YACHTING.
The following account of the aquatic cou-
test between the Volunteer, the Puritan
and other fast-going craft which took place
at Newport, r. l., recently will interest al
lovers of American yachting. The schoonl
ers Marguerite, Mayfiower, Sea Fox,
Gnone, Quickstep and Palmer were the
starters in the schooner class, and the Vol
unteer, Puritan, Katrina, Oracle, Gossoon
and Clara in the sloops. The course was
from Brenton's Reef light to Vineyard
Sound and Hen and Chickens and return,
leaving all on the port. The wind was
was two hours ebb when the yachts were
sent away. and there was just little jump
of a sea on. There was but very little in
terest manifested in the race until the outer
mark was reached. Then, says an ex-
change, it was foregone conclusion as to
rounded Vineyard Sound lightship, as both
the Clara and the GOssOOn were wide of the
limit time. The interest in the race be-
came centered in the Gossoon and the Clara
and they were closely watched. If the Cos
soon got an advantage by standing in Sea-
comet River, getting more wind and better
tide, this surely did not seem to be the case
between them after they passed the light,
when both boats were nearer together.
Here, as in the early part of the race, the
Gossoon was beating the Clara boat for
boat, and had her safe all the way out to
the first mark. The Merlin had the Sea Fox
beaten almost from the start, and it was
steady gain. The May1ower beat the black
schooner out to the mark. The Marguerite
make a poor hand of it, and was with
drawn from the race before reaching the
outer mark. The Quickstep early in the
race came to grief by carrying away the
jaws of her main gait, and she also with
drew. The Gnone made poor showing,
and did not exhibit the speed of last year.
She brought up the rear of all the starters.
After rounding the Vineyard Sound light
ship, the Volunteer stood for the Hen and
Chickens. The wind headed her bit, and
the flood tide was setting her to leeward.
and it was hard pinch to weather the Hen
and Chickens in one tack. The Puritan
was no better off than the Volunteer, aud,
if anything, she was headed off more, and
had to be pinched harder to fetch the ship.

The Gossoon beat the Clara to windward
lin. lis, performance never done before.
From the Hen and Chickens to Brenton's
Reef it was a run with spinnakers and light
kites. Tie Volunteer ran very fast, but
about eight miles from Hen and Chickens
the wind fell off and the Puritan astern
brought a good breeze and gained ON the
Volunteer. When the latter got the same
breeze she picked up and drew away again
from her old rival, running home in very
fast time, and making 10 minutes faster
time down the wind than the Puritan-a
feat she had never accomplished before.
Captain Half says that she never ran faster
since she was built. Under the same con-
ditons the Clara and Gossoon ran over 16
miles and each with everything on, still the
Clara only outran the GOssoon 2m lis. in
that distance, and the Oracle made just l
second better time than the Clara. The
Merlin gave the Sea Fox a bad beating and
opened out on her over 10 minutes in the
run home.
The result of the race, outside OF the
Volunteer, was quite surprise, as the Sea
Fox was thought by many sure winner
The Merlin is showing much better form
than last year. and she is going faster. 1t
looks as if the Sea Fox would have to take
second place. The following is the official
summary of the race:
