1ACHTING-A Few SUGGEsTIoNs TO LANDsvrv or
MARINE PROCLIyITIEs.-Yachtinpi is as vet comma
ratively in its infancy in this country but, as men
OF means and leisure multiply among u.s. this, as
well as all other kinds of rational though rather
expensive, sport, will continue on the increase A
large class OF our young men, enjoying moderate
incomes from business, are, even now beginning to
take more interest in healthy aquatic pastimes than
IN going round on city benders To these we woud
suggest the formation of city clubs Let ten or a
dozen OF them unite in the purchase of sloop; or
let eighteen or twenty invest in schooner; two of
the smaller and three of the larger number could
always find the same time to spare and 80 enjoy
one days cruising each week throughout the sea-
son; always, to avoid quarrelling, agreeing to set
tie every disputed question by lots from the draw
ing OF which there should be no appeal.
For the benefit of all young men who are sensi-
Die enough to entertain suggestion, we will
without going into unnecess lry details about the
construction and general outfit of a sloop which
they had best learn from good builder give n few
practical remarks upon the management .of one
after getting up anchor and starting with a mode
rate breeze, for Sandy Hook Suppose their Hearts,
Delight, Leisure Hour, whatever they like to call
the boat, to be about forty tons, they will find four
or five of their number quite enough to MANAGE
her, under the guide of an experienced captain of
course, supposng that they don't mind losing bit
OF skin off, and gaining a small quantity of tar on
their hands. The most capable and reliable of the
party should take the helm for that is the most re
sponsible post aboard. 1t depends good deal upon
the skill of the steersman, whether YOU run into
steamers in the stream, on to sandy beaches, or
down to Davy Jones locker.

AMERICAN HORSES on THE ENGLISH TURF-Ne,g-
market, Nay l3-Dear Spirit:-IIere we are in the
midst OF racing business hearing, seeing and be-
leVihg IN all sorts of strange tales sights and
stories. This meeting, which will be brouobt IN
It's close before these lines are half way to Liver
pool, has been fruitful in events 1t began in a
most correct way, the very first race having been
won by Prloress. She ran with Poestar for the
Queens Plate (the distance being rather more than
three miles and half, and beat her by fifty wards:
third mare and was left nearly ont of siubt
Starke ran IN handicap on Thursday and was
long way behind. This | was prepared to see for
he carried the highest weight OF anv horse in
the race, and ran at even weights with a good six
year old 1t was sound judgment on the part of Mr.
len Broeck to start him for this handicap, because
he now has shown his horse to the public and he
VIII in future be weighted according to the position
ne hed IN the race. The rule and practice OF bandi
Gaping IN this country is to place every dark
morse, which means horse that has never run, at
the head OF the list Of all horses # the same age as
himself. After they have run, they are weighted
according to their supposed merits.
Starke came over to Europe with very high
character-too high, in fact, to be pleasing to his
owner, and was, consequently, made to carry a
heavy weight. He gave no less than 20 lbs to a
mare named Admiralty, of the same age as him
self. Let me here observe that have never made
single allusion to this horses performances in
America IN any letter, or any sporting periodical
whatever. If he is to land a stake worth winning
Tor Mr.. len Brock, it will be a work of time and
patience to get him into on favorable terms
My friends in America must not expect such an
other victory as PrioreSss to occur in a hurry
The horse, or, may well say horses which have
reached these shores lately have not vet had time
TO be prepared for winning big race. They have
a deal to go through; first to become accmatized
then, to do their work; thirdly, to get decent
weight put upon their backs: next, to have their
health, for which no human being can at any time
be answerable; the fifth part of the business is to
be sure they are good enough; the sixth to lay the
money on, and, as DOgberry says in the play,
"secondly and lastly" to go in and win
Mr.. Harlan's American horses, Lincoln and Gin
clnnati, are each OF them going to run to-day-the
mare in handicap of halt mile and the horse of
mile; each of the entries is ten sovereigns This
Is far better than sending them away from home
and spending a lot of money in travelling; they will
have plenty of time to test the temperature of the
handicappers before next Fall. A good English
jockey is going to ride, which is better than being
too secret, and putting up none but man in their
own stables.
