many years he had noe ben actively engaged IN
Yachting he took keen interest In the sport whicn
he had formerly dOae much to foster and
encourage. Twice he SUCCESSFULLY defended ine
Americas cup with the schooner Magic against the
Cambria in 1870 and with the Columbia against
! the LiyOnia In 1871. lie was thrice elected rear
commodore of the New-York Yacht Club. Mr..
Osgood had been an invalid tor over a year ana his
death was entirely unexpected. he leaves no

Is one of the big quintctte OF single stickers she
was designed originally to defend the Americas
Cup against The GeDesta. but although she was
fast boat quite fast enough to beat the Brtlsher,
the Puritan turned out faster and carried on the
honors. 1t is generally well known that Mt smith
did not have as much OF his own
yay as he would lave liked in designing her
and has always maintained that he could greatly
improve upon her design. lie Will transform her
into schooner and with some alteration In her
hull. she may give BURGESS two-masted flyer, the
Sachem close tussle for supremacy Mr. Smltr
will sail her again probably. Commodore Canheld
will undoubtedly get another yacht but says that
he has not yet decided who will get the JOB OF de-
signing her. or what her dimensions Will he.
A. Cary Smith is designing a second-ciass sloop
for Edgar = AnchlnclOss, which IL IS expected Will
make things lively for the best OF the Burgess

interest,"
