The nineteenth annual regatta of the Brooklyn Yacht Club was sailed yesterday under very favorable avspices, The morning was one of bright promis Detokeming then no dgarth of wind for the race, or ratber races, and sun! ght with cooling ars for the ex- tursionists. The programme, too, was one of rich promise, for among the names of the yachts appeared many noted for their fast sailing, and some were con- éidered so evenly matched that few persons could prophesy to which would fall the victory. The coptest between the sioops atiracted the great- est attention, there bemg many new ones among the entries. This interest was enhanced by the Teport that a special bot of $500 a side on the Susie S. and W. T. Lee was also to be determined by the result, The conditions of the regatta provided for the division of the yachts into five classes, the first embraciug only | Grst class schooners, In this class were only two | tries, the Madcleine and Tidal Wave, neither of which started, in consequence of having been disabled in the regaits of Thursday. As if for the special delight of the spectators, the elements conjured up another treat in atidition to those on the card. This was aremarkable mirage that played strange pranks with all kinds of craft in the offing, deceiving the vision of approaching ob- servers, A peculiar Glmy haze seemed to obliterate |} the horizon aud mingle sea and sky. Two steamboats, the William Cook for the guests and | the Fletcher tor the judges and the press, loft Martin's Dock promptly at half-past nine yesterday morning, decked with the colors of the contesting yachts, and crowded with expectant guests to witness the race. To Bay Ridge they steamed, where the waiting yachts were lying about in all directions making ready for the onset, Some rade at anchor with their sails dupping in the breeze, while others flittered to and fro lik: fleet Bteeds impatient for the order to go. It had been arranged that the course would be as follows:— For schooners and first class sloops, from the stake- oat anchored off Bay Ridge to buoy 835, at Southwest Spit, turning on port hand, thence to the Sandy Hook lightsh:p, rounding sume on the-starbourd hand, thenco to buoy 844, turning it on the starboard Land, thence to the stakeboat off the new club bouse dock, at Graves- end ay, passing it on port side. For second ci loops, from stakeboat off Bay Ridge to buoy 81g Southwest Spit, loaving same on port hand, thence to the outer bay buoy im Gedney'’s Channel, rounding it on -tarboard hand, thence to buoy 84s, paxsing same on starbourd bund, thence to stakevoat off the new tiub house, passing 1% on the port side, Third cliss sloops (open boats), from Bey Ridge to ttakeboat anchored at Saudy Hook Bay, two miles routh of buoy No, 84, rounding same on the port hand, thence to home stakeboat at new clud ouse, passing it on the port side.

It was the sixth event of hike character sailed under the auspices of the organization; but it ts sitfe to say that none of its pre- decessors were marked with greater interest or re- fnited moge pleasantly, These reanions bave done much to promote practical reamanship among yachts. men in this viemity, and the enterprise which caused their inauguration Is meeting with merited reward. Though nothing that occurred was caleulated to test severely tho sailing qualities of the racing yachts and the skill ofthe amateur “sailor men,” the run from Sandy Hook tothe Laghtenip and return was exceed. ingly mteresting and exciting. The club steamer Josephine lett the foot of Thirty- third sireet, East River, at half-past nine o’clock, with out delay steamed to Tompkineville landing, Staten Isiand, whence, after receiving more ladies and gentle- | men, she ran down to the starting point for the yachts, off Fort Wadsworth. Here the several boats, with their eager crews auxious and ready to be sent away, were found. The sky was clear and the sun very warm, but neither the spectators on board the Josephine nor the workers on the racing boats seemed to mind the heat. The spectators enjoyed the pretty picture before them, while the amatour satlors were revolving in their minds how best to get away on the journey and outmanceurre opponents. A more than usually pictur- | | | 1 | | esque panorama was presented by the bay, dotted, as it was, with handsome pleasure craft and steamboats laden with pleasure parties. As tho day wus also selected for the annual regatta of the Brooklyn Yacht Club racing yacuts were “thick as blackberries,” The entries for the Corinthian races were as follows:— FIRST CLASS SLOOPS, Mean Leng, Nanv.

The Petrel had run down trom the New York club house, und crossing tbe line before the stg- nals were given, was not considered in the race by tho Regatta Committee, which, by the way, consisted of M.

After ten @enutes grace another gun was fired. It was intended at tirst that the second gun should warn all yachts to be across the line and on their way withio ten minutes more. There was ashght deviation from the printed regulation, how- ever, as it was feared the first gun was not heard by all the captains. Three guns were, therelore, given, the second ahd third beng at lib, 3lm, 10s, and, Uh. 4m, 10s., re. spectively. The smart Windward led the way followed mediately by the fast sailing Coming, all on board evidently meaning business. The Eugenie came next, then the handsome Addie Voorhis, much improved since just season (if improvemont she wanted, as she always bad a knack of pushing in her nose with the first arrivals); then the Madcap and Active and the others.

The “pony” yachts had a gala day at the Prospect Park lake yesterday aiternoon, two important regattas taking piace. The more important of the two was that } for a handsome etlver napkin ring, offered by Mr. George D. Dayton. Competition for this prize was open to all comers, and most all the !arge model yachts of any repute that waz! on tbe lake were entered for the | contest. The day was all that could be desired, except- ing that the breeze whieh provailed was a little too given. Their names, owners and size being as tollowe:— | Name, Owner. | Kaith, . +A.

The Unknown held her tack the greatest doing. When about tall way over the course sbe had an exciting little brush with La Bayadere This con- lnffed up’ into the wind, and unaccountubly stayed there for nearly a tuinute, which lost ber all chance of winning the heat, The Cnknown continued to main- tain the advantage she had gained, and CAME IN FIRST at. 4s. , actual time, followed by the Jeannot in 0m. 30s., actual time, As the latter was obliged to allow the former eighteen seconds the Unknown was declared the win- ner of the heat, The next tour boats in order were the Adela, Edith, B, V. and La Bayadero, The second heat was very interesting, and some ex- cellent sailing qualities were shown by the contestants, At the start 1t seemed anyvody’s race, the La Bayadere, Unkuowy, Jeannot, Tudic, B. V. and Mile all stand- a long tack lor the east bank and sailing quite evenly. Eyerybody was excited aud tbe eailing masters were rowing themselves into a fever, for they Saw that a slight miscaicuiauion would prove disastrous, La Bayadere, Unknown and RB, V, soon began to leave the rest of tho fleet behind, how: ever, and then the Jeannot followed their lead. Tne | 1, V. was the first boat to go around, and inso doing | ran afou! of La Bayadere, which seemed tobe in bad luck. La Bayede made to wear ship vy | the collision and to bead up away to leeward of her competitors when she did fil), Toe Unknown and Jeannot now headed bravely for the homo stake. The former brought up near the w bank consider- ably in advance of her only rival, and in two more tacks crossed the line the winuer for the second time, She was again followed by the Jeannot, which made the distance again in fifteen seconds jess time than the Unknown, but again was compeiled to yield the victory owing to tho time allowance. The time taken on the second heat was a6 tollows:—Unknown, 10m 30s, ; Jeannot, 10m. lis. ; La Bayadere, 14m. 4. ; Tadie, Lim. 308. ; Edith, 11m. 30a, ; Adelia, 10m, 45s.; Mille, 10m. 30s; B. V., 15m, 308, Thus the Unknown, by winning two straight heats, became the winner of the prize. THR PROSPECT PARK CLUB. The other event of the day was tho regatta of the Prospect Park Club, Two neat prizes were offered—a silver butter knife and sugar spoon of tho same mate- rial, Five boats were entered, viz. :—The Robert Cen- ter, Little Gat, Young Greek, Kate and Lizzie, each 63 inches in length. Their course was about the same as that of the other crait, The first prize was won by tho Young Greek and the second by the Robert Center, The range at Creedmoor was comiparatively deserted duriug the earher part of yesterday, for the Orst time in many weeks. A little knot of long range marksmen gathered at the 800 yards firing point about eleven o'clock, and shot over that and the succeeding ranges before the arrival of the one o’clock train, which bore the short range marksinen who were interested in the contest for the Turf, Field and Farm vadge at 200 yards distance, The party shooting at long range included General Dakis, Mr. Rathbone and Colonel Schaffer of the toam, Who were reducing their practice to account by kceptng a minute record, and by shoot- ing carefully were enabled to establish a record for guidance in future competitions, At quarter past three o'clock Colone! Wingate announced that the entry book was open, and shorily altecward thirty men took their positions atthe 200 yards tiring point. Most of the men were armed with military rifles, State inodel, and Mr. Pyle carrie: off the troptiy with’ one of this class, whieh, from Jong disuse, had grown rusty, andthe trigger of which pulled nearly fifteen pounds.

The excitement was intense, and when the two contestants stepped into the sawdust ring they were greeted with wild cheering. Rooke seemed over- matched in size, but he took his position with a good deal ot grace and awaited the onset of Taylor. Joe Coburn and Jem Maco weao in the centre of the ring with a number of other sporting celebritics. Taylor did tho heaviest in fighting and knocked Rooke clean off his feet in the fith round, seven rounds being fought.. Rooke did good execution with his lett bund and gave the audience the idea of possess- ing the best staying power, but he was co paally overpowered by weight superior ature, A rent deai of tecling was man- ifested, and Taylor had the call and the ap- se Of the audience, The wind up was quite own very well, getting in several quick and sharp blows on the neck and cuest ot Taylor, Taylor counted and the best show in stopping.

By special arrangement with the authorities, the an- ual summer contests of the Fort Greene Pedestrian Club took place in Prospect Park yesterday afternoon, Tne ground set apart for the use of the athletes was the pasture, which ts situated a little west of the music stand. The track consisted of the hard road that al- MOst surronuds the pasiure, making the figure of « horseshoe. When it is considered how poorly such a@ track is adapted to fast running or walking. the ume | made by some of the contestanis was excellent. « large number of ladies and gentlemen wero present to watch the exercises, and a number of open carriages were drawn up on the roadway near the half-mile turn | in the track. Promptly at four o'clock, the hour announced for | commencing the programme, Mr. 5. Pickford, captarn of the club, called the competitors tn the 100 yard race to toe the mark. Tho starters were George B. Parker, of the Harlom Athletic Club; J. B. Eliott, of Green- point, and W. H. Rolstov, of the Harlem Athieties. At the crack of @ pistol they all got away well, Parker vaking tho lead and holding it to e finish, Elliott same in sécond, about four yards behind the winner. Parker's time was 11 seconds. The second heat brought to the mark W. J. Duffy, of the Harlem. Ath- letic Club, and 8 M, Kendrick, of the Hariem Pedes- | trian Club. in this contost Duffy led all the way. He scored an easy victory in 114% seconds, Second on the pri ome was & haif-mile run against time by littie Frank Halsted, son of tho Pros- went of the club, He made the distince in 2m. 49s. remarkably fast time for a ten-year old boy, After this was over Mr, W. P. Haisiwa started to do a (en-mile wulk in 100 minutes, He started at 4b, 32s. Every time he scored a mile he was cheered by the crowds gathered on the sides of the track. He made the dis- tance jn th. 40m, os., just ONDS REWIND HIS APPOINTED TINE. antine Dufly and George Oakland, of the Winona Rowing Club, staried on a quarter-mile run. They used the same track on which Halstead was doing his ten-mile walk, but gauged tbe time of start: ing, $0 as not to interfere with him. Duffy race in 51s., beating his antagonist tully twenty-five yards. which accounts for his excelent time. The one-mile walk brought out Charles Connor, of the Harlem Athieies; R. Lb.
