The Schooner Yacht Widacea. Lying at anchor off Greenpoint, within beilire dis- tance of the shipyards around which linger the heno~ of producing the grandest achievements of American naval architecture, is the saucy looking, fast sailing and sym- metrical schooper yacht Widgeon, owned by Mr. Lioyd Phoenix, Rear-Commodore of the New York Yacht Club. As she sits on the water, her bright spars and newly- painted rigging sparkling like gems inthe bright sun- light, her flowing lines and harmony of proportions, the combined elements of beauty and power that she pos- segses, elicit praises of an unqualified nature.

The Ir- vingtons then took their places, and batted away until they had scored four runs. In the qext inning the Eurekas went to the bat with a feeting to do their best, but, with all their efforts, at the end of the fifth inning the Irvingtons had a total of fifteen runs to their eleven, This was the turn’ng point, and although the Eurekas fought magnificently to pull up their toore, the Irvingtons were too far in advance to give mucl hopes of their ultimately winning i:. The game was im many respects a first class one. Thomas, of the Eu- rekas, was still the nimble, excellent player he has always shown himself, doing wonders by his ac- tivity in keeping the Irvingtons’ score down, while Stockman, short stop, played with all his old vigor, stopping bails and throwing them with great swiftness, Pike played splendidly, taxing every ball within any reasonable distance. In the sixth innings the Eurekas changed their catcher, Osborne taking the position, in the seventh Lee was withdrawn as their Burroughs being substituted.
