At § o'clock a door in the south shed was opened and 200 invited guests filed in. It was the common opinion of the sharps that the new boat would be a fiver in broad reach and down wind, blow high or blow low, In windward work in a smooth sea all agree that it should exceed the older boats. In a stiff wind and a lump sea some think it will pound so much as to be retard: e’, but I he'ieve that it will slide over the waves as a toboggan slides down a welldiced hill. At any rate, she is nearer the ideal American skimming dish than any cup boat ever built—a centre boarder with the centre board fixed and loaded with lead—and there is not a lump or a line to offend the eye in all its outlines. gee and no end HB.
