The famous little schooner yacht Magic. whoso
name il now as familiar household word, n also
at New London. Her new owner, Mr.. Lester WAL
lack has enjoyed some very pleasant cruises during
the past few weeks. Mr.. wallack is becoming a
earnest ana enthusiastic yacntmau, and will doubt
less bring into requisition the very best racing
powers of hs handsome craft in the regattas OF next
year.
The Palmer is anchored at Newport. Mr. eely-
vesant encouraged by her excellent display during
the season. intends to make some improvements, by
which he hopes co make the Palmer sail even faster
than she has already DONE Her qualities before tho
wind were this year satisfactorily demonstrated. 4
The Fiectwing Is at New London. This splendid
vessel did not have much opportunity for the EXIT
bitiOn OF her capacities during the season. Her
owner, Mr.. George A. Osgood. was, nevertheless,
ANXIOUS 10 match her against the Cambria, and, In
fact issued challenge to that effect but the depar-
ture OF Mr.. Ashbury for the West prevented salts
factory completion OF the necessary arrangements.
The new schooner yacht Tarolinta. owned by the
Messrs. Kent, Is anchored or the Long Island
shore. She has not yet been laid up for the
and will continue cruising for perhaps two shree
weeks to conc.
Mr. Franklin Osgood, sterling yachtman, who
has laborcd zealously to advance the interests Of
the pleasure navy OF this country, VIII doubtless be
induced to putld schooner yacht for the conf
Ing season. His long experience and careful obser-
yat0n Will assuredly enable him to select model
that cannot fail to be productive OF the most satis
factory results. Mr.. Osgood favors the idea OF
plenty OF beam, the better to enable a vessel to
stand up well under full spread OF canvas. Should
Mr.. Osgo0d accedo 10 the request or ms many
friends and add another schooner to the splendid
cet OF the New YORK Yacht CLUB 1t is not at all
likely that International contest may take place
during she coming between her ana the craft
being built Tor Mr.. Ashbury In England. such
a race would be replete with interest. sts-R
The Madeleine win shortly be laid up for the win
ter Commodore jacob voorhts, Jr., intends to
iengthen her some ten or fifteen feet and to make
other alterations.
Mr.. Ashbury's new yacht will be over three hun
dIed tons and will be ready by next season. She s
to have great many American improvements, for
MI Ashbury has been close student Of the appa-
ratns, gear and graceful surroundings our yachts
and has jndiciOusly profted by his experience.
The Tidal Wave is at Nyack, where she will remain
for the winter. Commodore William yoorhis. fol-
lowing suit will also make some alterations on his
yacht. *Qh2t
