WAIL OF THE SLOOP. 
HAT are the wild waves saying, 
Hildegarde! Fanita'! Athlon! 
Running, reaching or staying, . 
I hear but the same sad song; 
And not while under way only, 
But at anchor by night or by day, 
Comes the weird, monotonous greeting, 
“The skimming dish passeth away.” 
Fanny! we hear no singing, 
‘Tis but old ocean we ween, 
Beating devil’s tattoo on the fantails 
Of Oriva, Wenonah, [een. 
Don't heed the barks of those sea, dogs, 
Those diving bells, imps of the deep, 
You sueaked round Long Island before them, 
And came in ahead of the heap. 
Yes, bul there’s something greater, 
That punctures my tenderest rib, 
°Tis the gibe of the double-dyed traitor 
Whoa imported the two-headed jib. 
Yes, but the waves seem ever 
Repeating the same horrid jeerg, 
Flatiron! Tub!! All endeayor 
Oan’t stifle my troublesome fears. 
To windward those cutters haye merit, 
Their staunchness is more assured still; 
After all there is very small credit 
In winning a race ‘‘down the hill.” 
No! And my dread is the greater 
Lest these lead mines successful be found, 
While I'll be condemned as a freighter, 
Scudding Little Neck clams through the Sound. 
YACHTING ON LAKE MICHIGAN. 
ATHR accounts of the 18th annual regatta of the Chicago Y. C., 
give the victory to Cora in the first class on time allowance, al- 
though her actual ame was greater than thatof the little Verve, in 
the class below. 
The pleasant weather brought out a large number of spectators on 
the steamer John A. Dix, the regatta committee being on the steam 
yacht Welcome. The course was a triangular one of 18 miles, and

much larger craft than herself, and on the open courses of the lakes,

HULL Y. C. 
sper first championship race of the Hull Y. C,, postponed from 
‘ last Saturday, came off yesterday afternoon, The wind al start- 
ing was from the southwest and blowing quite fresh, but in half an 
hour it, died away, and the sailing was slow, Later, however, tho 
wind agam freshened, and the boats came in in fine style, many of 
them passing the judges’ boat within a few seconds of each other. 
The preparatory gun was fired at 3:15 o’elock, and five minutes later 
a second gun was fired for the starting of the boats in the second 
class, the first class haying finished on Saturday. The first boat to 
cross the line was the Banueret (keel), and she was fullowed quickly 
by the centerboard yacht Rambler. The Transit was bothered on 
account of net haying a full erew, and it was nearly five minutes 
before she got to the judges’ boat, and, as no allowance would be 
made, the owner refused to be reckoned as a contestant, although 
she sailed partially over the course, There were no starters in the 
third class. At 3:25 the fonrth class got away, the contestants being 
the Amy, Queen Mab, Niobe and Mabel. They all got away nearly 
together, and madea fine appearance. The fifth class also got away 
together, and wera so eyen that they commanded the applause of the 
spectators. At3:40 the sixth class started, The courses were, for 
second elass, 11 miles, and for the other classes, 7 miles. the first 
boat to return was the Queen Mab, well in advance of the Joker, 
second. The Wildfire, in the fifth class, carried away her gaff, and 
did not return. The following tables give thé result of the contest.

NEW YORK Y. C. ANNUAL CRUISE. 
T may be that it is not always foggy at Newport, that the sun and 
moon shine at times as in other places, that wind and rain are not 
always present, the oldest inhabitants say so, men of apparent verac- 
ity, but it will be hard to conyince the yachtsmen of New York and 
Boston, whose hard lotit was to be anchored there all last week. 
Pogs, calms, rain and mud, until the patience of all were exhausted 
and they were ready to welcome most any weather for a change. 
Never before have the prospects for a brilliant racing cruise been 
so good, the pick of New York and Boston yachts present in racing 
trim, plenty of valuable prizes for all races, both sail and steam, a 
flagship worthy to lead any squadron, and a commodore ready to do 
all possible to make a success, 
According to programme, the fleet met on Saturday afternoon at 
New London, the Namouna coming in on time from her transatlantic 
yoyage. A meeting was held in the evening, at which it was decided 
to sail for Newport on the following day, declining the offer of cups 
for races at New London. The programme was changed, however, 
on account of the fog, and it was not until Monday afternoon that 
the fleet drifted into SE eOrt in a dense for. 
The first races were to be sailed on Tuesday for the Goelet Cup, but 
Tuesday morning brought only rain with the fog. The town was full 
of sailormen, owners and their guests, pape, hands, besides the 
crews of smacks and coasters in harbor, all damp and dripping, and 
all alike in one dismal monochrome of yellow oilers, varied by an ac- 
casional black one. 
Boats were busy in spite of the rain, some to and from the shore, 
and some carrying visitors from yacht to yacht. The two little steam 
launches of the Namouna seemed to be in constant motion, every- 
where through the fleet, day and night, carrying messages, stores, 
passengers, all the time. 
The fleet at anchor was one such as has never before gathered in 
American waters, and was well worth a careful inspection. Fore- 
most, at her moorings near Fort Adams, was the stately Namouna, 
just in from a run across the Atlantic, but looking none the worse, 
and in company with her, aloof from the smaller fry, the Dauntless, 
Dreadnaught, Tidal Wave, Rambler, all known of old. 
Further up were a mixed fleet, schooners, sloops, cutters, steamers, 
with everywhere between them fhe catboats for which Newport is 
famous, Big Wanderer, with the black horse at her masthead; near 
her Gracie, with Fanny further above; the handsome Harbinger, new 
and clean in her first season’s coat of white, her stylish stern and 
bright cutter bowsprit showing to best advantage among the stub 
tails and square painted sticks about her; just below her two little 
fellows, Rajah and Wilful, stylish and saucy looking; outside of her 
Maggie, trim and shapely, mast stayed well forward, copper bright 
as gold, and horrible to relate, ‘the British jack a riding at anchor” 
over her stern. 
Athlon had a place near by, her board over the side for repairs. 
Regina and Whileaway were noticeable from a distance by the blue 
tinfed cabin top; Espirito, hngering on the outskirts, was minus a 
bowsprit end, knocked off by the steamer Newport. Inthe middle of 
the heap was the old “‘iron pot” the Mischief, looking ready for a 
share in the sport. Montauk, Gitana, Fortuaa, Grayling, were also at 
anchor, with the old Juniata, now the Wave Crest, Julia, now Nir- 
yana, Norseman, Clytie, and a host of others. 
The culters were certainly not the least prominent feature of the 
fleet, Bedouin, Ileen, Wenonah, showing out in bold relief their high 
sides, bright copper, taper sterns, and sailor rigs among the low 
waists, half-moon sheers, painted spars and blunt ends of the older 
ones. Medusa, a fine looking little ship, came in on Thursday from 
Boston; Huron was present with the Hastern fleet, and last, but not 
least, was noticeabie the long spars, straight sheer, and shining sides 
of Madge, once more afloat after two years of idleness. 
Of course the most prominent of the steam fleet, next to Namouna, 
wis the Electra, high black sides, smooth and perfect, handsome 
outline, and glittering with bridge and wheel of bright brass. Besides 
her was the white Magnolia, the \wo stacks of the Onenta, the twins 
Corsair and Stranger, and a number cf smiller ones, making a total 
of oyer 100 yachts present. Thetis, the new sloop, had been with the 
Hastern fleet, but was obliged to return to Boston to repair her board, 
The programme as settled on Tuesday was to race for the Goelet 
cups on Wednesday, from Newport to Oak Bluffs on Thursday, and 
after the return on Friday to race on Saturday for the Brenton’s 
Keef cups, around Sandy Hook lightship. The prospects on Tuesday 
night were nol encouraging, the rain falling gently and the fog 
everywhere, . 
Wednesday morning was litle better, but all were ready early, 
extra boats and gear were sent ashore, the regatta committee 
steamed out on the tug Luckenbach, which had come from New York 
to follow the races, and in good time the fleeb were ready, off the 
Dumplings, but all in vain; down rolled the fog thicker than ever, 
Beaver Tail boomed dismally and ominously, and after waiting until 
noon. the signals, ‘‘Race postponed until to-morrow” were set, and 
the tug steamed through the fleet with them flying. In the afternoon 
the sky really brightened, and some, over-sanguine, actually asserted 
that they saw the sun, but soon another white fog bank hid the fleet 
from each other aud the shore, The programme wasagain changed, 
the following order being issued from the Hagship: 
In consequence of fog to-day the race for the Goelet Cup has been 
postponed until to morrow. A modification in the programme for 
the week will consequently be necessary. On Friday the squadron 
sail from Newport to Oak Bluff, competing for the Brenton’s Reef and 
Oak Bluff cups, and will return to Newport on Saturday, competing 
for the handicap cups, as previously offered by the Commodore, forthe 
sail back from Oak Blufts. , 
By order of the Commodore, THomas Buneuss, leet Captain. 
Neywrort, Aug. 6, 1834. 3 ‘ 
Thursday morning was even worse tian the preceding one, being 
so bad that no attempt was made tastart, All resigned themselves, 
not without more or less grumbling, to the existing state of things. 
Of course another postponement was necessary, and, as time was 
short, a new programme was arranged at a meeting on board the 
Namouna in the afternoon, 
‘he Goelet cups were to be sailed for on Friday, on Saturday the 
fleet would race from Brenton’s Reef to Oak Bluits for two cups pre- 
sented by the Commodore, remaining over Sunday and racing back, 
on Monday, tor two cups also given by the Conrmodore; this race to be 
a handicap, based on the times of Saturday’s race. On Tuesday, a 
race over a triangular course of 60 miles, from Brenton’s Reef to and 
around Sow and Pigs lightship, thence to aad around buoy on north 
end of Block Island and hack to start. The prizes offered are: One 
$500 cup for schooners of ¢0ft. sailing length and over. One $500 cup 
for schooners under 90ft. sailing length. One $500 cup for sloops of 
Soft. sailing length and over. One $500 cup for sloops under daft. 
Sailing length, One $500 cup for the first yacht winning on lime 
allowance, 
After this race the squadron will race from Newport to Marblehead 
for a cup worth $500, with no limit of time or sails. 
SMALL CRUISERS. 
Editor Forest and Stream: 5 
1 have been an attentive and appreciative reader of the yachtinu 
department of your valuable paper for some years past, and althoug 
at present the owner of one of those much maligned boats denomi- 
nated “tats,” am open to conyiction, I commenced my boating 
career willt a simall cat, then tried jib and mainsail, followed that 
with a small sloop, and have finally got back again to 4 cat (about 
26ft. L. W. L.). which I have used for the past three years; and while 
as yet l haye neyer struck any weather in which I could not handle 
her alone, still, in candor, [must admit that] have been compelled 
to run for harbor when, although the fishermen were doing the 
same, I would have liked to keep on. 
Do you think I would do well to make still another change fora 
yawl, say about 26ft, L, W. L,, 7ft. 6in, beam and 4tt, bin, draft, and 
would I be likely to experience any more difficulty in managing a 
boat of that size and rig than my present centerboard cat? I aim still 
bigoted enough to think the catboat the fastest to windward in ordi- 
nary weatiter; but what I want nowisa suitable boat with proper 
accommodations to admit of my taking my wife occasionally on a 
three or four days’ ernise. 
Please give me your ideas as to the boat best adapted to this pur- 
pose, speed to be secondary to comfort, PROBABLE PROSELYTE. 
[Our correspondent puts very plainly a question which is asked 
many times every year by those who, with a fontlness for cruising, - 
have found no betfer boat for their purpose than some variety of the 
small centerboard sloop or cat, more or less faulty, according to the 
locality where they are found. To answer the questions cirectly, the 
proposed yawl will give much greater accommodations in the way of 
comfortable cabin room for two or three than the boat mentioned, 
and would be much more easily handled by one man, besides. being 
safe. The rig itself is very easily managed, and while not as fast as 
a cathoat in a good breeze and smooth water, its advantages become 
apparent as soon as itis necessary to reef, both as to ease of ‘hand- 
ling andspeed. We have gone into the subject of accommodations 
at a greater length in another column, For the purpose described, 
we would recommend a boat of about the dimensions mentioned, or 
if depth of water permits, 5ft. draft, flash deck, cockpit, small cabin 
trunk and companion in one, pole mast, jib, mainsail and mizzen, as 
ilustrated last week in the ForREST AND STRHAM, with an imterior ar- 
ranged somewhatas described this week, the increased room allow- 
ing & more convenient arrangement, however. ‘he greater portion 
or tk pape on the keel would make the boat safe under any press 
of sail. 
LAKE YACHT RACING ASSOCIATION. 
HE first regatta of the Lake Yacht Racing Association and fourth 
annual regatta of the Oswego Y. C, was to have taken place 
Wednesday, July 30. The course was a triangular one, starting from 
a buoy outside of pier opposite club house, to antl around a buoy 2144 
miles W.N.W., thence to and around a buoy 314 miles N.H, 34 H., 
thence to and around the starting buoy, 3144 miles 8.146 EH, first class 
yachts to sail over course three times, making 30 miles; second class 
yachts to sail over course twice, making £0 miles, 
The following first class yachts started; Aileen and Verye, R. C.Y. 
C., Toronto, Ont.; Garfield, K, Y. C., Kingston, Ont.; Ella, O. ¥. C., 
Oswego, N. ¥Y. Second class; Gracie and lolanthe, B. Q. Y. C., Bélle- 
ville, Ont.; Laura, K, Y. C., Kingston, Ont,; Katie Gray, Laura, Cricket 
and Fascination, 0. Y. C., Oswego, N. Y.; Zeta, O. Y. C., Sackett’s 
Harbor, 
The wind was from §,W. and light. The first class yachts started 
at10 A. M, and second Glass at 10:30 A. M. 
By the time the first class yachts had reached the starting buoy first 
time around, and before all the second class yachts liad reached the 
north buoy, the wind died out entirely and the regatta committee 
postponed the race until the next day. 
The day following the wind was trom the §.W. strong and pulfy. 
The first class yachts started at 9.380 .A.M, The Ella, of Oswego, 
having lost her topmast, was unable to start, The others started in 
the following order: Aileen, Verve, Garfield, They rounded the 
home buoy the first and second timesin the same order, the Aileen 
have a lead of atleast three miles. Just as the Verve rounded the 
home buoy the second time a heayy wind and rain squall came down 
thelake, compelling the yachts to shorten canvas, while running 
from the west to the north buoy a wind and rain squall of unusual 
severity came down the lake. The Garfield haying sprung a leak 
was obliged to run for the harbor, which she reached in safety, let- 
ing go hér anchor and dropping out of the race. 
The wind had now shifted to the west blowing very hard and a 
heavy sea running. For the balance of the race the yachts had a 
succession of wind and rain squalls, but by skillful handling came 
through all right, the Aileen winning the race. The following is the 
actual and corrected time:

The west buoy was rounded first time as. follows: Tolanthe, Laura, 
(Oswego), Katie Gray, Gracie, Zeta, Fascination, Laura (ing ston), 
Cricket, 
A wind and rain squall tame down the lake before the yachts had 
reached the north buoy the first time, which was,rounded as follows: 
Tolanthe, Katie Gray, Gracie, Laura (Oswego), Laura (Kingston), Zeta, 
Fascination, Cricket. 
The yachts were obliged to tackfrom the north to the starting 
buoy, which was rounded the first time as follows: folanthe, Laura 
(Kingston), Katie Gray, Laura (Oswego), Fascination, Cricket, Zeta. 
The Gracie being hopelessly in the rear withdrew, and entered the 
harbor, Krom this to the west and north buoys the yachts had a 
succession of wind and rain squalls, causing all to reef, and in some 
cases settling away everything for a time. The west buoy was 
rounded the second time as follows; lolanthe, Katie-Gray, Laura 
(Kingston), Laura (Oswego), Fascination, Cricket, Zeta. 
At this point the Zeta, finding the wind and sea too heavy, with- 
drew and sailed for the harbor, which she reached in safety, The 
north buoy was rounded the second time as follows: lolanthe, Katie 
Gray, Laura (Kingston), Wascinavion, Laura (Oswego), Cricket, 
At this point the Katie Gray was 2min. 1ldsec. ahead of the lolanthe 
on time allowance, Lolanthe being second and Laura of Kingston 
third. These three yachts rounded the north buoy within two min- 
utes of one another, From the north buoy tu the finish the yachts 
had aseries of squalls, duriug which time the Katie Gray sailed 
away trom the Laura of Kingston aid held her own with the 
Jolanthe, 
When the Iolanthe was within 100 feet of the finishing line, the 
seyere squall spoken of before struck the Tolanthe, Gray and Laura 
of Kingston. The Iolanthe, by skillful handling, managed to cross 
the line carrying nothing but close-reefed mainsail. The other 
yachts, with the exception of the Cricket, were oblized to settle awa: 
everything. The Gray and the Laura of Kingston got out their 
anchors; the Fascination and Laura of Oswego drifted down the
