Natehez Club, 119 pigeons, 141 balls, total 260, 
Vieksburg Club, 128 pigeons, 148 bulls, total 276, 
The judges, Hon. George Marshall, a courtly gentleman of the old 
school, on behalf of the Natchez Club, and Mr, William H. Harvey, 
of Madison, selected by Vickburge Club, with Aldetman W. L. Polk 
as Teferee, announced the result to the throng of excited spectators, 
who received the same with repressed enthusiasm, which broke forth 
into shouts when Capt, Searles proposed three cheers for the sports- 
men of Natehez. The latter received their defeat with a becoming 
grace, which gave emphasis to the sympathy and good feeling which 
their demeanor had already gained for them among those present. 
Aiter the shoot, the team adjourned to the tables spread with a mag- 
Hiticient repast Mr, Pat, Henry welcomed the Natchez team and 
guests in a yraceful speech, to which Hon. George Marshallresponded, 
atthe request of Mr. John A. Dicks, in a pithy address that aroused 
the greatest enthusiasm. The scores as a whole are considered very 
fine by spovisiven, and the record of Messrs. Auter, Bookout, Casey, 
Hobron atid Batchelor, of the Vicksburg Club, is phenomenal, making 
87 out of a possible 100 at glass balls, while Messrs, McDowell, Dicks, 
Griffin, Arrizhi and Metcalfe aggregated 04. After dinner, a sweep- 
stakes match was shot, with 28 entries, at 5 glass balls, ties miss and 
oub on the tie for the first money, after retiring 40yds. Messrs. Till- 
man and McCree clivided first money, and in the shoot off to divides 
pool MeCree won. Mr. James Pendleton, of the Natchez Club, won 
second, and the third was divided between Hebron, Myles, Lambden 
and Searles, Then ainiss-and-out pigeon natch was arranged, and 
Capt. George W. Bookout won on the sixteenth bird. At 7 o’clock 
the train returned to the city, bearing the most delighted crowd that 
ever attended an entertainment at Newman’s Grove.—Mrs, Ippy, 
A PACIFIC COAST MATCH.—San Francisco, July 28.—The most 
important pigeon match that has ever been shot on the Pacific coast 
was decided yesterday at San Bruno. There were 8 entries, at $50 
each, which, with $100 added, made a total of $500; $250 for the first, 
$150 second, and $100 third, Conditions, 40 birds each, 80yds. rise, 
100 fall, and Hurlingham rules. Ben Brown was ailowed to shoot at 
P4yds. Ramon Wilson was referee. Crittenden Robinson opened the 
ball with amiss, A howl went up when the champion’s bird—a low- 
fiying blue, from the left eud trap—escaped, and the rest of the 
shooters all felt easier. They had not, however, much to congratu- 
late themselves upon, as Robinson only allowed one more to escape, 
taking first money, with the remarkably fine score of 38 out of a pos- 
sible 40—the best score that has been made here atthe same distance. 
As usual, Robinson had good luck with his birds, one of which was 
within a foot of topping the boundary fence. Still, he shot through- 
out with a coolness and precision that made his seven opponents feel 
considerably blue. Lambert did some really fine shooting, killing 12 
before he missed his 13th—a nasty rising-tailet—thus making himself 
and Robinson equal scores. At this juncture Robinson got up and 
oftered to bet $100 that he would beat Lamberr. There were no takers. 
From this point Lambert failed, and finally withdrew on his 66th bird, 
after making four misses in succession, Hd. Way, like Robin- 
son, let the first bird get away, as he, for some reason, 
mistook the trap which was pulled, and had to turn right 
around, Towever, he made up for this later on, and did 
some fine shooting. Unlike Robinson he got all fast birds but one or 
two, and missed the easiest of fhem. At the finish Way’s score stood 
at 26, a most creditable score for a veteran, and a remarkable one for 
# man who only shot from the trap for the first time last season. Fay 
took second money. H. 1. Hopper came next. He is a very neat 
shot and handles his gum in a way which shows that his hand and 
eye have been well trained on the quail of his native Sonoma hills. 
Hopper camein for third mouey, with a well killed string of 35. Pete 
Walch shot with had luck, aad dropped oub on his thirty-ainth bird, 
with- 22 to his credit, Dorsett, a ‘tule duck’ from the Sacramento 
River, fell early in the fight, pulling out on his uineteenth bird with 
a score of 12, Henry Bassford did some good shooting, but was 
altogether too slow in getting on his bird. Bassford made a score of 
34. Ben Brown brought up the rear and retired on his twenty-third 
pigeon, having missed 7 out of thatnumber, The day was a peculiar 
one for San Bruno, as the wiud blew all day from the southwest, 
Duriog the latter part of the shoot it blew so hard that the birds 
seemed to hesitate about launching forth on their flight. The veteran 
trapper, Kice, handled the ropes, and as usual, pleased everybody, 
There was not a single CLS Ate ae eel of any kind.

EASTERN Y. C.-NEW BEDFORD RACES. 
BE published last week a summary of Bedonin’s victory at New 
Bedford, but the full details of the race are given in the follow- 
ing account from the New Bedford Merewry: 
The weather Monday noon was not Protas for an interesting 
race when the yachts of the Hastern Club got under way. The sur- 
face of the harbor was as smooth as oil, and the light sails hung limp 
from the mastheads of the beautiful fleet as it drifted indolently down 
theriver. The course decided upon was from a line drawn from 
Clark’s Point Buoy, No. 7, to the regatta committee's boat; thence, 
leaving North Ledge Buoy, No. 3,on the starboard, to and around 
Lone Rock Buoy off Quick’s Hole, leaving it on the starboard; thence, 
by the north side of Penikese Island to and around the Hen and 
Chickens lightship, leaving it on the starboard, and return to starting 
point, leaving Mishaum Ledge, Wilkes’s Ledge and Great Ledge buoys 
all on port, and crossing a finish line between Clark’s Point buoy, No. 
7, and the committee’s boat. , 
Tug Nellie was the judges’ boat, and on board were Messrs, Daniel 
Appleton, George A. Goddard and Edward B. Haven, who acted as a 
regatta committee, 
for a time ib seemed as if the race must be abandoned for lack of 
wind. <A fine opportunity was afforded for the inspection of the ficet. 
The new schooner Harbinger, owned by J. M. Forbes, claimed con— 
siderable attention from her clean model. She is painted white and 
has a bowsprit simply, with no jibboom, The cutters were also re- 
garded with interest, the Bedoum with her flowing mainsail, and the 
famous little Maggie flying an English flag attracting considerable 
comment. Upon the Harbinger wasa party of Rests including 
Frederick Swift, C, W. Plummer, HE. W. Hart and Harry Plummer, 
while upon steamer Ibis was Charles'S. Randall. Upon yachts Wan- 
derer and Mystery were parties of ladies, and schooner Azalia, which 
came up from Naushon to the regatta, also brought a party including 
Col. Forbes and a number of ladies. 
Steamer Monohansett took about 100 excursionists to witness the 
contest, and all the pleasure craft in the harbor were down the bay. 
The schooners were enveloped in canvas with huge jibs, club topsails 
and huge maintopmast staysails, but no breeze came to fill them. 
After drifting about for more than an hour, away to the southward a 
dark vipple appeared upon the waters and the whistle for the start 
was blown, There was no wind as yet, aud the swarm of boats drifted 
by the tug with crab-like sluggishness, Following is a list of the 
yachts starting: ?

The ripple soon rolled along up the bay until it reached the yachts, 
and in a few minutes a good breeze from §. §, W. awakened the fleet 
into activity. The Waleyon and Harbinger made a good point eariy 
in the race by standing well over under the shore before standing out. 
into the bay. The Ruth made a poor start and seemed to have trouble 
in setting ber jibtopsail, Together with the Gitana and Rebecca she 
stood directly aevoss the bay and tacked under Natshon, while the 
remainder of the fleet worked along under the shore of Nonquitt be- 
fore finally standing across. After the yachts were stretched out it 
was at once apparent that Bedouin was the leader, She crépt to the 
windward of the entire fieet, and was the first to round the buoy in 
Quick's Hole. The Haleyon was forced to make a short tack under 
Naushon in order to weather the buoy, and meanwhile the cutter 
Huron had tacked around it. The Harbinger soon demonstrated that 
she had a right to be considered a dangerous rival to the Halcyon, 
and she seemed to work to windward better, The boats rounded the 
buoy as follows, and to the ensuing table is appended a eolumn giving 
the elapsed time:

With sails hauled flat the yachts stood away for the light vessel, 
The cutters evinced their superiority in pointing to windward, and an 
he Bere and Windward made a short tack under Peni- 
kese which seemed to give them a slizht advantage, The wind had 
how freshened to a wholesail breeze, and the cutters were ploughing 
their way along in a manner which delighted theadmirers of the deep 
water craft. The Bedouin made a eae tack avross the bay, and 
coming about she wound off beautitully around the lizhiship and 
jibed her boom to port. In exactly three minutes an immense spin- 
naker, which hung rearly to the water’s edge, was drawing and she 
boomed along for home, the bell on the lightship ringing her a salute 
as she rounded, while the Monohansett greeted her with several blasts 
of her whistle. It was evident from the outset that Bedouin made a 
mistake in setting her spinnaker to starboard and subsequent events 
proyed it to have been an error. The Huron was forced fo make a 
short tack before rounding the lightship, and as she turned her sheets 
were started, her spinnaker boom was lowered. and the sail, stopped 
throughout its length, was hoisted to the masthead. It was sheeted 
home with dispatch, and as the canvas broke out the spectators were 
filled with admiration. The sail was drawing in two minutes. Not so 
fortunate was the Haleyon, who was eleven minutes in setting her 
spinnaker. The little Maggie rounded next, and natty enough she 
looked as she dashed along, gunwales under, Then came Fortima ab 
her very heels, followed by Harbinger, Hesper, Rebecca, Windward, 
Ruth and Meteor. The Hesper made the quickest time in setting her 
spinnaker, and it filled in one minute after rounding. The sail was 
set to port, which was to her advantage, and on the bottom of the sail 
a large strip was bonnetted on. The time of rounding the lightship, 
with the elapsed time from the start, follows:

With eyerything drawing the yachts sped along as if driven by 
steam, The Bedouin was forced to shift her spinnaker to the port 
side, as were also some other of the yachts, and as she hauled to the 
northward the after guy was eased until the sail acted as a balloon 
ji. Nothing prettier in the way of a marine picture could be imag- 
ined than the appearance of the magnificent craft as they bowled 
along with light sails pulling like demons. The relative positions 
were unchanged, butit was noticeable how well the Harbinger held 
her own with Fortuna. The Bedouin was the first to pass the stake- 
boat, and she was saluted with blasts from the tug and the Monohan- 
sett. Haleyon was second, with the Huron less than a minute be- 
hind. Thén followed Harbinger, Maggie, Yortuna, Hesper, Rebecca, 
Windward, Ruth, Meteor and Royer in the order bamed, The sum- 
mary follows:

Tt will be seen that Haleyon wins in the schooner elass and Bedouin 
in the sloop class. Capt, Church of the Nellie acted as pilot for the 
former and Harry FW. West for the latter. The race was close and in- 
teresting throughout between the leaders. Schooners Wanderer and 
Gitana did not sail overthe course, 
SEAWANHAKA C. Y. C. RACES. 
Vy ITH the object of encouraging the younger sailors of New York, 
the Seawanhaka Corinthian Y. 0. have held races every sum- 
mer for open boats, canoes and fourth-class yachts; but the turnout 
each year seems less and less, this season’s race, except in the canoe 
class, being a complete failure, in spite oi the efforts of the regatta 
committee to secure entries and fill all classes. 
But three boats were ready on Wednesday afternoon last, although 
the weather was all that could be asked for, clear, warm and a good 
breeze, while the tide helped over most of the course. The classes, 
and values of prizes wert: Cabin sloops and cutters, fourth class 
all measuring less than 85fb. corrected length, $50. Open sloops, firs 
class, 25ft, or more in mean length, #40; second class, less than 25f6, 
in mean length, $40. Open catboats, first class, 25ft. or more in mean 
length, $40; second class, less than 25ft, inmean length, $40, Canoes, 
$30. One man was allowed for every five feet of length on deck, and 
ove for every additional fractional part of five feet, not mcluding the 
owner; and each boat was manned by amateurs éxclusively, any in- 
fringement of this rule forfeiting all claims to the prize. 
The following sails were allowed; Fourth class cabin sloops and 
cutters, mainsail, forestaysail, jib, jibtopsail, gaiftopsail and spin- 
naker; gafftopsails extending above the truck but not beyond the 
gaff end may be carried; open sloops, mainsail and jib; open eatboais, 
mainsail only; canoes, carry any kind and number of sails, but may 
notusea paddle for any purpose whatever during the race, and 
shifting ballast was prohibited. _ a - 
The course was from an mmaginary line between the club house and 
stakeboat, thence to a stalkeboat near Staten Island shore, bearm 
about §. 8. EB. and distant about one rile and two-thirds from elub 
house, rounding it on the port hand; thence to red buoy, No. 18, off 
Bay Ridge, rounding on the port hand: thence to Robbin’s Reef black 
buoy, rounding to port and home, making seven miles. 
The Cruiser, A. B. Alley, and Meteor, W. B. Wainright, were the 
only boats in the sloop classes, and the Fairy in the catboat classes, 
the latter sailing oyer in company with the others but not being in 
race. The canoe class was better represented, although many of the 
boats were absent, on their way to the annual meet. The starters 
were: Guenn, A, ©. MeMurray, 15x31; Siren, R. B. Burehard, 
1428; Dot, G, B. Vaux. 14.04X30; Psyche, C. K, Munroe, 14,0828 
Freak, C. V. R. Sebuyler, 1630, y 
With a light wind from the Narrows the sloops gotaway atthe gun, 
Meteor over at 2:40:51, and Cruiser at 2:42:33, working the slack tide 
down the Staten Island shore to first mark, with a long and short lez. 
Cruiser, though two minutes bebind at the start, soon overtook her 
larger rival, ani won the race before passing the first mark, the rest 
having @ stern chase, her lead at Buoy 15 being nearly 7 minutes, 
and at Buoy 17,8 min.53 sec. At the finish Meteor kept off and did 
not eross the line, so her time was not taken, Cruiser was sailed well 
throughout the en:ire race, and after her performances this season, 
we shall loak with intererest at the coming races sho will sail in the 
Hash, J 
Last year, over the same course, the canoes heid the big boats te 
Buoy 17, losing in the beat against the tide, but this year they started 
later and, in a good breeze, were not able to hold the large ones. £ 
Psyche was first away at 3:00:15 under anew balance lug of 55fl., 
Dot at 8:00:50, Freak, 3:01:30, Guemn, 4:01:52, and Siren, 3:02:45, 
The beat to firs} mark occupied some time, the tide still having
