the lead and its uses. 
The ordinary band leadwelghs from seven to fourteen 
pounds. For small yachts, however, one of four to nine 
pounds will be all that is required. For depths over twenty 
fathoms, what is known as the “ deep-sea” (pronounce dipsy), 
lead is commonly employed, and will weigh from forty toTne 
hundred pounds. Leads should be oblong in shape and havo 
a hollow cup at the lower end and a large eye in the upper. 
In the cup tallow is placed, so that upon striking the bottom 
some of it may adhere and be brought to the surface as an 
evidence of having reached it, as well as to show the character 
of the bottom,” which may serve as a rough check upon 
navigation by comparison with the bottoms noted on the

just keep a gentle feel of tbe weight at all times. Take care 
to stand clear of the wake of the lead's swing ; we once wit- 
nessed a serious accident owing to rhe parting of tbe line, the 
leadstnkmg aman looking over the ship's side at the time, 
il the depth happens to correspond to any of the “ marks " 
enumerated above, the man heaving calls out, “ Bv the 
mark three or five.” If a little below the surface, “Mark 
under water three or five,’’ etc. Should the depth meas- 
ure about a quarter or a half a fathom beyond the mark, it 
is: And a quarter five,” or “And a half five,” etc. If a 
quarter less than a mark, “Quarter less five,” etc. Should the 
depth be judged about at one of the “ deeps ” not marked on 
the line, be sings out, “By the deep four,” etc. Before 
going into the chains^’ see that the breast rope is well se- 
cured, tallow in the lead, and line clear for running Ex- 
amine occasionally the “ bend " at the head of the lead • it is 
apt to part sometimes owing to wear. The lead should have 
a stout leather strap rove through the eye, and the line at- 
tached by a “ becket bend.” Never be afraid or ashamed to 
heave the lead, but keep it going, unless you know exactly 
what water you are in. We have heard parties exclaim at the 
* greenness ” of others heaving the lead right up a harbor to 
the anchorage, but there was nothing green about it ; it is the 
proper thing to do, and betokens carefulness and preparation. 
The want of just such greenness has caused the loss of many 
a fine ship, and some noted yachts likewise. There are a 
variety of patent leads in use, worked by means of a re- 
volving screw or propeller wheel, connected by gearing to 
dials showing the number of revolutions made in the descent, 
and consequently the depth. Others fitted with automatic 
detaching machinery, so that as soon as the line slackens sud- 
denly in your bands you know the lead must have struck. 
Others again breaking or completing an electric circuit upon 
striking and ringing a gong on deck ; but all these are for 
deep-sea work, and will not be needed for coasting work. If 
in deep water and anxious for an accurate cast, either luff or 
heave to. 
To sound with the deep-sea lead on board a sohooner, range 
the men along on the weather side from the cat-head aft to 
the quarter. Carry the lead, armed with tallow at its base, 
forward. Pass the bending end of the line forward outside 
of all, and becket it to the lead op the forecastle. Let each 
man collect a small coil of line in his hands, commencing 
with the first man forward, until you think you have enough 
line in hand to fetch bottom. Be sure to have the other end 
of the line rove over a snatch-block at the quarter, and be- 
layed inboard so that it cannot get away. The men will then 
sing out, “ All ready torward ;" put the helm down to deaden 
the way. Then give the order, “Standby! heave!” The 
lead is hove over clear of the side, the man calling out 
to ihe one next aft from him, “Watch, ho! Watch I” 
As soon as he feels a strain on the line number two pays out 
what he holds in his hand as the lead takes it, at the same 
siDging out “ Watch-ho ! watch 1” to number tbree, who will 
in his turn let the coil he holds run out, and so on till the last 
man in the range has done the same. All must heave the 
line well clear of the yacht. Tbe man stationed at the 
snatch-block on the quarter watches the line sharply and al- 
lows as much more to run out as the lead will take. He 
must be sharp aDd know his business, or tbe line will rapidly 
pay down over the lead and a false depth be taken. In tbe 
meantime the word has been passed to “ Lay aft and man the 
line. " The slack is rapidly run in through the snatch-block, 
and when the line tends up and down, the depth is noted by 
Jin ^L 0 ^ tb e e n qUart€r -, Tben rua in lhe llno as fast as you

YACHTING NEWS. 
Corinthians to the Front.-SUico the inauguration of 
Corinthian sailing, some few years ago, amateur principles 
have been quietly and rapidly disseminating themselves 
among the owners of the smaller yachts of our clubs. It is 
to them that wo must mainly look for the rising generation 
of thorough and able men at the sheet and tiller, and wo learn 
with pleasure that our views are concurred in by many of the 
most influential members among our junior clubs. These 
gentlemen harvo in consideration the offering of a grand prize 
to be sailed for annually by open boats, under rules of strictly 
Corinthian character. The matter has been broached amoDg 
yacht owners generally, and tbe universal answer seems to 
be : “ Well, if all others will' do away with shifting ballast 
and racing sails, I should bo delighted, for it is a nuisance, 
strains my boat, and, after all, such races are no test of her 
qualities." The proposition is to limit the number of crew to 
reasonable figures ; to do away with special racing suits, and, 
above all, to put an end to the mischievous and harassing cus- 
tom of shifting ballast. Though some difficulty may be met 
with in the laudable desire of effecting these much-needed re- 
forms, we believe the times to be very propitious to success, 
and the gentlemen undertaking the work have our best wishes 
and co-opcration in the matter. The true yachting spirit is 
at war with sailing machines and jockeying, and always will 
be. May the time soon come when the new Corinthian Chal- 
lenge Prize will be valued among tbe public as is the famous 
America Cup among tbe schooners of all nations. 
Racing Yaohts in France.—' There has been of late a 
marked renewal of tbe yachting spirit in France, and thanks 
to the efforts of Le Yacht , which is across the seas, like the 
Forest and Stream in America, the recognized organ of the 
sport, something like system and progress Is rapidly beiDg in- 
fused into our French cousins at the helm. They are certainly 
not far behind us in river or smooth water racing, for to look 
at the model of one of their bateau a derive, is enough to con- 
vince us that wo would have a good deal tougher work cut out 
for us to beat one of their cracks than it would bo to settle 
matters with a Brighton beach-boat, a Clydo lugger or an 
Itchen boat The French craft is an outcome more or less of 
the American jib-and-mainsail, and tbe amount of canvas 
they spread carries one back to such clippers as the Brown, 
Nettle and Fidget of our own waters. In hull they are not 
quite so fine, but have a fuller build and a loDg, overhanging 
counter, the result, we believe, of following the silly Thames 
measurement for length, stem to stern post, instead of on the 
water-line or over all. These racing boats are centre-boards, 
have very light draft forward, but some drag aft, in imitation 
of the European cutter. A boat 21 feet on water line carries 
about 1,000 square feet of canvas in two sails, a jib and a Jib- 
beaded mainsail. This latter is a tall, triangular-shaped sail, 
something Uke a mainsail and gaff-topsail in one. Tho lower 
portion or the luff works, as with us, on a "railway," and the 
upper part or apex being extended above tho masthead by 
means of a sprit and single halliarda working on a span at- 
tached to the sprit. Altogether, these boats have a smart ap- 
pearance, and so far as Iooks are concerned seem to have lots 
of “go " in them. 
Beverley Yacht Club. — The grand union regatta off 
Swamp8COtt, Boston, will take place Saturday, July 27, for 
prizes offered by the gentlemen of that town. Regatta open 
to all yachts not over forty feel. Time allowance according to 
the scale of the Dorchester Yacht Club. Start, flying. Centre 
boards divided into four classes— 28 feet and over, 21 feet to 
28 feet, 17 feet to 21 feet, and those under 17 feet. Keels 28 
feet and over, 18 feet to 28 feet ; keels under 17 feet sail 
in fourth class for centre-boards; plain sail to be carried only; 
crewB limited as per programme ; no trimming by dead 
weight allowed. This is a most praiseworthy rule. We note 
that the custom of keeping fast ballast is gaining ground 
among all clubs, and especially so in Boston and neighbor- 
hood, where the baneful custom of “shifting ballast " is nardly 
any longer recognized as legitimate among the small fry. The 
judges are Messrs. John Jeffries, Samuel Hammond, Nelson 
S. Bartlett, F. W. Lawrence and W. Lloyd Jeffries. The re- 
gatta committee is composed of Messrs. G. P. Gardner, Jos. 
G. Minot, Patrick Grant, Jr., J. T. Coolidge and W. Lloyd 
Jeffries. 
Lake Yaoiiting.— The well-known sloop Annie Cuthbcrt 
has been rechristened Greyhound, and is now owned by Mr. 
John Prindeville. She has been in the hands of a shipbuilder 
for an overhauling, and will soon meet Cora, one of Pat. 
McGieban'8 cracks. If well-handled we do not think the 
Canadian craft cod hurt Cora's record. The Chicago Yacht 
Club will hold an additional regatta in August, when we hope 
some real sailing will be done by following our Eastern clubs 
in abolishing shifting ballast, aud limiting crews. 
Atlantic Yacht Club. -The annual cruise of this club will 
commence Aug. 3. The flug officer on board the Triton schooner 
has issued tbe following orders : The fleet will rendezvous at 
Wbitestone Bay, Saturday, August 3, at five o’clock p. m.. and 
after arrival of the steamboat from New York, upon signal 
gun from the flagship, will sail for Glen Cove. Sunday, Au-
