THE HISTORY OF AMERICAN YACHTING. May Light-ship and return. I may mention that the only entries for this prize were the schooners Idler, owned by Mr. Samuel J. Colgate, and the Atalanta, owned by Mr. William Astor. The start was made October 12, and the Atalanta won, beating the determined mainly by chance, that they have proven so distasteful to yacht owners. This race concluded the racing of this remarkably active yachting year, but previous to this, on September 16, the Seawanhaka club had a fine fall regatta at Oyster Bay, and also a fall event over the regular club course on September 19. The entries to the latter event, however, were few, only two schooners in each of the two schooner classes, and a single sloop in each of the two classes of that rig, showing that owners had become tired of racing. The Seawanhaka club finally wound up its season by a Corinthian race for all second- class schooners over its New York course, and the Brooklyn club had also a concluding race over its regular course. The Atlantic club also had a pennant regatta on September 23.
