_EnNGiish Brntiarps.—When men can be found who 
like Cook, not only in a match play for, but make such 
marvelous strokes, what may not happen in the billiard 
world in the next ten years? It was not uncommon to 
heat it said that we should never see -anyone like Roberts; 
and we recollect a marker, an old man, at a room in Ox- 
ford street, who used to maintain the opinion single-handed 
against the jeers of almost everyone who frequented them, 
that ‘“‘billiards was yet in its infancy, and that before long 
Roberts’s breaks would be thought nothing of.” This old 
man seems truly to have had the gift of prophecy, and we 
wonder what the old habitués of the room in question say to 
the present handicap which takes place at the Guildhall 
Tavern on the 8th of next month, where fice men are 
handicapped to give Roberts 120 points ina game of only 
500 up, two second-class players give him ten, and four 
more start level with him?—Land and Water. 
Inter-Cotitecrate Foor Baun.—Princeion vs. Yale.—A 
game of Foot Ball was played at Hamilton Park, New 
Haven, on Saturday, Nov. 15th, between the Twenties of 
Princeton and Yale. The grounds were the lower portion 
of the inclosure of a half-mile track and opposite the judges’ 
stand. The boundaries were well defined by posts and 
rope, while the turf was all that could be desired. 
Princeton having won the toss, chose the extreme end of 
the grounds with first ‘‘buck.” A ‘‘buck” is when the ball 
is first kicked and opens a game. The contest was a spirit- 
ed one for about forty minutes, when the ball became cut, 
and a delay of twenty-five minutes was necessitated, in 
order to procure another ball from the city. This interval 
was not without its benefit to the visitors. Yalehada style 
of “butting” against a man when in pursuit of the ball, 
and at first, our rustics (?) were unable to cope advantage- 
ously against it, but our men proved themselves apt pupils, 
and when play was resumed, the orange waved triumphant 
over many a wearer of the blue, who had ‘‘gone to grass.” 
The strength of our play was in keeping the ball in the 
centre of the field, while Yale worked vigorously on the 
flanks. The manner in which our boys “batted” and fol- 
lowed up the bail, was the secret of their signal success. 
The first goal was contested for an hour and twenty minutes, 
when Beach kicked the ball over the goal and Princeton 
had started the ball of victory rolling. 
This termination of the first. goal seemed to take all the 
‘vim” out of the wearers of the blue. Our boys at first 
acting rather on the defensive, and saving their wind, enter- 
ed upon the second contest with renewed zeal and vigor. 
In twenty-five minutes the ball again was sent through the 
goal by Beach, with the representatives of Princeton in high 
spirits. 
The third goal was won in ten minutes, the ball being 
forced home from the start, while Yale seemed utterly 
powerless to prevent their defeat. Elder is accorded the 
eredit of kicking the ball home. 
The fourth goal was commenced, but this time the game 
had to be called at five o’clock, to allow our men to reach 
the 5:20 train for New York. 
The best of feelings prevailed between the contestants, 
and we cannot speak too highly of the courteous and gen- 
tlemanly treatment received at the hands of those whom we 
visited. We sincerely hope that other institutions, seeing 
our spirit of brotherhood, may follow in our footsteps, and 
that each College may form a potent and enduring link in 
the chain of fraternal affection and generous rivalry. 
The players were :— 
Yale—Deming and Peters, Post Graduates; Halsted, 
Stokes, Waterman, Humphrey, Scudder, Bushnell, Sher-

—An interesting series of quoit matches took place at 
Cleaver’s ‘Light House” grounds, Brooklyn, November 
20th, the occasion being the last match of the season in 
Brooklyn, and the return match of the series between 
Brown and Mitchelson, the first of which was won by 
Brown the previous week. The opening play of the after- 
noon was a scrub match between Messrs. Hudson and Peck 
on the one side, and Miller and Woods on the other, the 
latter winning by creditable up-hill play by a score of 
twenty-one to nineteen. The match between Brown and

Eprror Forest anp STREAM:— 
Tsend you an account of the Beverly Yacht Club for the 
season. The club is formed forsuch yachts as are too small 
to be admittted to the Hastern Yacht Club, namely, those of 
thirty feet or uuder, on the water line, and at the end of its 
second year numbers over 100 members and about fifty 
yachts. The yachts ave divided into three classes accord. 
ing to their size. There are five regular regattas each year, 
where prizes are given to the winning yachts with club al- 
lowances in each class. There is also in each class a cham- 
pion pennant which is taken by the first boat without allow- 
ance, and held till the next regatta, finally becoming the 
property of the yacht winning it the greatest number of imes. 
In the following races the yachts are set down in the order 
of the actual time:

One of the boats belonging to the club, the Firefly, has 
made a better record, as far as the number of prizes goes, 
than any other yacht in the country. She was built last 
spring by Pierce, of South Boston, for Commodore Bur- 
gess. Her dimensions are:—Length on water line, 21 feet 
6 inches; beam, 10 feet; draught, 1 foot 10 inches. She 
sailed last season in six regattas of the Beverly Yacht Club, 
taking five first prizes and the champion pennant; in four 
regattas of the Dorchester Yacht Club, taking three first 
and one second prizes, besides the champion cup; and in 
one regatta of the Lynn Yacht Club, taking the first prize, 
making in all eleven first and one second prizes in eleven 
Traces. 
The Peri was built last spring by Hereshoff for Mr. 8. 
Burgess, is cat-rigged, measures 18 feet on the water line, 
8 feet 3 inches beam, 1 foot 6 inches draught, and has taken 
the champion pennant, four first prizes and one second

prize from the Beverly Yacht Club in five races; also taking 
the champion cup, three first prizes and one second from 
the Dorchester Yacht Club in five races. 
The Tulip was built in the spring of 1872 by Hereshoff 
for Mr. 8. Burgess, was sold this spring, and was repur- 
chased by Mr. Walter Burgess about the middle of July, 
after which she won three first prizes and the champion 
pennant, and one second prize from the Beverly Yacht 
Club in four races, and one first prize trom the Dorchester 
Yacht Club in the only race she entered. 
The Waif was built last spring by Mayberry, of Quincy, 
for E. W. Codman, Esq., and though she was designed for 
comfort rather than racing, she took a prize in every race 
she entered. She is sloop-rigged and measures 28 feet 3 
inches on the water line, 11 feet 10 inches beam, and 2 feet 
5 inches in draught. All these boats are centre-board 
yachts. A Memper. 
—Our article on American Oarsmen vs. English, which 
appeared in these columns two weeks ago, seems to have 
attracted a good deal of attention. We publish from 
the London F¥eld another view of the matter, and let it past 
without commeut merely saying: Will you have the kind- 
ness to exert yourselves a little, in fact just sufficient to 
give us a trial over here for once, with a good four-oared 
crew? for it will have to be first-class to win: 
“The decision of the Henley Committee to row all four- 
oared races without coxswains has not given general satis- 
faction, as it is felt that it is handicapping severely rowing 
clubs situate in places like Dublin, where it is not possible 
to get any coaching from the bank, and where men are 
obliged to rely for nearly all their good coaching on the 
meittor in the stern. 
The crews that have appeared from time to time on 
English waters from America, io whom we owe the intro- 
duction of coxswainless fours, were chiefly remarkable for 
every fault of form that, in addition to annoying every true 
connoisseur’s eye, prevent men from exercising their full 
strength to the advantage of their boat’s speed. We may 
fairly lay the account of this general want of form in a 
great degree to the too general use of coxswainless fours on 
the other side of the Atlantic; and it is to be hoped that 
our form may not suffer in coming years from the same 
cause. 
University men, however, are not likely to let themselves 
be behind the age in any point connected with rowing, and 
will spare no pains to prevent any new legislation with re- 
gard to racing having a prejudicial effect upon either their 
form or their speed.” 
EpucaTiInG YACHTSMEN.—In Hunt’s list there are given 
the names of between two and three thousand yachts, vary- 
ing from the stately 300-ton schooner of the Solent down to: 
the little 5-ton cutter of the Thames and Mersey. Hvery 
one of these is called a yacht. Surely the Board of Trade 
does not imagine that the masters of all these are ever 
likely to pass such an examination as they put forward, or 
to teach these men how to handle a yacht in the fine weather’ 
of summer? Why, any one of these men knows better how: 
to sail his little vessel—how to deal with her under any cir- 
cumstances in which bad weather or other causes are ever’ 
likely to place her—than any half-dozen sea-going captains 
you could find. These latter have to hand over their ship 
to the pilot directly they come near the coast; whilst the 
yacht captains who are to be instructed know every nook 
and corner of the coast, every buoy, beacon, and set of the 
tide, as well as they know their own names, and nineteen: 
out of twenty yachts never go out of sight of some one or~ 
other of these marks. As far as the larger yachts are con-- 
cerned, some of which do go to foreign waters, let the: 
Board of Trade take care of the owners of these, if it thinks: 
they are such fools as not to be able to take care of them~ 
selves. I presume no owner would go a distant voyage in 
his yacht without being thoroughly satisfied of the com- 
petency of his captain; I believe self-preservation to be a 
more powerful motive than any Government regulation. It 
must not be forgotten that yachtsmen go in their yachts 
themselves. A well-appointed yacht, large or small, has 
cuarantees of safety traveling ships could not have. A 
yacht does not overload, and most yacht-owners consult 
their barometer and avoid going out in present or prospec- 
tive bad weather, from considerations of comfort to them- 
selves and others they may have on board. Every yacht 
carries the owner himself, often his family, all he holds 
dear in the world.—London Field. 
—The College Argus, Middletown, Ct., says— 
The Wesleyan navy is growing fast, as will be seen when 
we say that the boat-house (which, by the way, is raised 
five feet from its old position) contains nine shell-boats 
owned in college, as follows: University practice boat, 
just bought from Yale ’74, six months old, fitted with slid- 
ing seats and English oars; ’76, shell, bought from the uni- 
versity; ’75, shell; ’77, shell, bought from Yale ’75; ’76, 
gig; double scull, owned by Blake and Holcomb, °76; three 
single sculls, owned respectively by Stow, 75, Heermans, 
75, and Andrus, *77. The rents charged for use of the 
boat-house to persons in college will be: For six-oared 
boats, $15 per year: four oars, $8; and pair oars, $6. 
Closets extra.
