Tho Great Ocean Yacht Rnce-The Henrietta
| the Winner.
The cable, which has been silent for, some
days, spoke last evening and brought us
the gratifying intelligence that the three
| yachts which started on the great ocean
race on the llth instant had all arrived
safely at their destination, and that the
Henrietta was the winner. The victorious
yacht passed the Needles on Christmas day,
having made The passage in the unprecc-
dented time Of thirteen days and twenty-five
hours. She experienced some rough weather,
and on the eighth day out had to heave to in
heavy gale but she behaved splendidly all
the voyage aud fully justified the expectations
| Of those who expressed confidence in her
seaworthy qualities. The Fleetwing and the
vesta also made splendid runs, arriving
at the Needles on the following day in good
condition. There was one melancholy circunl-
stance, however, attending this unprecedented
adventure Of pleasure sailing yschts-thc loss
Of six men, who were swept from the bowsprit
Of the Fleetwing in gale. This sad misfortune
mars what would otherwise be an event Of un-
mixed qualification to this community and the
American people. The Henrietta, on starting,
took middle course, the Flsetwing going to
the north and the vesta to the south of her
track. She saw nothing Of either OF her com
petitors after the first day out.
This great race marks the commencement Of
q new era In yachting and In the construction
Of sailing vessels Henceiorth we may expect
annually TO see American yachts on the
Atlantic race course, and the yachts Of the
British squadron arriving in our harbor on
similar trials Of speed. The three pioneer sd-
venturers have braved the dangers Of an ocean
race In the roughest and most threatening
season, and future races will create no excite
ment equal to that attendant upon their gallant
