The 212th race, second Buzzards Bay championship s was sailed Aug. 
4 at Monument, in a light wind, N.W. at start, but shifting to W., and 
giving second class a free wind over the course. In this class Kalama 
won fairly and showed herself the best light weather boat. The course 
was 9)4 miles. Third and fourth classes sailed 7J^ miles, fifth class 3% 
miles. Nobska and Gilt Edge sailed a very close race, Nobska finally 
winning by 15s. They beat their class badly, leading the next pair, 
Eina and Puzzle, by 10s. Fin and Grilse did the same thing in fourth 
class, leading the first knockabout by 9m., and beating all the third 
class but Nobska and Gilt Edge on actual time. Fin beat Grilse to 
windward 3J^m. The latter's sail as cut down is not big enough. Off 
the wind she gained and finally got a foot or so ahead close to finish, 
but caught a lobster pot, which pulled her back, and Fin crossed 5s. 
ahead. Scintilla was ruled out for fouling Kaloola at start. Gilt Edge 
protests Nobska for fouling Kaloola at start. This protest is not yet 
decided:

Shipshape and Bristol Fashion. 
Things aboard ship have been kept essentially in shipshape fashion 
ever since the earliest times of navigation. We find, for instance, 
that Thucydides wrote, B. C. 424: "I think that the best and most 
perfect arrangement of things that I ever saw was when I went to 
look at the great Phenician merchant ship; for I saw the largest amount 
of naval tackling separately disposed in the smallest possible stowage. 
I remarked that they severally lay in such a way that they did not re- 
quire any one to search for them ; and yet they were neither placed at 
random nor entangled one with another, so as to consume time when 
they were suddenly wanted for use. I saw the captain's assistant in 
his leisure moments examining and testing everything that a vesssel 
needs when at sea; so as I was surprised I asked him what he was 
about, whereupon he replied: 'Stranger, I am looking to see, in case 
anything should happen, how everything is arranged in the ship and 
whether anything is wanting or is inconveniently situated; for when 
a storm arises at sea it is not possible to look for what is wanting or 
to put right what is arranged.awkwardly'. "—Marine Journal. 
YACHT NEWS NOTES. 
The Corinthian Y. C. annual sweepstakes off Newport will this year 
be open to the Larchmont 21ft. class, and will probably be sailed this 
week. 
The new purchaser of Valkyrie's hull is a Glasgow iron merchant, 
John Younger, who paid for her £680 at auction on Aug 3; the spars, 
boats and sails being sold separately and bringing low prices. . It is 
not stated whether the new owner will repair the yacht, but she is 
likely in time to be refitted as a cruiser; being too valuable to destroy 
for the lead and copper. Before the sale was ordered by the under- 
writers the wreck was surveyed by Messis. Watson, Henderson and 
Will Fife, Sr. 
Lagonda, steam yacht, has recently been chartered to Edwin Gould, 
with the privilege of purchase. 
A special race for knockabout boats under the definition of the 
clsss adopted by the Corinthian and Beverly yacht clubs will be 
sailed from Marblehead harbor on Monday, Aug. 20, at 2 P. M., unless 
unfavorable weather necessitates postponement. All matters con- 
nected therewith, not otherwise specified, will be governed by the 
racing rules of this club so far as they may apply. Entries (which 
must inclose a certificate from the measurer of one of the above clubs) 
must be delivered to the secretary, William S. Eaton, Jr., Eastern Y. 
C, Marblehead, Mass., before 9 o'clock P. M., on Saturday, Aug. 18. 
Each yacht must carry a number, which will be supplied by the 
regatta committee at the club house, upon each side of her mainsail, 
above all reef points. The prizes are: First prize, $50 ana the medal 
of the club; second prize, $25, if five or more start; third prize, gl5, 
if seven or more start There will be no time allowance, the crews 
will be limited to three, all amateurs, only mainsail and working jib 
will be allowed, but a storm jib may be substituted for the working 
jib. 
A correspondent writes us that about Sept. 22, last year a sloop was 
abandoned by two boys on the Hudson River about three miles above 
Lansingburgh, New York. The boat is about 18ft. long, 7ft. beam, 
with centerboard, half decked, and painted white above the water line 
and green below; and apparently has been used on salt water. It is 
now in the possession of persons living near where it was abandoned. 
The boat was apparently stolen. 
The house committee of the Seawanhaka Corinthian Y. C. has made 
further arrangements for the accommodation of yachtsmen by estab- 
lishing a telegraph office in the Oyster Bay clubhouse, and also arrang- 
ing with a laundry company to receive articles to be laundried and to 
return them on the second day after. A barber will be in attendance 
at the club house on Saturday afternoons and Sundays. 
The New York Yacht Racing Association has appointed a commit- 
tee of nine members to manage its sixth annual regatta on Labor Day, 
Monday Sept. 3; which will be open to the 21 clubs composing the 
Association. The courses and conditions will be the same as last 
year. Entries must be made to E. Langerfeld, 180 W. 88th St., New 
York, not later than Aug. 27. 
The little single-hand yawl Deuce, of 14ft. l.w.l., has been sold by 
the estate of the late John C. Abbott to Mr. W. A. Ruddick, of the Hull 
Corinthian and Boston yacht clubs. 
The publication of the first volume of the "Transactions of the 
Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers" has been seriously 
delayed by a fire in the printing office, but the work has at last been 
completed and forwarded to members. The large quarto volume, 
containing some 300 pages of text and 60 plates, is well printed and 
made, and reflects credit on the secretary, Mr. Washington L. Capps. 
who has had charge of this important detail of the Society work. 
The fourteen papers presented at the inaugural meeting last Novem- 
ber are published in full, with the ensuing discussions. The next 
annual meeting of the Society will take place in New York on Nov. 
15 and 16 of this year. 
In honor of the semi-centennial of the club, Secretary Oddie of the 
New York Y. C. has prepared a specially handsome and elaborate 
year book, the cover being a dark blue morocco, with the title and 
seal in gold. In addition to the list of some 1,100 members and the 
fleet of 300 yachts, the book contains a lithographic reproduction of 
the minutes of the original meeting on July 30, 1844, and also a com- 
plete list of the officerg and standing committees for each of the past
