THE STOCKBRIDGE COURSE AND IDEALS.
The Stockbridge course, which viii open
this evening for the season of 1867 with
performance by the Ideal Opera Company,

in the character of its entertainments and
the price at which they are offered. That

is patent fact, but it is not so well known
that there are still good seats for sale at
Stockbridge's either for the course, OF for
separate entertainments.

the course will open tonight is an opera in
which the Ideals gained great popularity all
over the country last season. AS Fanchette,

A CUTTER DAY.
The English Yacht Stranger Defeats
the ThetIs.

MARBLEHEAD, Mass, Oct. 5.-This
proved to be cutter day, and the Stranger
won. In the early morning strong north
east wind prevailed, and nearly every one
predicted an almost perfect racing day, but
all were doomed to disappointment. The
signal for the start was given at 11.2O
O'Clock, and both yachts crossed together at
IL % with all sails set.
The Stranger quickly passed the Thetis,
but her lead was only temporary for at
took the lead. At II '45 o'clock the Stranger
was doing fine work, and was gaining on the
Thetis. A moment later the English cutter
again passed the Thetis and was not again
overtaken during the race. The wild at
this time was east, and fast dying out. just
what the Stranger wanted. At 12.15 o'clock
the Stranger held a lead of about one-eighth
of mile, but the Thetis got puff of wind
that enabled her to reduce the gap fully one
half before reaching the first stakeboat off
Harding's Ledge.
The yachts turned the bell buoy as follows
Thetis. ........l2 40 40
The wind was now light from the south
east and to the outer buoy the Stranger
increased her advantage to mile and half
Both vessels had all sails set, except the
spinnaker, which could not be used to adj
vantage. The Thetis made but little head
way, the wind being barely sufficient to keep
her sails full.
At 3S2 o'clock the Stranger turned the
outer buoy, followed at 1892 o'clock by
the Thetis From here to the finish it was a
drifting match. The spectators had many of
them become tired of watching the race and
left for home. The Stranger crossed the
line at 4.50 o'clock, her actual time being
hours 28 minutes.
The Thetis did not finish, being fully two
miles behind her rival. After the Stranger
crossed the line she came into the harbor
at $50 o'clock, and later the Thetis arrived
in tow of the VIM. Sprague. The third and
final race of the series, and possibly of the
season, will take place tomorrow, wind and
weather permitting.
