WIND AND WAVE. The Liveliest Yacht Race Ever Run on Lake Michigan, In Which the “Frolic” Beat the “Ina” in a Thirty- Mile Contest. The Phil Sheridan Prize Taken by the ¢ Geneva” at Geneva Lake. A Comprehensive Review of the Outlook at Phila- delphia, And a Sketch of the Clubs to Com- pete in the International Regatta. ‘White-Ash Sailors and Their Efforts to Popularize Rowing. The Farragut and Chicago Boat Clubs. THE YACHT RACE. THE FROLIC BEATS THE INA. The Canadian yacht had come from Toronto to test the sailing qualities of the Frolic, and found her match. There were accidents, one to each yacht, which made matters even. There were errors from strictly artistic sailing points of view, oncon the part of each, so meither gained any advantage therefrom. The race was lost and won on its merits. The match was for $1,000 2 side, between two of the best yachts, sailed by twoof the best crews that cver fought the wind on Lake Mich- igan. The vesscls had raced before and the Ina had won. This fact put the crew of the Frolic on their mettle. To a man who had never secn them race, or knew nothing of their records, it would be difficult to make a choice between them. The Frolic is long and low, carrying an immense amount of cut-up canvas. The Ina is stiff and trim, setting an enormous mainsail, and trusting to but little else. On the wind, the Ina sails closer than the Frolic, and the lat- ter works up easier than the former. Taken all in all, it is an even match, much dependent up- on skill. Ten o’clock was the time fixed for TIE START. The Frolic came down to the starting point (Twelfth street) first, closely followed by the Ina. Along the front there was over 1,000 peo- ple watching for the start. The Yacht Club was out in force with its boats, and a squadron was in readiness to follow therace. At8:45 the tug Tom Brown went out and fixed the stake- boat, scven miles and a half north of Twelfth streot, at a point just above the Marine Hos- pital, about two miles and a half off shore. At 10:15 the competing yachts came side by side, and at the signal stretched away on the port tack, the Ina having a trifie advantage, running to windward, and starting at 10:26, with the Frolic to leeward and starting at 10:27. As they got away on a long leg to eastward, the fleet of yachts and steamers followed. The Michigan (United States Navy), the Ben Drake (excursion tug), the Sheboygan (Goodrich Lioe), the Bret Harte (pleasure tug), the Tom Brown (judges’ boat), the Tarrant (tug) and half a dozen others werein close pursuit. The Michigan was crowded with invited guests, who joined in complimenting the courteons officers for their attention during the trip. The Ben Drake sporteé a band, and afforded the best opportunity for a careful scrutiny of the race. The George Dunbar, the Sheboygan, and the Bret Harte, and the others kept close behind the competitors, following them throughout. Five miles out from the starting point THE SCENE WAS EXCITING. ‘The wind was from northward and westward, nearly northwest by north. At this point the sailing qualities of the boats were open to criticism. The Tna was quarter of.a mile to windward, flying along under mainsail and forestaysail. As she went about on the star- board tack she let goher flying gaff topsail. The Frolic had set a jib topsail, jib, forestay- safl, mainsail, and gaff topsail at the start, and beld this press during the stretch to wind- ward. It looked like a lonz and short legrace for the first stretch, but the wind hauled around to the northward and eastward, blowing half fresh and sometimes in puffs. The Ina crept slowly ahead, sailing closer on the wind than her opponent, and on each tack mak- ing a foot or two by her readiness in stays. The Frolic was well handled, and what she lost in stays she eathered in taking advantage of each swell of wind. Two miles from the stake- boat it looked as if the Ina had the race in her hands. With every puff she hugged up closer, while the Frolic was compelled to fall off to take the full benefit. Not only was the Ina forging ahead, but she was creeping towind- ward as well, and, though the distance between the two boats was from an cight to a quarter of a mile when they hauled the starboard tacks on board for the third stretch in shore, it was plain as they stood away on the port tack that the Ina was outsailing her competitor and rap- idly increasing the distance. Then came THE FIRST ACCIDENT. The Ina went about, and while in stays the throat halyard block broke, and down came her mainsail by the run. But her crew were quick, and caught it, and she neld her course, then to northward, with the peak of hermain sheet. top- sail, and jib. The Frolic overhauled her rapid- 1y, working to windward, and finally lapping the Ina’s weather quarter. Two men werc on the cap of the Ina working like beavers to repair the Hamage. The Ben Drake run alongside, and to encourage the Kanucks the Ben’s band struck up *GOD SAVE THE QUEEN.” There was no excitemeant on the Ina. The only heads insight were those of the men on the cap and that of the sailing-master. The rest of the crew lay fiat on their faces under the belly- ing sheet. On the Frolic everything was as quiet as death. On" the steamers the most in- tense excitement prevailed. The Michigan stood way off to eastward. The rest, except the Drake, which ran alongside the dis- abled boat, hung off to southward, their passengers eagerly watching the struggle. The Frolic, working to windward, came on hand-over-hand, pitching head first into the heary sea, and shaking the water from hernose as she came up. Luffing up, she closed rapidly, and slung abead, until the two boats stood foot and foot, when the sheet of the Ina went back into its place, amid the yells and cheers of athousand people who had watched her ef- forts. The yachts were then bow and bow, the Frolic about 200 feet to windward, and the sails of the Ina shaking. Slowly the Frolic ran aheads, As the Ina dropped astern, she luffed up, and, sailing close, followed the Frolic. THE STARE-BOAT WAS A MILE AWAT. Everything looked prosperous for the Chicago sacht, but the sailing-master of the Ina knew & trick to beat his mishap. Hugging close, he worked slowly to windward, until he had se- cured the Frolic's old track, and then, standing for the stake-boat, crowded the Frolic to lee- ward. That gave him the right of way. Keep- ing away enough to force the Frolic past the stake, he ran abreastof it, and, going about, rounded the stake and stood away to southward an cighth of a mile ahead of the Chicago yacht. As the game wasrecognized, a shoutof applause went up from the spectators THE PLUCKT CANADIAX had overcome the effect of his accident, and had regained hislost eround. The lna turned the first stake at 12:26, and the Frolic at 12:27:20. Then came a stretch with a fair wind, 7 miles and a half to the starting point. The Inaset a huge balloon-jib and a water-sail. The Frolic began to shake out her spare canvas. Then came accident No. 2. In setting the square sall on the Frolic the boom broke, and the sail blew overboard, to be picked up by the Tom Brown. But she got up her raffy and set her water-sail, and settled down for the run. The loss of the square sail was a material one, but the Frolic managed to maintain her place an eighth of & mile astern and alittle east of the Ina. It was a dead run before- the wind,—the most uninteresting part of a yacht-race,—yet 8o close had it been, and such thorough skill had been shown, that the spectators were thoroughly ex- cited. A man would scarcely have bet the ashes of his cigarette on the race, for after the second turn there were 15 undecided miles to safl. The steamers followed in a lump, sometimes crowd- ing almost too close on the stern of the boats, and taking part of their wind. The starting-stake boat was reached and rounded by the Ina at 1:48, and by the Frolic at 1:49:15, and then THE EXCITEMENT WAS EVEN DOUBLED. A short tack to eastward after rounding, and another to westward, and the Inalaid hercourse for the upper stake-boat again. The Frolic showed her first error. Hauling on her star- board tack, she stood fnto the pocket, taking in her extra canvas, and running under her three jibe, main, and topsail. The Ina got her canvas down more readily, and stood away under her main topsail and jib. In ruuning in- side the breakwater, the Frolic was compelleld to take ‘her chances of obstructions in the mouth of the river, and, though there happily happened to be none, she was forced to go off on the port tack, and then stand in to get her course. This brought her astern the Ina again, and had the Canadian boat accepted the advan- tage offered, SIE WOULD HAVE WON THE RACE. The Frolic came sbout and stood straight for the stake-boat. The Ina made her first mistake. Keeping away, she stood fn shore, running a long way to leeward of her proper course. This put the Frolic to windward, and though astern of her competitor, she Wwas in the best position. Whether the Captain of the Ina mistook the position of the stake-boat in his inexperience on the lake, or whether be trusted too much to the stiff qualities of his boat, will probably never be known. But had he held his course as he start- ed. he would have pocketed the $1,000. The two boats came up to the flag neck and neck, but the Frolic was to windward and round- ed first, at 3:06.45. The Ina bore down, but was compelled to make a short tack, rounding at 8:00.52. THEN CAME THE HOME-STRETCH. It had been the most exciting yacht-race ever known on the lake. In s contest of twenty-two miles and & half the yachts had not been sepa~ rated an cighth of a mile. . Just after the Frolic went about, she set her raffly and water-sail, and the Ina set hers and slung out her huge Lalloon-jib. The positions on this stretch and the last were reversed. The Frolic led and the Ina followed. The breeze was steady from the northeast and the course clear. During the run neither gained. The Frolic rounded the home stake at 4:00.25, the Ina at 4;02.45, THE FROLIC WINNING, with allowance of time at start, the gamest race ever run on Lake Michigan, by 3 minutes and 43 seconds. Bands clanged, whistles blew, cannon fired, and people shouted, and the yachts were towed to their anchorage. The race will be finished to-morrow, when'the yachts will be run over the same course. As to the question of superiority, it is difficult tq say anything. Capt. John Prindiville claims that, inastiff wind and heavy sea, the Frolic can capture the Ina. Capt. Dayis, of the Ins, dis- putes this. Inthe flawy blow of yesterday, it was plain that the gusts were manifest on the Frolic first, but the Ina hasa way of working to windward in a gust and stiffening up under a blow that may make trouble for Capt. Prindi- ville if theyshould et together in a fresh wind. The enormous mainsheetof the Ina takesa good deal of zephyr to fill, but, once full, it pokes the bottom along in an amazingly lively fash- ion. As to the s¢a, it is unquestionable that the Ina is fully as good if not a better boat than the Frolic, and, in order that the mooted ques- tion may be settled, it behooves all good people to pray to-day that a stiff wind and a heavy roll be the characteristics of to-morrow. THE INA is owned by Col. 8haw, American Consul at To- ronto, and_otlers, and came 1,200 miles to sail the race. She was under the command of Wal- ter Marks, while Capt. Davis had charge of the canvas. She is slo:)f-flgged, 35 feet lorfi 2; 14 feet beam, and is 23 2-10 burthen, Royal Cana- dian Yacht Club measurement. Her crew con- sists of ten men. The Frolic, also a sloop, is 3714 fect long on the water-line and 11 feet ‘beam. She was sailed by Capt. John Prindiville and a crew of eleven men. The Judges were: Capt. A. R. Atkins for the Frolic, an Cagt. William_Hartley for the Ina, and Capt. Joe Nicholson officiated as referee. IN TOWN. The gratification around town was intense over the victory of the Frolic. Animated dis- cussions were held on Clark street as to the sailing qualitics of the craft and their respective sailors. . Compliments were heaped upon all sides upon two boys from Detroit who helped sail the Ina and upon the masterly management of Capt. Prindiville of the Frolic. Atone point on South Clark, midway between Adams and Mourve strcets, a prominent sea- doz and_an ex-Alderman of the old Ninth met and exchanged compliments. The argument Jasted perhaps two hours. The result was a heavy wager cast afloat by the ex-Alderman that the Frolicwill do better with a heavy sea and strong wind than the Ina. Al throuei]l;the town the news of the Frolic’s victory was hailed withdelight. A largeamount of money was lost and won on the result, and more put up on to-morrow’s race. Along the river, among the boatmen, the prospect was the absorbing topic, and congratulations were mingled with expressions of profound respect for the game Canadians. THE UNITED STATES STEAMER MICHIGAN. It was the intention of Commander C. H. Cushman, U. 8. N., in command of the Michi- gan, to sail Friday, but a committee of citizens waited upon him to attend the race. Com- mander Cushman accepted, and courteously in- vited the Committee to place the stcamer at the command of their friends. Quite a number availed themselves of the officer’s bospitality, and the steamer presented the prettiest sizht on the lake. It followed the yachts to the first turn around the morthern stake-boat and returned, and, after a2 grateful collation, the passengers went ashore. There were on board the Michigan daring the cruise, among others, Commander C. H. Cush- “the Frolic, and 3. J. Medill man, Lieut.-Com. A. H. Wright, Licat. J. C. Hunker, Lieut. S. M.

GONTEST FOR THE SHERIDAN PRIZN. Special Dispaich so The Tridune. GENEvVA LAKE, Wis., Aug. 26.—The annual regatta of the Geneva Lake Yacht Club took place to-day, and was witnessed by the largest number of visitors who have come here this season to attend a race. More than ordinary interest was attached to the contest, aince all the yachts had becn prepared especially for it. During the past weck they were hauled up oa the beach, their bottoms scraped, and greased, the riggine made taut, and the Nettie and Mischief put on a mew sct of saila. The latter is a heavy-weather boat, and can sail like a clipper whea there is a gale. She has been peculiarly unfor- tunate this season, however, coming home last in every race. Having been thoroughly over- hauled, great things were expected of her to- day, but, though she did well at the outset, the wind died away, and she was left in the lurch. THE PRIZE AT STAKE was the one inaugurated by Gen. Philip Sheri- dan three years ago,—a beautiful miniature yacht of solid silver—hull, salls, rigging, centre- board,—all complete and in excellent propor- tion. It cost about $300. The Nettle, owned by Julian 8. Rumsey, won t in 1874, and again in 1875, and tried for it agsin to-day. The entries were limited to sloop-rigged, round-bottomed boats, owned im Geners,— “ sharpees,” etc., being barred; aud the condi- tlons as to bringing back the same ballast and crew taken out, and timc allowances, such as govern in races of a similar character. The yachts entered were the Miachicf, by Col. N. K. Fairbank; length, 25 feet; sailed by Capt. Coul- son. Geneva, by Gen. A. C. Ducat, 24 feet 6 inches; allowance, 45 seconds; sailed by Capt. Dunlap. Fleetwing, by Gen. Strong, 31 feet 9 inches; allowance, 4 min. 52 sec.; sailed by Capt. Woods. Nettie, by Hon. Julian 8. Rum- sey, 21 feet 6 inches; allowance, 5 min. 15 8ec.; salled by Mr. Rumsey. Dauntless, by Capt. D. ‘I. Whiting, 18 feet 9 inches; allowance, 8 min. 22 gec. ; sailed by Capt. Whiting. From the imdications Friday night,a stiff breeze was expected this morning, and accord- ingly all the boats, particularly the Mischicf, were ballasted for a blow. The anticipations in this respect were, however, only partially real- ized. The wind blew strong enough at the start, but lulled toward noon, and during the run the yachts encountered baffling breezes at several points which impeded their progressand length- ened their time. THE JUDGES’ BOAT. The Gertle, steam yacht, belonging to Col. George L. Dunlap, was, 2s usoal, the judges’ boat, the gentlemen who filled the positions be- ing Admiral Volney Turner, Commodore James Odell, and Col. Farrar. Among the guests on board were Licut.-Gen. Sheridan, who had come from Chicago to present the prize to the win- ner; Col. Charles L. Wilson, of the Journal; Capt. William Smith, and H. M. Wilmarth. The steamer Arrow, belonging to Mr. Georze Sturges, bad on board the lady guests, and the Cisco, owned by Col. N. K. Fairbank, a partyof his friends, ladies and gentlemen, while the Lady of the Lake, an excursion steamer, car- ried the visitors around the course, and afforded them an cxcellent opportunity to see all that occurred on the water. THE SIGNAL POR STARTING was given at 11 o’clock, and, amid the waving of handkerchiefs by those on shore and afloat, the yachts crossed the line outward bound in the following order: As will be noticed, the start was a very close one,—the closest of the season,—and the yachts sailed away rapidly on the starboard tack, befors a ten-knot breeze for the northwest. They were soon all in a bunch, bowling along m’etlfl{‘ and P the only exclamation which escaped the lips of those on the judges’ boat was ‘ beautiful.” The Dauntless, however, soon began to drop to_the rear, and the Nettle to increase ber speed, as did 'the Mischief, the latter passing the Fleet- wing near the narrows, the Gencva keeping third place, and the Nettie taking fourth. After leaving Sand Point the Mischief, Fleetwing, and Geneva were all together, and esmpcd a south- west, baffliug puil from Williams' Bay, which had a peculiar effcct on the Nettie and Daunt- less, they MAKING NO FROGRESS WHATEVER for a minute or two, and L‘nnnc?unnlly falling far behind. Ten minutes later Mischief led the Fleetwing about 100 yards, and the latter the Geneva about 200 yards, while the Nettic was half a mile ahead of the Dauntless. The threc yachts in advance, being close-hauled, went well 1o leeward in making for the upper stake. The Geneva, sailing closer to the wind, overhauled and passed the Fleetwing and closed on_the Mischief, which still kept In the van. The Net- tie adopted the same tastics, and crept up slowly but surely on the Fieetwing, and when within 2 quarter of a mile of tue stake was abreast of her. The MMischief and Geneva had a brush during this quarter of a mile, and the latter gained constantly, and by running in between the former and the stake-boat, and compelling the Mischief to kecp away to avoid a collision, turned it first—about 2 seconds in advance. The Flectwing followed 80 close that she got to windward of the Mischief and robbed her of the wind, and took second place. The Nettic was about six seconds behind. The boats start- ed for the buoy in Buttom’s Bay with a leading wind, and the Geneva walked, or, rather, ran, away from the others, which were all in a bunch. The Nettle, however, was to the windward. and she very soon took sccond place, the Fleetwing third, and the Mischief falling to the rear. The Dauntless was more than a mile astern and wctlufly out of the race. It was not her day. e Geneva weathered the buoy in Buttom Bay about ten minutes inadvance of the Nettle, which was followed by the Fleetwing and Mis- chief side by side. After passing this stake, THE YACHTS SCATTERED LIEE SHOT, tacking being necessary in order to get out of cet, and_ weather Rumsey’s Point at tho mouth of the bay. The Nettie lostin doing this, and dropped to the rear, the Fleetwing taking second place and the Mischief third, the Geneva still being first. After getting to windward of the Point, they made the lower buoy in one short and one long leg, by sailing close to the wind, which all of these yachts do wonderfully well. The beauty of the course on the lake is that it s triangular, and, no matter which way the wind is blowing, all the szilin ualities of a yacht are sure to be exhibit e Geneva rounded the lower stake ten min- utes in advance, the Fleetwing second, the Mis- chief third, and'the Nettle fourth. When the Dauntless reached this point she dropped out. The wind on the second up run was not so strong as on_the first, being lesa steady and more puffy. The positions 18 above given were not changed, but the distance be- tween the yachts grew greater between the buoy - and the carrows. Passing these, the Nettie took third place, and subsequently second. COMING HOME the wind was a little fresher, and very good ood time was made, but the yachts were so far hind one_another that nothing of interest characterized this portion of the race. ‘They rounded the home buoy at the tims mentioned below: P A A 12 55 27 35 30 10 38 45 The Geneva’s time—~the course 16 miles straight, but lengthened 5 miles by stretches— 'was 3h. 5Sm. 25s.,—not 80 good time as she has made, but very fair for such weather. About 300 people were on the beach to sec the conclusion of the race, and, when the Gen- cva came in, she was greeted with whistles by the steamers and cheers by those on shore. ‘The judges were landed at th&&(cr. and, with the gqat ns and crews of the different yachts, escortee GEN. SHERIDAN to the Whiting Houss, where the prize was formally given to Gen. Ducat,.the widner, in the greseucc of several hundred pwrle, many of them being ladies. In presenting the yacht, Gen. Sheridan said: GrxzmaL: I have had the pleasure of witnessing the race to-day, and have learned {rom the judges,
