TIE YACHT TIDAL WAVE.

To TIE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
There have been three ocean races twenty miles
to windward and return; only one Of the three was
made In time, w.: that tho 2sth of September
1870. At that race the Dauntless, Tidal wave and
Madeleine were the wii,ning yachts. The object "
this communication Is simply to compare the sailing
done In that race with the sailing Of the Cambria
and sappho on tue 18TH inst. We cannot make q
comparison or the efforts of the Dauntless and Cam
bra on the 18th inst. for the that they d
not run the whole distance. 1t win be remembered
however, by the readers or the HERALD that the
statements made in all the papers 60 the eject

let us see what the facts in The case are.
II will be seen by examination that The Dauntless
and Tidal Wave made The iory mile race on
the 2sth OF September III six hours, twelve minutes
ard thirty seconds, and thai they sailed NJ least
fry-lye miles, taking the angles IN beating 10 wind
miles per hour: and yet gold stated thar there was
at no time over three and half knot breeze. i

Il may be said by thst the wind was light

Well, lei US compare the time Of the Sappno with
that OF the Tidal Wave In tile OF twenty miles 10

Notwithstanding this fact. the papers stated that
