The Peerless Wins the First, the Daphne the Second, and the Josephine tho Third Class Prizes, The annual Pennant Race, which closes the aquatic season of the Atlantic Yacht Club, took place yesterday, and notwithstanding the limited number of competitors proved to be one of the most exciting contests of the year. The course extended from the anchorage at Hunt's Dock through the Narrows, to and around buoy No. 835 at Southwest Spit, turning it from north, and west and south; thence to and around a stake- boat in Gedney’s Channel, then passing to the westward of the beacon on Romer Shoal to two boats moored a short distance trom the piace of starting, the whole distance thus traversed being about thirty-two miles, The wind was all that yachtsmen could wish for, a stiff elgni-knot breeze blowing from the east-southeast, Although twenty- five entries were made for the race, not more than SIX Stoops came ND to tke starting point.

This was, however, uot so; for, possibly being bet- ter managed than her opponents, she got away on the starboard tack, and soon took the lead of her class. Owl's Head was passed in the following manner:—Josephiine first, with Vixen, Nimbus and Orton on her i quarter, Peerless and Daphne away behind. The wind at this time headed the Josephine, which caused her to lay of, thus losing ground, Before reaching Fort Hamilton the Daphne passed the Peerless to windward, the Nimbus falling behind. The Paphue at this point hoisted her gaiftopsaul, which, however, she found she could do better without; she therefore lowered it passing Fort Hamilton, A short distance past the fort the Orion passed the Vixen to wind- ward, the Daphne steadily drawing to the front, the ephine heading her class, with the Peerless next mbus last.

The time ap- pointed for starting was ten o'clock, from the foot of Twenty-third street, East River, at which time the steamer Geneva, belonging to the Engineers’ Department, was in waiting.
