OSWEGO Y. C , LADIES' DAY.— Nothing has occurred in the quiet, 

 easy-going annals of this fronlier city that has so put society on the 

 qui vive as the sail of the Oswego Y. C. on last Thursday. The 

 milliners, dressmakers and tailors were taxed to their full running 

 power to make everybody look pretty and nautical. Tnen, the 

 Count de Champfen, of the "Statue of Liberty •'-bearinglsere, was on 

 board the Ruth (steam yacht), who took the fleet in tow after sail had 

 been used to get clear of the harbor and the fickle wind had come to 

 a halt in contemplating the scene of gayety and festivity that reigned 

 on board the fleet. Sodus, fifteen miles oif , was reached at 4 P. M., 

 and after exchanges of visits and the gallant and genial Frenchmen 

 had clicked Piper Heidsieck with the Commodore and his saucy 

 crew, supper was spread on deck, and everybody seemed to imagine 

 it was their last meal. Tons of salads, cream, etc. were stowed away. 

 Home was reached at 9 P. M. as per programme, and a beautiful 

 scene it was as the yachts swung to their anchorage off the club 

 house, and landed the ladies on to the ball room floor of the new club 

 house, when dancing was indulged in until eight bells, when every- 

 body went home. Any little boy or girl on the street can tell you of 

 ladies' day of the Oswego Y. O.— Port Light. 



CHANGED HIS MIND.— A few days ago a tall, lank, brawnv, 

 sailor-looking man called on Capt. Crocker of the Puritan, at Cily 

 Point, with a view of shipping on board the Yankee sloop as fore- 

 mast band. He was a genuine Cape Cod, Yankee, barnacle- bacK 

 tar. "Do you want any hands?" asked the Cap« Codder, "Well, 

 what is your experience?" asked the famous skipper. "Anything 

 from splicing a rope to handling a square rigger suits me." Capt. 

 Crocker turned and looked at the applicant, and was weighing him 

 up before giving him an answer. The sailor, who duriug this time 

 was intently looking at the "long bowsprit," suddenly broke tne 

 silence and queried: "Say, is it expected that I am to go out on 

 the end of that bowsprit and furl the sails?" "Yes," replied Capt. 

 Crocker. "That settles it; I guess I won't sign," and away went the 

 son of Neptune, evidently to take the cars for home.— Exchange. 



NEW YACHTS.— Messrs. Poillon have in hand a new schooner 

 about 60ft. long and of only 2ft. 6in. draft for Florida waters, and a 

 small vessel to he propelled by a pew motor, the nature of which is 

 kept secret. 



BROOKLYN V. 6. ANNUAL REGATTA. 



AFTER lying dormant for eight years the Brooklyn Y. C, ouee 

 among the largest and most powerful clubs; but of late 

 little heard of; has at last started off on a new tack that promises to 

 make them once more a prosperous club. The old fleet with its large 

 tonjiage has totally, disappeared, and the club will, in the future, de- 

 vote themselves to the encouragement of smaller vachts and amateur 

 seamanship. 



While there may be a slight loss of prestige in this new departure, 

 there is no doubt but that it will bring a strong element into the club 

 and add many to the roll, while all are sure to take a strong interest 

 in club matters. They have secured a club house on the old dock at 

 Locust Grove, U ravesend Bay, with a good anchorage; and quite a 

 fleet is already enrolled. Their annual regatta was sailed on June 27. 

 The courses were! For Class C; to and around buoy No. 7 off the lower 

 end of the West Bank and return, 13)4 miles. For all the others ex- 

 cept No, 4, to and around buoy No. 8J4 and return, 16W miles. For 

 class 4, to buoy No. 8}^, thence to buoy No. 5, then back to place of 

 departure over the same course; passing west of buoy No. 8K The 

 following yachts were entered: In Class B, catboats over 20ft , Kipple. 

 Class C. open sloops. 25ft. and under, Gracie, Surprise, Fern. Class 1, 

 cabin craft of all rigs, 25ft. and under, Sea Robin. Mamie, Vida. Class 

 2, cabin craft, between 25 and 30ft., Mignon. Zetta. Class 3, cabin 

 craft from 30 to 35ft, Wacoidah, Carrie May, Widgeon. Class 4, cabin 

 craft, 35 to 45ft, ..Eolus. Circe, Chance, Gladiator, Genevieve, Kismet. 



The start was set for 11 A. M.. but a long delay ensued after the 

 yachts were ready, and it was noon before the gun was fired. A 

 heavy fog had shrouded everything in the morning, but it had lifted 

 by 10 A. M. No sooner had the fleet started than it dropped again, 

 shutting them in. All went over promptly without handicap or foul- 

 ing, making a good start. The fleet carried booms to starboard, 

 Gladiator leading. .-Eolus was last of her class to start, but soon 

 overhauled all but Genevieve. Carrie May held out well to the big 

 ones out to buoy 8^. Circe lost her topmast near buoy 16, and con- 

 tinued for a time but finally withdrew. Genevieve turned buoy S]4 

 the leader, with jSSolus close astern, then Chance, Gladiator, Circe 

 and Kismet. It was a beat out to buoy 5, with a light wind and no.

At buoy 5 Genevieve rounded first and jibed, coming in so close to 

 Chance that she was obliged to round a seoond time to avoid fouling 

 the latter. All jibed neatly, Chance and JEoltts starting home on 

 even terms with Genevieve, the former with jib boomed out. At 

 buoy 8, Genevieve led with .IDolus close to her, then Chance, Gladia- 

 tor and Kismet. Here the breeze freshened, and JEolus speedily left 

 the pack and walked up to the Leader's weather quarter, gaining all 

 the time until off Norton's Point the wind dropped, when she slowly 

 fell astern and Kismet passed her. The times of all were:

Prizes of plate were awarded to the winning yac'-its. The regatta, 

 was in the hands of Mr. Wm. Bishop, to whose efforts much of its 

 success was due. With the exception of the delay at the start the 

 race was well managed throughout, and gave satisfaction to all the 

 participants, 



OPENING DAY OF CHESAPEAKE Y. C; 



THE 10th of June was appointed for the newly-organized C. Y. C , 

 to hold its opening meet at the rendezvous of the club at Oxford . 

 Tbe yachts Cora and Zema left their anchorage in Miles River to at- 

 tend the meet on the afternoon of the 8th. they having 10 sail about 

 60 miles to reach the anchorage. The Zema, in making a start, 

 thought she had better inspect the cornfield of the Vice-Commodore 

 before proceeding on her voyage, owing to the creek's being too 

 small or the cornfield being too large. This accident delayed the 

 boats, so they made harbor under Deep Water Point. The 9th was a 

 splendid day*, wind fresh N.W., and temperature just right. The Cora 

 (yawl) got under way under mainsail and No. 3 jib for a beat to 

 Tilghman's Point, at 7 o'clock; the Zema got off 10 minutes later. 

 Cora made Tilghman's Point at 8:10 o'clock; here the course was S. 

 S. W., so she took in her mainsail to wait for the Zema to come up. 

 and set her driver, running under driver, staysail and No. 2 jib. The 

 Zema had started under a reefed mainsail and jib with foresail 

 stowed. With this canvas she fell a long way astern, so made fore- 

 sail, but not soon enough to overtake the little Cora, who made the 

 balance of the run under the shore canvas named, and arrived off 

 Oxford at 1 o'clock. Both yachts then proceeded to the anchorage 

 of Commodore Diinpfel, where we found the schooner Gaetina (flag- 

 ship) and sloop Euchre with a merry party of yachtsmen on board. 

 The afternoon was very pleasantly spent visiting the different yachts, 

 and at the beautiful residence of the Commodore, where music and 

 fireworks helped to pass the evening. 



The morning of the 10th openert with 'a hght air from N., which 

 died out entirely, and about 11 o'clock came out from S. As soon as 

 the breeze came the Commodore fired the starting gun, with orders 

 for the fleet to proceed to Oxford, about two miles distant. The saucy 

 Cora telt the light air first and jumped off with the lead, and afier 

 running down to the railroad pier, she came back to find tbe other 

 yachts at anchor off the River View House. Soon after anchors 

 were down the beautiful sloop Lulu hove in sight and came to anchor 

 in line. The Willie (yawl) was the only yacht, belonging to the club 

 not in commission, but her owner could not have some repairs com- 

 pleted in time. A business meeting was held in the cabin of the 

 Gaetina, new members were elected, and other business transacted. 

 Then an adjournment to the River View House, where dinner awaited 

 the club. Dinner disposed of, during which many speeches were 

 made, toasts drank, and the usual formula made and provided for 

 such occasions gone through with, the Commodore ordered all 

 aboard the vachts for a sail round the lighthouse at the mouth of the 

 river, the wind having freshened to a nice sailing breeze from S. The 

 Cora, though next to the last to weigh anchor, under instructions 

 from the Commodore, caught the wind at once and took the lead, 

 followed by the Lulu. Euchre, Zema and Gaetina in the order named, 

 wind dead ahead. On the first tack the Cora's mamsheet fouled, 

 causing her sailing master to throw her up in the wiud before it 

 could be cleared. This let the Lulu ahead, which lead she continued 

 to hold on the next two stretches, but the Cora then got down to work 

 and crawled out to windward, and closed the gap very fast, tacking 

 just in time to make the lighthouse, turned tt first boat and was off 

 for home with such a lead, that the Lulu did not round the lighthouse. 

 This sail closed the opening meet of the club, and a very successful 

 and enjoyable day it proved. The fleet disbanded, the Zema and Cora 

 accompanying the owner of the Lulu to his beautiful home, Eller- 

 borough. in the Third Haven, where we were entertained with gen- 

 erous hospitality. The next morning, after a visit to our host's 

 well appointed and very complete farm buildings and an inspection 

 of his fine stock of all kinds, in which his unrivalled flock of Oxford- 

 down sheep, the finest in the country, if not in the world, were much 

 admn-ed, the three yachts got under way for a run down the river to 

 attend the annual shoot of the game association of Talbot county, 

 several of the members of the C. Y. C. being members of the associ- 

 ation. After witnessing the match for tne glass ball and clay-pigeon 

 badges of the club, the vachts got under way to return to Ellenbor- 

 ongh. not being able to escape the fascinations of tins lovely spot. 



After breakfast on the following morning the Zema and Cora's 

 crews, after bidding adieu to their host and his brother, got under 

 way for home, stopping to pay a visit to our rear-commodore at his 

 residence in Oxford. They anchored for the night in Black Walnut 

 Harbor, and after a very pleasant run reached home on Saturday 

 afternoon, ab feeling sorry that the cruise was over. 



In reference to the sailing of the Lulu and Cora, rhese two boats 

 are old rivals and always hunt each other when they meet. There 

 is very little to spare in speed hetween them, although the Lulu 

 is the larger boat. The owner of the Cora changed her from sloop 

 to yawl in rig, and is well pleased that his boat continues to 

 hold up her end of the row so well under her present rig, which was 

 put on for convenience and handiness for winter cruising, she being 

 in commission all the year round. He is of the opinion that his boat 

 is as fast as ever in running or reaching, while her speed is but little
