The regatta Of the seawanhakaCorin'hiM ia'n'
Club showed that the schooner sea FOX uousH sii0
was defeated by the Crayng, may yet rank hlst III
the schoonercet at the end of the season. BECAUSE
being a new boat she is certain TO improve somc-
what. Her poor performance at the regatta Vi '"0
New-York Yacht Club was due TO the )amnihs Vi nVi

The Eastern Yacht Club regatta, sailed on Ihurs-
day off Maiblehead, practically void of interest
The entries were few ard the results were foIegohe
conclusion. Everybody knew that the volunteer
could beat the Puritan and everybody expected tha
the schooner Gitana would beat the Adenne, and SO
or. The only sharp racing was between the Two
new Burgess 40-foot boats, Baboon and Nara, 'he
latter winning by a little over a minute. Much re-
greet was expressed because some OF the New 0lh
cracks didn't turn up. Well. when The seawanna ANA
Corlnthian race sailed the Sachem ana Mar
gucrite took part in 1t, although IN me BAY.
Wherefore the Seawanhaka Corinthians feel rather IN
different concerning the regret felt by tho Eastern
Yacht Club.
