Notwithstanding the fact that (he season is likely to be unproductive of many new yachts there have been extensive alterations in many boats with ® reputation for speed, and as each oratt i ‘bas been operated upon with a view to improvement | | marred the sport a great deal, aud tended to give a The sensation in yachting circles, however, is the | a number of these non- | there jg @ probability of some interesting racing. catamaran, and as there descripts building tn different portions of the country there wil! be probably some good races between them. The performance of the Amaryilis inst year showed what a remarkable spoed can be obtained in acratft of the catamaran build; but as the Regatta Committe ruled ber out of the regatta in which she sailed, it bas always been supposed that sue would have to confine ber appearance in regattas to those tn which there was & special prize tor vossels of Ler class. Mr, Anson Phelps Stokes, a member of the New York Yacht Club, recently sent to Mr. Minton, th. of the club, the certiflcute of Measurer Cary’ ‘Smith, ap- plying to the schooner yacht Nereid, which he desired to be filed in the club certificatos,. ‘The certificate de- scribes the Nereid as follows:—Tonnage, 17.24; length length ou water line, 30,05 feet; extreme breadth of beum, 11.32 teet; draught of water, 221 feet; cubical content, 903.8, centreboard, and to loot boat. This form was pertuctly en reyle, it when it became known that the Nereid was a gouble-hull catamuran, schooner-rigged, considerabie discussion e ag to Whether she was elfgibie to belong to the club, It is understwod she ta double. hulled, with accommodation on the port bull for the crew, and a cabin tor the owner aud guests in the star- bourd bull, The tact that the measurer granted the Neroid a certiticate was sufficient for Secretary Minton to enroll hor among the schooners of the Now York Yacht Club, as by the reading of gection 2, chaptor 4, of the Bylaws, “No yacht'ehull be represonied in the club unless by her design aud construction she is well suited to accontpany the squadron ona cruise; and the measurer sball withhold his certiticate frown any | yacht which may not, in his opinion, ve suited to ‘meet this requirement,” ho Nereid bas, therefore, been duly enrolied ou tho list of second class schooners of the New York Yucht Club, and will consequently bo eligible to compete in the next Juve regutty with the yachts of her class. In case the Nereid should enter for the next regatta iv may Le interesting to, notice tbe difference im her cupical content with those of some of the other schooners of her clays, The Restiess measures over 6,000 feot; Estelle, 5,726; Comet, 4,062.44; Peerless, 3,542; Clo, 3,728.52; ariel, 3,947; Eva, 4,466.76, and Petrel: 2,200, As (he Nereid only measures 903.8 fot sho will therefore receive trom filty-Uve to seventeen minutes trom her competitors, Tue faree, however, of her competing with these yachts will, however, be more completely understood by those who recollect thé perlormance of the Amaryllis last year. If the Nereid 1s proportionately (ast and there should bappea to be a soldicr’s breeze on the day of the regutta, tho second claxs schooners would probably be about the Southwest Split on the way out by the time the Nereid bad returned to the starting poi. One of the owners of u second class schooner of the New York Yacht Cinb said yosterday thatif thero were any catamarans entered’ to rave in his class ho should not allow his yacht to start. He did not care, however, to protest, as if the bout had a right to sail in tho regatta be snould not object to it, bus still he did not care tv take part ip the tarce of sailing against ber. Another gentleman said that if the matler was to be settied it bud better be decided at once, and that could be done by taking advantaye of the last clauso of chapter tour of the bylaws which reads, “On the writien representation of any two yacht owners to the secretary that the meagurer bas granted ucertilicate to @ yacht ualt to be repre- sented in the club, suco cortificate may be canceiled oy * najority of votes at any general or special meet- ing. ‘the latter course appears to be the easiost way of Teaching @ Satisiuctory decision, as the yacht owners can then decide upon the matter. The regalt will be looked forward to with much anxiety by the owners of other cd(umarans now building, ag it will probably give a precedent upon which other clubds will take ac- tion, YACHTING NOTES, Tho schooner yacht Gracie, Mrs J.
