Ina is a new yacht and raced for the second time. She 
shows extraordinary speed off the wind, but is not as 
good to windward. The start was very pretty, Ina going 
off like a flash and setting spinnaker to port. Muta. 
whose crew is “up to a thing or two,” was smarter in 
making sail, and had spinnaker set and drawing in a trice. 
Ina led to first mark. After rounding, Muta took to sag¬ 
ging to leeward for a time, as Bhe passed the Leopard, 
but." waking up to her business, began weathering out on 
Ina ns only Muta can. Still the little one had clear 
water, and as soon as she got round the next mark, mast¬ 
headed her spinnaker. After rounding Ives, Ina set 
spinnaker on bowsprit and went clear away from Muta. 
though the latter set her spinnaker to port and tried to 
overhaul the leader. Both yachts were steered by their 
owners. The starting gun was fired at 3 p.m., and the 
yachts passed: —

the season. 
Albany Yacht Club.— T he sixth annual regatta of 
club was sailed on the Hudson Sept. 18th. The steamer 
Golrlen Gate went over the course with the yachts, Com. 
Cogswell in charge. Tlte course was seven miles down 
the river and return to the city. Three classes, irrespect¬ 
ive of rig. Wind moderate from N. N. \V. The run 
down, with booms to port, was smooth work, the mark 
being fetched first by Dodger and Coquette close aboard, 
the rest of the fleet in a bunch. The wind picked up a 
bit, and Dodger soaked away from the rest, Coquette, 
Sans Souei and Albani making tip n trio hunting each 
other close. The fickle breeze fell light, and Startle 
closed up on the rest, but before long a crisp wind from 
N. W. again changed matters, and brought the ships 
again to their work. Albani looked high, and went 
into second place. Off Van Wiok’s Point Dodger burst 
her bobstay, and ran alongside a tow to repair damages. 
Sans Souei and Coquette made a hot fight of it, outwiud- 
ing the rest, the former finally landing the prize. The 
yachts of all classes finished a fine race as under :—

Racing on the Delaware.—A race for sweepstakes 
of £ 100 was soiled Sept. 23d between yachts Of Southwark 
and Philadelphia Yacht Clubs. Entries from S. Y. V.: 
Leduard. Buule, Douglass, Campbell. Sullivan. Entries 
from P. Y. C.: Schuyler, Crawford , Disston, Bust and 
Moore. Wind nearly a gale from N. E. Ledyard made 
a poor start, but an allowance was given her by the 
judges; though we know not in accordance with 
what rule. The Moore capsized off Gloucester, the 
Schuyler filled, and the Campbell rounded the lower mark 
first, with Douglass second, and Bust third. The Led- 
yurd worked out to windward of the lot on the beat up, 
and look the purse ; Disston a good second. The P. Y. 
has issued a challenge to the S. Y. C. to match two ol 
their yachts against any two of the other club for $100 to 
$400 each boat. 
Bay of Quinte Yacht Club .—Editor Forest and 
Stream :—The annual autumn regatta of the Bay of 
Quinte Yacht Club, which was held on Marrassaga Bay 
Sept. 28d, was favored with remarkably fine weather, and 
proved to lie the most successful which the club has yet 
held. Prizes were offered as follows; YachtB of ten tons 
and under, first, $100; second, $70; third, $00 ; fourth, 
$20. In addition, Commodore Robertson presented to 
the club a silver cup, and the win was also one score in 
the series of three wins required to obtain permanentpos- 
sessiou of a flag presented by Mr. Cole, of Ottawa. To 
the second club boat Treasurer Jellett presented a 
ner’s compass. The prizes for yachts of five tons 
and under were : First, $35: second, $20 ; third, $10 ; 
fourth, $5. No entrance fee j ten per cent, deducted 
from winners. Although these prizes were larger m the 
aggregate, and the amounts going to winners very much 
greater than were offered in the great regatta of the 
Beverly Yacht Club, yet the reputation of our local fleet 
is such that strangers are not eager to face them. How¬ 
ever, eight splendid craft entered in the ten-ton class. 
There were the Kathleen, Grade, Kat ie Gray and Syl via, 
of Belleville ; Suiprise, of Trenton ; Judge Jellett, of Pic- 
ton, a new craft built by an amateur named C. Atkin of 
that place, and which sailed her maiden race on the oc¬ 
casion ; Emma, of Kingston, which led the fleet at Tor¬ 
onto so lively a dance ; and Una (formerly Charm), of the 
same city, and which was built at Powers’ shipyard 
there The entries for the third class included the Wide¬ 
awake, Mabel, Amorette and Pinafore (formerly Ailsa 
Craig), of Belleville ; Mystery, of Kingston ; Little Giant, 
of Stone Mills; Magic, of Cobourg; and Victor, of 
Nahanee. The only absentee was Mugie. The breeze 
was light at south when the ten-toil craft were dispatched 
to a beautiful start, Katie Gray leading off. Surprise next, 
Judge Jellett third, Una. fourth, Grade fifth, Kathleen 
sixth, Emma seventh, and Sylvia last. With the wind 
abeam, the racers sped along with great rapidity, Katie 
Gray having a long lead at the first buoy, Surprise being 
next, and the others almost as they started, except 
Sylvia, which being a keel, found the wind too light for 
her. Just after rounding the first marks the sailing 
master of Katie Gray made an error which cost him the 
race, as, not seeing tlie next buoy, lie stood away to the 
southward and eastward, followed by Surprise and some 
of the others ; but Kathleen's men had their eyes open, 
and standing just far enough to windward, and passing 
the word to Surprise, which was close by when they came 
about, made off for the buoy, leaving Katie Gray a good 
half mile out of her course, and third instead of leading 
boat. As tlie competing craft came to the starting point 
Kathleen led by four minutes actual time. Surprise lead¬ 
ing Katie by twenty-five seconds only ; but here a slight 
bungle of Surprise cost her second place, Katie 
Gray slipping in between her and tlie buoy, and going on 
in sharp pursuit of the leader. Next came Grade and 
Emma close together, less than a minute apart, and next 
Judge Jellett and Una, the latter of which passed tlie 
former soon after, Sylvia practically out of the race, 
Katie Gray gamed slowly on Kathleen all around the 
course, and on the run before it from the south shore, 
which all except Kathleen made with balloon jibs and 
water sails added to the muslin which they had spread 
previously, caught her so rapidly that she was but a 
minute behind. Now, however, the wind (lied away 
rapidly, and Kathleen being in light" ballast, while Katie 
had added seven hundred pounds to the three thousand 
pounds which she carries generally, skipped away from 
her, and won handsomely. Emma having captured 
Grade, went for Surprise, and succeeded in beating her 
also. Gracia finished fifth, Una sixth, and Sylvia 
seventh. Judge Jellett having retired at completion of 
the second round. The time made by the different yachts 
was as follows :—

Kathleen thus wins first prize, Katie Gray third and 
Surprise fourth. The course was thought’to be about 
twenty-five miles in length. It was not measured, but 
tbelandinarks are known pretty accurately. 
The third class race, which, according to the same com¬ 
putation, would be about seventeen miles, was also very 
interesting. It resolved itself into a match between 
Mystery and Wideawake, which the latter would have 
won had the wind held, but Mystery is canvassed for 
light weather, and is, besides, a slippery customer, On 
the first round she led by thirty-one seconds, all of which, 
and more, was gaiued when under the shelter of the trees, 
while on tlio third round, when the wind died away, she 
had no difficulty in leaving her closest follower. The time 
in this race was as follows :—

The Victor was protested against, and ruled out, being 
over seven tons. Mystery wins first prize, Wideawake 
second, Mabel third, and Amorette fourth. The result of 
t his race was a great triumph for Cuthbert, whose models 
won all the prizes in the ten-ton class, and stood second 
in the five-ton class. Poet Taok. 
Belleville, Out., Sept. 23 d. 
g vu Francisco Yacht Fleet. —The schooner yacht 
Aritil, formerly of the New York Yacht Club, and which 
was sent around Cape Horn for Capt. A. II. Wilcox, a 
member of the San Francisco Yacht Club, has again 
changed hands. Since she been in Pacific waters slie has 
been kept most of the time in San Diego, some 500 miles 
south of San Francisco; but Capt. Wilcox’s health has be¬ 
come so bad that lie is unable to use her, so sent her to 
the Bay City for sale. She has been purchased by Edgar 
Mills, Esq., and is having a false keel put on and being 
otherwise refitted. Mr. Mills is a member of the S.E.Y.C., 
and a. brother of D. O. Mills, of the Bank of California. 
The yacht will hereafter be kept in San Francisco Bay. 
The sloop yacht Clara, which was brought from New 
York on the deck of the clipper Young America to San 
Francisco for Jabez Howes, Esq., of tho S. F. Y. C., lias 
been sold by that gentleman to John Rae Hamilton, Esq., 
S. F Y. C. Tlie latter gentleman has been used to the 
rough waters of tlie English Channel, and in the recent 
ocean race of the club astonished all hands by tlie wav he 
put the little Clara through the heavy seas of the bar. 
Mr. Hamilton is an accomplished yachtsman, has abun¬ 
dant means, and will keep the Clam to tlie front. Mr. 
Howes expects the New YorkBloop Annie on the deck of 
his ship the Three Brothers every day. Mr. Hyde P. 
Howie, S. F. Y. C., is having a sloop yacht built by Capt. 
Turner. She is the same size as tlie Clara, and is designed 
specially to beat that craft. 
San Francisco Yacht Club.— An ocelln race recently 
dctorniined on by the San Francisco Yacht Club, across 
the bar to the fifteen-fathom buoy outside, some ten miles 
to the windward and return, took place on tlie 8th of 
September, the anniversary of the admission of California 
into the Union. Hurried arrangements and the fact that 
tho bar hod been breaking badly on the 8th, resulted in only 
eight yachts starting, others only going as far as the 
Golden Gate and laying on and off at Fort Point. The 
day was windy and the bar was rough, reef points being 
in demand. Ocean sailing on the mis-named Pacific, off 
San Francisco, is rough sport, and that day the weather 
“meant business.” Mr. Gutte’s new yacht won the first 
prize, beating the C onsuelo, which carried away shrouds 
before reacliing buoy, and had to return. 
The small yachts had to turn tail on reaching the bar 
between the heads, and were glad enough to get back to 
to the Ga te. Tlie Clara beat the Frolic in second class, 
somewhat to the suprise of the other yachtsmen. Mr. 
Hamilton, the new owner of the Clara, is an old rough- 
water yachtsman of the Orkney Islands. He sailed his 
yacht himself, and although he frightened his crew badly, 
and gave those in the other yachts fears for his safety, 
carried his little boat through handsomely. The peak was 
lowered, and she pitched and rolled over the big seas, 
looking as if each downward heave was her last. The 
pilot-boats were all under short sail, plunging into it, and 
no one but a bold yachtsman would nave ventured out in 
such weather in so small a yacht as the Clara. Mr. 
Guttle’s yacht was sailed by Capt. Turner, her builder. 
The Frolic was sailed by the Commodore of the club, her 
owner, C. H. Harrison. Only tlie “grit” in carrying on 
of the Clara’s captain beat her. After the race the yachts 
all came to at the club-house at Sancelito. The conclu¬ 
sion is, however, that rough water and wind are plenti¬ 
ful enough in the big bay without going outside for it in 
bad weather. 
Mr. George H. Perkins, Governor-elect of the State of 
California, is a member of the S. F. Y. C., and is much 
liked by his club, to which he shows frequent courtesies 
in the matter of loaning his fine tug-boats for regattas or 
other special occasions. Gov. Pacheco, formerly Gov¬ 
ernor of the State, and just elected a member of Congress 
from California, is also a member of the club. Be was 
one of the original owners of the Consuelo. He expects 
shortly to commence building a fine CO-foot yaclit. He 
is an expert yachtsman, not afraid of “a little spray,” 
and has the reputation of being a first-rate hand at the 
helm in any weather. 
The Yacht Racing Association.— Messrs. W. H. Dil- 
worth, E. W. Keteliam and Tlieo. H. Rogers, of the New 
Jersey Yacht Club, were appointed a committee to in¬ 
itiate proceedings with the view to the organization of a 
body composed of delegates from the various yacht clubs 
in New York and vicinity. The committee has commu¬ 
nicated with all the dubs of the country, and n6w asks 
that a call be issued bringing them together at as early a 
day as convenient. It has been decided to call together 
a convention at the Astor House, Monday, Nov, 10th, at 
8 p.m. The objects of tlie committee are such aB should 
meet with the support of all interested in bringing about 
reform and unity in yachting laws and customs, and we 
trust that clubs wilL take action upon the call, thereby 
giving it their indorsement. One of the principal objects 
sought to be attained is to issue a prospectus for a public 
Union Regatta to be sailed in New York Bay at least once 
a year. 
The Northumbria.— This steam yacht— Earl of Lons¬ 
dale, owner — which recently put into Halifax, is bound 
on a long cruise. She left Southampton, July 18tli, and 
sailed to Davis’ Strait, Greenland, via Scotland; thence 
she proceeded down tlie coast of Labrador to Newfound¬ 
land, arriving at St. John, Aug. 3. After a cruise about 
the island tlie course was laid for Halifax, after visiting 
Sydney and the Bras D’Or Lake in Cape Breton. It is 
proposed to extend the cruise to Bermuda and the Azores. 
The Northumbria is a fine ship, something after the style 
of Mr. Brassey’s Sunbeam ; built of iron, 426 tons, 156 feet 
long, 254 feet beam, 16 feet deep, 70 H. P. engines, and 
rigged as a three-masted topsail schooner. Tlie Earl is 
accompanied by only one companion — Dr. Kingsley, 
brother of the late Charles Kingsley. 
Columbia Yacht Club.— The crew of tlie sloop Peerless, 
C. Y. C., will hold an informal reception at Lion Park, 
Olio hundred and Tenth street, Oct. 14th, from 8 to 12 
p.m. We acknowledge receipt of complimentary tickets, 
and know the many friends of the crow will enjoy a royal 
time. 
Cleveland Yachting Association. —In the recent dub 
regatta, Rear-Coin. Win. Shipman sailed Vixen, not as 
before reported. The Rear-Commodore is justly consid- 
reed one of the best sailors on tbe Lakes. 
The Ocean Gem. — Mr. W. P. Clyde arrived at Norfolk, 
Va., Oct. 4th, in his steam yacht Ocean Gem. Tlie pretty 
craft excites the admiration of tlie citizens ; and well she 
may, for she is one of the handsomest of her class. 
To American Yachtsmen. — For complete records of 
all yacht races in England, as well as for a great variety

Another Compliment.— The Forest and Stream Club, 
of Bridgeport, Ohio, lias been regularly organized, and 
officers elected as follows : Jas. D. Burtoft, President; J. 
F. Sharp, Secretary; Orville Coss, Treasurer. The Presi¬ 
dent was ordered to purchase a rotating trap and a barrel 
of glass balls. A committee was appointed to select and 
rent suitable shooting grounds, and a glass ball match 
ordered for latter part of next week. We start out with 
a fair list of young men, and hope to merit tlie title of 
true sportsmen, J. F. Sharp, Secretary. 
We accept with pleasure the compliment conveyed 
by our Buckeye friends, and trust they will enjoy tlie 
pleasures and benefits to be derived from such an associ¬ 
ation as they have formed. Success to them. 
Durham Sportsmen's Club.— The Durham Sports¬ 
men's Club of Durham, N, C., was reorganized Septem¬
