DEVEAT OF THE MUTUALS BY THE LOUISVILLE ‘ NINE. Tho Mutual and Louisville nines played the third game of thoir regular championship series on the Union Grounds yesterday afternoon, and, greatly to the surprise of every one present, the visiting nine won the gimo by a score of 8 to 1. The Mutuals have not played xo badly this season, clther at the bat or in the field. With the exception of Joe Start every man in the nine acquitted himseif discreditably. Heretolore the nine has experienced no difficulty in butting Devlin, but yesterday they seemed unable to do anything with him, On the otber hand, the Louisville on played superbly io the Meld and batted Matthews with the utmost freedom. Snyder was particularly | prilhant behind the bat, and Fulmer did excellent work at short stop, With the bat Devlin led the score, ‘ THX SCORER, LOUISVILLE. *. RAB.PO.AE. Players.

YACHTING Preparations of the Clubs for this Season Perfected. THE COMING REGATTAS. List of the Prizes and Entries for Each Contest. COURSKS AND PROSPiTS. cae RULES, The prospects of the season are decidedly encourag- ing, and, Judging from the exteusive preparations in yachting cireles for some time past, thero is reasou to anticipate some lively and interesting competition. Yachting has its sterling devotees just as other pas- times have theirs, and those who occasionally hint that the sport is not as thoroughly popular as it ought to be on this side of the Atlantic hardly appreciate the inter- est and enthusiasm which our yachtemen invariably manifest in ail matters appertaining to our pleasure navy. There are many events announced to take place that call for more than @ passing notice, and among them might be mentioned the proposed visit of the new craft frem Canada, which ere long will contest ior tho America’s cup. Everything has so far been} satistactorily arranged for the struggle, and that the best boat may win is the univerial desire of all, As previously announced, there will be three races, which are set down for the 10th, 12th and 14th of July, the American com:petitor to be named on the first of that month. ‘he course for the first event will be that of the New York Yacht Ciub, the second will be outside the Hook, twenty miles to windward and back, and the third, if a third race be found necessary, will be selected later on, At all events it is to be hoped that our welcome viritor will have ample opportunities to try the capacity of his vessel, especially should she Join in the annual cruise of the New York Yacht Club, Those who participated im the delightful event that marked tho advent of the Cambria, the splendid races at Newport, the congregation in that harbor of ticet sailera trom all quarters, the run to Martha’s Vineyard, the subsequent reception by the Eastern Yacht Clab, the display at Marble Head and the grand regatta at Swampscott will not readily forget the impetus the sport received. It was memorable for all the very best features that could make a yachtsman proud. Perhaps during the early part of the fall we may look forward to a similar troas, for tt is said that the fleet of the New York Club will be augmented by the advent of many kindred asso- ciations, that the cruiae will be prolonged, that new scenes will mark its progress, ‘and that in fine the groat annual event will be superior in all respects to its humerous predecessors. Howbcit, it is to be hoped that the event will be worthy of the year. THK CRNTENNIAL REGATTAS. ‘The programme for the three days of the Centennial rogattas will include, on June 21, a regatta over the N.Y.¥.C, course, open to all yachts of fifteen tons and upward. On tho following day there will bea regatta in the Bay, open to all yachts of fifteen tons and under, over a triangular course, not exceeding twenty five miles. Then on June 26 there will bea grand regatta to Cape May and return, open to all yachts of fifteen tons and upward. t may be men- toned that in the first and second regattas yachts will ‘ve divided into classes, with time allowanco based upon the mean length and breadth, In the third there will be two classes for schooners and one for sloops, with- out allowance oftime. The medal and diploma of the International Exhibition of 1876 will be awarded by the United States tennial Commission to the winner in ench class in the above regattas. Additional prizes in siiver will be awarded by the commitice. All entries mast be made on or betore June 15, and communi- cations may be directed ty the seeretary of the comintt- tee, Mr. 5.

Nearly all the yessvls whose pames are so tamiharly connected with our local organizations have gone into commission, and from appearances: there Wil be a larger representati each regatta than on any previous occasiwn. First on tho list comes the Gleventh annual regatta of the Atlantic Yaeht Club, which has been set down for Tuesday next, and which will doubtless awaken the old time enthusiasm and afford the same amount of pleasure which the displays of this club always doa The entries are large, and include all the well known racers of the association, Yachts sailing in this regatta are classified as first class, including ail schooners; second class, ull cabin sloops forty feet in length and over at the water line; third class, all cabin sloops under forty feet at the water line, The prizes are to be of silver, one tor each class.

The course will be: for schooners and first class sloops, from {he anchorage down through the Narrows, to and around the stakeboat at South- west Spit or buoy No. 84,, thence te and around tho lightsbip, rounding the Intter by eastward and sonth- ward; thence home, going to the southward and west- ward of the bescon on Romer Shoal, The course for second class sivops wilt to and = around — the buoy on Gedney Channel, rounding the same for the southward; theace home, passing to the westward of the beacon on Romer Shoal.

M. THK NSW YORK YACHT CLUB. Should the weather be at all propitiogs the annual Tegatta of the New York Yacht Club, which takes place on Thursday next, will afford our very best yachts an opportunity to show the result of the preparations their owners bave been making during the spring. All the contestants will doubtless be m the very best pos sible trim, and it is to be hoped that the weatherly qualities of some ol the famous yachts will be thor- oughiy tested. The entries include the schooners Alarm, Tidal Wave, Ariel, Clio, Meta and Peerless, and in all probability there will be added the Idler, Mohawk, Dreadnought, Madeleine, Rambler, Palmer, Wanderer, Comet, Magic, Atalanta, E-teile, Eva and’ the sloops Addie Voorbies, Vindex, Petrei,’ Sadie, Active, Breeze, Anna, Madeap,’ Windward, Alert, Fanny and others, The entries close on Tuesday.

YACHTING NOTES.

W. J. Hurst, of the cutter yacht Active, cruised down the bay yesterday afternoon with part the crew which Is to sail with him in the Corinthian race of the Seawanhaka Club on Saturday nexf. Tho slight alterations that have been made tothe Active have greatly increased her sailing qualities, and judg- tng trom the manner in which she wag handled yester- day, she will prove a dangerous antagonist to the other yachts which will have to compete with her in the same class. In next week's race Mr. Hurst will take command, with Mr. E, E, Chase as mate, ‘The schooner Palmer, Mr. R. Stuyvesant, made a short cruise down the lower bay yesterday afternoon, and is getting everything shipshape for the coming New York Yacht Club regatta on Thursday next. Sho slowed fine speed in the light breeze that prevailed, and. appears to have lost none ot her old well known quaii- ties. From present indications the probabilities aro that she will be the selected champion of the New York Yacht Club to sail against the Canadian yacht Countess of Dufferin for the Queen’s Cup. The sloop yacht Alert, Mr, H. Vail, N.Y.Y.C., also went out tor a trip down the bay and is now anchored off the club house. Among the other yachts cruising around yesterday afternoon were the schooners Prospero, Tempest and Meta ana the sloops Vision and Petrel. + The newsloop yacht Regina, built by Force, of Key- port, for Mr. Stuart, is now anchored off the New York Yacht Ciub house at Staten Island. In appearance she somewhat resembles the Active, having the gamo straight stem. Her stern, however, is heavy looking and might be altered with advantage, The Vindex, Mr. Robert Cenier, is anchored off the club house, and looks in first rate trim, ‘The schooner yacht Mohawk, Mr. W. J. Garter, N.Y.Y.C., is also at anchor off the club house, having returned from her cruise around Long Island, on which she siarted last Friday week. ‘The Regatta Committee of the Perth Amboy Yacht Club have declared the Cynthia the winner of the \ate regatta for first class sloops, in place of the Chemaan, which was erroneously awarded the victory on time al- Towance.
