8 YACHTING IN ENGLAND. Prospects for the Season of 1877. THE RACING SECTIONS. New Yachts and Old Favorites Improved, Losvow, May 14, 1877. Notwithstanding the unsettled stato of business and the general depression which exists througbout this and other countries owing tothe war the yacht rac- ing season promises to be an unusually busy oue, A Jew months ago it was prophesied by the knowing ones that there would be few races to be sailed and ovly small fleet of yachts in commission; but it is pleasing to. see that these forebodings are not being verified, and that both regattas and yachts to compete at them are likely to be more numerous than ever. Already a few small matches bave been sailed on the Thames and elsewhere, and on the 23d inst. Une great metropolitan cutters’ matches begin by these of the Royal Thames Yacht Cinb, followed by tho Royal London Yacnt Club on the 24th and the New Thames Yacht Club on the 25th, From these dates until the last day of August nearly every day nas already beer taxen for regattas and matches, and stil} numerous fixtures bave to be made. For the mailciaswes of yachts there is plenty of racing pro- vided on the Thames during the mext four months, but the larger vessels, that is to say those of forty tons and apward, will forsake the London river on the 11th of June, thedate on which the Royal Thames Yacht Ciub sails its channet mateh from the Nore to Dover. After the regatta of the Royal Cinque Ports Yacnt Club, which extends over three days, the fleet will, as usual, divide, some going northward to the Morsey and Clyde and others remsuantng in the south, contenting them- selves with afew days racing at Havre and elsewhere until aU) meet ayaim at Cowes in the beginning of August, With so short a season as our climate allows of during which yachtimy can be enjoyed on our coasts the difficulty in arranging the numerous regattas 60 18 to prevent them clashtng with each other is very great, but this year tho various clubs and regatta commiltees must be con,tratulated on the satisfactory manner in which this bas been done, With a few ex- ceptions none of the i:uportant meetings interfere with one another, The exception most to be re- gretted is that of the Royal Cork—the oldest yacht club in existence—whit:h with a strange perverseness haz chosen the 12th and 13th of June for holding its re- gatta, which days ase tha ve previously selected by the Royal Cinque Ports, At “he time the Royal Cork mage its fixtures tho dates of the Fal- mouth, Piymoutn and cWher regattas in the south were not arranged, s® tnat, as was pointed out in Land and Water several times, the racing at Cork mzight bite followed immedi- ately after the rngatta of the Rvoyal Irish Yacht Club at Kingstown. ‘Thus the yacbts! could éasily have visited, Queenstown en route tor the Solent racing. From its raV yer isolated situation the Royal Yorkshire Yacht Club can scarcely prevent its ;"egatta from clash~ ing with others, and for the same reawon the regatta of the soc¥jié des Regates du Havre also generally suflers. A few other regattas of ntinor tmportance clash with others, but altogether tho dates are well @ aosen and there is little to complain of THE RACING SECTIONS. ‘ks the season continues for tour months, 8o also We racing is, as {t were, divided into four sections, Rach bavitg a locality of itsowu. That isto gay, the Thames regattas, which include the racing on the river, at Harwich and at Dover; the nortw- ern regattas, comprising he sailing = on the Mersey, at Burrow, and on the Clyde; the Irish ttas, and lastly the regattas inthe south, whieb consist of the Solent racing and the regattas at the various ports between Lund’s End aud the Isle of Wight. Taking these sections separately it willbe seen that the sport in each promises improvement. On the Thames tho racing in ail classes 18 likely to be better thun usual, The chief reason tor this 1s that the new Thames Yacht Club bas relinquished the rule of measurement, which, whether right or wrong, was 0 obnoxious to racing yachtmen that they refused to Jet their vessels compete under it, Not only has this club now returned to its fortaer measurement rule, but 1 bas thrown its matches open to yachts belonging te other clubs, an action which will doubtless promote sport and which might well be imitated by the other clubs on the river. Another reason for the racing be- ing bevter this season on the Thames than in lormer yoars 15 the lact that at lust a reaily good fleet of tcn ion yachts bas been got togetber. No class does so much to encourige good facing as this, and now that some first rate ten tonners are in the river tue sport should ve excelient, Iu the northern division there is also an increase in the prospect of sport. On the Mersey there will be two days’ racing instead of one oniy, as was the cuse jast summer, ‘Ihe Barrow Yacht Ciub, idle last year, gives turee days’ racing this; and on the Clyde the young club dignified with the tle of udhook’’ boids a regatta. 1n Ireland sport is always “last and furious,’ and this summer, with @ race from the Clyde to Bangor, the asual regattas at Bangor and Kingstown and the two days’ racing at Queenstown, besides the locul meetings, yachismen will be kept busy. Beginmng with the Royal Cornwall at Fal- mouth wud racing at Plymouth, Torquay, Swanage, Soutuampion, Cowes, Kyde, Southsea, Weymouth and Dartmouth, the yachts will not have an idie hour trom the 24th July to the dlet August, for the racing In the south will be incessant during that period. THK RACING VACHTS —SCHOONHRS. ‘Thus it will be seen that there are ample opportuni- ties aftorded for racing and sport, aud it may uot be puoi place to gluuce at the yachts which will take purt mit, Inthe schoover class neither Egeria nor Oiga will race, but their places will be taken by the Sea Belie and Miranda. The first ot these two is well kuown as the closest winded of her rig ever launched.

On several occasions last summer she showed signs of high speed, but inthe mateb irom the Nore to Dover she per- formed so inuiflerentiy that she was not raced again. She is a line vessel, but is, perbaps, too heavily built to compete with much sucéess, The Gorimne, which catne out in the middle of the seuson last year, but still won so many races, will begin early this year, and, with new canvas, will be sure Lo ao weil, Fife’s Inst built schoover, the Meiita, bad no chance given her last summer, as on tho lew occasions when she was raced her crew consisted of men totally anaccustomed to racing, aud sho was ubprovided with the gear necessury for setting balloun suis, This year, however, Mr. Tod hus got @ racing skipper anu crew, aud everything will be done to pul ber ito proper trim.

CUTTERS. ‘The large cutter class, although it bas not received any new additions, will be reinforced by Cythera, Kriembhilda, Lulworth aud Verouica; so that the racing in it should be more interesting than ever. Cythera will not visit the Thames, but may come south alter the Irish regattas, je Inay go to Queenstown, aud thence to the Mersey; but in any case she 18 al- most certain to be at the latter regatta, and will race on the Clyde and in Ireiand. Kriemhiida has had her bullast recast, ber spars lightemed aod ber co] smoothed, but will not be ready for the matches on tho Thames, although she may be so jor the Channel raco to Dover. Afier lying ile for yeara the Lulworth 1s to come out again, with a icad keel, but unultered in bull, and 18 to try her fortune with her more modern sisters, and Veronica bas beep so nearly rebuilt by Hatcher that makes her reappearance almost a new vessei. Arrow will probubly tiave more lead put on her keel, but wu! not race on the Thames, Vol- au-Vent, ag usual, will begin early, and the Neva, which has changed bunds, but which will be sailed, as before, by Crantield, will be raced wherever there is match for her. . The cutters in the forty ton class are the same as last year, and no alterations have been made to any of them exeepting repairs, &c. Blocahound bas a new maingail and Myosotis has had new saus given her by Lupthorue, Britannia has been recopperen) very care- fully, and bas bad a lighter but longer mast stepped. Corulie has bad ber ballast bet er stored, and Norman has boen recoppered, On the Clyde the Thane has been overhaul FS , aud altogether, although there are no new vei the, racing in this class will be as in- teresting as ever. The twenty ton class bas been added to by Hatcher, who hag built a very bandsome vessel, the Euriqueta, for Mr. Jameson, lormerly the owner of Queva. This yacht is supposed to be an tmproved Vanessa, and with ber owner at ber tiller and a pertect racing outiit will bave a busy and probably a successful season, Mr, F, Pochin bas a new yacht called Frederica, built at Kast Donylana by Harris, # good looking boat, The Playmute has been lengthened by the bows, and her stern post bas been brought more upright, so that her tonnage may uot be increased. Butterfly has had her spars docked and more icad put oo her keel, and Sun- shine has had her drangbt increased amidships. Cha leauge, Vanessa, Shulab, &c., remain unaltered, and the racing among them 18 sure ta be close and exciting. ‘The fifteen ton class probably exist only owiug to the fact that there are still a tew Vessels of that size which aro fast enough tu race, It has uot been added to for years, and 1t6 decease cannot be far distant, However, the racing in it 18 good, the vessels being very weil matebed, In the south Dudu, Torch, Red Rover and he tweive ton Quiver are the best of the flee. Of these Lorch only bus been improved. She has been put into thorough repuir, and, with reduced spars avd new canvas, should be considerably faster (ban she was juat year, in the north no changes, excepting that Il- degonda is in new hunds, have taken place, and ibe racing should be much the same as in former years. THN TONNERS. Every seagon new ten touners are built, and this one 1s nO exception to the rule, But the year 1877 will probably be best remembered for beimg tbat ia which a genuine ten tou class was establistied ou the Thames. Hitherto the socalied ten ton class vn the Thames bas beeu rather a mixed up kind of affair, there not being a sufficient number of racing ten tonners to make a guod entry. This year, how- ever, what with new bovts built aud others brought to the river from various localities, the racing promises to be as yood as can’ be desired. Dummer, the butider of Sbulah, Rayouette, &c, bas vuilt « bandsome tea tonner lor Mr, Tura She raced on the 9th ip a match of the Prince of Wales Yackt club, but was beaten witb ridiculous ease; butshe was evidently much too light, as the least breeze laid ber nearly on her beam ends, and i! sho cun be made to keep on her legs she may yet prove a good boat, ‘The Kon-l-Noor, which was just sum- mer, by Stow & Shoreham, tor Mr, Baaen-Powell, who desigued ber, bud lead put on ber kee! during the win- ter; but, although she won the Corinthian Yacht Club match op the 28d of April, she was terribly beaten on Une 8th of Muy by the six ton Virago, in @ matcu of the same clubs, Another new ten tonner has been built by Forrest tor Dr. Bain, who has designed her. She is of the large displacement typ» and carries spars large aud heavy enough jor u twenty tonner. So far very little is known about her, as there has been a good deal of secrecy obeerved in her building. The Zepbyr made her appearance with reduced and more keel, but, waoetuer owing to the ulterations or uot, she appeared to be itched, ag she sailed wretchedly in both matches she has started im. That good hitie bout, the Lay, whica in 1875 perlormed so wonderiully, hus been brought by Mr. &. F. Quilter tothe thames, ana will po coubt have anober first rate season. She started on the 9tb inst, and only lost secona prize by Jess taau baif a minute to Butterfly (twenty tons), after carrying away ber topmust—a really grand per- formance over a sixty mile course, This boat, it will be remembered, was butlt 1p 17) at Liverpool, to the designs of Mr, Alex. Richarason, who bas since designed the famous twenty ton Challenge, aod the only season sho was raced she Deat all of her own tonnage. Another Liverpool built boat, the Klaine, the champion of her class until Queta deprived ber of her position, has also joined the Thames fleet, aud these, with Bonita, Stanley and a few more, shoul. show such sport as hus never yet been witnessed on the London river. In the north there is the usual stir und activity, Mr. Watson, the designer of Vril, Cloulde, Freke, &c., has built a very bandsome, fast looking boat called the Verve for Mr. Wylie, formerly owner of the tast little Mayflower and last year of the Sirius. Boag, of Fair- lie, bas but an improved Gondola, which with ubout ao inch legs beam aud over a toot woro length, is ex- ected to reach and rug faster than Gondola or Cloud. f she does this and goes to windward as well she will be very hurd to beat by the best of her class, Mr. Conuoll, the well known builder of the tea clippers, has built for himselr a composite vei which is to carry an enormous area of canvas, her. mainsail having about eighteen inches more noist than that of ine Florence, uw boat which certainly did not for driving power. Gondola bas got a new masta little longer than ¢ old ope, but is otherwise unchanged.

Few events have caused more excitement or have been more talked about than the tive ton mutches be- tween Freda und Vril and Freda aud Camellia, which begin at Holyhead on the 14th inst. But owing to them the five ton raving on the Thames is likely to sufler, a8 Freda will be absent, and thus the fignt- ing will be confined to Alouette, Virago (six tous), Adele, if she finds a new owner, and the old fleet consisting of Arrow, Unda, &c., unless some new boats turn up. On the Ciyde and in Irejand, however, the sport will be better than ever, File bas a new boat built for a gentieman in Cork, and Mr, Kingsicy, of Kingstown, has built oue—the Finesse—to lines sup- plied by Mr. Watson, Vril bas bad ber baliast restowed and Will be more weatherly, but the oticrs remain un- changed, These, with Clio, Camelia, Clotilde, Cyn- thia, Freds, Chance, &c,, will torm a fleet which bas never been equalied in these waters.

New Haven, May 26, 1877. Four week ago those learned in the art of rowing were going into ecstasies over the good shape of the Yale eight It must be owned that the crew was row- ing remarkably well, considering how early in the season it was. The oatch was fair, the feather was excellent, and altogether the form was as good a4 it Jast year the lstofJuno. This state of things too good to last, however, and the unpleasant dise covery was made that speed was being sacrificed to s0- cure good form—that form had elbowed style imto the cold, and that the boat was not getting through the water at ali {ast enough, Many changes, therefore, had to be made, breaking up the carefully acquired form apd undowg the work of week» of weary couching. ‘The men are again iu tolerably good form, and there 19 a@senaible improvement in the style, tll the bout does not move aloug as it should, The style needs farther lookiug to, A periect style once acquired, form wil! follow without very mach troubie. The med selected from a targe Untveraity to pall four miles are neturally men far superior im general physique to tbe average oarsman, bat they are, from their wery #1z0, apt to prove difficult sulgects to drill into shape.

This they bave done in order to avoid the rough water of the barvor, which at tuig seagon of tho year is very windy. Lake Whitney ts an exceilent place tor coaching purposes, as w curriage road runs along the shore of the lake some distance, epabling the couch to ride abreast of the crew and {rom a horse to shout to them his criti- cismsand directions, Ina few duys one of the boats will be taken-back to the oli place, and the broud, shady verandans of toe boat bouse will agaia become the popular resort of those woo wish Ww spend a coul hour or two watebing and criticming the crew.

At the Doncaster sales his reserved price was $5,100, but was bought in for $3,400, and subsequently sold by private contract to the Duke of St. Albans, his present owner. ENGLISH, RACING TIME.

The unprecedented heat of the pas‘ week has been a Godsend tothe place, and has been the means of sending quite a large number of cuttagera from New York, Boston, Philadelphia and elsewhere. It 18 a well knowa fact, however, that Newport" guests usually put in an appearance very early in the seugop, aud that they arein te habit of remaining Jate in the fall—that is, the cottagers are apt to do so, ‘This year, theretore, 18 no exception, bus it must be concedes that they are arriving in larger Bumbers than ever before. The ‘“suinmer city” never loekes more inviting than it does at the present time and ig equally as lively as tuo “winter” or independent city. The cottage season beyius weeks before the hotel season, the cottagers not depending upon the follies and fasbions of tho day, but come here early inthe spring, Neither season has much in. fluence upon the other; for, a8 your readers are wet aware, hotel fe is mot extremely popular, A few yours ago there were seven hotels, but at the present Ume there are but two that cater strictly tothe sum- mer business—viz., the Aquidneck and Ocean Houses, Hotel business docs not pay, notwithstanding the prices charged are as high as they are at other water. ing placea PREPARING THE GARDENS. Nature bas done much tor Newport so far this aoa- son, and ber elegant lawns and shade trees never looked more inviting than they do atthe present time. The extensive jawns have received the attention of skilled gardeuers, and Jook as smooth as a billiard table tn their new spring suit. Lawa mowers are kept con- stantiy at work, und every blade ol grass is cut as soon as it rises 4 sixteenth of an inch out of the grouna, Newport boasts of her gardeners and florists, and 1 is doubtiul if a more enterprising class of workmon can be found anywhere else in the country. They have beautified Newport and materially aided in earning her reputation for beautifully laid out estates, flowers, fruit, &c. They take no little pride in their work, and furnish the New York, Boston and Philadelphia mare kets with large quautities of out. flowers during tne winter and spring. months, and to a great ex- tent the whole year round as well The grounds connected with many of the cottages are cared for by private gardeners, who earn oxcollent wages and usually live on the. place where they are employed; other estates are kept im order by outside gardeners, who, for 4 moderate sum, keep them im order for the eutire season, and early in the spring plant and set out the flower beds, gravel the walks, &c, A walk along the (asbiouable thoroughfares will.amply repay the stranger, or in fact anybody else, A good view can be hed of the grounds of most of the estates, and shuuld tho trees obstruct permission to enter the gateway is almost always granted by the gardeners to seo the fruits of their handiwork aud to envy their fortunate employers, PROSPECTS OF THE BRABON, The prospecis for u guou seasou, socially and others wise, ure very flattering, and without doubs it will ex- ceed wapy Of its prodevessors, some are of the opinion what the attractions of the great Centennial Exhibition last year materially drew off considerable revenue trom the place, and that now the summer b rds of travel will spend more mouey bere and will make up tur the losses iucurred last season. Ther ne doubt that tue hetels were uflected last year by tue Centennial, a3 a visit to Philadelphia usually cost thé amouct which they had set upart ior their summer's vacution, and consequently Nowport did uot come im for wu tull share, Last sea son, however, Newport was biossed with aa ly large Bumoer of distingujshed foreigners, who were in the country for the purpose of attending the Exhibiiton, promement among the number’ being Dom Pedro, Emperor of Brazil, aud the kmpress, Doo Carlos was also bere, and imade quite a visit.
