ALr.

The ttrat time | had tie pleasure of seving the public-spirived owner cf the Dauntiess— viz, ist of August—he wien pave me a chaileage for @ race from Cowes to New York or to tha Azores and back on the 7th of August. I unreservedly ac- ce) ted for the race from Cowes to New York, to sail on the istof September, no question as to .tonnage and no restrictions 1n any way or shape. Lextended tue Une to the {th or sth of September, but the owner of the Dannttess was of opinion ie could not be ready before the 1atu, Your nauucal readers can form their own concius.ons as to whether there was ume to reduce the masts of the Dauntless elght feet and set up the rigging again betWeen the date of ac- cepiance and date of departure, and 1 declined saliing so late as the 15th, wnen there was no need fort, Sacua ceay would have driven us ito the midst of the equinoctial gales, which under ordinary efreumstances would have boon entirely or parually avoided by leaving on tue ist of September. As regards “Merchant Skipper’s’ sugges- tion that the Camorna shoud go out to New York next year, I may just remark it is posaipic ghis may be 80, inasmuch asx 1 bave quite recently chatienzod the Dauntless tor five races, to come off in March, first round the Isle of Wigot; second, round Uhervourg breakwater and back; third, Cowes to New York; fourth and fifth, io New York waters. If circumstances should pi vent Mr. Bennett's acceptiug my proposals f coniem- plate giving up the early part of the next London seugou and crossing with the Cambria to meet the best American vessels in their own waters, and 10 accordance with the rules aad reguisitons of the New York Yacht Club.
