I am convinced that length for length the boat with unrestricted beam can beat the tonnage craft, but I am also satisfied that a tonnage boat of moderate dimensions and of proper proportions takes such a lot of beating that there is much Jess to be said in favour of the relative speed of the length boat than has been said by the advocates of that type. The greatest difficulty in bringing the tonnage models to the perfection which attain, is that of steering. tainty with the curves of the modern form yet unconquered so far as the model is concerned, unless a deep, straight and thin keel is carried, and this means more friction and less speed. My object in writing, however, is not so much to speak of the characteristics of models, as to call the attention of your correspondents to the fact that a game of brag demonstrates nothing. If these advocates of different types would come together in a proper and becoming spirit, we should have some most interesting trials, which would be perused with pleasure by ail your readers. 13, North St., Wesminster, July 16th, 1886.

THE AMERICA CUP, Sir,—The editor of the Vew York Herald, in yesterday’s issue, says, ‘‘Few people in England, whose opinions are worth having, are sanguine enough to anticipate that the Galatea is good enough to take home the America Cup. After the Genesta’s failure it became evident that only an THE MODEL-YACHTSMAN. exceptionally fast vessel could hope to successfully compete with the American flyers.” Now, I beg to assure my fellow countrymen that the Galatea, or any ordinary British cutter. is plenty good enough (to use an Americanism) for the purpose, if the conditions were ‘“‘a fair field and no favour ;” but ali the same, you must not expect the Galatea, or any boat you send, to be more successful than was the Genesta. As to the American flyers, let me just state here, for the benefit of your readers who may not know, that in the late regatta of the New York Yacht Club, the so-called flyers (the Puritan, the Atlantic, and the Mayflower) were placed behind a cutter (the Bedouin) which the Genesta could admittedly vanquish, and it was by a mere prearranged class division that the other flyer, the Priscilla, was not also placed after the cutter. The corrected times for the race in question were: Priscilla, 5.59.45 ; Bedouin, 6.7.19; Atlantic, 6.12.55; Puritan, 6.22.0; Mayflower, 6.34.31; this latter being also beaten by the little English cutter Clara, with a record of 6.29.12, while the famous Gracie could not finish under 6.46.09; and it was not cutter weather either, being, as is almost general at yacht races here, only sufficient to make a good drifting match. In New England waters on the same day, June 17, two cutters headed the fleet in the Dorchester Regatta, the English cutter Stranger leading the Yankee cutter Huron by 3min. 3sec., and both cutters leaving all the sloops half an hour behind. I only mention these matters to show your readers that they must not judge as to the comparative merits of cutters and sloops, even for these waters, by any performances in the America Cup races. Certainly cutters are not so suitable for the shallow waters and generally stagnant atmosphere here as are the skimming dishes ; but then these conditions do not prevail on your side, and should not affect you atall. It is well enough understood here that if once that cup crosses the ocean again, there is small hope of ever getting it back, and that is why the Yankees will not agree to any of the changes in place, &c., of sailing the match suggested by Mr. Beavor Webb. In the case of the Genesta, it was to an unprejucdiced person, simply an engineered affair all through. Yachtsmen on your side must not think—unless by the rarest good luck—of beating a skimming dish with a cutter, when the eourse to be sailed over is inside New York Bay. It (the bay) is full of shoals and knolils, tides and currents, and so on, so that even in charge of skilful pilots many a vessel finds itself suddenly landed on ¢erra firma without a moment’s warning. Even the Mew York ffleraid has the grace to suggest that the races should be sailed outside, as Mr. Webb desired ; but the club committee were too wide awake for that: if the cup must go to England it will not be their fault. It is a pity the Galatea accepted the terms at all. She may win—of course, there is no absolute impossibility in it—but the chances are all seemingly against her, she is handicapped all over. Should she be unsuccessful, as was last year the finest yacht that ever floated on these waters, I trust Englishmen will cease to challenge for the cup till the Yankees see fit to meet them in a fairer spirit, [We have been compelled to leave out the latter portion of the letter, which is in the same spirit as that part pub- lished.

Manchester M.Y.C.— {Second Report), — On Saturday, 24th July, one of the most important events of the season was contested at the Print Works’ Reservoir, Levenshulme. J. B. Lonsdale, Esq., had given a cup value #10, to be raced for by ro-ton models, and it was arranged that it should not become the absolute property of the winner until the same boat had won it twice. Last season this cup was raced for twice, and was won by Mr. H. Corbett’s ‘Daisy’ and Mr, G, Turner’s ‘Laura,’ respectively. On Saturday, ten boats came to the start, the race being two lengths of the pond, which with a good breeze from the S.W. made a beat outand arun home. First round: ‘Sarnia’ sc. W. J. Lenfestey bt. ‘Laura’ ct.G. Turner. ‘Maggie’ ct. W. H. Hargreaves bt. ‘Star of the Sea’ ct. C. Tomkins, ‘Daisy’ ct. H. Corbett bt. ‘Irex’ ct. J. B. Christie. ‘Aphrodita’ ct. C. Tomkins bt. ‘Ceres’ ct. W. Goldthorpe. ‘Cygnet’ ct, J. Saunders bt. ‘Iolanthe’ ct. R. E. Johnson. 2nd round: ‘Daisy’ beat ‘Sarnia’ and Maggie.’ ‘Aphrodita’ beat ‘Cygnet.’ 3rd round: ‘Daisy’ beat ‘Aphrodita.’ ‘Daisy’ has thus won the cup twice and this valuable prize becomes the property of Mr. H. Corbett. ‘Daisy’ and ‘Aphrodita’ are both of the same dimensions, namely, 834 inches beam, and 3534 load water line, but are of very different displacement, ‘Aphrodita’ weighing 35lbs. and ‘Daisy’ 27lbs. Excepting ‘Iolanthe,’ these two boats were decidedly the shortest and broadest of those racing, The experience of our club so far has not tended to bring the narrow type of boats into favour, as they have been generally beaten by those of shorter length and greater beam.
