\ "YACHTING. Annual Regatta of the New York Yacht Club. A SUNNY DAY AND A PLEASANT BREEZE. iain The Schooners Palmer, Wanderer and Comet, and the Sloops Vision and Mad- cap the Winners. NARROW ESCAPE OF THE ALARM. The First Steam Yacht Race Won by the Lurline. TEN THOUSAND SPECTATORS AFLOAT. The annual regatta of the New York Yacht Cub, the great aquatic event of the year, wa: lea yesterday over tne regular ciub course, For years gone by New Yorg and the suburbs have sent their thousands to witness this magnificent nau- Sieal spectacle, and yesterday, notwithstanding the ratner doubtiul appearance of tne weatner, the docks were crowded at an early nour with er excursionists waiting lor the Meamera that were to carry them down the Bay. The New York Yacht Olub on this occasion bas always two steamers chartered for the day, and at a quarter of nine yesterday morn- ing both were lying alongside the dock at the foot of Twenty-tnird street, North River. The William Cook was engage. to carry the members of the club and their lady triends, and beiore nine P.M, the large and commodious steamer was crowded with representatives of the first and old- est families of the city. Everybody was rather donbt/ul as to how the day would turn out as at that tme the Weather was thick and hazy, put gleams of sunshine came every now and then gleam- ing through the mis‘, giving some few brignt hopes to those whose .Wicipations of a clear sky and a lively oreeze had been undera cloud, The William Fletcher lay alongside the adjoining dock, and as soon us the Regatta Committee and mem- bers of the press nad jumped on board she steamed away for Staten Island in order io get the yachts in readiness lor the day’s regatta. On board the Fletcher everybody appeared to prognosticate favorably about the day, as the weather-wise pre- dicted that Uld Sol would make mincemeat of the Jog before it was an hour higher in the heavens. Od Stapleton the scene was one of aecided activ- ity, a8 already the racers were preparing for the coming contests, wulte sheeis were being stretcned from boom to gafy, balloon club topsails soared aloft, and snowy staysails lay about the decks, ready tor the time when with free sheet and flowing breeze they would dance before the wind. As eleven o’clock A. M. ap- proached the plot began to thicken and denseiy crowded steamers came puffing from the city. The Plymouth Rock, decked In ancy colored fags, was black with human beings, and soit notes from the Madrigal Boys were wafted across the water. The steamers Magenta, Neversink, Long Branch, Arrowsmith, Thomas Collier and Jesepnine and Union ferrybuat Winona, were also floating around Awaiting the starting signal. THE WLETCHER flashed around from yacht to yacht distributing the orders of the day and devoted some littie time to the arrangements for the steam yacht face, which was to form one of the features of the programme. For the past two years the owners of steam yachts have been anxious to test the ri Bpective speed of thelr craft and at last the New York Yacht Club consented to gratlly their Wishes, but so modified the resiric- tions of steam and fuel as to uvola any Starting catastrophe. The club was not anx- tous that any oi their members should steal tae laurels irom the grave ot she departed Jim Blud- Bo, or tha: tae Color should be increased by the sacrifice of too | Many on the satety valve.

THE START. At 11:24:30 the frst guo was fired irom on board the Fletcher, and the yachts commenced to cruise around, getting im trim for the start. The Tidal Wave attracted some attenticn, with her big seagoing bulwarks still up, giving her the ap- pearance Of a iruiterer rigged ior heavy weather. Mr. Hurst’s pew sloop yacht Active, with per cutter bow and red-capped crew, had a very Englisu look. ‘Tne Madcap drifted across the line while waiting for the start- ing signal, and had to be called back. At 11h. 84m, 202, the second gun was fired, and the feet com- menced to hurry across the line. The first to have her time taken was the Egeria, ioilowed closely ‘by the Kaiser Wijhelm and Genia, all three cross- ing on the port tack, Tae two former stayed im- | mediately after their time was taken and stood for the Long Island shore.

PEDESTRIANISM. | THE TEN-MILE WALK BETWEEN WILSON REID AND EDWARD MULLEN—THE FORMEL THE WINNER—PECULIAR WORK. of the weather, Edward Mullen and ‘James K, Hall’s Unknown,” | | who turned out to be Wilson Reid, met at Deer- | | foot Park yesterday afternoon to aecide their pe- | | destrian contest. The match was for $250 a side | and the distance ten miles, Reid receiving an | allowance ofa quarter of a mile in the distance, | The latter, it will be remembered, was beaten | badly in March last in this city by Daniel O'Leary, | who gave Rim 440 yards in twenty miles, but | the fivst ten were made by Reid in such good time | it was thought by some that Mullen, excellent | walker and long stayer ashe was known to be, was far from having a gift in the present job, The weather was churming, the | | track in fine condition and the walk grandly con- | teated, and coula be put down as one of the most | | } interesting seen in a long time, were it not tar- _mishea by being ‘thrown’? py Mullen in the last quarter ofa mile. It was one of those tricks that has made professional pedestrianism disgracetul, The men waited Jong, almost exhausting the | patience of the anxious crowd. Finaily, at hali- past five o’clock, they appeared and began discuss- | ing the question of a referee, owing to the non- | | attendance of the gentieman selected to serve | When the match was made, It is fortunate, per- | naps, for the walkers that be was not on hand. Mr. @G A, MsEwen, of the Caledonian Club, at last | coasented to | | serve, and at $2. Sim. the men were sent away, | Reid taking his quarter oi a mile at the start. | Both were dressed in fesh-colored tizhts, dark | blue sik trunks and red stockings, walking | Dareheaded. Im the pools Reid was the favorite two to one, Up to the sixth | mile Reid held open the gap allowed hii, | when, alter finishing’ this distance, Mullen commenced spurting, and showed in such jorm 4g | and style he was run uy to even figures in the | poois, Finishing the eighth miie there were but seventy or eighty yarcs between them, when, dashing by the stand, Mullen ‘went for’? his op- ponent and captured bim near the quarter pole, receiving a8 on encouragement loud and prolonged cheers. From this tme every one who knew Mulien’s§ abilities concluded the walk practically fluisned, | ; DUL one or two betting men still kept seid the layorite, and, therefore, there was something | Strange ‘about the matter; but the sequel proved they were right and “had a good thing.’ | Entering tne ninth mile, Muilen vould look around | and gauge the step of Reid, and was aple to | Open the gap besween them wuerever he desired. | His advanced position Mullen matutainea en- | tering the teuth mile, a8 he was leading Reid five | seconds at this point of the journey, snd | it mow looked as i nothing could beat him, It 18 worthy of remark that at this time Reid’s backer, in answer to an inquiry, expressed it as his opinion “that, with Mallen ahead, Reid never can wip;’’ nor could se if there had not been @ job in the business. Leay- | ing eee are ee onthe last Dalf wiie, Mullen droppe: 0 @ SIOW pace, and Reid passea nim amid cheers, On the homestretch, and witnin 100 yards of tue tch, Mullen appeared | Very “groggy,” and 8 ‘ayiug to and fro, acted as if ne were aoonut jaintiug, during which exniviion Reid kept pegging away jordear lile, aud finally landed a winner by twenty yards, Mullen leaned against the jence after crossing the finisb, but soun waiked tO the house with friends | athisside, An old sporting man gave i* as his opinion that “this is the most barefaced swindle | Lever s in which expression many of the well-me: ing gentlemen present beartily joinev.
