Regatta Week Down the Bay.

Regatta week down the bay will be more
satisfactory one than for several years. When
the Corinthian Yacht Club and tho Marine and
Field Club used to hold regattas there was
racing every day. During the last few years,
however. there have only been two reKattas OF
any importance. These were the Atlantics and
the New iorks. Last year there was no racing
to speak Of. although the Atlantic Club held
several small reRattas on the clubhouse at Sea
Gate This year all the clubs that race down
event successful. The Atlantic Club will hold
its regatta on June 20. aud it is expected that
a large fleet OF yachts will cross the line. The
New York Yacht Club will mold its regatta on
June %. and on the Saturday following tho
Brooklyn Canoe Club will have races at Graves
end.
The feature of the New York Yacht Club re-
gatta will be the races for the cups ted by
ex-Commodore James Gordon Bennett in 1871.
which have not been sailed for for several years
There are two OF these cups. one for schooners
in racing trim. and the other for single IN asted
vessels. The winners OF these prizes can hold
them for thirty days, and are then liable for
challenge, a notice Of fifteen DAYS being mecca
sary. During the cruise the notice OF chal-
lenge is reduced to Ave days. II lie probable
that the Colonia will race for one OF these cups
II any yacht succeeds In holding the cup in two
consecutive races it is not liable TO challenge
until the commencement OF the next yachting
season.

irish Championship Won by Dohorty-LOoal
Tournaments.


The Irish championship lawn tennis tourna-
ment was held again on the noted Fitzwilliam
square turf at Dublin during the last week OF
May. and full reports OF the matches have
reached here. The meeting proved to be an :
other great triumph for II. F. Doherty. He CAP
tured the singles. doubles and mixed doubles.
His honors now include the English Irish and
international championships. the greatest
crown ever worn by any tennis player.
In the scratch singles at Dublin there
were eighteen players entered for the
title held by Mahony. including Count
Voss-SchonaG. the German champion. and
by far the strongest player on the Con-
tinent. In the first round he met F. L. Risely.
and was beaten after a terrific 1ve- set strug-
gle by 40. 40 Ga. Ga. 90. How strong
Risely was appeared in the next round. when
he beat H. l.. Doherty by Sc. Ga. "a. e.

over here few years ago. was beaten three
sets TO one by II. +. Doherty. Tho semi-fnala

Greene pulled out victory from an APP
parently hopeless match by lie. O-6. g.

to one in a brilliant match that showed the
English champion at his best Eaves getting
one close set against one close and two easy
ones. Ball-Greene was rather easily disposed
OF in the finals by Doherty. and then the latter
met Mahony In the challenge round. This
furnished another brilliant struggle. which
once moro ended in Doherty's favor By three
sets to one. The scores were 60. Ga, ST
