Winners— Clas3 1— Kilbride. Class 2— Mackerel. With a strong 

 breeze and line Weather the day was all that a yachtsman could 

 desire for a race. A fine start was made, all going off on port 

 tack. Much public interest was shown in the race, especially in 

 a tussle between Fisherman and Kilbride, the former being a 

 new comer in the club, while the latte" had hitherto been its 

 most successful racer. However, whether because the Kilbride's 

 crew were better trained in racing than the new boat's, or that 

 the boat herself had superior merit, she soon got ahead of Fisher- 

 man and rather increased her lead to the end. The Kittoch did 

 not do nearly so well as usual, while the Blandy did much better. 

 A very pretty race was also sailed between the second class boats 

 and was clasely contested. Regatta committee, C. Sargeant, P.

THE DISMASTING OF THE VERVE.-Further particulars 

 have been received as to the dismasting of the Verve on Lake On- 

 tario, in the storm of July 11, while on her way to Kingston. She 

 was south of the False Ducks under scandalized mainsail and Jib 

 when several heavy thunder squalls came up iu succession. It 

 was necessary to jibe her, and two men were stationed a" the. run- 

 ners and two at the main sheet. Just as the sheet was hauled in 

 a heavy squall struck the yacht, the sheet escaped from the men 

 who held it, the boom struck the runner and the mast went over 

 the side. An axe was used to cut a way the rigging, as there was 

 a heavy sea on and the wreck threatened to stave in the sides. 

 The axe-head was loose and fell overboard, the crew finally com- 

 pleting the work with their sheath knifes, letting the yacht ride 

 to the wreck as a drag. It was 7 P. M. when the accident hap- 

 pened and the yacht lay in the trough of the sea until daylight, 

 the dingey towing upside down astern. The yacht made no water 

 and was dry below, though taking some sea on deck. At daylight 

 on Thursday some weight was shifted forward, bringing her head 

 to wind and allowing her to ride easier. On Friday morning the 

 stump of the mast was taken out, Mr. Bell and the skipper, Nor- 

 man Dick, falling overboard while working at it, but getting out 

 safelv. A jury mast was lifted from a topsail yard, and the yacht 

 finally anchored in 12 fathoms south of the Main Ducks. At 5 P. 

 M. she was spoken by a steamer which sent a tug which towed her 

 into Kingston on Saturday. 



EASTERN Y. C. CRUISE— The fleet of the Eastern Y. C. was 

 very unfortunate in the weather encountered on the cruise, as 

 eight days were spent in covering about 190 miles. The first day's 

 run, as stated last week, was from Marblehead to Isle of Shoals 

 on July 14, the next port, Portland, Me., being made on July 15, 

 49 miles m all. On the 15th the run was to Booihbay, 35 miles, 

 and on the 17th to Seal Harbor, 20 miles. A heavy fog was met 

 and on the 18th only 10 miles to Rockland, was covered. North 

 Haven, 9 miles distant, being reached next day. On July 20 only 

 Smiles to Green's Landing, was made, and on the folio wing day 

 the fleet reached Bar Harbor, Gitana towing for the last few 

 miles, while Rcoeeea was the first to arrive under sail. The fleet 

 included also Volunteer, Iroquois, Adrieuue. Peerless, Silvie, 

 Olytie, Baboon and Actea; Marguerite and America, with Com. 

 Gerry's steam yacht Electra were at anchor in the haroor. 



CENONE.— The new keel schooner designed by Mr. Burgess for 

 Col. Hugh Cochrane, former owner of tne Tioga, was launched on 

 July 19 at Burnham's yard, East Boston, where she was built by 

 Win. Mackie. The method of launching was peculiar, the cradle 

 in which the yacht rested being d rawn down at low water on ways 

 and rolhrs in the same manner in which a house is moved, being 

 left until she floated clear at high water, when she was towed to 

 Fiske's wharf, wnere she will lit out, being m commission by Aug. 

 15. The QCnone is built of wood, oak frame, oak and yellow pine 

 planking, and yellow pme ceiling. Her lead keel weighs 33 tons. 

 Her principal dimensions are: Leugth on decR, 92ft.; l.w.l., 75ft.;

 boom 63it. and foreboom 27ft.

 sail, having two young ladies with them. When well out at sea 

 the boat was capsized, the four clinging to the bottom for forty 

 minutes, being iinally rescued by the steamer Longfellow, the 

 ladies being almost insensible.

 for Mr. O. B. Jennings of New York, was launched on July 17 at

ALERT, schr., Mr. Henry Bryant, has had more lead added to 

 her keel and her sails locut. 



"There he goes!" Eyes bulging from their sockets re- 

 sponded to^the exclamation. A 201bs. salmon had been dis- 

 covered in the fish way at Arnoskeng Falls. '"There goes 

 another!" The excitement becomes intense. Men bend over 

 the sids of the fishway until they are in danger of falling in, 

 for the sight of a pair of live salmon plunging in and dart- 

 ing through the foam and waterfalls ol the Merrimack is the 

 sight to some men of a life-time, and causes the blood to 

 thrill. Gradually the water in the fishway becomes less and 

 iess, for the hand of the chairman of the game and fish com- 

 missions of the State has shut down the gate which supplies 

 it, until at last scarcely more than a footand a half remains 

 in the lower portions. Then the grand fish come into full 

 view; a stout heavy dip-net is lowered into the water, there 

 is asplashing, a struggle, a hoist of a 201bs. monster into mid- 

 air, and then another splash as the splendid fish is lifted 

 over the stone pier and dropped into the canal which leads 

 to the river. In a second more and the king of game fish is 

 shooting up the main stream of the Merrimack toward 

 the north. Four of these fish, weighing from eight to 

 twenty pounds apiece, were taken "from the fishway at 

 Amoskeag, under the direction of Commissioner Riddle. It 

 was the biggest school of salmon seen in Manchester in a 

 single day for years, and besides these four, two others were 

 netted during the day and helped over into deep and safe 

 water. It was the privilege of a Mirror representative to 

 capture a fifteen-pounder and send him on his way rejoicing, 

 but the experience would have been far pleasanter had the 

 gamy fish been fastened by a hook to the end of a well- 

 seasoned fly-rod, with plenty of stout line and open water to 

 play him in until exhausted, tired out, he had succumbed 

 and been safely landed. But salmon fishing is a pastime 

 unknown to the present generation in this vicinity, and there 

 seems to be little prospect ot its being followed successfully 

 in the Merrimack for a good many years at least. Some 

 fish go above the falls every year and deposit their spawn,' 

 and perhaps if the ambitious young angler lives long 

 enough he may throw out a line into the rapids at some 

 spot along the stream and feel a bite at his nook that he 

 will never forget. — Manchester Mirror.
