Volunteer in the Market.

BosToN, May 5.--The four leading yacht
clubs of the country have decided on their
annual events, and the dates have been Sc
lected The Atlantic Yacht Club leads off
with its annual regatta June -, over the
New York course. Next comes the big re-
gatta Of the New York Yacht Club, June q.
The Sewanhaka Yacht Clubs regatta takes
place June %, and the Eastern Yacht Clubs
June 2S, probably over a triangular course in
the bay In the first week of October there
will be an open regatta, under the auspices
of the New York Yacht Club, for $4,000 in
prizes. In addition to the above there will
be the races for the GoeleJ cups off Newport
in early August. There will be no trial races,
as the Americas cup will not be sailed for.
By the above it will be seen that five out of
six of the big races will be sailed outside Of
eastern waters; four of the events taking
place in New York waters The interest
this year in the races will not be as great as
it was last year.
The Volunteer For Sale.
Gen. Paine, the owner of the Volunteer.
has laid her up for the season, and in CONVEX
sation with him Yesterday me stated in an
swer TO the question if he would sell her.
provided proper parties came forward, that
he would, though the Volunteer would not be
disposed of hastily nor at sacrifice. He
had noihestation in saying that she was for
sale at proper figures. From this it appears
that Gen. Paine is going to take much
needed rest from yachting this season, at
least in racing. In case the Volunteer changes
hands, it is to be hoped that the party pur-
chasing her will sail her as she ought to be,
and that her own proud record, thus far never
eoualled by any yacht, will not be broken.
The Volunteer has never been beaten.
