Eclipse, the new yonder, did not disappoint her friends in the good 

 company she was. The paltry weather forbade anything like a 

 record being made, and business called her owner home, so that she

Elaeement, and to him the sailing of Oriva during this cruise must 

 ave been a revelation of his ignorance. The cutter demonstrated, 

 however, only well known principles of naval science, and proved 

 upon whatfli'ghi ,- reasoning we. in America, have been giving pref- 

 erence to shoal i. oats. Oriva sailed so well in eve yew London match 

 and on the run to Newport in a brei z.- that she suddenly acquired "a 

 reputation for great speed."' It does not appear to take much to do 

 and undo the opinions of the average reporter, and it would not be 

 astonishing to tiu.l thai after coining our Hat-footed for cutters, our 

 contemporaries should turn their fiftieth somersault back again 

 f,.r the slooo, for. after beating all but the big Fanny in the New- 

 port race, Oriva once more "dirt not do well'' up the coast "because 

 she laid down on her side," when every one knows that to be charac- 

 ... „-;..,,] ...en.'..' i .eu not in leleast tffecting their speed. 

 The fact is that Oriva was in excellent condition and well handled. 

 Last veat her sails were a hindrance, but now with a Lapthorn out- 

 fit and a clean bottom, she is .Icing better. When we review the year 

 our verdict wili probably not be changed as to this cutter. She is 

 fully up to the average, under certain favorable circumstances 

 rat her better, ami in strong beam winds and smooth water not quite as 

 good as the best m her class, -is a cruiser chough she is to be preferred 

 on the score of safety, rig. room and cool cabins, and she wdl have 

 many sisters in the future. In the jlarbiehend races she should have 

 gained still more credit, though her fine sailing failed to attract the 

 attention of the rer.orters oresent. Leaving Gracie and Fanny to

Certainly among cutters Oriva would take no higher rank than do 

 these two among American sloops. Yet Oriva's beating both by- 

 half an hour is dismissed by the superficial reports published in 

 other journals by the mere mention "Oriya was not placed," because/
