Thyraco was eaid by the oldest yachting men to bo the best and most closely contested ever seen in the world, The wind was moderate from the west northwest at the start, As the yachts ran dead before it to the ouer mark 16 ncreased and before they had sailed half the wind ward | work returning, it was blowing balf a gale from the north-northwest with quite & lumpy sea, The Puritan housed her topmast, but the Genesta lugged her topssil to the finish, She was 2 wivutes 6 eeconds ahead at the outermark. wmodore Jamos D). ) t n' main boom passed the finish live «ff Seotland light-ship to day after the closest coxtest evor sailed over auy forty wile course, The Genesta was beaten 1 winute, 85 eoonds corrected tlme, and 9 winutes, 2 seconds actual time. Tha courso was twenty wilen to leeward and retarn from Sotland lightship, The wind being west-north the yachts wore sent away on an east-south- east coursn dead before the wind, In this run the cutter beat the xloop 1 minute, 21 seconds. From there to the fivich they made but one short tack of a milo, and two long lege of nine and ten mi'es, respectively, in a half gale of wind which canta to north-northwest soon after the outer mark was tured, In this work the Paritan gained 3 minutes aud 31 seconds from polnt to poiut.

H, Longstreet, Edward Post and Rev. Mr. Benjamin, The tky overhead was as clear ae a bell, but out over the New Jersey hills in the west ward fleecy white clouds were rising, giving the promise of an increase in force of the moderate breeze from west-northwest then blowing, There was ono solitary speo ator on the blaffs of Fort Wadsworth as the boat passed through the narrows where there had been thousands on Monday to aee the finieh of the first race, There was no _time loat in prepsraticns to-day. ‘When the judges’ boat arrived o Sandy Hook the Genesta and Puritan were both reen under weigh close up unoto Scotlavd lightship, tho starting point, As so0n aa Mr: M. H Schuyler, representing the Geneata on the Puritan, was put on board the Iatter yacht, aud Fleet Captain Robert Center boarded the Genesta to do similar duty for the the tug Scandinavian, in Messrs, 8. T, Lippincott Olsen, was sent away tolog out a conrse esst-southeast leeward, and at 10:45 the committee boat anchored with the lightship bearing south-southwest, o distance of 150 yards, This formed an im- aginary line through which the yachts were to pas \ t this time the steam yachts El cira, Stranger, Corsan, Vision, Sentinel, Polynia and Skylark had gathered eouthwest of the boat, The steamers Grand Republic, Taurus, Siriue, H, T. Buya, snd ths old Dominion line steamship Richmond, their decks fairly black with en- thusisstic spectators, lay clote by with enough flags flyig to wsupply & couple of circuses. ‘gl‘hs breeze was freshen ing every moment and the prospect of a grand race to leeward, whore the yachits could carry their spiunakers, was tufficient to creato the utmost excilement, When the proparatory whistlo was given at exactly 1l o'clock, the Puritan lay about a quarter of & mile astern of the judge's boat headed southwost, the spionaker boom down to starboard, main cheet hauled aft, and jib sheet to windward, One minute before the starting whistlo was blown the Genesta came tearing across the tug stern and the Puritan’s bow on port tack, heading parallel with the line, Those who were watching the move- mentsof both were positiveshs would crossthe line before the signal was given, ond breath- losely nwaited ths result, Just then the Puritan’s main sheet was paid out Captain Crocker put her helm down and_she cams for the line, 8o finely had the cutter’s skipper calculated time that while the starting whistle was blowing she shot across, ber grew running her immense epinnaker aloft as ehe went over and broukiog 1t outin just 30 seconde, _Away she flew to leoward, leadiog tho Boston eloop by 45 scconds. The latter broke out her baloon jib as she crossad and eot her spinnaker in a minute after. What a grand piciure those t#o clipper yachts presented as they dashed away, with their pyramids of snow white canvass tower- iog above their narrow hulls Al steam yachts kept well to leeward of the twin racors, and the smaller ones wera puzzled to keep pace with them, Official timo of the start was: Genesta ULh, 5m, 163, Pusitan 1th, 6m 18, The Paritan soon began to closs the gap made at the start. She kept directly in her antagonist’s wake until nearly up with her, when she bauled out to esstward so that the Genesta conld not keep cff and prevent her passing, At 11:35 she took in her balloon j'b- topsail and staysail snd at 11:45 they bad passed oat ahead of the Genesta about half a length, Her spinnaker was not dras well at this time, neither was her main- sail for the wind was ‘“at main boom end,” Captain Cartor, recopnizivg this fact, touk in his spinuaker at 12 o'clock, gybad ber main-boom, dipped her #pitnaker boom, aud set sail on port ade, all in fve minutes, She immedistely drow shead of tho eloop, and in_ half an hour bad passed her. This wos surprise, but What was coming was a greater one, Fiftecn mirutes latter the cutter was a good quarter of awile in the lead, with her great white spinvaker beluying out in a stif- fening breeze, The Puritan wou.d not gybe, although their spinnaker was not drawing and she was steadily dropping astern. Down came the Genesta’s club topsail at 12.50, the Paritan’s coming in & moment later. The cuiter set & working topsail bus the sloop set 10 other, Atjl p.m, the Genesta’s spinnaker boom was covered on deck and eve?chink made snug for a long beat to windward, Tho large pas- senger boats and steam yachts hal gathered off the outer mark and all eyes were upon the two boats as they came bounding along. All thought then thet the Genesta was winner, Official time of the rounding was: Gepesta 1h, 05m. 30s, the Puritan 1b, 7m, 363 ‘The latter boat, with her msin sheet bauled flat aft gybed as she rounded, and in a minute after she was close hauled on starboard tack, standing to the southward. The Puritan made a wide turn, which placed her farther to lee- ward and now commencsd a graud strugele for the finlsh—twenty miles to windward, Black, threatening clouds appesred in the northiwest preeaging more wind for the boats, The Puritan went about first at 1:23 and the Genesta a ninute Iater, Capt Crocker thought it prudent to house the Puritan’s topmast at 1:25, as the wind was coming fast and heavy while an unl‘r sea was rising into which the yachts plunged. Three light lecch lines on the Puntan’s jib were led aft and when hauled taut by Gen, Paine, much im- proved the set of the asil. Out from the northwest at 1:45 came a spiteful squall of wind, whistling through the ahrouds of the boats, Iashiog the gresn waves into foam and sending the spray in sheets high over the yachts to windwurd Those on the emall tugs were drenched with the heavy seas that boarded them, Everyope thought the cutter's topsail must come in, Down tho went, keeling over as she felt the forca of the equall, till her les rail was lot to rixht in » smother of glitteriog foam; over yet (il the water was washing up to her ikylights smidships, and there was a Jimit, Captain Carter held to her courso then ab.ut north by cast one quarter oast, for the wind had hauled to north-northwest, and she eermed to tpring through choppy seas, which were topped with eeething white cape, as far to win Iward as the eye could resch, Tho Puritan was waking excellent weather of it ut this ime and was steadily ‘‘eating up through ths Genesta's lee, * Just bsfore she tacksd at 2:17 she was full balf mile on the Genesta’s e bow, Iustead of tacking when she could bave croesed tho Genvsta's bows sha kept ob, thereby ths com mittee say, losivg much valuable ground, The Genesta went abous at The stretch to westward proved to be the last one, a8 tha wind favored the yachts, o they were able to fetoh a finish. When Capt, Crocker found he could ly fotch the lightship helstarted the sloop's sheets andgave her a “good full.” Sho was then about huit o mile «u the Enilishman's weather quar: ter, who also had his main sheet started a trfle, but was “‘pointing”’ very high. At 8:35 the Puritan kept broud off, and came “bolling” down for the Geuesta's weather, evidently intending to blanket ber, Captain Carter, secing this, put the cut- ter's belm down sudderly sud shot the Genesta 10to the wind acroes his)ival's stern and took s windward poeidon himself, al- though he lost fully three minutes by the operation, There was a “lufliog” match for a ’1" -a.umanu until the Puritan got far enough ahead, of Rejolcing in New York, New Youk, Sept, 16,—There was groat re- jolcing at the rooms of the New York Yacht elub to-night, each mgmber as be entered not feeling saticfied until he had shaken every other members hand and asked bim whai he thought of the victory, The gevoral expres elen was that the Koglish boat had been fairly beaten with & wind sud sea that gave her all the advant- ages she looked for, and thst were it mot for the miserable way in which the Pari- tan was sailed sho could bave ewily beaten the Gonesta by at least ten minutes more than thatounrnud :hlnz 'l‘Lml Pacific Yacht club seot »_coogratulatory telegram to the New York Yacht club from San ¥Francisco, ei gnaa by their commodore.

'T'o sccure the full nutritiva value of corn fodder, it should be grown in rows suffiolently wide apart to admit an abundance of light and air. Light and air are bosh neceseary for the full development of the plant, aud tho productlon of starch, sugar and cther vuiritius conatituents of the stalk and leaf. Tho palo, yellow loaves aud atalks, thst result broxdeast eew: ing, are of litls vaiue, sud when drled become harsh, brittia and tasteloss, 8o that a horse or cow rejects such food with disdaln, unless starved into eating it. But the dark green, well grown fodder is sweet, tender, aud #s we have sid, s equal to hey for winter feedlng. To save the fodder in the best condition, 1t should be cnt before frost has touched it, or the tassel hss dried. It it has been grown for graln the time to cut it 1s when the kernel is glazed, but fs yet roft enough to be Imprested by the thumb nail. When the crop has been grown for fodder alone we cut it befora vhe blossom hes galte faded,and when the ears upon it are half grown, To care a luxurient crop of fodder, weighing, while gresn, twenty tonw per acre, Is notan easy matter, ucless one goes the right way about 1t. The stalks should be cat cloga to the surface of the ground, s> as to leave no stubble in tho way of fitting the ground at once for a crop ryo. For this purposs, we find the old-fachloned corn hock, madoe of & pleco of an old scythe, at- tached to a shor:, atont handle to be the A stout brush long, isalso an oxcellent implement for outting by hand.

It bound {n emall sheaves, welahing about twenty-five pounds, which is a conven- ient way to use It for feeding, and theee sheaves are met up lo shocks, and pro- tected from the rain. In this way the fodder will cure perfectly well without molding, and preserves its color and sweotnese, until 1t is ready to be taken in, when the best wsy to dispose of 1t is to stack it in open barrack: ‘What Can Bo Done ona Bieycle.
