The Ya.k.. Doodle . Gr... Racer.

PHILADELPHIA. June 1.-THE steam launch
Yankee Doodle. which is expected to race with
the crack steam yachts Norwood and Vamoose
OF New York. was severely tested yesterday
and found not wanting in any particular. She
surprised everybody. including the Mcbride
brothers who own hcr. She raced with the
passenger steamers Brandywine and City Of
Chester. which are unnuestionably the fastest
boats plying tho Delaware. and bested them
without an effort.
:, The start was made from the mouth OF the
Schuy!kil She met and passed the Brandy
wine in less than three minutes. amid the
hearty cheers OF the crowd aboard tho big
steamer. Slowing up. she awaited the sc Guiding
City OF Chester. Taking place Just back OF
her stern. she signalcd that the fight was on.
The big boat splashed and rushed onward with
fast increasing speed. but with no result.
The little launch ran the steamers length
and cleared her bow in Just 80 seconds, q feat
which tho Now, Then. Wilmington,s fastest
yacht. was unable to account lish in less than
20 minutes, according to the claim Of the
owners Of the City OF Chester. 1t was this phc-
nomenal squirt that proved to the McBrides
that they have a winner.
