YACHTING NEWS. 
Empibe Yaoht Club Regatta.— T he regatta of this club, 
June 18. proved unsuccessful on account of light winds, and 
will be sailed again. There were a large number of entries. 
Eastern News — Baton, June 15. -After trying for several 
days, the clerk of the weather finally succeeded in giving ub 
one fine one throughout, and that was yesterday. I he 
Halcyon Mr. Brooks, has left for Swampscott. where she is 
to be this summer. Fleur de Lys came in last evening ai 
about six o'clock ; boats out to tow the last hundred yards ;

town. Shadow preparing for race on lhe ,} 7t ^“^. h ? 8 V*®" 
set of sails, which, however, the owner Mr. Bryant, is Iun- 
derstand, not satisfied with. Shadow has always had a good 
record. ‘Let us hope she will keep it up. Narragansett 
Thistle, Nautilus and lanthe are off Rowes wharf. There 
is to be a rendezvous of the Eastern Club off Swampscott the 
17th and race at Marblehead, opeu to all, so that things look 
encouraging for flyers . The moonlight regatta off City Point 
is said to have been a great success, the bay being alive with 
small craft. The Foam, Com. Boardman, winch has been 
lengthened, has not as yet putin an appearance in the harbor, 
though we are anxiously keeping our weathereye open to take 
in all her n-w wood, and hope it may be the improvement 
that is desired. Cruiser. 
Nacassett Yaoht Club -This club, with headquarters In 
Boston waters, numbers forty-five members, and thirty-eight 
yachts Their lime table is reduced to tbe amount allowed 
by a yacht 111 feet long to those of less dimensions for one 
mile The amount multiplied by the number of miles in the 
course and subtracted from tbe total time occupied by each 
yacht gives tbe corrected times. This rule is very much more 
equitable than the hard and fast ones, which allow a fixed 
amount, irrespective of the relative sizes of different yachts, 
and apply the same allowance among small or large craft alike, 
and often also without regard to the length of the course. 
Haverhill Regatta — Haverhill, June 17. — The nineteenth 
regatta of the Haverhill Yacht Club was held this p. m , on 
the Merrimac over the club course— viz., from stakeboat 
anchored off the club house to buoy at Groveland Bridge and 
return Distance, five miles. The wind was light from tbe 
south and west, very baffling, at times trying the patience of 
the skippers. During the race the yacht Emma L. twisted 
her rudder-post bead off just after turning tbe first buoy, 
thus rendering her tiller useless, but quickly repaired the 
damage, by rigging tackle to tbe end of her rudder and steer- 
ing with lines -.

Both schooners and sloops, in tbeir respective classes, sailed 
/or the challenge prizes without classification. 
The Commodore’6 schooner led across with working top- 
sails and tbe usual cruising complement only. Ihe otner 
schooners had main clubs set, the sloops their clubs and J 
topsails. From the time of passing the line it will be seen 
that Tidal Wave was handicapped 45s., Nereid i m., and un- 
fortunate Active 3m. 32s. The wind was still light and Ac- 
tive got caught in the tide while in stays, and there hung iu 
irons” fer some time. Christine, Active, Neretd and Nettie 
stood across to the Long Island shore on the starboard taca, 
the rest of the fleet hugging the Staten Island side, Regina, 
who had shown of what smart stuff she and her crew were 
made of the day before, again took the lead among the sloops, 
while Clytie proved that Boss Ketchum Knew what he was 
about when he gave her that long floor and easy swell for- 
ward. Vixen and Peerless did wonders, the sloop evidently 
being iu something like her old form when in the hands ot Mr. 
Livingston, and as for Peerless, her splendid record this season 
will not likely be eclipsed by that of any craft of her size, ihe 
wny 6he has been disposing of Estelle wherever the two have 
met is something to he proud of. Vixen weathered on Regina, 
blanketed her and went to the fore. The fleet stood over t°* 
ward the Coney Island shore, and with a long leg stood for 
the Spindle Buoy, Active having done well in making up for 
a bad start. The Commodore’s schooner, too, with ordinary 
canvas and crew, was showing a noted racing craft the way, 
much to the surprise of many, a fact which goes far to prove 
that a good, honest and reliable boat is not a thing to be de- 
spised, but may even show some of the machines how to do 
the very work they were built for. Peerless weathered on 
Clytie, and the fleet turned the buoy in the following erder :

Atlantic Yacht Clud Regatta.— Owing to the vascil- 
lating wind, the annual match of the enterprising Atlantic 
Club, Monday, June 17, turned out only partially successful. 
There was a fine lot of entries, including such noted wind- 
jammers as Undine and Orion among the first class sloops 
and the famous Peerless iu the schooners, while Kaiser and 
Lietie L promised to make an interesting time among the 
smaller ones. The Cyclops , with the judges, and the Ameri- 
cas, with the guests, went over the course with the fleet. Not 
until noon could the yachts be got into position, aDd, with a 
light, southerly breeze, they were seut across the line as fol- 
lows:

The courses for tbe different classes have been given in a 
previous number of Forest and Stream Schooners were 
to go around the spit and light-ship, likewise the first class 
sloops. Second class sloops round the spit and Gedney Chan- 
nel buoy, and the third class sloops only round the southwest 
spit and return. Triton led off in the schooners, aod, as ex- 
pected, Orion and Undine had a luffing match, iu which Mr. 
t looper’s famous wind-squeezer came out second best. Un- 
dine then picked up her accustomed place ahead of the entire 
fleet, big or little, and did some fine work in screwing out to 
windward as long as the breeze lasted. Pea-less weathered 
Triton off Coney Island, when the wind suddenly chopped 
round and reversed positions. Kaiser led her class as long as 
the wind held out, when the race resolved itself into a drift, 
with ttie lee tide to help them aloqg to the spit. The Spindle 
Buoy was fetched as under.

A vacht club has recently been organized in New Market. 
N H called the “ New Market Yacht Club." Their race 
course is in Gnat Bay, a most beautiful sheet of water, 
about six miles in length and four miles in width, with easy 
access to the ocean through Portsmouth Harbor. They have 
iwo catamarans in the club, which, report says, have made 
wonderful time over the club course. Weather Helm. 
New York Y. C. Regatta.— Thursday, June 13, had been 
designated for the annual race of the leading club of America, 
and, though almost unheralded, the goodly number of entries 
drew together a large fleet of yachts of all classes in the 
lower bay and a number of steamers, which went over the 
course. The morning broke overcast, with a fine breeze from 
the westward, which died out, however, before the gun fire, 
and left the boats becalmed. Rambler, Vision and others had 
to be towed to windward of the line, and finally a 6tart wa9 
effected Active was inshore, to leeward, with her red- 
capped crew at work stowing her balloon jib and her club 
and jib header aloft. Christine next, looking handsome since 
her lengthening, her pot-leaded sides glistening in the sun 
and looking like business. Among the schooners, Rambler 
was first to cross the line, with Nettie and Restless close to- 
gether. about 4m astern. Estelle, Peerless and Clytie some 
time behind, tbe latter being the last of the fleet to get away 
Light sails were whiskered out on the sloops, and the 
schooners were wing and wing, or had their booms to star- 
board. The wind almost completely died away, and the 
whole affair turred into a mere drifting match, in which 
Blants and cat’s-paws did unequal work among the fleet, so 
that any detailed account of tbe tedious drift down to the 
spit buoy would be without object. The catamaran Nereid. 
against which several protests had been lodged, dropped 
astern and kept Rambler company until near the buoy, where 
she crept up well on the leading scho mere, and managed to 
round ihe book among tbe first. Rambler did not show to 
any advantage, but it could hardly be expected that so large a 
craft would be able to hold her own with the smaller ones in 
such weather. Clytie, on the contrary, had more than made 
good her late start, for she had overhauled the ruck, and 
when the Hook was reached, she was third among the schoon 
ers, with Peerless and Tidal Wave a quarter of a mile ahead 
"What little there bad been in the way of occasional cats-paws 
now died out completely, and it became evident that the 
course could not be made in the prescribed time, so Tidal 
Wave hailed tbe judges’ boat and signified her wish to put 
about for home. At this point Peerless was leading, with 
the smart Regina close aboard. Active, V Christine, Vixen,

The run up tbe Hook was close hauled, the wind havin 
come out from S. S. W., and pretty fresh at that. Vixen le 
the ruck a lively dance with pretty Regina a mile astern, the 
rest maintained their relative positions, and the Light Ship 
was rounded as under :

Clytie seemed to want more wind, for that she is a speedy 
one will not be questioned, but she failed to close the gap be- 
tween herself and Peerless in the rougher water outside as had 
been expected- Kites were set by all hands on the run home 
excepting orthodox Restless, who had it pretty much her own 
way in her class anyhow. Tidal Wa/oe, in the reach, showed 
the worth of a steamboat bow and went through the water in 
fine style with as little fuss as a Harlem boat. She dropped 
Clytie, with a fuller bow, as we had predicted of the 
latter in these columns. Vixen led round the spit 
again, with Peerless a mile in her wake, and Tidal half a 
mile astern of the pride of the Atlantic Club. Regina a good 
fourth, with Clytie close aboard, Vision and Christine a 
minute apait, and the rest pretty much out of the hunt. 
Owiog to the last of the ebb still setting, the ruck caught 
up somewhat on the reach up to the narrows, and the 
leaders were bunched pretty well. The judges made their 
final report as under :

The smallest class here put for home, while Lizzie L. led 
the way in hers to the Gedney, tacking round the same, 
while Imperia, at some risk to her sticks, jibbed over, thereby 
gaining materially. Lime L. at 3:20; Imperia, 3:23; and 
Sheila, 3:28. The rest distanced. On the run to the light- 
ship, with the wind S. S. E., Orion's fine lines began to tell, 
and she dropped Undine, while Peerless obtained and held the 
lead of the fleet. The ship was rounded as follows :

With Bheets eased, balloons were in order, the schooners 
setting club topsails, main-topmast staysails and jib-topsails, 
and the sloops their ballon-jibtopsails. Both Undine and 
Orion got in a snarl doing this. Undine got hers under the 
bows and had to round to before she could hand it, and in so 
doing sprung her topmost above the cap and snapped it off 
short after the sail had finally been set. The fickle breeze 
died away entirely when the yachts reached abreast of the 
Romer and the ruck closed the gap, bringing the tail end of 
the breeze outside with them. Finally, after some tedious 
drifting, the flood tide began to make and brought in all hands, 
the slowest craft in the van and the fastest in the rear :

Great Day with the Corinthians.— Under the auspices 
of the Beawanhaka Yacht Club, the Corinthian race of Satur- 
day, June 15, proved an undeniable success. In lacl, so far 
as results to he deduced from regattas are concerned, the race 
was more eventful and pregnant with suggestions than uny 
other of the season. Thut the interest in yachtiug of the 
genuine sort is not by any means on the wane was amply 
proven by the large number of volunteers that came to the 
line, more yachts having entered than for any similar event 
previously, and all but one putting in an appearance in good 
time. The rules under which the match was sailed have 
been published in a previous issue, and it will suffice to say 
that all the crews were composed of amateur sailnis, and the 
yachts steered and handled by their owners. The morniDg 
broke calm, and hardly a breath of air wus stirrmg at two 
bells in the forenoon watch ; but fortunately a favoring ebb 
brought the craft together off Stapleton from the various an- 
chorages where they had come to for the night. The club 
steamer Americas, with the regatta committee ou board, went 
over the course and timed the yachts. It is but just to give 
a word of praise to the gentlemen composing the committee 
— Messrs. M. Roosevelt Schuyler, James H. Elliott and 0. 
Wyllys Betts — for the admirable manner in which they con- 
ducted the whole affair, and the regard shown by them to the
