ; the home tt 
won the toss, went to the bat, against the 
Exham and Hamilton. Both breathed destruci 
was the inning’s total. At 2.50 P. M., the Ge 
Ireland commenced what turned out to be, 
inning. Although it yilded 135, it must be. wj 
fielding of the home team did not support M

the batting of the visitors was brilliant, the 
being particularly well timed and strong, M

as the ball whistled through their legs. ,

their side, the former gentleman obtained 32 i
