YANKEE YACHTING. 
HARLEM REGATTA. 
The race of yachts of 28 feet and under, came off on 
Thursday, the 14th <.f September. The morning was beau- 
tiful, and to make it more so, a strong north-cast wind was 
blowing. About two o'clock, p.m., tho boats were ordered up 
to their places by the judges, Messrs. Boyce and licddiug. 
The course of the race was from the stake-boat anchored otl 
Harlem Bridge, through the hills aiul up to the Last river to 
Throgg’a Point and back, making the distance about twenty 
miles. The prize was $50. The following yachts wore 
having the smartest little boat around New York ; if it aiut 
so, let them bring along their boats, for the Gipseys (or, at 
any rate, their pockets), are open to conviction. 
of which was lost, the other won ; and two matches with 
tho Ancaster Club, both of which were won. The following

Two minutes were allowed to the boats for dinerence oi 
leugtb. Very soon after the start it was pretty evident that 
the contest was between the Telegraph, Quaker, Clickener, 
and Challenge. As soon as tho boats turned towards tho 
buoy, after passrng through the hills, a distanco of ubout 
eight miles lay before them, a dead beat to windward, 
aud after passing Riker's Island, the Telegraph began to have 
it all her own way, and turned the buoy ahead of all her 
competitors. She was handled by Mr. Henry Taylor, who 
did her justice. After turning the buoy, they started lor 
home, and never was a more beautiful run seen. About two 
hours after they started, it began to rain lively, but every- 
thing went off satisfactorily to those engaged in the race, and 
also to the spectators, ond the judges’ decision was received 
with no grumbling. Below i* the time the yachts turned the 
stake-boat, as placed by the judges' decision : —

THE REGATTA AT HOBOKEN, NEW YORK. 
Hoboken , N.J., Oct. 2, 1S54. 
The great boat-race of the season came off here last Friday, 
The prizes were offered by Capt. A. Barker, mine host ot the 
Atlantic, amounting to the very handsome sum of $140, in 
three prizes, of $75, $40, aud $25. The race was open to 
all sail-boats of 28 feet aud under ; to sail from Ilobokeu, 
around stake-boat in Buttermilk Channel, back to Hoboken, 
and repeat, making twenty miles ; small boats to have the 
start of two minutes per foot. The race was to come off the 
week before last, but there being scarcely any wind on tho 
day appointed, it was postponed to Thursday, September 18. 
Although on the first day there was no wind, still the “boys " 
wanted to have a race, so Captain Barker offered a purse of 
$25, just to keep them quiet till the great race came off. 
This purse was won by himself in the Gipsey, with ease, 
though this was only a drifting match. Last Thursday they 
started, according to notice, twelve boats in all, no wind and 
strong tide. This was apparently the most closely contested 
race on record, for after going once over the course, the 
whole twelve boats came in so close together, that you could 
have stepped through the fleet, from oue to the other, uud 
no judges could have told which was ahead. This will be 
understood better when we state that the boats were all picked 
up drifting around the bay, aud towed to Hoboken by a 
steamboat kindly chartered by Captain Barker. So the race 
was postponed till the next day, Friday, September 29. 
This day they had wind euougli, it blowing half a gale 
from the north, with a flood tide. It was concluded to start 
all the boats together, and make the allowance for length on 
coming in. The following boats were entered ’. — 
JVV shall feel obliged by the Secretaries of " Rotring Clubs,” and others 
forwarding their Appointments of Matches or Notices of Meeting* to

CRICKET. 
CRICKET AT IFFLEY. 
Tho closing match of tho season of this club was played at 
Iffley; the first eleven playing twenty-four. On tho side of 
tho eleven, tho batting of Messrs. 11. Blay, J. Danbo, Rev. 
Dr. Warburtou, and It. Blay — tho former scoring 47 and 37 — 
was exoellent. The victory of tho cloven may bo nmiuly 
attributed to the excellent bowling of Messrs. It. and H. 
Blay, which was much admired by upward* of seventy mem- 
bers of this prosperous club. A handsome dinner was served 
on the ground. The chair was taken by tho llev. l)r. War- 
burton, vicar of Iftloy (a staunch supporter of cricket), 
surrounded by a host of the gentry of tho village.

All started, except the Flirt and Grecian, they deeming it 
much more prudent to remain where they were, it being 
rather rough for small craft. At 1.20 p.m., the word was 
given to go, and oft' they went all iu a heap. The Olivia, in 
getting off, got entangled with the Ella, and the Mystery the 
next moment got entangled with both, and all three drifted 
foul of the Maria; and by the time they got clear and in 
order agaiu, the other boats were off Jersey City ; so they 
returned home again. They had a flue time of it, going 
down before the wind, but on rounding the stake-boat, and 
coming close-hauled, they told a different talc. Tho Celeste 
could uot carry at all, aud had to settle away to bale out, 
and came home under balance-reef. The Louisa Jane “ up 
stick” aud ran away from it. The Belle of Greeupoiut got 
foul of another boat off Pier No. 1 N. R., and capsized. The 
other boats carried through, aud rounded the stake-boat at 
Hoboken the first time as follows : —

The original ten were now reduced to five, and they went 
down again before the wind, seeming almost to fly over the 
water. On this round the Eliza carried away her jib-boom 
and withdrew, leaving the other four to tight it out. They 
all got safely home, though the Pool ouce ruu under, and 
they had to shake her up to bale out, rounding the stake- 
boat as follows : —

The Gipsey takiug the first prize, $75; Clickener the 
second, $40 ; and the Austin the third, $25. 
Thus ended one of the finest races we have ever witnessed. 
There was no chance to take advantage of eddies, catspaws, 
sculling, pulling, &o., but it was fair and square sailiug ; the 
boats did the business, aud not those who sailed them. The 
result of the race greatly astonished the knowing ones, who 
all supposed that the Gipsey, being so flat and light, would 
stand no chance at all iu a sea, especially against the famous 
John S. Austin (formerly the George Clark) ; and when the 
result was announced that the Gipsey beat her teu minutes 
(allowing time for size), they could scarce believe it. 
After the race, there was some talk about a match between 
the Eliza and the Gipsey, but the former afterwards declined 
it. I hear that the Gipsey is now open for a match, with 
anything afloat, for pretty much any amount. While this 
remains so, I think we may claim for Hoboken the credit of 
S!

A Courteous Gentleman.— A tradesman, bring in tho 
Rue St. Honor<5, possesses n young and pretty wife, who is 
passionately fond of tho theatre, but being continually 
occupied in business, he is rarely able to indulge her. A few 
days ago she got a ticket for tho Porto St. Martin, and tell- 
ing him that it had been given to her, asked him to accom- 
pany her. Ho promised, but when evening came was unable 
to go. Tho wife, who was c» grande toilette, was furious at 
her disappointment, but determined not to bo baulked, she 
made her servant accompany her. On leaving the theatre 
she was followed by two young men, who were very insolent. 
To escape them she called a cob that was passing ; but tho 
coachman made a sign that he had some oue iu tho vehicle. 
She was turning away, when the cab stopped, and an ele- 
gantly dressed young man jumped from it. “I see, ladies,” 
lie said, with a low bow, “ that you are annoyed by two inso- 
lent fellows. Deign to ucccpt this cab — I will seek for 
another.” The tradeswoman accepted with thanks, and the 
gentleman handed her and her servant in with the greatest 
politeness. She gave her address to tho cabman, aud the 
vehicle drove off. Arrived near her own residence she 
stopped, aud asked what there was to pay. “21f. 75c.. "said 
the cabman. “What, 21 f. f cried tho tradeswoman in astonish- 
ment “ Why, you have only come from the Porte St. Denis, 
and have not beeu half an hour ou the way." “ Do uot talk 
nonsense," said the cabman, rudely, “ I have been driving tho 
gentleman about since morning. But where is ho ' Disap- 
peared f” Ou discovering that his fare really had disappeared 
the man thought tho women wore in connivance with him 
to cheat him, and he became very insolent. The trades- 
woman had not money enough to satisfy his demand, and 
he gave her and her companion into custody. They had to 
pass the whole night in tho guard house de la Lingerie, and 
were not released until the next morning, wheu the trades- 
man claimed them, and iudemuified the coachman. The 
tradeswoman vows that she will never go to the play again 
without her husband.
