YACHTING IN NEW ENGLAND, PLANS AND PREPARATIONS OF THE MASSACHU- SETS SQUADRONS—A BRILLIANT SEASON AN- TICIPATED, Bosrox, May 27, 1876. The fond and gay anticipations of the jolly yachts- men along the New England coast threaten to be early and happily realized this season, ‘The past winter has been of such a moderate character that tho various craft have suffered but littie from the weather, and hence it is that but little time has been required to get the yachts of the several squadrons in trim for the pleasures of the summer now so close upon us, Considering the fact that yuchting is of but recent origin in the New England States it is ag surprising as it is gratifying to note the pro gress which it is making from year toyear. Within a period of less than ten years one or more clubs have sprung up in nearly every seaport city and town along the Eastern coast, and at no time has the yachting in- terest been more general and growing than itis in thit centennial year o1 1876, THR EASTERN YACUT CLUB, although not the oldest, is still the principal yachting organization in or around Boston, and its summer ro- gattas and cruisea aro always anticipated with eager pleasure. The membership of this club is but little short of 300, comprising many of the leading citizens of Boston and vicinity, and the squadron comprises about iifty superior boats, and additions are likely to be made (o the members and squadron the present season, Dur- ing the past week many of the cra{t have been brought out from their winter quarters, and if the fine weather characteristic of late May and early June favors 1876 the waters of Massachusetts Bay will soon be ruftlea by them. ‘The regular regattas of the club will take place in June and September, and the annual cruise will be sandwiched between these reunions, Among some of | the fastest and most noted craft comprised in the Eust- ern Club may bo mentioned the schooners Alarin, Ariel, Columbia, Dauntless, Idler and Meta, of New York, and the Juniata, Foam, Halcyon, Rebecca, Ro- mance and Fearless, of New England; the sloops Vin- dex, Vision and Genta, of New York. THE WOSTON CLUB, This club, although there have been many with- drawals of members and boats during the past few years, is now reviving im both respects, and an un- usually brilliant career is anticipated the present season. It has 269 members, eighty-six vessels, in- cluding threo steamers, and a permanent fund of $9,077. The number of withdrawals is less than the new additions, aud among the latter schooners, numed as follows, the figures repr length on the water line:-—-Betty, just built by G. H. Tripp, of this city, 33 feet; Tempest, ‘I. C. Brown, 53 fect; Silvie, Thomas Nye, 74 feet, and Vision, R. H. Stevi n, Sotect. The first 1s a beautijul’ model of nava | architecture, and built from entirely new and original pian. She will shortly take a ran to Pailadel- phia. The club will probably make its eruise as a squadron with the Eastern Club at about the time of the arrival of the New York and Brooklyn clubs in New England waters, and it is vot unlikely that it will also make a cruise to the Isle of Shoals, The following officers have just been chesen for the Arthur Cheney; Vice Commodore, F.

DUBLIN—THE GAMES REVIEWED—FLAT AND | HURDLE RACING—BXCELLENT SPORT DESPITE | SOME LOCAL OBSTRUCTION—THE PHSIQUE OF | TUE CONTESTANTS—NAMES, AGES AND | WEIGHTS, Dumux, May 16, 1876. The lacrosse party from Canada made their second appearance here yesterday. Both Canadians and Indians were “all the better” for their rest, and conse. quently the games were much more vigorously pluyed, and presented greater variety than on Saturday. A combination of little circumstances retarded the «ctual commencement. Among them were a couple of raccs, which shall be presently noticed, THE VIRST CAME of lacrosse began at forty-two minutes past three P. M., and Jasged till thirty-three minutes past four, occupying fiity-one minutes, being the longest game yet played in Ireland, SKCOND GAME, ‘There was av interval of half an hour betoro starting the second game. After about ten minutes the ball was lost in some thick grass, A few precious minutes were vainly spent in searching for it, and then Dr. Beers flung up another ball, ‘The game was won at Sh, 2lm., elghteon minutes after It was started, THE THIRD GAME was bogun at 5h, 26m. and ended at 5h, 46m, All three were won by the Canadians, | srvLe. \ Tho playing on both sides was in every respect simply superb, As on all other occasions the Iroquois scemed to rely more on individual offort, the Canadians on combination and associated work, The latter aro the more finished artists, the former more astute and also more rougls The ruuning of the Canadians 1s better. Tho Indians catch the ball perhaps bet- ter, In one matter the Canadian’ practice secms open to improvement. When the ball 1 thrown toward the goal they ought not to be so eager to catch it in order to fling it through the goal posta, [f they lot it alone im many ¢ it would roll in of itseif, Whereas their effort to catch, in. order to “make as- surance doubly sure,” provokes reprisals, and usually ends in tne bail being caught by an adversary and flung far away. PRIGHTENING THE NATIVES, One ludicrous incident occurred in the course of the second game. The bal! was flung beyond the railing which marked off the course. An Iroquois and a Can- adian sprang simultaneously over the Failing, closely followed by another Iroquois. Some children who were near screamed with terror at sight of the “wild In- dinns”’ rushing, as it seemed, upon their defenceless victims, and some ladies fairly ran away, FOOT RACK, Dr. Beers had been over-persuaded to allow Mr. Ogilvy the gratification of his vanity which he desired ou Suturday. He ran and won a time race of 100 yards against one of the Cavadian team, Tho Dublin F'ree- man’s Journal of this'morning says the race was with D. ©. Bowie, the champion runner of Canada As a fact it was not Mr. Bowie who ran “against Mr, Ogilby, and neither Mr, Bowie nor any other member of the teum is the champion runner of Canada, Vanity often perverts tacts. UURDLE RACK, After this race two of the Canadians and an Indian rana hurdle race 1n suowshvew, At the last hurdle the toe of the Indian’s shoe caught in the hurdle, and bo fell. COURTESIES, At the close of the day's proceedings the Canadian and Indian teams gathered around their captain, Dr. Beers, and gave three cheers tor the Dublin Lacrosse Club.’ ‘The members of Uns ciub, led by their captain, Mr. John Tieman, responded with three cheers ior the Canadian lacrosse party. ‘The Canadians express themselves warmly of the ro- ception they have had in Dublin from the people They are, however, far from giving unqualified praise to the ground where the games were played, which was very imperfectly prepared, So rudely, indeed, had the work of preparation been carried on thut the ball was otten caught in artificial furrows and ruts, and one of tho team strained a tendon yesterday, owing to his toot hing 1m a treacherous hole which had been loosely covered over With grass. The arraagements made by the officials of the Athletic Club, who own the grounds, were far from liberal, being rather of the hard-fisted type. However, lacrosse 1s likely to become popular here. If it docs, then when next the Canadiars como they will be free trom such petty vexationa. ‘TOURING, On Sunday the Canadian team made a short excursion to the neighborhood of Bray. ‘To-day they are sight-seeing in Dublin, and looking on at the great cricket match in the grounds of Trinit; College. To-morrow morning they leave the Suel bourne Hotel tor SCOTLAND. They play in Glasgow on Friday and Saturday, 19th and 20th inst, PHYSIQUES—INTERESTING STATISTICS, Through the kindness of the Captain | hi obtained the subjoined particalars of the height and weight of the two teams, They were never collected before, 60 that the information will first see hght in the columns of the HxRALD.

The announcement that the popular steamer Plym- outh Rock would yesterday mako the first trip of the season to Rockaway Bench was an earnest to persons who are in tho habit of spending Sunday at this fa- Vorite resort that the beach could be reached hereafter in comfort and with a degree of satety not heretofore guaranteed.

FINE ARTS. EXHIBITION OF AMERICAN PAINTINGS AT MI- NER's, ‘There are now on exhibition at Miner’s Art Galleries, No, 845 Broadway, the pictures contributed to the first rogular artists’ sale in this city. If this one is success- ful the sales willbe held at regular intervals during tho season, which lasts from September to June, after the ‘manner of those ot English artists, who have three sa.es during cach year. They propose conducting them om the same plan, any artist bemg a contrib. utor whose work is of a high order of excellence, and he must send his best productions, Euch artist will have the full benefit of what his picture sells for immediately after tho sales, and everything will be done to make them 80 attractive as to interest the best class of buyers. The want of patronage in their studios this winter has been the principal reason of this movement among the artists of combining their intorests to a certain extent for their mutual beyefit. The picture-buying public should give their beartiest indorsoment to the scheme as the simplest method of encouraging American art by aiding American artists, In the present exhibition of sixty paintings there is not a single poor ono, but such works as are generally bought directly from the easels of the artists before they leave their studios, and but two or three have ever been exhibited except at the clubs of which the artists are members. The sale begins with a painting by W. 2f Beard, one of the organizers and most ex- | tensive contributors, Tue contents of a whole volume could not express as weil as these five inches of canvas the story of degradation trom one step to another, until the poor, wretched haman being, now a villain and tramp, ts sent trom the door of an inn, where even the and chickens tind shelter trom the storm. ‘Kicked Out; No Money; No Friends” is the title. he Indian Lovers,’ by the same artist, is as tull of expression as the other—the saucy looking little maiden sitting on the bank of the stream, doubled up 1m the most unconventional of attitudes, as she listens to the wondertul stories of the brave besMe her, ‘Tom Thumb’s Fight With the Spider” is another piece of figure painting by him. “The Frat Man Pre- ferred” and “Ihe Wreckers” are also as expres- sive as his pictures of human beings, By Thomas Le Clear is a small figure of an old man reading.

COMMERCIAL FRAUDS—CUBAN RUM IMPORTED AND SOLD AS JAMAICA RUM—FOREIGN CUS TOMERS CHEATED—THE PLANTERS INDIG= NANT—FAILURE TO FLOAT THE WRECK OF THE SHANNON—REAL ESTATE ADVANCING IN VALUE, “Kinestoy, Jam., May 17, 1876. One of those “tricks of traje” which in all countries ovcasionaliy come to light and tend to shake confidence in the feeling called patriotism, has just been found out here, and has been thé cause of invective on the part of the planters against the merchants, and not without just cause, for the interest of the one seems to be sacriliced to the greed of the other, It has been discovered that certam merebants have been engaged in the nelurious practice of importing into the is and the inferior description of f SPIRIT MANUFACTURED IN CURA and have been shipping it agsin to Kurope and the United States as “Jamaica rum.” It ig almost supere fluous to repeat that which must be patent to all the world, that nv other country bas ever produced, or cam produce, rum of equaily vatuable flavor as that which ts made in this island, and, as will at ono» be perceived, the evil complained of 18 likely to become of injary Sufficient to destroy the intrinsic value and character of rum the manufacture of this island. For some time past 1t has puzzled the planters and many others to ac count for the extraordinarily torpid and sluggish state of the Jamaica rum market in England, Notwith- standing that advices wore received and continued to be announced successively of large sales of Jamaica ram yet little or no impression appeared to be made op the stock, Now the mystery has been solved. THK IMPORTATIONS into the United Kingdom of rum by ships from Ja maica, which conveyes Cuba rum as well, have been regarded and treated across the water under the suppo- sition that.all was the manufacture of this island and have accordingly been so reported in the trade circu. Jars, The brokers offer rum forsale by samples, and it might so happon that samples of rum from the first estates in Jamaica are placed before a dealer along with Cuban roms which arrived in the same ship, The Cur ban rum may be accepted in preference, owing to low price, ana the dealer, assuming that ram from Jamaica must be Jamaica rum, places it agcordingly in the mar- ket. The inieriority of quality will very soon be dis- covered, and serves to confirm a growing impression that our isiand rum is falling off in character, The Jae maica planters are naturally indignant, and a mecting of the Cornwall Agricultural Club was at once sum moned to consider what steps ought to be taken to SUPPRESS THE RVI. A series of resolutions was passed on the subject, one of which calls apon the government for a provee- tive law, and another pledging the planters as a body to have no dealings with merchants or others who wert known to lend themselves toa practice so unjust and 80 antagonistic to the interes} of the honest producert of one of the chief staples of this country. . HE WRECK OF THE SHANNON. A steamer bas just arrived from Pedro Bank, the scene of the wreck of the steamship Shannon. She re- ports that the Work of stopping leaks and repairing certain damage necessary to insure the ultimate float. ing of the ship is progressing very favorably, But of the same nature have been the reports received for months pas and people are beginning ta fear that the Royal Mail Company 1s spending a large sum of money on a bootless task, There aro misgiv- ings among nautical men that the ship will even be floated; and if ever she is the question for serious con. sideration is, Will it be worth the enormous armonnt of money it will cost before that end is attained? Deal- ing with the Shannon reminds me that Captain Dix, ‘who hus succeeded the late Captain Cooper as the com- pany’s superintendent at this port, has been makin; somo useful improvements in the management ol affairs, More regard is now paid to & THX REQUIREMENTS OF SHIPPERS, and business is therefore likely to increase, as the mail steamers would always be preferred to those of any otver line if the company’s officers were more tractable in their dealings with the public An ar- rangement has also been made whereby the steamet Belize, which used to lie up hero idle during the inter vuls when she was omployed conveying the monthly mail to Honduras, will be utilized in coasting work sa ‘as to secure for the company the carrying trade of the large quantity of fruit that is constantly brought into Kingston for shipment to the United States, ESTATES? IMPROVEMENTS, The government irrigation works, a subject of mis- giving to many fora long time us to whether they ‘would stand the torce of the river in flood timo, have ‘veen completed and put to some severe testa, The aqueducts are now being laid out and the water successfully conducted into the estates in the plains of St. Catherine, This parish, though possessing arable land, 18 subject to severe drougti and consequently its thousands of acres have nev: been turned to protitable account Now, however, that there is. water enough to be independent of the seasons and to defy the droughts, it is expected that great wealth will be developed and a considerable ine orcase effected in the exportable commodities of the parish. Already the VALUE OF PROPERTY in the district is improving. One of the estates bslons ing to Lord Howard de Walden has just been ccoment to the hammer, and has realized twice ag much as Wad oflered for it five years ago. STATE OF TRADE.
