The English and American records and best performances are given for all the championship distances, except five hundred yards, the latter event not being held as frequently in England as the others, while in America no championships are regularly held at this distance. All the English championships and records at swimming are held by native-born Englishmen. Only three of the American

holders are native-born-Whitaker, Reeder and Thompson. Dr. Kenney is an Austraian; French and Hart are Englishmen and Dr. Paul Neumann an Austrian. The great swimming feats for 1897 in America were one hundred yards in 1m. 7%s., by D. B. Renear, of California, at Chicago, July 3, and two hundred and twenty yards in 2m. 57%s., by Donald M. Reeder, of New-York, at same time and place; but, as both these distances were swam in the lagoon, with a surface wind current, they were invalidated as records. H. F. Bremer, of California, swam a quarter mile on the same day, with and against this wind current, in 7m. 8s., and Dr. Paul Neumann covered a mile over the same course in 30m. 24%s., which are the best American records under these conditions. The world's greatest swimmer is Joey Nuttall, English professional champion. On September 8, 1897, in a five-hundred-and-tenyard match with Cavill, Australia's champion swimmer, he won, the time being 6m. 3428. Nuttall has a half-mile record of 12m. 7s., over a one-hundred-and-tenyard open water course, and has covered 960 yards in 13m. 238., and one mile over a two-hundred-and-twenty-yard open water course in 26m. 8s.

YACHTING.

The yachting season of 1897 was one of only medium interest. In the Goelet Cup race for schooners only one, the Colonia, went out to compete, and after sailing alone over the course was not allowed to take the $1,000 trophy. Only two cutters-the Navahoe (winner) and the Vigilant-competed for the $500 Goelet Cup for single-stickers. The SeawanhakaCorinthian Yacht Club failed to win back the challenge cup which was lost in the previous summer to the Royal St. Lawrence Yacht Club, of Montreal, Canada. In the trial races the 20-footer Momo, designed and sailed by Clinton H. Crane, won from eleven competitors and was selected as the defender. In the series of challenge races, which began at Lake St. Louis, near Montreal, on August 14, the Canadian boat, the Glencairn II. fouled the buoy at the start and lost one contest. In the three subsequent races, sailed in brisk winds, the Canadian craft won. Among the schooner yachts the presence of two or three fast boats closed out whole fleets of twostickers, which did not race because they held no chance of winning, and the Colonia and Emerald divided everything between themselves. In the 51-foot sloop class, the Syce and the Wasp took everything in sight. The Larchment Yacht Club gave no less than fifteen regattas. The following are the principal events:

The Newport Yacht Racing Association gave a $250 cup that was raced for between the Navahoe and the Vigilant on September 4, in which contest the Vigilant fouled a mark and the cup went to the Navahoe. The club gave several prizes for the special 30-footers, in which class there was continued racing in Newport waters The throughout the year. Vaquero III won the greatest number of these races.

The most important innovation of the year was the introduction of a long ocean race during the cruise of the New-York Yacht Club. Commodore J. Pierpont Morgan offered $5,000 In two cups to be contested in a 185-mile race from Vineyard Haven to a point near Bar Harbor. They were won by the Vigilant and Colonia.
