NEWPORT, Aug. 2G.-The races of the last
two DAYS may justly set down failures. The only
prize taken during the week carried off by the hand
some Madgie, and consequently no yachtman is more
enthusiastic than Capt Loper while the members OF the
Club express unqualified satisfaction that 1t was he who
won and now holds the Challenge Cup of the NewYork
Yacht Club For the last years Capt Loper has never
been absent from single cruise, and, model sailor
his claim TO a high rank has not been questioned He
has owned the Magic the winner Of the Queens Cup
race and in many other contests; the Palmer which to-
day hotly contests the championship with the Columbia
and the Tidal Wave as a light wind boat; the Josephine
recently returned from very successful cruise 10 the
West Indies and now the Madge, which in the past few
days has proved herself able craft He has reached
the venerable age Of 20 years but has nevertheless
abated little of his interest in the sport Capt. N b.
