THE INTERNATIONAL YACHT RACE Ne Special Report of the Second Race Be- tween the Sappho and Cambria. - Preparations of the Vessels for Heavy Work. Sailing of the Sappho and “Standstill” Action of the Cambria. Reminiscences and General Remarks on the First Race. By the European mall of the 17th of May, at this port yesterday morning, we have the foilowing special correspondence from Cowes, England, re- porting the second yacnt race contest between the Sappho ana Cambria—the start, the progress and termination of tne contest. Our special writer sup- plies, pesides, an exhaus'ive and accurate review of the merits and demerits of the first race between the same Competing vexse's, The Second Race Between the Sappho und Cambria. Cowks, May 16, 1870, Despite all the hair-sptitting diplomacy—all the elaborate precautions—to say nothing of the long- winded “articles of agreement,” wsich were drawi up with the special object of avoiding anything in the shape of a hitch in the programme—the second match between the Cambria and Sappho, appointed for Saturday last, resulted in a gigantic fizzle, even more aiscreditable to the foresight of the officials than the unlucky “blunders of the previous Tues- day. What rendered it more disappointing was that in the early morning everything seemed to promise 80 favorably for a fatr anc stralghtiorward trial of the relative capabilities of the two yachts, The heavy gale from the west-southwest that had Prey led daring thé two preceding days had mod- erated into a hard wind from the same quarter, and wy the time the competitors had reached the Nab ethane ies Stee pie th nghibn- epee reer goes t te same as.on the oWoasion i ihe dimt match—théle was pect of a spell of genuine yachtman’s weather. Both vessels prepared for a “nose-ender,” housing their topmasts and seiting lower canvas only, with a reef down in their mainsails, and when ready the umpire’s steamer hailed them in turn, announcing that the course was to be “round Cherbourg break- water and back, passiug in by the western end of the breakwater.” ‘The Cambria hailed the steamer in reply, but her answer could not be made out, albeit something was evidently wrong, as the next moment she hoisted an ensign in her rigging to signal a “protest.” Several atteinpts were made to speak with her, but in vain, owing tothe hadings being drowned by the wind, and for a ime no little uncertainty prevalled as to the cause of the Cambria’s protest. Ultimately, however, she displayed a black board on which was cha!ked, in large Roman characters, “Not a dead beat.” It snould be explained that at the time the umpires decided to make Cherbourg breakwater tne turning yotnt the wind, a3 Ihave said, wis blowtug fresh trom west-southwest; but almost immediately a'ter- wards it veered west by south half south, and tien west balf south. A lengthy correspondence, partly by means of hail- ing and partly by signals, hereupon ensued between the Canbria and the umpires, the latter explaining that at the time they gave the order for the start the wind was west-southwest; but Mr. Ashbury would not listen to these representations, and siinply sig- nalled back, “A dead beat, or no race.”” ‘This was repeated several Umes, and it being evi- dently the Cambria’s uitimatum the umpires flually replied with, ‘We did the best we could when the ‘wind was west-southwest. No alteration.” The signal to start was immediately afterwards given, but the Sappho did not go for several minutes, those on board of her being evidently non- plassed by the conduct of the Cambria, which was dying to with lier foresheet to windward. Ultimately the American, finding nothing was to be done, hauled ber sheets aft and started oi on the port tack, as the course mndicated, whereupon the Cambria, alter making an apparent start and run- ning a short distance, suddenly put about and ran back for Cowes Roads, and s0 ended the secoud “aqnatch.” LOG OF THE YACHT SAPPHO.

Against this, however, Mr. Ashbury protests, on the pretence that the umpires hau no power, in con- travention of the articles, to order the match to be sailed to Cherbourg and back, inasmuch as it was expressly stipulated In the agreement that the race should be started dead to windward, and that the yachts should round a steamer at the turning point. ‘The whole question will of course be submitted to ihe referee, but at the time the mail left no decision had been arrived at. THE TRIANGULAR MATCH. ‘The triangular match is tobe sailed to-morrow «Tuesday), May 17). | The First Race Between the Sappio and the Cambria=A Special Retrospect. CowEs, May 14, 1870. The fitst of the series of matches between the Sappho and Cambria was sailed on Tuesday, May 10, and resulted, after a somewhat uneventful contest, in a victory for the American schooner. It is scarcely, perhaps, to be expected that the is- sue of this first trial will effect such a complete revu- lution in the English theories of yacht building as ‘was produced by the memorable achievement of the America in 1851 ; but whatever excuses may be ad- vanced—and they will doubtless be duly forthcom- ing—in palliation of the Cambria’s defext, the result of Tuesday’s encounter must, I imagine, effectually buse all unprejudiced yachtmen in the Old Coun- try of their long cherished notion as to the necessary and intrinsic superiority, “on a wind,” of their favorite deep and narrow models over the broad and shallow, or, as they are pleased to term them, ‘“dish- shaped” craft, such as are in vogue on our side of the Atlantic, We would not be supposed to accept Tuesday's verdict a8 absolutely gonclusive; on the contrary, it is quite possible that it may be set aside on a new trial, But as far as it goes it is decisively in our favor, and considering the prominent part we have taken in the vexed controversy as to the relative merits of the English and American systems of yacht building the result, apart from a!l patriotic feeling, is, to us, necessarily highly gratifying. Moreover, the Pet of the Sappho is enhanced in uo small degree when we consider that while the Cam- bria is emphatically a “raciug machine’—having been constructed expressly for the purpose of match sailing, by one of the most successful English builders, and has been repeatedly claimed by her owner to be a (if not the) representative British ee Sappho was originally built merely for cruising, and certainly has no pre- tensions to rank as a “racer? among the clippers of the New York yacht squadron, And yet, for all this, the victory of Mr. Douglas’ schooner would have been scarcely less decisive, even if she had been giving her opponent the usual allowance of time for tonnage, according to the Royal Thames ‘Yacht Club measurement, which, as we have so often pointed out, is. intrinsically unfalr when applied to ‘Vachts built on the American model, THR NAUTICAL, NEGOTIABIONS. It will bo unnecessary here to recapitulate in de- tail the somewhat elaborate negotiations which uiti- mately led to the ratification of the match, or, more properly Speaking, trio of matches under notice, It ‘will be suficient to. tine that after a vast expendi- Sure of unprofitabie diplomacy the “high contraefing parties” finally decided to place the matter unre- servedly into the hands of two mrtual friends—Mr, Lee, the Commence of the New Thames weak re the ry of races was’ ultimately arranged—the Arst and second to be sailed six'y miles to Windward of the starting point and back to the point of de- parture, and the third over an equilateral-trlangalar course, sixty mites in length. The first match was originally appointed for the beginning of May, but owlng to an accident to the Sappho, which nee. tated her being taken into dock Jor repairs, it Was: posiponerd, by mutual consent, un’ Tuesday, May % The steamcr Vectis, a tine vessel, belon, ing to the Soutnampton aud Cowes Steam Packe ie pany, Was hired by the owners of the to yachts to convey the umpires, who were Mr, Heury’ Bridson, the owner of the Mariel and Derwent, for Mr, Dou: Jas, and Air, C, Marett, of the New Thanes Yacht Ciub, for Mr. Ashbury, and these gentlemen polnted Mr, J. D. Lee to officiate as referee, Cards of invitation to view the mateh from the Vectis were forwarded by Mr, Asitbury to the represeniatives of ail the leading London journals, and it is currently reported that ln each case they were accompanied by asignificant memorandum, calling attention to the disparity between the two yachts in point of tonnage according to the Royal Thames Yacht Club measucement. For the sake of comparison we sub- join the tonnage of two schooners ax measured by the Royal Thames Yacht Club and New York Yacht Ciub scale;— New York ¥.C. Royal Thames ¥Y. ¢, me Measurement, Yons, Cambria, 183 Sanpho. 804 It will be seen from the above that while, accord: ing to the New York Yacht Cub scale, the diference between the Sappho and Cambria 1s twenty-six tons only, the Euglish system of measurement makes it 206 tons, THE BYENTFUL DAY, Tnesday moiming broke raw and cloudy, the wina being southeast, With every prospect of resi ening into @ nice breeze, The Sappho was the tirst to ieave her moorings, in_tow of the steamer Ruby, about half-past tour A. M,, and half an hour later the Vectls took the Cambrta in Charge aud steamed out of Cowes Roads to the Nab Lightsip, which had been selected by the umpires us the place af ren- deavous, ‘The Nab was reached about twent: five minutes past seven A. M., the Cau bria arriving at the scene of action a -few minutes before her opponent. The wind stilt holding true southeast the umpires decided to start the yachts on @ southeast course, and, on being cast off by the steamers, both losc no time in geiting u thelr canvas, The Sappho set whole mainsail an foresail, main aud fore jibheaded topsails, jib, stay- gail and Jib topsail, while the Cambria carried whoe lower canvas, Gr ta ch ghe set her small square- head topsails and jib ait gtaysall, ‘The umpires hav.

Jt was for a arte only, however, diectly the Sappho felt the full pressure of the breeze she began to forereach the English schooner in remarkable style, walking away uprighi as a sieepie, with every stitch of canvas drawing, her mainsail standing like @ board, albeit some oO: the English cognescentt pronounced her topsatls to be somewhat *baggy.”” It was evident, however, that she was holding a better wind than the Cumbria, though tie latter Was sailed a bit closer, @ little too close, indeed, la the opinion of most competent judges, They held on the same {tack until filty-ive min- ules past eight, when the Cambria went about, the American following suit some three minutes after, and though a trifle slow in stays she was lead- ing by a good cable’s length on the Cambria’s lee bow by the time she. was fairly over on the other tack, Both madea Jong leg to the northeast, but the wind breaking olf easterly they presently headed northeast by east, thesappho continuing to forereach her opponent and weathering oa her per- ceptibly. "At nse minutes past ten A.M. both went about on the port tack, heading south-southeast, the Ma, ond being even thus early at least a third of a mile to windward, to the undisguised astonishment of the partisans of Mr. Ashbury’s schooner, who had all along maintained that the stranger, whuiever she might be able to do with the Cambria off the wind, would not stand the ghost of a chance with her ina beat dead. : Both vessels again went about, almost simulta- neously, ut sixteen minutes past eleven A. M., head. ing northeast by east haif east, the American high on the Cambria’s Weather quarier, with @ lead of fully two and @ half miles. They were again about at noon, steeiing southeast by cast, one-quarter east, aud held on the same tack until haif-past tweive, Wen, the wind drawing a little fuwiher south- wird, the Cambria weat about on the starboard tack, the Sappho following suit four minutes later, the yachts having made by this time a little over twelve miles to windward agamst @ lee tide. Both now headed east-nortieast, and, favored by & flood weather tide and a@ freshening breeze, the yachts made better progress, and were bowling along in ood style; but the more the breeze tresh- ened the better the Sappho seemed to like it, and by ‘one P. M, she was fully four niles ahead, on the Cam- bria’s weather bow. During the next hour, however, the wind contunued to draw to the southward, and the Cambria, appa- rently finding it a pointireer, began to close rapidly with the leading vessel, born yachts in the meanwhile making a long stretch along the Sussex coast, and looking up near due east. This state of things continued until they were abreast of Bright- on, about half-past three P. M., by which time the Cambria had so materially improved her position on the Sappho as to be within two niles of her, standing dead. in” her wake, both heading east by south. At forty- three’ minutes past three P. M, the yachts went about, having held on the same track for nearly three hours and a quarter, and as they stood oi the shore the wind backed to the east- ward and fresheacddnto @ spanking breeze. The Sappho, from her position, was the Arst to get the beneit of the start, and easing off sheets spun along gloriously, leaving her opponent hand over hand, dropping her, indeed, so rapidly that by the time they opened Beachy Head the yactlits were fully five mules apart. No further change of importance occurred be- tween this and six . M., at Which time the Americ: schooner was looking up south by east half east straight for the turning point, some six or seven miles distant; but both the yachts had lost sight of the Veetis for upwards of two hours, and by the time the Sappho reached the bear- ings for which she had been instructed to make nothing was to be seen of the missing steamer, Those on board the Cambria were equally uon- plussed, but it subsequently transpired that both were a little out of their proper course, the English schoouer having bore away somewiiat to the north- ward, while her opponent had overshot her mark and was considerably to the southward, or leeward, of the turning point, though she had actually sailed over the spot where the steamer ought to have been. On inquiry it turned out that the Vectis had held on her proper course 1 mid-channel, dead to wind- ward, for upwards of thiity miles, when she hove to for some time, the ofictals being under the im- pression that they had overrun the yachts, of which they had lost sight for upwards of an hour. For sume time opinions were divided as to the proper course that ought to be advupted under tl circumstances, but ultimately the umpires de- cided to depart from their original instruc. tions and bear east-northeast m search of the competitors, it being tolerably clear that unless they sighted them before dusk there would be very tittle chance of finding them in mid-chunnel after sun- down. All things considered, this was, perhaps, the best course to pursue; but the result proved that suflicient allowance had not been made tor the shitt of wind, which bad materially assisted the progress of the yachts, paving freed upon them on every board after one o’clock P.M. It subsequentiy, Indeea, turned out that at the time the steamer was hove to, in expectation of the yachts coming up with her, they ee several miles ahead, right under the coast THE FINALE. The upshot of the matter was that on the Vecns resuming her course and steaming lead to wind the yachts were descried about five o'clock P. M. o! eachly Head, reaching in the direction of the main- land, but so far ahead as to preclude all hope of the "steamer overhauling them before they made the turning potut. An hour later the American schooner was made out, heading south by east, and was soon lost to sight from the steamer; but the Cambria was i ae at intervais up to ten minutes ast seven FP. M., when she suddenly hauled down er racing flag, and, bearing up, ran back tor Cowes Roads under easy sail, in company with the Dauntless. At the time she bore up she was on the Vectis’ starboard quarter, scarcely two miles distant, and some surprise was expressed by those on board that she did not round the steamer pro Jorma; but it ap- pears that Mr. Ashbury, in & most sportsmaniike spirit, refused to atlow this, alleging that the Sappho had won fairly aud honestly, aud would have been by this time many miles on her way home if the steamer fad been in its proper place, The Sappho was at this time some six miles to the southward, and aiter knocking about tor upwards of an hour without fluding any trace of the Vectis she also bore up and ran back for Cowes, where she an- chored at hall-past five A. M. on Wednesday, about an hour after the Cambria. THE CONSORT FLEET. ‘The match was accompanied yy a little fleet of yachts, including the Dauutiess, Mr. J. G.

SHARON SPRINGS, May 24, 1870, For over twenty-five years Sharon has been among the leading watering places of the Union, Any one who has ever made a visit here can readily under- stand why this should beso, and even wonder that ‘the Springs have not excited a wider and more unt versal patronage, Unlike some of the more ambl- vious resorts, Sharon has not received wide pub+ Neity, and its guests have been those who care little for fashion and display, but much for sound healty and quiet lives. But tt must not be understood that there is no fashion here—that 1s, no style—a pro- Perty somewhat removeu from the popular concep- tion of manufactured bows, ertsficial walks and architectural grins. An easy, unconstrained so- ciality marks the personal intercourse of the guests; and yet there is the tone plainly visible, the refinement and quality which are not mar- ketable along with Parisian hats and French heels, Efforts to make society “loud” are not en- couraged; and as there are no attractions to draw the “fast” element of the country the exhibition of any pretence or vain assertion 1s but shortilved, Visitors always make a watering place for better or for worse, and a character once estab'ished 18 hard to change; and that class of people who year after year have sought these springs have fixed Its post- tion and SOCIAL STATUS, which nothing has impaired, The gieat feature of Sharon Springs is that it is not a temporary resort, but a retreat where people come to spend the entire summer, expecting to live on to the end of the seagon, pursuing the even tenor of their several ‘There is nothing in th t ways. teeta ng {0 e surrounding country fo dray thei?

The season begins on the 10th of June and closes about the 15th of Septemoer, The height of the summer's carnival 1s in the months of July and August. Then about 7,000 guests are quartered at the diferent hotels and boarding houses, and 300 1s afair average of the daily arrivals, At thts time there is no wild, rapturous excitement, such as may be found at Long Branch or Saratoga, but a mode- rata, temperate activity, instilling A SMILING ENTHUSIASM, as distinguished from a horse-laugh gayety. Visi- tors seek Sharon Springs sadcipain pleasure, without desiring to become wearied and worn by an immoderate How of spirits ; aud usualiy the in- flux consisis of entire socta! circies from New York and other large ctttes, and these lumps of the body politic move together, without seeking, aud usually without finding, fresh acquisitions, For 1870 Sharon 8] eld are being greatly im- roved, and the introduction of the tron horse from Jobbieskill, on the Susquehanna Railroad, is the vital fanovation. ~The NEW RAILROAD, terminating on the hill, a jew hundred yards from the principal hoteis, is to embody ail the elegant fea- tures Of a first class line of travel, and will, as the raliroad has always b2en, the fertilizer of large popu- lations, contribute to build up Sbaron and place it among the first Nve of American resorts. It wili be ready for travel on June 1. In looking over the new enterprises now in progress at the other retreats it is not found that any are more important than this new railroad counection. Citizens, capitalists and utrons here are very warm in thelr expressions of belief that the new railroad will make a great dif- ference inthe number of visitors. They believe it will bring capital here; that the number of guests will be rapidly augmented; that in superseding the old stage route by @ quicker expedient thousands who before looked upon the Springs as slow and old-. fa-hioned, and among the relics of wa ancleat regime, will settle here for the summer, with a liberal pehon e. There is no doubt that this ultima- um will be realized, Heretofore it has taken the travelier four hours from the Central road over an undulating drive, and often whea the roads are almost impassable from mud and ruts; and this pro- vision of a railroad, making the Springs just twenty minutes from the Albany and Susquchanna Rall- road, geis rid of a very serious diMeulty, which in the past has had a great infuence in keep:ng Sharon dowa When its natural tendency was upward. It is grailylng to Know that the company does not pro- pose to build au indifferent kind of a track or run an indtiferent sort of cars, Knowtng that the passen- gers will beof a fine class of people, Who will net abuse elegalice, it 1s the intention of the company to richly euibellish the woodwork, softly cushion the uphoistertug aud render the interiors throughout neat, clean and luxuriant, The Susquehanna Rail- road has @ perpetual lease of the new road, and, from the character of its managers, the bellef universal bere that no pains will be spared to make travelling @ very agreeable pleasure, Three trains each way, biorning and evening, will run down to Cobbieskill from this place, PASSENGERS LEAVING NEW YORK by the People’s line of steamers for the Springs will arrive here from Albany without change of cars by nine o’clock the next morning, thus making the journey by mixe:t rail and water Wavel. New hotels lave been erected, and those already estavlisned have beeu altered for larger accommodations to suit the Lmmense number of people expecied by the new road. Property has, therefore, risen in value; and, a@-lde from Sharon asa bogie place, Sharon will patie: Into a thriving city in a few years. Freights, formeriy brought by stage, can now be transported at reduced rates; aud tue New York papers, so ne- cessary to New Yorkers, can be had for dinner. Every one visting a resort for the summer wishes to know the kind oj PREVAILING WEATHER. Lying in a valley, there are always cool breezes at these § Pa ey aud the mercury vibrates between seventy-five and ninety-three degrees atthe warmest. ‘The average temperature 18 about elgnty degrees in the shade, and shade fs abundant. ‘The main street, upon which all the principal hotels are situated, is thickly planted with muples of a heavy growth, which almost make a complete arbor of the road- Trees here are characteristic, If anything g8 cestatic pleasure it is the clear rural SCENERY, embracing a roiling, undulating, giowing lauds:ape, toned down to’a pastoral splendor by its rich cultts vation, and diversified and heightened in its sleeping beauty by varying tints and colors. Sharon Springs lie just at-the jaws of a deep ravine, wuich, as it opens northward, obtains a width of several hundred yards, aud then breaks into the broad, open country beyond. At the deepest cus are the numerous springs of ferruginous, sulphur and magnesia waters, and on the street running through the heart of the valley are ail the hotels, except the great Pa- vilion, situated upon a Knoll to the northward of the village. e pretty little cottages of the rpetual residents line both steeps of the two iligides, and are protected from the piercing rays of the sun by ample shade, Just below the springs isa deep chasm where the sulphur waters are pre- Cipitated over a ledge, thus giving a fall, making a water power which ts utilized to turn the water heel of a mill at the foot of the mountain, About tals vicipity many CURIOSITIES of the surface formation are interesting to the naturalist. Moss justas it grew in nature is by the action of the sulphur petrified into a white, porous, spongy looking rock, with myriad fissures and singular cavities; and each offshoot ts perfect in the solidified mass. With leaves all stages of petre- faction can be studied und examined, from the one tnrned into hard stone, showing the delicate ana- tomy of nature, to the leaf just yielding to the intense action of the chemicals. Geology as exemplitied at these Springs has its powerful agent, chemistry, upon the surface, Immense masses of petrified grass, weeds and varying vegetation resembling coral formations line the hillsides, Slate stratifi- cations a8 displayed by perpendicular cuts in the rock, the corrosive action of the waters and the dif- ferent mineral propercies of surface deposits can all be gathered into the connoisseyr’s laboratory, To enjoy A RARE VIEW is to stand upon the loug balcony of the Pavillon Hotel, the largest house here, and from this eieva- tion, 900 feet above the valley of the Mohawk aud 1,200 feet above tidewater at the Hudson river, sur- vey the 8,000 square miles of rolling luxuriant ver- re reposing at your feet. Saratoga, Lake George, Schuyler, towns, cities and villages are photographec upon the yehes meadows and shaded by the vast forests. Fences, roads, footpaths and grazing herds are seen in the foreground, and as the eye shoots off over the far-reaching landscape the vision is only bounded by the blue masses of distant mountains and the white margins of fieecy clouds, Over all prevails a clear, transparent atmosphere From the minutest shrub to the most towering ele- vation there is not one spot that the arust would erase from the scene, It is a complete realization of the qrand, tempered by the softly beautiful, There you have the liquidity of the streams, the picturesque grouping of contrasting scenery, the biue of the arched heavens, the moving sea of foliage and the solid and unshakable rocks. Sharon Springs isa place where people come to enjoy THY Watrns, to take advantage of their medicinal propertics and to drink them as aluxury, There is a great variety in the different jets, una in each class of waters a pecuuarity of powers, They are of wiree kinds: ‘The sulphur springs.
