YACHTING NOTES FROM THE HUB. 
Sooth Boston, May 5th, 1875. 
Editor Forest *xd Stream:— 
The cold weather of lust, mouth Interfered somewhat with yachting af- 
fairs at the Point, blit there are a fair number of yachts at their moor- 
ings, mid tho licet is rapidly increasing. Bibber’s yard is neurly empty, 
the Kitty, Wbl towing, and a few smaller lionts being all that are not yet 
launched. Cupt. Pettinglll’s new boot is all ready for the water, though 
she has not yet recoivod her sail. But few of tho boats on Pierce’s 
wharf have been put off as yet, quite a number of them being for salo, 
go that their owners are in no hurry to launch them. Tho sloop built by 
Messrs. Pierce for Cupt. Peabody is in tho water. She is a very hand- 
some boat, and looks as though she would prove quite fast. The Nettle, 
built by Pawley and owned by Capt Kilcy, was luunchcd some days ago. 
She eails quite well. The Posy is being altered to a sloop rig, which, It 
is hoped, will increase her speed. The Wanderer Ims been put In first- 
class order for racing, and the Fannie lias been scraped and painted, and 
will probably be allont in less than u week. By two weeks tho season 
will have fairly commenced. Yours, etc., Ready About. 
— Messrs. Higgins and GifFonl of Gloucester, who have 
already more titan a local repulalion as yacht builders, have 
on the ways a pleasure craft for Mr. Lewis II. Merchant, 
that promises to be a clipper. All her appurtenances are 
lirst class and her model extremely graceful. 
—Shelter Island promises lobe well patronized litis Sum- 
mer. The Boston Yacht Club have purchased a portion of 
the island and are creeling a fine club house. We hear of 
a number of New York families who will make their Sum- 
mer sojourn there. 
— General Townsend’s fine sloop Annie is filling out at 
the Say ville basin under the direction of Capt. Davis. The 
Annie is having a new mast and oilier alterations. Gen. 
Townsend makes Fire Island bis headquarters, and cruises 
in “blue water" as well as in the more sheltered bay. 
The Fiona. — The anticipations formed regarding the 
visit of Mr. Boucher’s celebrated cutter, arc not likely to 
he realized. The Field now states that Mr. B. lias no in- 
tention of visiting this country, at least with the Fiona. 
Regattas on the Delaware.— The regatta of tho Dela- 
ware River yacht club, of Philadelphia, was held Monday, 
May loth, their boats sailing from the West Jersey railroad 
wharf, Camden, around the Chester buoy and return. 
There were seven entries: Selby, John Rutter, captain; 
Adelphia, James Wheeler, captain; Sappho, William Mid- 
dleton, captaiu; Slavcn, James Collins, caplain; Fashion, 
William Ilarpcr, captain; Barclay, Frank Ivelley, captain; 
Orion, John Harper, captaiu. These boats are from 23 to 
26 feet long. 
Tlie start was made at 10:30, with a heavy westerly wind, 
which freshened into a young gale by the lime the boats 
got off the mouth of the Schuylkill. The Adelphia and 
Barclay are both new boats. At the buoy the Adelphia 
was first, and in all probability the Slaven would have been 
second if she had not had the misfortune to get bottom up- 
wards after passing the Block House. Soon after the Bai- 
ley carried away her gaff band, and was out of the race. 
The Adelphia came in first at 3:03, winning the champion 
flag. The Selby took the second prize, a silver pitcher, 
and the Fashion the third, a cup. 
Tiie Camden (N. T.) Yacht Club held their regatta the 
same date and over the same course, starting at ten A. M. 
There were three entries of twenty feet yachts, the George 
AY, Howard, T. Griflin, captain; John P. Feldeu, William 
Llewellyn, captain; and J. C. Dubman, William Weaver, 
captain. The Howard upset on her way to the starting 
point, and the race was sailed by the other two, the Dub- 
man winning the champion flag, and the Felden taking the 
second prize, a handsome goblet. 
1 made a mistake in saying last week that the Philadel- 
phia yacht club’s regatta would be May 24th. It is fixed 
for June 14th, allhough Ebener's regatta will come off the 
former dale. There will be about ninety boats in the Phil- 
adelphia yacht club’s regatta, there being nearly forty third 
class boats, “tuck ups,” already entered. Sculls.

Columbia College Athletic Spouts.— Tho Columbia 
College Association held its meeting on Saturday last on 
the grounds of the New York Athletic Club nt Mott Haven. 
The weather was not all that could be desired, but the live- 
liest interest was taken in the proceedings and tho meeting 
was a succes. The games opened with the one mile walk, 
which was won in good style by C. W. Francis, *77, in 9m. 
Is. In throwing tho base ball E. A. Wetmore, 8. of M. '75, 
was victorious, bis throw, with the wind, being 309 feet 4 
inches. Following this tho 100 yards spin brought four 
starters to the post; Silas C. Root, '75 was successful in 11$ 
s. A hurdle race over eight hurdles, twelve yards apart, 
was won by C. L. Lindley, S. of M. '77 in 18 s. Six candi- 
dates faced the starter for the one mile race, J. F. Renwick, 
'76 being the winner in 5m. 17. Jus. W. Pryor, '78, won 
the running high jump, clearing 4 ft. 11 in. I'lie 100 yard's 
three legged race fell to Cornell, S. of M. '77, and Van Bus- 
kerclc, same class; time, 13$ s. Five started for the three- 
mile walk, W- W. Bliven, '78, winning in 30 m. 15js. G. 
M. Hammond, '78, won the half mile spin in 2 m. 184s. In 
the running long jump Bogert cleared 16 ft. 8 in. and won. 
Nine started for the si ranger’s handicap 100 yards race; 
Jewett won, his best heal being 11$ seconds. II. L. Bogert, 
'78, won the standing long jump, clearing 9 ft. 4 in. Con- 
solation race one-quarter of a mile, was u match between 
Walker, '78, and Robbe, '77, the former winning in 1 m. 2s. 
Piunceton Collbob, May 8th, 1875. 
Editor Forest and Stream:— 
Tho work of tho season has not begun In earliest. Tho pleiisaut 
weather of tho past few days has greatly facilitated athletics here, both 
on the wuter and in the Held. Tho University crew remained here during 
th6 entire vacation of two weeks, uDd kept hard at work either on the 
canal or in the gymnasium throughout tho entire period. It Is unneces- 
sary to add that Us members improved wonderfully In every way I am 
now able to name the crew, os it was decided upon definitely a few days 
since; also I am happy to write that It is within iny power to give a few 
statistics concerning It, which, although they may astonish some, arc 
nearly exact— in fact, as much so as possible. The following are their 
names, ages, weight, and height respectively and in order:

;ht 1734 
pounds, 
and the height about 0 feet. I cannot give tho chest and arm measure- 
ment entire. Tho smallest chest, (Mr. Nicoli's) measures nearly 42 inches, 
and tlie largest (Mr. Purmloy’s) about 45. Tho biceps muscles average 
from 13 to 151 inches in circumference. The crow rows about eight miles 
dully. All of Us members are In line condition physically, and enjoy 
perfect health. The Freshmen are somewhat backward, though they arc 
os far udvanccd now as tho '77 crow wim at this time last Spring. Them 
is no lack of material iu tho ten men trmnlug for the Freshman crow, 
and there seems to bo no reason to believe that a good six will not bo 
chosen. Our navy has been augmented recently by the addition of a 
very handsome slx-onred gig, made expressly for the university. -It does 
great credit to its builder, Mr. Fearon. The niue have been very assid- 
uous iu practice of late. Matches have been arranged with the Chel- 
sea uud Flyaways for next week. On Saturday, IStli lust., tho Harvard 
nine will play us tho lirst game for tho college championship on tlie 
Princeton grounds. This afternoon, at two o'clock, the annual Senior 
Class gymnastic contest took place In tho gymnasium. The contestants 
weie as follows: T. A. Sheldon, J. II. Lionberger, It. J. Hall, F. Biddle, 
W. P. Cummings, W. S. Cheesinan, .Jr., E. W. Greenough, W. S. 
Archer, C. C. Allen. The Judges were A. Marquand, ’71; J. Dulles, 
and Robt. Hull, ’78. Rheinhnrd's orchestra, of Newark, furnished the 
music. The flrst and second prizes, for the two best generel gymnasts, 
were gold medals, valued at $50 each, given by Messrs. Chas. Alexander, 
•6i). and J. C. Drayton, '73. The third prize, for heavy weights, was a 
gold medul worth $25, offered by the contestants themselves. There was 
a fourth prize given to the one excelling in the use of the Indian clubs. 
The coutest was tho best ever held hero. Mr. T A. Sheldon's feats on 
tho horizontal bar and the trapeze wero worthy tho skill and strength of 
a professional gymnast. He secured tho flrst general medal as well as 
the prize for swinging the clubs. Tho second gonoral prize was won by 
J. 11. Lionberger, uud the heavyweight medal was worthily conferred 
upon W. S Archer, whoso groat strength and pluck were well ap- 
plauded as thoy were exhibited In his feats ou tho peg-pole, tho rings, 
and the horizontal bar. At the close of the contest the medals were dis- 
tributed, and a present of a hundsomo sum of money was made by tho 
contestants to Mr. Goldie, our favorite instructor in gymnastics. 
QUIDVIS. 
Undine Barge Club,— O n Saturday, May 8tli, there 
was uu exciting race between two four oared shell crews of 
the Undine, selected from the eight oared crew that pulled 
the Crescents on the 27lh u It. 
Heavy crew— Shell Whisper— T. Frothingham, stroke, 
107 Ids.; W. II. Allison, 3, 160 lbs.; George Bright, 2, 148 
lbs. ; I. Norris Dellnven, bow, 148. Time, 10in. 
Light crew— Shell Atalanta — I. Gillingham, stroke, 135 
lbs. ; Charles K. Burncs, 3, 135 lbs.; John R. Baker, Jr., 2, 
143 lbs. ; A. S. Roberts, Jr., bow, 130 lbs. Time, 10m. 
23s. 
National course, one and a half miles straightaway. Wm, 
II. Tucker, umpire; B. M. Ewing, judge. 
Stiff southwest wind, and water lumpy at the start, but 
not seriously interfering with shell rowing. The Atalantas 
got away perhaps half u length in advance, and for a little 
over half a mile there was uo change in the relative posi- 
tion of the two boats, both pulling at thirty-nine. Off 
Laurel Hill the extra avoirdupois— more than twenty pounds 
per man— began to tell on the Whisper, which went to the 
front and stayed there. Off Strawberry Mansion the little 
fellows broke up badly, pulling wild, No. 2 smashing his 
outrigger; but settling down again at thirty-eight to the 
minute they made a plucky chase of it, coming iu some 
seven lengths too late to win. This club has been very ac- 
tive siucc the season opened, and should by all means put 
in a four, aud, well, a pair, in the June regatta. Having 
split their eight into two fours, couldn’t they make a couple 
of pairs out "of their fours, and have another club race? 
Sculls. 
— The Toronto rowing club at its annual meeting, May 
3d, showed 130 members. Tlie following officers were 
chosen: President, Angus Morrison, 1st Vice President, J. 
Shivers Birchall; 2d Vice President, Robert W. Elliott; 
Brooklyn, May 10th, 1875. 
Editor Forest and Stream:— 
Thu Spring meeting of tliu Athletic Association of Stevens' College,

high jumps; also long jump, putting tho stone, and throwing the base 
ball, etc. I will lot you know tlie results. C. P. W. 
Rational g&gtimes. 
Opening of the Cricket Season.— A well played match 
between the Germantown and Young America clubs upofl 
the Germantown ground on Saturday, 8th instant, opened 
the cricket season of 1875. The ground was rather soft, 
and the wind against the bowlers, but, notwithstanding, 
the play was good for the first mutch of a season, the bowl- 
ing of Caldwell and Dan Ncwhall notably so. The match 
was played upon the “a vertigo system," the game, if not 
concluded, to he decided in favor of the side averaging the 
most runs per wicket. This arrangement will be adopted 
by the Philadelphia clubs, and will greatly add to the in- 
terest of one day matches, where it is almost impossible to 
get more than well into the second inning before game 
must be called. The Young Americas went first to the 
bat, and, assisted by some loose fielding, ran up their score 
to 173 runs when the tenth wicket fell. George Ncwhall 
contributed 55, among whicli were two four and four three 
hits. John Large, 40; H. Ncwhall, 27; and R. S. Newhall, 
15. The Germantowns went in and made a round hundred, 
of which the great feature was the steady and careful bat- 
ting of Tom Hargreaves, who added 34 to the score, when 
he offered the first chance, which was taken by Bob New- 
hall. The 10 of Brown, 12 of John Hargreaves, and 14 of 
Caldwell, all well earned, completed tho double figures. 
Tho Young Americas sent them in again, and when tho 
game was called, six wickets down, they had added 89 
more to the hundred, 30 of which were to the credit of 
John Hargreaves, and 18 to “Joe " This gave the victory 
to the Young Americas, whoso 173 runs to ten wickets gnvo 
an average of over 17, while tho Germantown's 189 to six- 
teen wickets made their average less than 12. 
An interesting game between the Philadelphia and Ger- 
mantown clubs will be played next Saturday. Soulij. 
The Professional Arena.— The professional campaign 
for 1875 is uow in full operation, and thus fur the three 
leading contestants in tlie arena are the Bostons, (champions) 
Hartford, and Athletic clubs, three teams in the race 
for the pennant which were placed in the front by shrewd 
observers of the strength of the contesting nines for 1875 
ns early as March last. Tho record of the professional 
championship games ns is follows:—
