Naiad,

Naiad lost considerably in jibing, and this wae taken advantage of by her rival, who now took the leading place. The wind again fell almost to a calin, which continued till about 8 p.m., and what followed was little better than a drifting match, The Naiad, having stood to the southward, daught a light air, which put her into a good leading position, and promised fair to give her the race. The breeze freshening, small-headed topsaifa were exchanged for square-headers, and everything tightened up for a beat home. Naomi soon began to overhaul her adversary, and while the wind lasted, edged up to windward and ahead. Off the Fair- way rock, the wind once more died away, and when abreast of the rock (56 minutes a.m.)

the two yachts kept together, making tack for task, and not more than 200 yards sepa rated them until the last stretch from Green, Island to the north shore, when Naomi drew out from Nalad's lee, taking up a weatherly and leading position, and winning the racu by 2 minutes and 16 seconds.

Naomi, having to allow one minute to Naiad, beats hor by only one minute and a quarter, after covering a distance of at least a hundred miles. It will thus be so01 that the enterprising owner of Naomi has suoceeded in carrying off the long-disputed Douglas Challenge Cup. The two yachts appear to have had a most interesting.con- test for the blue ribbon. We understand when running in a light breeze or when on that the Naiad's best points of sailing are the port task, while those of the Naom seem to be fresh beating breezes. A long stretch on the port tack at the finish would undoubtedly have given the Naiad a differ

fair chance of keeping the race for the valu. ent place, and she would then have had a able cup open for another season.
