The ATLANTIC YACHT R~AcE-AMERICAN SHIPS AND
SEANES.-Ihe material facts OF the late Atlantic
yacht race may be briefly told. Three pleasure
yachts. Of some Two hundred tons measurement, start
together from Sandy Hook for the Isle Of Wight at
midday on the .llh or december. Cu the evening
of Christmas day the first one reaches her des'ina-
ton, and within ten hours from her arrival the last
one has come in. After the first dayrhey have not
been visible to each other during thevoyage, each
has sailed upon a different course, eachhas eucoun-
tered heavy gales, and yet they Al reach their goal
nearly together, like well trained. sure footed aud
long winded Arabian horses in a race over the des-
ert. These are the material facts Of this trial Of
speed by our three New York yachts across the
rough Atlantic in the hurricane mouth of December.
The sweepstakes secured by the winner, it may be
said, constitute a fact of some substantial weight;
but this is a mere incident subject to the fortunes Of
war.
The important fact that three little pleasure
schooners have made the Atlantic trip from New
York TO Cowes in the time Of the first astounding
trip Of the steamship GTegt HcSteTR must set ship
builders, merchants and shippers, and naval srchi-
tects withal, in both hemispheres 10 a serious appii-
cation Of the great result here sftainel in the matter
