UNION  YACHT  CLUB.
The  Union  Yacht  Club  of  New  York  was  founded  January  7,
1864,  and  incorporated  March  14,  1865.  Their  first  annual
regatta  was  sailed  on  the  27th  July,  1864.  The  course  was
from  a  stake-boat  off  New  Brighton,  Staten  Island,  to  a  boat
moored  off  Owl's  Head,  Long  Island,  and  return — ^making  a  dis-
tance of  some  twenty-seven  miles.  The  following  yachts  com-
peted :  Mist,  forty  tons,  C.  J.  Ketchum ;  Lillie,  ten  tons,  Com-
modore James;  Katydid,  fourteen  tons,  L.  Ketchum;  Pauline,
fourteen  tons,  Messrs.  Peters;  and  the  Iris,  fourteen  tons,  M.
Willett.  The  Lillie,  while  proceeding  from  Cold  Spring  to  the
rendezvous,  encountered  a  severe  gale,  which  prevented  her
from  taking  part  in  the  race.  The  Katydid  came  in  first,  the
Pauline  second,  and  the  Iris  third.
