the Tidal Wave on the 14th Inst. Sue Will be much
better rugged than she was in the recent regatta
UnbOunded enthusiasm prevails among yachtmen
the time approaches for the arrival of Mr. Ashbury
with the Cambria. Nearly every schooner Is getting
ready for sea- and the Dauntess and her competitor
will receive a warm welcome.
One OF the finest gems Of construction and rig is

Atlantic Club III the regatta she came In twelve
minutes ahead or the entire squadron and that too

and gan topsail Her beam Is eleven feet, her depth

the Atlantic Club last Thursday has been awarded

ample which our members would do well to follow.
The Cambria is entered for oil the races and op-
portunity Is lost for testing her speed phe gentle
men OF the New York Yacht Club, with but few ex-
ceptons seem nervousy afraid OF their boats being
beaten. and the backing out from regattas and sail
ing about under "white feather siRnan foresail
down, and looking on from the outskirts OF the
racing scene, has become a matter OF general ob.
servation. Upon the present occasion, as all the
schooners are to meet the Cambria probably during
August, as the competitor for the American Cup Il
is expected that ts opportunity will not be lost for
getting some idea OF the relative speed OF yachts
and full entry is certainly TO be calculated upon.
