Yesterday another great day for Hoboken People
may become witty stupid at hor expense and sneer
at the Jersey Eysum, but Hoboken has fine yacht
club, and yesterday brought out TO metc
upon the waters OF the Hudson The course was from
tho stake boat opposite the club house to another
boat up the river some ten mesjust above Fort WASH
ington The entries but few. but they were OF
some OF the best boats OF the club There
s one thing, however which s decidedly Objectionable
IN yachting at present carried on Year after year
the eeest boats are put in and carry away prizes which
should be left to other competors For many
the Julia took every prizc of the New York Club.
When tho superiority OF yacht is conceded 1t seems
entirely reasonable that she should be withdrawn either
by her the rules OF the club and give place for
others to participate which have no chance OF
ming against the champion This practice deters many
beats from entering, and spols the sports
upon the water.
THE ENTRIES.
